Saturday 24 September 2022 09:26 PM Family of Jeffrey Dahmer's victim says they're 'retraumatized' by Netflix's ... trends now
The family of one of Jeffrey Dahmer's victims said they're 'retraumatized' by Netflix's reenactment of the 'emotional' courtroom breakdown and claimed the streaming giant never 'notified' them.
Eric Thulhu, 33, of Chicago, took to Twitter to denounce Netflix's new series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, claiming his family is 'pissed' about it.
Thulhu's cousin, Errol Lindsey, was 19 when he disappeared from a Milwaukee mall and would become Dahmer's 11th known victim. He was reportedly lured to Dahmer's apartment to pose for nude photos.
'I’m not telling anyone what to watch, I know true crime media is huge [right now], but if you’re actually curious about the victims, my family (the Isbell’s) are pissed about this show,' Thulhu wrote on Twitter.
'It’s retraumatizing over and over again, and for what? How many movies/shows/documentaries do we need?'

Netflix's newest release debuted on Wednesday and the streaming giant - known for its true crime documentaries - is also releasing Conversations With a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes on October 7.
Just a few years prior, the gruesome story was re-popularized when My Friend Dahmer - starring former Disney actor Ross Lynch - was released in 2017.
A quick Google search also displays a wide variety of other documentaries that have been released since the sensational case hit courtrooms.
Thulhu went on to say Netflix didn't even 'notify' the family of the creation of the new hit series, because it's 'all public record, so they don’t have to notify (or pay!) anyone.'
