On Saturday, May 19, representatives from the Paris version of "60 Minutes" will come to Milwaukee to report on the Jeffrey Dahmer walking tours in the Walker's Point neighborhood.
The controversial, hour-long tours began in March and take place mostly on 2nd Street. The tour highlights buildings which once housed gay bars where Dahmer met seven of the 17 men he brutally murdered. The tour includes the victims' names, details of the sexual activity they had with Dahmer, how they were killed and what Dahmer did with their bodies post-mortem.
"It's wonderful when Milwaukee gains international media attention," says Amanda Morden, tour organizer.
Personally, I am still not sure what to think about these tours. The Dahmer murders are a part of Milwaukee's history, as much as I wish they weren't, but they are appalling to some of the victims' family members who are still grieving.
I just know I don't need to go on one.
