The man who escaped Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment leading to his capture was never able to recover from the aftermath.
“He could never get his life together again after that. He abused drugs and drank alcohol excessively. He had no home. He just drifted from place to place,” the lawyer said of Edwards, whose current whereabouts are unknown. “I don’t know how or what he could have done to put things back together again."portrays Dahmer while Shaun J. Brown appears as Edwards as the two reenact what happened that night. Though, what is seen onscreen doesn’t capture just how horrifying it was for the survivor.
According to Ksicinski, Edwards “described smelling death when he entered Dahmer’s apartment, how Dahmer put his head on his chest, so he [could] hear his heartbeat. He described how Dahmer said, ‘I’m going to have to eat your heart.’” The lawyer added that despite Edwards’ own troubled past and encounters with authorities, “Tracy didn’t ask to be a victim of Dahmer’s.”
Believing that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, the lawyer shared that Edwards “was just so averse to wanting to remember what happened to him or even talk about it,” adding that “there was a civil litigation involving some of the victims' families. He never took part in that. My personal belief is he didn’t because he’d have to remember what happened.”
