But when Jeffrey was 18, he and Joyce split up. In 1978, Lionel married his second wife, Shari Jordan. She became the stepmother of Jeffrey and David Dahmer.

Lionel worked as a writer after getting his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin in 1959 and his Master of Science from Marquette University in 1962. Lionel was in school most of Jeffrey’s childhood, so he missed a lot of his son’s growth.
