Ernest Miller, aged 22, died after Jeffrey Dahmer slit his throat. He was the 14th out of 17 victims of Jeffrey Dahmer.

In Dahmer’s apartment, the police authorities discovered his skeleton. Later, Dahmer acknowledged eating his biceps.

The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, a new Netflix original series, aimed to shed awareness on Dahmer’s victims and their families. They were tragically overlooked in the uproar over the crimes he perpetrated.

How Did Jeffrey Meet Ernest Miller?

Ernest Miller, also known as Ronald Marquez Miller, age 22, Dahmer met Miller, a dance student, in front of a bookshop.

Dahmer claimed that he was particularly drawn to Miller’s physical attributes.

Less than three months after Smith was killed, Dahmer met 22-year-old Chicagoan Ernest Miller in front of a bookshop on North 27th Street.

Miller agreed to take Dahmer to his flat and let him listen to his gut and heart in return for $50. Dahmer tried to have oral s*x with Miller, and Miller answered, ‘That’ll cost you more.’

Dahmer then presented Miller with a beverage that had been laced with two sleeping pills.

What Did Dahmer Do With Ernest?

Dahmer could only give him two sleeping tablets. 

He, therefore, used the same knife he’d used to dissect his victims’ bodies to slash Miller’s carotid artery, killing him. Within minutes, Miller bled to death.

Before dismembering the naked body in his bathtub, Dahmer first posed Ernest’s body for a series of seductive Polaroid pictures.

While he tore apart the rest of the body, Dahmer spoke and kissed the severed head repeatedly.

Miller’s heart, biceps, and pieces of leg tissue were wrapped in plastic and stored in the refrigerator for later consumption by Dahmer.

He intended to keep the flesh but rinsed it off the skeleton. He boiled the remaining flesh and organs with Soilex by turning it into a jelly-like consistency.

Dahmer preserved the skeleton by soaking the bones in a mild bleach solution for 24 hours and then letting them air dry for a week on a cloth.

The severed head was initially placed in the refrigerator; then, the flesh was removed, painted, and enameled.

Dahmer revealed,  ‘Miller was subjected to two boilings after I separated the joints in his arm, leg, and joints. I believe I used four boxes of Soilex for each one, adding the upper body first and boiling it for about two hours before adding the lower body and boiling it for an additional two hours. All of the flesh was removed by the Soilex, which also transformed it into a jelly-like substance that can then be rinsed off. I then spread out the clean bones on either newspaper or fabric and let them dry for approximately a week in the bedroom after submerging them in a mild bleach solution for a day.’
