Since the release of the Jeffrey Dahmer true crime series on Netflix, viewers have been taking it upon themselves to analyse the facts being presented by producers.
One follower of the case took to their TikTok, @killerfixation, and listed out the things that were ‘wrong’ in the series, from who Dahmer’s neighbour really was to who called the police.
In the short video posted on September 25, the user wrote: “Glenda Cleveland did not live next door to Jeff, she never even met him.

“She lived down the road from the Oxford apartments and it was her daughter and niece (Sandra Smith and Nicole Childress) who tried to save Konerak Sinthasomphone. She called the police about the situation but that is all.”
This claim has been backed up in numerous articles published about the case, and the second fact @killerfixation writes about- that Pamela Bass was his actual neighbour - is also mentioned.
“Pamela Bass was Dahmer’s actual neighbour and Jeffrey did give her a sandwich, however, it did not contain human meat,” the TikTok video went on to say.
“The pair were friends and when Dahmer got arrested, Pamela initially thought that Jeff had been the victim. When she found out the details she (initially) believed Dahmer had been framed. She even reportedly cried when she found out Dahmer had been killed in prison.”
“Some neighbours were suspicious of Dahmer and they even called the police a few times because of the smell complaints however, nothing was done about it.”
According to Marie Claire, the complaints made by neighbours weren’t of the smell of rotting flesh but rather of urine.
The final claim made on TikTok was that “Lionel Dahmer did not teach his son how to dissect roadkill. Lionel was unaware that Jeff even did any of that, he only found out once Jeff had been arrested.”
This seems to be confirmed by The NewYorker, which reported that: “Lionel and his boy drive around looking for roadkill to dissect in the garage [in the Netflix series], a demented form of father-son bonding that never actually happened (it was not until Dahmer's murder trial that Lionel learned the full extent of his son’s youthful fixation on dead animals).”
