Man who escaped Jeffrey Dahmer arrested over fight death
MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - A man who narrowly escaped Jeffrey Dahmer and helped end the serial killer's murder and sexual assault spree two decades ago faced a possible homicide charge of his own on Thursday in Wisconsin.
Tracy Edwards, 52 and homeless, was arrested on Tuesday after a fight that led to a man falling into the Milwaukee River and dying. The Milwaukee County District Attorney's office said it was reviewing the evidence with a view to a possible homicide charge.
No cannibalism, body-parts collection, or uncomfortably-textured lampshades were involved, however. As for Edwards' involvement in the Dahmer case:
…Twenty years ago this month, Milwaukee police found Edwards, half naked and partially handcuffed, in the street near Dahmer's apartment. Edwards told police he had just escaped Dahmer's apartment and led them back there.
Police arrested Dahmer that evening after finding body parts in his refrigerator and human remains throughout his apartment.
Too bad that was twenty years ago. If that happened today, Edwards would be the star of his own reality TV show within six months, tops. Sure, the sudden fame and fortune would probably just exacerbate whatever factors cause him to be homeless, but still. I’m sure he could at least swing one date with a Kardashian.
