Confirmation of Tracy Edwards’ death notice is still pending, as he broke out of prison a few years back. Following the release of the recent Netflix series, “Monster-The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” there has been a growing interest in the history of the murdered victims.
Tracy Edwards is the lone individual to have escaped and survived from Jeffrey Dahmer’s victim roster. Dahmer was apprehended when Tracy managed to break free and informed the authorities.
Tracy, who assisted the authorities in apprehending Dahmer, was himself incarcerated in 2011. He was found guilty and convicted of manslaughter, according to a report from ABC News.
He was arrested for participating in an incident where an unhoused man named Jonny Jordan was pushed off a bridge by another individual. Jordan drowned at the scene when law enforcement authorities intervened.
Reports from reputable sources state that, starting in 2002, Edward was also unhoused and had to relocate from one shelter to another. He relocated frequently until his arrest.
Following the trial, Edward was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison for his involvement in Jordan’s drowning. The other man involved in Jordan’s demise, Timothy Carr, received a 4-year prison term.
According to The National Post, an additional five years of supervision was imposed on Timothy after he pleaded guilty.
Indeed, the outcome of Edward’s actions towards Jonas was starkly different from when he played a role in Dahmer’s apprehension.
Tracy Edward – How Did He Avoid Becoming a Victim of Dahmer?
Jeffrey Dahmer was a notorious serial killer who murdered 16 men and boys aged 14 to 33. Dahmer’s victims were predominantly from the African American community.
Some of his victims are still unidentified, and their bodies have never been recovered.
Tracy Edwards’ ordeal was depicted in the “Monster” series. In the 90s, Tracy was lured by Dahmer, who offered him a large sum of money to visit his apartment.
Afterwards, he was drugged and fell unconscious due to an overdose. Dahmer then proceeded with his torment. He was nude and handcuffed, seated on a chair while Dahmer gathered his torture tools.
He managed to escape from Dahmer’s apartment on July 22, 1991. When the local police arrived, they spotted Tracy running down the streets, shouting for help while still handcuffed.
He informed the police about his situation. Although the police initially believed Dahmer’s version that Tracy was his boyfriend and there had been a misunderstanding, they eventually discovered disturbing images of Dahmer’s victims. Later that day, Dahmer was arrested by the police.
Tracy Edwards – Whereabouts?
Following his conviction for Jonas’s drowning, Edward was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison by the Milwaukee County Circuit Court. He was also put under two years of supervised release.
However, there have been reports of Tracy escaping from prison. As of 2022, his current whereabouts are unknown.
According to acquaintances of Tracy, his death notice was reported due to the lack of information about his location.
