When Dr. Phil asked him how he took the news of Jeffrey being a murderer, Lionel said:
He stated that, in retrospect, the indicators of a killer hiding within his kid existed but were overlooked.
Lionel Dahmer regrets not being insistent enough for Jeffrey to open the mysterious wooden box
In Netflix’s true crime series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the serial killer’s grandmother shows him a wooden box that consisted of Lionel’s photos and achievements. The box was eventually taken by Jeffrey.
During the interview, Lionel recalled an incident involving the wooden box that Jeffrey used to store in his room while staying in Milwaukee when he had already begun his murder spree. He told Dr. Phil:
At the time, Lionel was adamant about opening the box because he thought it consisted of pornographic material. Reportedly, Jeffrey convinced his father to leave the situation alone for the night as he did not want to disturb his grandmother who was also in the house:
As per TMZ, Lionel told Dr. Phil that the wooden box consisted of a severed human head the whole time. Jeffrey used the time that night to replace it with pornographic magazines to show Lionel what was inside it.
Lionel also regretted not being insistent enough for Jeffrey to open the wooden box the same night as he would have found the head and might have been able to stop his son’s heinous activities.
