If you are still reading this post, that means you’ve assessed yourself on the Dahmer Scale, and we can talk about these newspaper articles that were mailed to me in 1992.

I’ve posted each whole clipping, then broken them into magnified columns for easier reading. An Associated Press article is linked at the end.

The main art of this story was very washed out. I had to futz with filters and other trial-and-error Photoshop sorcery to achieve a tinted contrast that’s good enough for my purposes. The newsprint scans were digitally sharpened.
