What Happened To The Milwaukee Police Who Returned Konerak Sinthasomphone To Jeffrey Dahmer
July 22, 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested after Tracy Edwards managed to escape from his apartment. After the investigation into the Dahmer murders, they found that Balcerzak and Gabrish also failed to solve the case on their own. They did not search any of his previous residences for evidence or take any other investigative steps regarding previous murders, which will be shown in the file that Dahmer was a recorded sex offender, including molesting Sinthasomphone’s older brother, Somsack Sinthasomphone, in 1988.
Dahmer admitted if the Milwaukee police had searched his apartment at the time, they would have found the body of his other victim in his bedroom. Instead, they passed their file off to the Milwaukee County district attorney for investigation and prosecution when they brought Dahmer in for questioning.
This decision has led some critics to label this case an example of systemic corruption in law enforcement agencies; they faced criticisms, and it appears that someone high up in the Milwaukee PD is responsible for allowing Dahmer and his minor victim to escape when he was eventually apprehended. After an inquiry, the two police officers, Balcerzak and Gabrish, were terminated. But three years later, they were given their positions again. To make matters worse, they received back pay awards totaling $55,000, according to Decider.

Balcerzak justified their conduct that terrible night, stating, “At the time, with the knowledge we had — to this day, I think we did the right thing, the best that we could,” as stated in an Associated Press account from 1991. In the same article, Gabrish said they believed Dahmer’s account since he prepared to collaborate with the police. “I wish there had been some additional informational piece or proof accessible to us,” he said.
