You only think you know this story. In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer the most notorious serial killer since Jack the Ripper seared himself into the American consciousness. To the public, Dahmer was a monster who committed unthinkable atrocities. To Derf Backderf, "Jeff" was a much more complex figure: a high school friend with whom he had shared classrooms, hallways, and car rides.
