Crime Scene Summary: This scene takes place in Jeffery’s apartment and where he drilled Konerak Sinthasomphone and injected acid into the skull. This also shows another part of the scene where Konerak Sinthasomphone doesn't see because of the drugs that Jeffery put on his drink before he could even notice anything about what Jeffery's hiding. As you can see from the kitchen on the right, four heads on the table represent the victims that he has killed and what the investigators have found. The other body parts that are on the fridge would be where the other victims would be. Now to the scene on the left where the person that's standing would be Jeffery Dahmer holding onto a drill to make a hole in the person laying on the bed(aka Konerak Sinthasomphone’s head).
