Then Dahmer dismembered Hick's body and placed the parts in plastic bags. He buried the parts in the woods behind his house.
Victim 2 - Steven Toumi (September 1987)
Dahmer claimed he met Toumi in a gay bar. He states that they left the bar together, and went to a motel. He said they got drunk, passed out, and he found Toumi dead in the morning. After finding Toumi dead, he transported the corpse to his grandmother's basement, where he engaged in sexual acts with the corpse before dismembering it and disposing of it in the rubbish.
Victim 5- Anthony Sears (May 26, 1991)

Victim 13- The 14 Laotian Boy (May 26, 1991)
Police received a report that there was a boy running naked in the street. Police arrived on the scene, but Dahmer told them the boy was his 19 year old lover. Police believed Dahmer, and escorted the two home, where Dahmer strangled the boy and followed up the murder in his usual way. This teen was the younger brother of the boy Dahmer molested in 1988. And if the police had done a basic investigation, they would have victim 12 & enough pornographic material to secure Dahmer's arrest.
