Personal Narrative: The Body In The Green River
July 8, 1982, I murdered my first victim. Her name was Wendy Lee Coffield. She was only 16, just a runaway, probably dropped out of school. I strangled it with it’s own clothes. I dumped the body in the Green River. Like my favored outdoor sexual spots, these were some of the locations I also dumped these objects, what I like to refer to these outcast women as. Also in the Green River was the body of Debra Lynn Bonner, 23, Marcia Faye Chapman, 31, Cynthia Jean Hinds, 17, Opal Charmaine Mills, 16, Tracy Winston, 19. Another spot I knew and enjoyed was Star Lake in south King County. Here is where some bodies were found also. These women were Gail Matthews, 23, Delores Lavern Williams, 17, Terry Renee Milligan, 16, Sandra K. Gabbert, 17, Alma

    Jeffrey Dahmer Essay

    I’d rather be talking about anything else in the world right now, but just after I graduated from high school, in June 1978, I picked up a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks, I took him home to my parents' house, where we drank beer and had sex. When he tried to leave, I killed him with a barbell by hitting his head. That night in Ohio, that was one impulsive night. Nothing’s been normal since then. It tainted my whole life. After it happened I thought I’d just try to live as normally as possible and bury it, but things like that don’t stay buried. I didn’t think it would, but it does, it tainted my whole life. I wish I hadn’t done it. At the same time of my first killing, my alcohol consumption became uncontrollable and in January 1979, I dropped out of Ohio State University after only one term due to my drunkenness. Thus, my recently remarried father insisted that I enlist in the Army, and I was sent to Germany. Though my drinking problem persisted and two years later the Army discharged me for alcoholism. Following my discharge I returned home to Ohio where I went through Hicks' decomposing remains, pulverized them with a hammer, and scattered the pieces even more widely in the woods. Later in October 1981 I was arrested for…

    Personal Narrative: Where The Sidewalk Ends

    I always keep this poem and picture in my wallet. I take it everywhere with me because it means quite a lot to me in two very different ways. One of those ways is because it holds sentimental value. When I was younger I learned to read very late in life and I was always so embarrassed of that. My father knew that I was struggling and bought me the book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. It is a book full of poems and little pictures written by Shel Silverstein. I remember opening the book to ta random page, and it was the page with this poem. I then remember my dad asking me to read it to him. I was so uncomfortable, even thought I was just going to be reading to my dad. He gave me some words of encouragement, and even thought I was not able to read…

    The Fish-Personal Narrative

    During hot and muggy evening in August, I had just casted out my lure into the pond. I waited a few moments for something to strike. Out of nowhere, it felt like a freight train had hit my line. I was nervous and anxious, for I knew I have never had a fish this huge on the other end of my pole. The line was tight and quickly swaying through the water. My heart began to race, I could feel it in my ears. I reeled faster and faster, but the fish fought harder and harder. I knew that my line couldn’t take it much more, and I absolutely could not lose this fish. I had been sweating bullets for hours with nothing to show for it. I couldn’t let this opportunity pass me by. My pole was bent nearly to 90 degrees. I felt a sudden release of tension. My heart fell, I hoped that it wasn’t true, that maybe the fish had just given up fighting. I reel in, with much less hope than moments before. As soon as my line came out of the water, I saw the culprit. The hook was gone. I had…

    Personal Narrative Essay: River Street

    River Street, where I once lived, and I remember the last time I looked back to see what the flood of Augusta, Kentucky did to my beloved neighborhood. The Flood of Augusta, Kentucky came roaring down in my neighborhood, River Street. The flood destroyed everything in its path and the next stop on its journey of destruction was my hometown, River Street. I still remember the sadness of leaving before the flood, but what I didn’t know was the heartache to come when I returned to River Street. Gazing down the street, all I could see was a desolate wasteland. Furthermore gigantic oak trees crashed, though houses, shops, and the playground, where the children used to play. In addition to the carnage done to the whole block I then surveyed the…

    My first victim was a woman—white, well dressed, probably in her early twenties. I came upon her late one evening on a deserted street in Hyde Park, a relatively affluent neighborhood in an otherwise mean, impoverished section of Chicago. As I swung onto the avenue behind her, there seemed to be a discreet, uninflammatory distance between us. Not so. She cast back a worried glance. To her, the youngish black man—a broad six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket—seemed menacingly close. After a few more quick glimpses, she picked up her pace and was soon running in earnest. Within seconds she disappeared into a cross street.…
