That’s what “Dahmer” is about
At the center of the true crime series by “American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy (56) is Jeffrey Dahmer (1960-1994), one of the most notorious serial killers of the 20th century, played by Evan Peters (35). Between 1978 and 1991 he molested and murdered at least 17 young men. He performed cannibalistic acts on some victims. In 1994, a fellow inmate killed him in prison, where he was serving a multiple life sentence.
