Serial killer Dahmer was on his way to becoming an evangelist
He murdered 17 young men and boys in a sexually
driven orgy of necrophilia and cannibalism. Then, in prison, Jeffrey Dahmer
found God.
He murdered 17 young men and boys in a sexually driven orgy of necrophilia and cannibalism. Then, in prison, Jeffrey Dahmer found God.
Now the minister who presided over his jailhouse baptism and conversion says Dahmer’s 1994 beating death at the hands of a fellow inmate while serving multiple life sentences cut short a faith-spreading mission Dahmer would have carried to others behind bars had he lived.
“He was growing (in faith) and he would have been a great influence on other inmates. He would have had a tremendous impact,” said the Rev. Roy Ratcliff, a Church of Christ minister who baptized Dahmer in a prison whirlpool tub in May 1994.
The baptism took place about five months before Dahmer and another inmate were killed at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Wisconsin by a third prisoner who clubbed them to death while they were on a bathroom cleaning detail.
The man who did kill Dahmer, Christopher Scarver, was a convicted murder and diagnosed psychopath who later said God had told him to carry out Dahmer’s slaying.
Praise, Jesus!
