A Milwaukee city official credits Netflix’s new Jeffrey Dahmer series for inspiring unprecedented calls for a memorial in honor of the serial killer’s victims.
Jeff Fleming, the communications director for Mayor Cavalier Johnson, says the release of Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has led to “a number of calls” from citizens to the mayor’s office asking for some type of tribute for the 17 men and boys that Dahmer killed between 1978 and 1991.
“I think that the current dramatic Dahmer television show has spawned interest [in a memorial],” Fleming told The Daily Beast. “I don’t know that there was interest that was publicly raised prior to that.”
