Two offenders

The two offenders I selected were Jeffery Dohmer and Aileen Wuornos. Dahmer was a serial killer and sex offender. He drugged, tortured, strangled, dismembered, ate and had sex with his victims after they were dead. To get rid of parts of the victims' body he didn't eat or want he would put in acid.
