Between 1978 and 1991, serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer killed 17 boys and men and physically assaulted many more. His neighbor, American lady Glenda Cleveland, was the first to denounce him to the authorities.
In July 1991, he was taken into custody. In 1992, a court found him guilty on all counts of first-degree murder and sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Unfortunately, he met his end at the hands of a fellow convict while serving his time.
In July of 1991, the law finally caught up with him. Multiple counts of first-degree murder were upheld at his 1992 trial, and he was found guilty. Unfortunately, he met his end at a fellow prisoner’s hands while doing his time.
Who is Glenda Cleveland’s Daughter?
Cleveland’s marital status is unclear, but she undoubtedly had a daughter called Sandra Smith, who supposedly told her mother that she witnessed a nude and bloodied kid fleeing away from Jeffrey’s residence.
She and her daughter had resided in the Oxford Apartments, where serial murderer Jeffrey Dahmer also once lived.
Jeffrey Dahmer was Reported to the Police by Glenda Cleveland
After her daughter and niece allegedly informed her about a bleeding nude youngster they saw running from their neighbor Jeffrey’s house in May 1991, Cleveland reportedly made many calls to the police because she thought Jeffrey was a suspect.
When confronted by Jeffrey, who claimed that the boy, later identified as 14-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone, was his 17-year-old boyfriend who was drunk at the time he ran from his house and that they had some personal dispute, the police, after repeatedly calling, finally arrived at the apartment but allegedly did not find anything suspicious.
She previously told her landlord about strange noises and odors emanating from his flat, so it wasn’t the first time she had been wary of him.
Cleveland attempted to get in touch with the police and even the FBI when Sinthasomphone vanished, and the news of his absence was reported in publications but in vain.
By doing this, the murderer could still escape capture for two months, during which time he killed five other people until being apprehended in July 1991. Later, her role was recognized by the authorities, and Mayor John Norquist, the County Board, and the Common Council all gave her awards.
