When most people's parents want to talk about their glory days, we just tune out.
We don't need to hear about how "cool" or lame they were in high school. But what if your parent attended the same high school as the serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer? Ears would certainly perk up.
That's how one daughter felt after discovering Jeffrey's photo in her mother's high school yearbook.
Back in 2021, a girl discovered that her mom was friends with Brad Pitt when she was younger. This was shared by @emmemaclendonn on TikTok.
"And that's Brad Pitt," she continued, pointing to the superstar actor sitting right next to her mom. Ugh, she's so lucky. Why couldn't our mom know someone famous?!
If only that mom could've known that Brad was able to hit it big. She could've saved his tissues and sold them on eBay!
She must be cursing that aunt for not making it work with the handsome actor and comedian!
That should go without saying. Unfortunately for one girl on TikTok, she discovered that her mom went to high school with Jeffrey Dahmer, the notorious serial killer.
Most of his victims were young, mainly black, and from the LGBTQ community. In addition to brutually murdering them, he would dismember their bodies.
So, it was completely unsettling when Brittany Cristiano discovered that her mother went to school with Jeffrey in Ohio.
His house, which is where he commited his first homicide, was only five minutes away from her mother's house in the '70s.
She also showed a photo of Jeffrey in the school's infamous National Honor Society photo. Since he snuck into the photo as a senior prank, his face was blurred out.
"That yearbook will be worth a lot to a collector," one wrote with a blush emoji. "It really is a small world we live in," another wrote. Users whose relatives also knew Dahmer shared their stories.
"My aunt's boyfriend’s friend taught Jeffery in high school," another wrote. In a follow-up video, Brittany shared more about her mother's connection to the serial killer.
According to a former classmate in the series, Jeffrey Dahmer: Mind of a Monster, Jeffrey was an awkward guy who liked to pull pranks.
