Hazmat Officials removing a vat filled with the remains of Jeffrey Dahmer's victims.

In Dahmer's Apartment 213, investigators discovered two entire skeletons, a pair of severed hands, a mummified scalp and, in a 57-gallon drum, three dismembered torsos dissolving in an acid solution.

Around the age Dahmer killed his first victim.

Dahmer had just graduated from High School when he was left alone in the family home. Dahmer would eventually kill his first victim later that same year.

Northridge - A Ghost Mall

The Northridge mall started to die in the early 2000s recession, which saw a number of tenants pull out after their lease expirations and the mall's owner unable to find new ones outside of local small businesses. The mall eventually closed in 2003.
