MILWAUKEE — The sister of one of Jeffrey Dahmer's 17 victims joined others in protesting a Milwaukee walking tour of the serial killer's haunts Saturday, calling out to tour organizers that they were "just as evil" as Dahmer himself.

The new walking tour of places where Dahmer trolled for victims drew attention this week after criticism prompted online deal-maker Groupon to take down a promotion for discounted tickets. But Bam Media said it would not cancel what it calls a legitimate exploration of criminal history.

Tour guide Nicholas Vollmann wasn't dissuaded. He led the group up and down the street for about an hour, stopping at buildings that used to house the gay bars where Dahmer cruised for his victims. Reading from notecards, he named the victims whom Dahmer met at each place, detailed their sexual activity and described how Dahmer killed and disposed of the victims.

Maybe she or a friend ought to show up at the place her sister was murdered or met by the murderer and picket it while the tour is visiting. Tell that tour off in no uncertain terms, that its voyeuristic eyes are not welcome.
Kansas City had its own combination of Jeffery Dahmer and John Wayne Gacey, Bob Burdella.
After Burdella’s death, a local philanthropist, Del Dunmeyer, bought the property, demolished it, and split the property in two, giving it to the neighbors on either side to ensure no house would ever stand on that lot again.

This type of thing has gone on for years.
Every city has a grizzly murderer and most have stories to tell from them. It’s not my sort of thing but it’s like the Jack the Ripper tours in London. Some people like them.
When Dahmer's stuff was being auctioned off after he was convicted, some entrepreneurs bought the kitchen items - the stuff used for cooking the victims - intending to base a serial killer museum around them.
The relatives of the victims complained, and they were able to purchase the stuff at a premium, of course, for destruction.
