Police: Why was boy released to Idler? "This could have all been prevented. If they had listened Nicole Childress MILWAUKEE (AP) Police allowed a bloody, naked boy to stay with accused multiple killer Jeffrey L. Dahmer two months before; the child was found among 1 1 butchered bodies in Dahmer's apartment, witnesses said Friday. "This could have all been prevented. If they had listened that night, that little boy would still be alive and all the others wouldn't be dead," said Nicole Childress, 18, one of the women who called police May 27.

Two city policemen answered her call about a boy, disoriented and bleeding from his buttocks, running on the streets near Dahmer's apartment. Dahmer, a convicted child molester on probation, apparently convinced the officers it was a domestic dispute between two homosexuals, the women said. "We are aware of the incident, and we are reserving comment until we are able to review the actions the officers took," CapL Joseph Purpero said. Dahmer, 31, has admitted drugging, strangling and dismembering 11 found the boy dazed and staggering shortly after midnight and tried to protect him from Dahmer. But Dahmer apparently convinced police the boy was 19 and that the two lived together and had been drinking.

Smith's mother, Glenda Cleveland, later called one of the police officers to see what happened tojhe boy. "He said it was a domestic squabble between two said Cleveland, 36. "I can't believe that the police couldn't see something was very wrong." That police had contact with a serial killer two months ago is just one of the disturbing questions being asked in the wake of the carnage, discovered Monday when a 32-year-old man led police back to Dahmer's grisly' apartment from which he had escaped handcuffed. Dahmer was given a 10-month sentence although prosecutors recommended a prison term of five to six years in 1989 after his conviction of molesting a child. He lured "the youth, then 13, into his apartment by promising $50 if he posed for ally were found.

"The client has dirty clothes, is unshaven and during the interviews was yawning as if having problems staying awake," a probation agent's report obtained by The Milwaukee Journal said. "The client is in severe financial difficulty. He will lose his part the 1st of August. He talks again of suicide," the agent wrote after a July 18 meeting with Dahmer. One of Dahmer's victims, Konerak Sinthasomphone, the son of Laotian immigrants, disappeared May 26 on his way to soccer practice.

His younger brother had been molested in Dahmer's apartment in 1988. Dahmer was on probation for that crime when the killings occurred. Two women have identified Sinthasomphone from pictures as the boy who was fleeing Dahmer in May, but they were unable to convince police something was wrong. "He was struggling. He was reaching out to me for help," Ms.

Childress said. "I think about this everyday."

MILWAUKEE (AP) Jeffrey Dahmers, the suspect in 17 slayings, talked about suicide three times in recent months as he fought constant bouts of depression, according to probation records reviewed Friday.

The records portray Dahmers as a complainer, distraught over "how hard life is for him." He had money troubles, even once trying to sell a camera to his probation agent to pay bills. The records indicate Dahmers, on probation for molesting a 14-year-old boy in 1988, blamed his difficulties on alcohol, had cool relations with his father and brother and hadn't talked to his mother for five years. The records say Dahmers acknowledged he was a homosexual but did not consider that a problem. The portions of the reports made public give no hint of the macabre activities that were taking place in Dahmer's apartment, where police found the dismembered remains of 1 1 victims. However, an April 29 report said Dahmer "continues to be morbid about problems." The reports, compiled by probation officer Donna Chester from twice-monthly sessions with Dahmer, cover from March 1990, when Dahmer was placed on probation for sexual assault, to July 18, his last meeting before police arrested him early this week.

Under Wisconsin law, portions of the probation reports are public.
