TWISTED Jeffrey Dahmer took pictures as he slaughtered his victims and kept vile Polaroid photos of their dismembered bodies.
When cops finally snared the serial killer in 1991, they uncovered at least 80 chilling photos in his lair – some depicting necrophilia.
Dahmer murdered and dismembered 17 boys and men between 1978 and 1991, unnoticed by cops.
Bu one of his victims, Tracy Edwards, managed to escape and found two officers, who visited Dahmer's apartment and discovered the evidence they needed to arrest him.
As they combed through his belongings, they found around 80 Polaroid images of his victims in a bedside table drawer.
Explicit snaps showed Dahmer engaging in sex acts with the bodies of some of his dead victims, while others showed naked dismembered corpses in different poses.
