Today Milwaukee police released the transcript of a 911 call made on May 27 by resident Glenda Cleveland, 37, related to the case of Jeffrey L. Dahmer.
Dahmer confessed to killing 17 people and pled insanity after police found 11 mutilated bodies in his apartment. Two months ago Mrs. Cleveland contacted police officers to report that there was a “butt-naked” young man in the middle of the street at 25th and State. Mrs. Cleveland said that the boy was very bruised and looked as though he had been beaten. She insisted that the boy needed help and informed them that he couldn’t even stand. The dispatcher speaking with Mrs. Cleveland transferred her call to the fire department and assured her that they would send an ambulance.
The transcript includes statements from the officer at the scene to the dispatcher describing, “Intoxicated Asian, naked male. Was returned to his sober boyfriend.” The tapes reveal that the officer is heard laughing as he makes the report.
Mrs. Cleveland made a follow up call 10 minutes later inquiring if the naked boy seen by her daughter and niece was certified as an adult. Mrs. Cleveland expressed concern that no information had been taken from the girls and queried whether further information “must be needed.” The officer states that the boy was only an “intoxicated boyfriend of another boyfriend.”
Mrs. Cleveland repeatedly asks for confirmation that the boy was an adult saying, “It appeared to have been a child.” The officer states multiple times that he is, “as positive as I can be,” that it wasn’t a child as it may have appeared. The boy involved was later found to be only 14-years-old and subsequently killed by Dahmer. As of one week ago, the officers involved were placed on suspension.
