I've stared into eyes of serial killers & seen the face of evil – why cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer is the worst I ever met

Speaking to The Sun, Nancy, who has interviewed other murderers and criminals in her illustrious career, explained what made Dahmer the most chilling of all to speak to. She said: "My first impression of Dahmer was how normal he appeared. "It makes you think that anybody could be capable of crimes like this. "If he had acted like a maniac, I would have been more relieved." She said Dahmer was "not charming", but at the same time, "you wouldn't have picked him out of a crowd". Although she doesn't know exactly why Dahmer agreed to an interview with him, she believes one reason was simply that he was "lonely" and "wanted to talk". Getting an interview with Dahmer was no easy task. It took more than a year and a half to secure the exclusive, building a relationship with the murderer and his family.

He was so twisted. "The only thing that is fair is the truth. I'm not there to prosecute him, but by telling the truth, people realise what evil was there, and the intentionality of it." She added: "I've interviewed other serial killers, and he wasn't like any of them." Nancy recalled an interview with Joel Rifkin, who murdered between nine and 17 women between 1989 and 1993.

I had no sympathy whatsoever." Throughout their interview, which resurfaced in the wake of the Netflix limited series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the killer never lets the mask slip, maintaining a polite, almost shy facade throughout.

"There are crimes of passion and crimes of revenge, but this was the intentional destruction of human life. "You ask, how could anybody be this way?" In the aftermath of her bombshell interview, Nancy said Dahmer and his family were furious with her. Dahmer's parents even complained to Nancy: "You've made him look like a monster!" But as Nancy responded, Dahmer "made himself look like a monster". She added: "I don't want a criminal to be pleased with their portrayal." Today, Nancy is CEO of Glass Entertainment Group and has more than 22 TV shows and podcasts currently in production in the US. In the years since she has spoken further to Dahmer's family. "They are still unhappy with the interview," she said, "but they've come to terms with who he is." Just a year after the interview aired, Dahmer was killed in prison by a fellow inmate in Wisconsin - where he was serving 16 life sentences for his vile murders. Dahmer's chilling spree Dahmer is known to have murdered 17 times, with many of his victims being gay and from an ethnic minority background. His first victim was 18-year-old Steven Hicks, who he killed in June 1978 after luring him back to his house for drinks. Steven was strangled with a dumbbell before Dahmer dissolved his body in acid and crushed his bones with a sledgehammer. It wasn't until November 1987 that the killer struck again, when he killed 24-year-old Steven Tuomi, who he had met at a gay bar. Three months later, in January 1988, Dahmer murdered 14-year-old James Doxtator, who had run away from home just two days before he met his killer. The serial killer was now on a streak, murdering 22-year-old Richard Guerrero in March 1988, and 24-year-old Anthony Sears one year later - whose head and genitals Dahmer kept as 'trophies'. After being imprisoned for a year for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old, the killer struck as soon as he was out, murdering 32-year-old sex worker Raymond Smith in May 1990. In June 1990, Dahmer murdered 27-year-old Edward Smith, an acquaintance of his, before stashing his body parts in his freezer. Then in September 1990, he struck twice, killing Ernest Miller and David Thomas, both aged 22. The following year, in February 1991, Dahmer offered money to 17-year-old Curtis Straughter to post nude, only to drug, strangle and cannibalize him. In April 1991, Dahmer killed 19-year-old Errol Lindsey, after drilling a hole in his head and pouring acid into his brain. May 1991 saw two more killings - Anthony Hughes, 31, and Konerak Sinthasomphone, 14 - with Dahmer repeating his drilling 'experiment' on Konerak. Over June and July 1991, Dahmer murdered Matthew Turner, 20, Jeremiah Weinburger, 23, Oliver Lacy 24, and Joseph Bradehoft, 25. But his luck ran out on July 22 of that year, when 32-year-old Tracy Edwards - who had been lured to his house - managed to escape and alert police.
