He continued, explaining how the collaboration between producers and Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims’ households works–in brief, it doesn’t. “They don’t notify households after they do that. It’s all public document, in order that they don’t should notify (or pay!) anybody. My household discovered when everybody else did.” He elaborated on the toll it continues to take. “So after they say they’re doing this ‘with respect to the victims’ or ‘honoring the dignity of the households’, nobody contacts them. My cousins get up each few months at this level with a bunch of calls and messages they usually know there’s one other Dahmer present. It’s merciless.”
