Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Netflix’s latest limited series, emphasizes his long-forgotten victims by narrating their life stories from their own perspectives, in addition to focusing on the horrific atrocities committed by famous American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
Tony Hughes, a Jeffrey victim who is deaf and nonverbal, has now been given the opportunity to “share” his experience.
Anthony “Tony” Hughes was born on August 26, 1959, according to FBI records.
According to The Sun, as a toddler, he experienced medical side effects that led him to permanently lose his hearing. He also appeared to be deaf.
Tony obtained his diploma from the Wisconsin School for the Deaf, according to Gallaudet University. Tony’s mother, Shirley Hughes, told The Associated Press that her son was “outgoing, humorous, joyful” and “could easily make friends.”
Anthony Hughes met serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in a gay nightclub in Milwaukee in May 1991. Dahmer was a regular who used to seduce his victims with sex and sexual favours.
According to reports, Hughes, who was 31 at the time, agreed to escort Dahmer home. Dahmer is thought to have suggested a naked photo shoot via written request. Once inside, Dahmer poisoned him and strangled him to death. Dahmer’s body was allegedly dissolved with acid, leaving only his skull.
According to stories, the two met in a gay club where Tony engaged people by writing on a notebook. He had a similar conversation with his ultimate assassin, Jeffrey Dahmer. Tony was in Madison visiting relatives. “On May 24, 1991, I went to a homosexual bar in Milwaukee to dance.
According to the most recent Associated Press news reports, Jeffrey Dahmer drugged, sedated, drove him home, decapitated him, and kept his head. While some reports suggest that Tony Hughes worked for Jeffrey Dahmer prior to becoming the deaf victim, others allege that he was in a relationship with the serial killer before being murdered by him.
How was Tony introduced to Jeffrey Dahmer?
According to reports, Hughes was interacting with patrons at the LGBT pub where the two first met by writing on a notepad. He had used the same method of communication to talk to his final killer, Jeffrey Dahmer.
Hughes was in Madison visiting relatives when “On May 24, 1991, they went dancing at a gay bar in Milwaukee. He was picked up by Jeffrey Dahmer, taken home, drugged, his corpse was mutilated, and only his skull was preserved “according to The Associated Press’s most recent news reports.
Tony Hughes and Jeffrey Dahmer were they friends?
It’s unclear how much of the episode is based on reality and how much has been fiction as it explains how the two became attracted to one another and even has Dahmer visiting some of Hughes’ picture shoots.
Hughes’ mother informed The Associated Press that her son had “started a new job two weeks earlier but never got his first paycheck,” and that she was unable to get in touch with the buddy because she only knew the guy’s first name, Jeffrey. This suggests that Hughes may have been working for Dahmer.
Dahmer’s 12th victim was Tony.
According to History, Dahmer later admitted to killing Hughes and was given 15 consecutive life terms in 1992 for Tony’s murder as well as the deaths of 14 other people. Between 1978 and 1991, Jeffrey killed a total of 17 men and teenagers. Numerous victims of Dahmer were people of race.
