In a shocking revelation, Dr. Mike Kukral, a former classmate of notorious cannibal serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, disclosed that he learned about Dahmer's horrifying crimes while riding a train in Europe. Kukral, now a professor emeritus at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, recalled his disbelief upon seeing a newspaper article featuring Dahmer's family home in Bath, along with a photo of the house. Having known Dahmer from their junior and senior high school years in the 1970s, Kukral was stunned to learn that his former classmate was involved in such heinous crimes.

Kukral described his initial assumption that it was Dahmer's father who had committed the murders. However, as he read further, he was shocked to discover that it was, in fact, Jeffrey Dahmer himself. Stranded on the train for hours with no one to talk to, Kukral grappled with the realization of what Dahmer had become and pondered the motivations behind his actions.

Reflecting on the incomprehensibility of Dahmer's crimes, Kukral expressed his bewilderment at the fact that he had known Dahmer as a teenager. He questioned how anyone could fathom the magnitude of Dahmer's atrocities, especially considering the shock and repulsion felt by people who had never known him personally. Kukral emphasized the heightened level of astonishment he experienced, having attended school with Dahmer.

Dahmer's arrest in May 1991 by the Milwaukee Police Department brought to light the extent of his depravity. At the crime scene, investigators discovered decapitated heads and dismembered bodies. Dahmer, who had a history of sexual offenses, confessed to the rape, murder, and dismemberment of 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Additionally, his crimes involved necrophilia, cannibalism, and the preservation of body parts. During his trial, it became evident just how horrific his modus operandi truly was, leading to his conviction for 15 killings in Wisconsin. Prosecutors could not gather enough evidence to charge him with the 16th slaying, and he also pleaded guilty to the 1978 murder of a hitchhiker in Ohio.

Kukral expressed his disbelief and inability to comprehend Dahmer's actions, underscoring the impact of the crimes on the victims' families. While Dahmer's peculiarities were evident to those who knew him, Kukral insisted that nothing about his behavior indicated darkness or evil. He shared a lighthearted anecdote from their school days in which Dahmer playfully placed his head on Kukral's chest, momentarily checking if he was still alive. Kukral emphasized that at the time, such actions were seen as harmless and amusing, with no indication of the darkness that lay within Dahmer's mind.
