His next kill came nine years after his first, appeasing his fantasies during this period by masturbating in front of children in public and sexually assaulting men in bathhouses.

In November , Dahmer met year-old Steven Tuomi in a bar and the two checked into a hotel together. Dahmer later claimed no memory of this murder.

The police escorted Dahmer and the boy back to Dahmer's apartment, much against the protest of the women, who had witnessed Sinthasomphone fighting off Dahmer before the police had arrived. The police found Dahmer's apartment neat and other than noticing an unpleasant smell, nothing seemed amiss. They left Sinthasomphone under Dahmer's care.

Assuming he had somehow escaped from the authorities, the police stopped him.

Edwards immediately told them about his encounter with Dahmer and led them to his apartment. Dahmer opened his door to the officers and answered their questions calmly. He agreed to turn over the key to unlock Edwards's handcuffs and moved to the bedroom to get it. One of the officers went with him and as he glanced around the room, he noticed photographs of what appeared to be parts of bodies and a refrigerator full of human skulls.

They decided to place Dahmer under arrest and attempted to handcuff him, but his calm demeanor changed and he began to fight and struggle unsuccessfully to get away.
