The sister of Jeffrey Dahmer victim has SLAMMED Netflix for their "harsh and careless" treatment of her over a sensitive issue.
“I feel like Netflix should’ve asked if we mind or how we felt about making it,” said Rita Isbell, the sister of Errol Lindsey who was slaughtered by Dahmer, about the drama series Monster.
“They didn’t ask me anything. They just did it. But I’m not money hungry, and that’s what this show is about, Netflix trying to get paid.”
Meanwhile, Alyssa Mairanz, a psychologist with Empower Your Mind Therapy, said of Netflix's dramatisation: “For people who are traumatised, what happens is you’re hearing everyone talk about it.
“It’s being advertised all over social media and TV, and so its interface can bring back a lot of dark emotions.”
Ernest Miller and Jeffrey Dahmer met in front of a bookshop on North 27th Street.
Miller was visiting his aunt in Milwaukee over Labor Day weekend.
Dahmer invited Miller back to his apartment, offering him money for sex.
Miller followed him and after the act, Dahmer drugged the 22-year-old and slit his throat.
Dahmer disturbingly kept his biceps in the freezer, painted his skull and also bleached his skeleton.
At Jeffrey Dahmer's trial, one of the uncles of a victim, Stanley Miller spoke about how there is no space for a person like Jeffrey in this world.
He said: "There is no place in a civilised society for anyone who shows no regard for life.
"I'm not for the death penalty, but you are the perfect candidate."
Ernest Miller, also known as Ronald Marquez Miller was hoping to become a professional dancer when he was murdered at 22 years old.
He spent some time working after he graduated from Milwaukee High School of the Arts at West Division.
Miller was about to start attending classes at an arts college in Chicago before his life came to an end.
His aunt, Vivian Miller spoke about his talents and his upbringing.
She said: "He was a talented dancer.
"He was singing and performing when he was young and used to sing at church."
Netflix’s insightful drama ‘Monster’, which explores the murders of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, has made the platform’s history by beating Squid Game and Bridgerton as its most-watched show.
But Richard Rushfield, a columnist for The Ankler, told Good Morning America that the programme’s violent nature is responsible for its success.
“True crime has become a huge phenomenon across the medium,’ he said. ‘I think that, in tumultuous times where people feel uneasy and a lot of anxiety about their world, watching true crime helps them sort of acclimate themselves to the worst things on earth and they become accustomed to it.
“It makes the world a little less scary.”
The sister of Dahmer victim Errol Lindsey, Rita Isbell, told Insider Sunday that Netflix never reached out to her about the programme, suggesting that was harsh and careless.
“I feel like Netflix should’ve asked if we mind or how we felt about making it,” she said. “They didn’t ask me anything. They just did it. But I’m not money hungry, and that’s what this show is about, Netflix trying to get paid.”
Netflix’s record-breaking show about mass murderer Jeffrey Dahmer is bringing back a lot of dark emotions, claims a psychologist.
Mail Online reports that Alyssa Mairanz, owner and psychologist with Empower Your Mind Therapy, said about the programme Monster: “For people who are traumatised, what happens is you’re hearing everyone talk about it.
“It’s being advertised all over social media and TV, and so its interface can bring back a lot of dark emotions.”
A neighbour of Jeffrey Dahmer has revealed a chilling story from the killer’s youth.
When Dahmer was just 15, neighbour Jim Klippel discovered a horrifying sight just yards from his home.
“About 100 yards away, there had been a large fire and 13 little fires around it,” he said.
“It looked so much like a cult worship that it scared us to death.”

The Jeffrey Dahmer Netflix show starring Evan Peters was watched for 196.2 million hours in its first full week on the streaming platform.
Reviews have been mixed, with many slamming the existence of the programme in its entirety, claiming it is explorative and could harm the families of Dahmer's victims.
Netflix has gone on a major push in the last week, releasing both a fictional retelling and a documentary.
The sister of Dahmer victim Errol Lindsey, Rita Isbell, told Insider Sunday that Netflix never reached out to her about the programme, suggesting that was harsh and careless.
“I feel like Netflix should’ve asked if we mind or how we felt about making it,” she said.
“They didn’t ask me anything. They just did it. But I’m not money hungry, and that’s what this show is about, Netflix trying to get paid.”
Jeffrey Dahmer was killed while serving in prison.
Dahmer was killed by fellow Columbia Correctional Institution inmate and convicted murderer Christopher Scarver on November 28, 1994, in Portage, Wisconsin.
On November 28, Scarver was set to work with two other inmates, one of which was the serial killer.
While cleaning the prison gymnasium toilet, Scarver removed a 20-inch metal bar from the prison weight room and brutally hit Dahmer twice around the head.
He was declared dead on the scene.
David Dahmer was the second child of Lionel and Joyce Dahmer and the younger brother to Jefferey.
David’s arrival reportedly had a negative effect on the future killer.
David, having graduated from college, would change his name and assume a new identity as he entered adulthood.
The brother of one of America’s most deadly killers will not conduct interviews and is eager to leave his brother’s crimes behind him.
David reportedly has a successful business and a family.

Evan Peters went to great lengths to accurately portray the bloodthirsty killer.
And one interview played a central role in shaping his performance.
The interview, conducted by Stone Phillips for Dateline NBC, was recorded in 1994.
On the events of Dahmer's life, Peters said: “It was so jaw-dropping that it all really happened.
“It felt important to be respectful to the victims and to the victims’ families to try to tell the story as authentically as we could.”
At the time of his arrest, police made a macabre discovery: seven skulls, two hearts, pairs of severed hands, skeletons, dismembered torsos, along with Polaroid photos of the victims, weapons (saws, knives and a drill) and acid.
The apartment was left untouched as Dahmer’s trial went on.
To prevent Dahmer’s belongings to become gruesome memorabilia, a local civic group decided to buy out the auctioned belongings including the fridge (where police found severed heads), needles, and knives.
Instead of keeping them, the head of the civic group, real estate magnate Joseph Zilber, destroyed the items, and the families of the victims compensated with the $407,225 raised during the auction.
At the time, Zilber said his aim was that “these tools of death be permanently destroyed”.
Dahmer's first murder came in 1978.
He bludgeoned hitchhiker Steven Hicks, 18, whom he lured back to his house for drinks with a dumbbell before strangling him with the dumbbell handle.
Dahmer went on to dissect Hicks' body in his basement before burying it in the garden.
He would go on to dig the body up and dissolve it in acid and crush the bones with a sledgehammer.
Chilling FBI documents obtained by The Sun, show just some of the crimes committed by the brutal serial killer.
"The remains of eleven decapitated, dismembered victims were discovered in the apartment of Jeffrey Dahmer, "writes Chief Arreola in the document dated August 12, 1991.
The document chronicles the vile pictures Dahmer would take of his victims as well as other evidence discovered as cops desperately tried to piece together the horror they uncovered in his stinking flat at the Oxford Apartments.
The new three-part series, titled Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes, is available to watch now.
But where can you see this chilling telling of Dahmer’s life?
Simply head over to Netflix to catch the horrifying show.
The serial killer lived in Apartment 213 at 924 North 25th Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While there, the serial killer committed the bulk of his crimes.
When Dahmer moved into Apartment 213 in May 1990, he brought with him the scalp and penis of his fifth victim Anthony Sears, according to FBI documents.
He would be arrested in Apartment 213, where the police would fund his gruesome collections of trophies.
Jeffery was labelled ‘The Milwaukee Cannibal’ and he got the gruesome nickname after his murderous and twisted reign of terror.
He murdered and dismembered 17 males over a 13-year period before he was apprehended by authorities.
He would keep body parts as souvenirs, including skulls and genitals.
“He frequently took photos of his victims at various stages of the murder process, so he could recollect each act afterward and relive the experience,” according to Biography.com.
After committing the grisly slayings he was arrested by Milwaukee police officers on July 22, 1991.
Dahmer would be convicted the following year and sentenced to 16 consecutive life terms in prison.
He reportedly “adjusted well to prison life, although he was initially kept apart from the general population,” according to Biography.com.
“He eventually convinced authorities to allow him to integrate more fully with other inmates.”
Dahmer found religion in the Wisconsin prison and was given permission to be baptized by a local pastor.
Viewers have been left horrified by the new series with many describing it as “gruesome”.
One viewer said: “Conversations with a killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes gives me the shivers.”
A second added: “Horrifying, Gruesome, Shocking.”
Rolf Mueller was one of the first cops to enter Dahmer's gruesome home after one of the killer's victims managed to escape and flag down two police officers.
Mueller found around 80 horrifying Polaroids of his victims in the bedside table.
After making the gruesome discovery, he realised the Polaroids he was holding had been photographed in the same apartment where they were standing.
Showing his partner, Mueller said: ''These are for real.''
Mueller said he was overpowered by the stench of the fly-infested apartment.
According to the Washington Post, he said at the time: "You think you've seen it all out here, and then something like this happens."
Jeffrey suffered a similar fate to his victims as he was killed by fellow Columbia Correctional Institution inmate Christopher Scarver on November 28, 1994.
Scarver also beat inmate Jesse Anderson to death during the assault.
“He crossed the line with some people – prisoners, prison staff,” Scarver told the New York Post in 2015, referring to Dahmer.
“Some people who are in prison are repentant – but he was not one of them.”
Scarver told the newspaper that Dahmer would make severed limbs out of prison food to provoke other inmates.
Dahmer would also add packets of ketchup to use as blood, he said.
He added that “I saw heated interactions between [Dahmer] and other prisoners from time to time.”
Church leader Roy Ratcliff, who baptised Jeffrey Dahmer, revealed the killer left him surprised during his first visit.
In an exclusive interview, Roy told The Sun Online: "I was impressed about how courteous he was and how willing he was to be co-operative.
“He was considerate, which I found surprising. Given that he had killed people I thought he would be a rougher person but he was gentle as far as I could see.
“For a moment there I’m thinking I’m in a room all by myself with a man who’s murdered so many people and I was a little apprehensive. I was thinking ‘what’s going on here’.
“Then we started talking about how he wanted to be baptised and after that I forgot about being apprehensive.”
When Wendy Patrickus first went in to see Dahmer, he was sat at the corner of the table and she was “incredibly nervous” because she felt the investigation was “well over her head”.
She felt like Clarice in the Silence of The Lambs as Dahmer was “very polite” which took her by surprise.
Dahmer said that it was “something he had buried in himself for years” during his first conversation with Wendy.
