Netflix show Dahmer Monster – The Jeffery Dahmer Story covers the continuous murdering of people by the monster, also known as Jeffery Dahmer. The cops may have saved one young victim from dying. Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy create the show, and it tells us a comprehensive tale of a psychopath killer, Jeffery Dahmer. Evan Peters portrayed the character of Jeffery Dahmer, he also played Quicksilver in Marvel movies. Jeffery’s neighbor informed the cops after he saw a naked and drugged Konerak Sinthasomphone escaping Dahmer’s apartment in a bruised and hurt condition.
Sinthasomphone’s death is displayed in the second episode of the crime series. Dahmer tempted 14-year-old Konerak by offering him cash if he posed for naked photographs. In the apartment, Dahmer doped him, brutally beat him, and later took pictures of his cold, lifeless body. Dahmer left his apartment to get some beer, and then Konerak managed to flee from his apartment and was seen by Glenda Cleveland outside. She called the cops. But the police did nothing and left Konerak with Jeffery, who was killed shortly after.
What Happened To The Officers That Let Jeffery Dahmer Go?
On the night of 27th May 1991, Konerak Sinthasomphone managed to flee Jeffery Dahmer’s apartment. Glenda Cleveland saw him and was concerned after looking at his bruised and naked state. She phoned the cops, John Balcerzak and Joseph Gabrish, who refused to listen to her concerns related to the boy, including that Konerak was a teenager who had just escaped Jeffery Dahmer’s house.
Jeffery referred to Konrerack by different names, he was also trying to physically take control of Konerak’s body and also that Konerak was doped, bruised, and sexually mutilated. The two policemen, Joseph and John, refused everything and even warned Glenda that they would arrest her, and they let Jeffery go.
Both the cops failed to identify Konerak Sinthasomphone’s real age and gave Konerak Sinthasomphone back to Jeffery Dahmer. Shortly after, the Laotian boy was killed by the monster. After years when Jeffery was finally caught and arrested, both the cops’ Joseph and John, were questioned hard about their doings. After the investigation, both of them were fired from the police department.
But after 3 years, Joseph Gabrish and John Balcerzak were recalled into the department, and to rub salt in the wound, both of them were awarded 55,000 dollars, as per Decider. But hold on, it gets even worse from there. Balcerzak was elected as the Milwaukee Police Association’s president and served from 2005 to 2009. Finally, in 2017 he retired from the police department.
Why did the cops return Konerak Sinthasomphone back to Jeffery?
On 27th May, when Glenda found the Konerak Sinthasomphone outside Dahmer’s house quickly called the cops looking at his serious state, and he was just a teenager. When the cops arrived, they refused to believe Glenda and were not suspicious enough to analyze the situation. Although the cops questioned Jeffery, he answered all the questions calmly, including providing officer Balcerzak with all the information he needed.
Jeffery easily persuaded the cops and made them believe that Konerak Sinthasomphone was 19 and his name was John Mung, who was his house guest. John had too much to drink, as told in the Netflix show. Balcerzak asked the questions multiple times to check if Jeffery was lying, but Dahmer answered all the questions in the same manner.
On the other hand, Joseph Gabrish asked multiple questions to Konerak Sinthasomphone, but he was unable to respond to him. A few moments later, Richard Porubcan arrived at the scene as a backup to John Balcerzak and Joseph Gabrish.
All three cops took Konerak back to Jeffery’s home while questioning them. Joseph and Richard had to carry Konerak Sinthasomphone inside the home. Inside the apartment, the cops found no evidence of physical assault, they found half-nude photos of Konerak, but Jeffery again convinced them they were in a relationship. The cops believed that everything was okay and left the house, and Konerak Sinthasomphone was murdered just 30 minutes after their departure.
