Today marks 42 years since the tragic murder of Steven Mark Hicks.
On June 18th 1978, Jeffrey Dahmer picked up 18-year-old Steven Hicks who was hitchhicking his way home from a concert in Chippewa Lake Park. On that day, Dahmer had been home alone due to the recent divorce of his parents. Years prior, Dahmer had been having fantasies of picking up a hitchhiker. That day, he saw Hicks shirtless, waiting for somebody to pick him up. Dahmer offered Hicks alcohol and pot in order to try and lure him back to his house. Hicks obliged and they went back to Dahmer’s home.
The pair drank for a while and when Hicks mentioned that he should get home before it got too dark, Dahmer got hold of a 10lb barbell, and out of the anxiety and frustration he felt over him leaving, he struck Hicks over the head twice with the barbell. He then strangled him to death with it.
