The Dahmer Files

Raymond Smith

Within one week of his moving into his new apartment, Dahmer had killed his sixth victim, Raymond Smith.

Smith was a 32-year-old male prostitute whom Dahmer lured to apartment 213 with the promise of $50 for sex.

Inside the apartment, he gave Smith a drink laced with seven sleeping pills, then manually strangled him.

The following day, Dahmer purchased a Polaroid camera with which he took several pictures of Smith's body and suggestive positions before dismembering him in the bathroom.

He boiled the legs, arms, and pelvis in a steel kettle with Soilax, which allowed him to rinse the bones in his sink.

Dahmer dissolved the remainder of Smith's skeleton excluding the skull in a container filled with acid. He later spray painted Smith's skull, which he placed alongside the skull of Sears upon a black towel inside a metal filing cabinet.
