Not to throw him under the bus but he was street trade. I think most of Dahmer's victims were trade or street trade, which is how he lured them there. Although it was stated that Dahmer lured them there to take pictures both parties knew what that was code for which is to have sex in a trade off for money, food , place to live. The reason I know the witness to be street trade is because i am 100 percent gay and had sex with him on several occasions. I am sure others had figured that out already too. However, he was even more attractive than what you see in the video but currently he looks nothing like that. Life has taken a huge toll on him. What helped him survive was probably his street smarts because unbeknowgst to Dahmer he did not drink any of the spiked drink and he may have planned on robbing Dahmer himself. That last sentence is just an assumption.

I truly believe that this is one of the most important testimonies ever given. It’s one thing to go through all of that but then after you get recused and your assaulter gets charged you begin to process it. Sleepless nights, you close your eyes, Dahmer is there. Tracy Edwards is Dahmer’s only survivor. The sole survivor. He’s the only one alive who knows exactly what Dahmer turned into when he was killing all these boys and men. So there’s a victory in surviving but you can’t escape it. Tracy can’t ever leave Jeffrey’s apartment and that’s the cruelest part of it

Two policemen arrived at night, I said I knew what I was talking about, and my mother also confirmed this to the police.

This is the hero that finally took down sick and twisted Jeffrey Dahmer. *RESPECT!*

[@lillikaa713]

“After becoming the hero who helped put Dahmer behind bars, Edwards had a few run-ins with the police for drug possession, theft, property damage, failure to pay child support, and bail jumping. In 2012, Edwards was sentenced to one and a half years in prison and two years of extended supervision after pleading guilty to aiding a felon”

[@lillikaa713]

“Edwards was arrested for homicide in July 2011 after he was seen standing on a Milwaukee bridge with two other homeless men, Timothy Carr and Jonny Jordan. “A witness at a gas station across the street saw Edwards and Carr push Jordan some 20 feet into the river below and called the cops,” the outlet reported. “By the time cops arrived, Jordan had drowned.”

he was no hero, he actually had an assault charge (involving a minor) at the same time he got away from Dahmer. it is only pure luck that he got away, no heroic action on his part...

This man saved SO many lives! Can't even IMAGINE surviving this and having to face evil in court! God bless him & all the victims 🙏

[@goitbain6017]

Let's all not forget the fact that Tracy Edwards molested a 14 years old child - before he even encountered Jeffrey Dahmer and later went on to murdering a man on a bridge! How can anyone find sympathy for this monster - who is just as monstrous as Jeffrey Dahmer?

There's an article saying Tracy Edwards was suffering from the trauma even after 20 years... His attorney mentioned that his life was completely destroyed by what happened in 1991. Edwards wasn't himself after that and commited a crime, being sentenced to a year and half in prison. After him being released, his attorney lost touch with him, and his current whereabouts are unknown.

[@roberthmoorejr.7672]

So glad he survived to tell his story about this terrible ordeal. He is truly blessed to be alive. ❤

[@glasshalffull4061]

Mr. Edwards was so courageous! Not only did he face Dahmer in court, but he answered incredibly traumatizing questions regarding the attack and held his composure. Bless him.

[@ccopty]

I really disliked the attorney's way of questioning - it is very antagonistic and re-traumatisizing

[@jul30ie]

[@GlennaVan]

@@ccopty Tragically, that is what attorneys do - a sad commentary on human nature. It is their job to twist words or phrases to their own advantage with no apparent regard to the witness even when the witness is the victim. It is why children are rarely used as witnesses when the child is the victim. I testified in a hearing where I heard the four previous witnesses have their words twisted by the opposing attorney to sound the opposite of what they meant. When I testified, I was very careful to word my answers so there was no way the opposing attorney to twist what I said; she was not happy about it! Poor baby. (The person for whom I was testifying won with the judge saying my testimony determined his ruling.) In this case, the victim did an excellent job of answering in a way that his words could not be twisted to suggest a different meaning. That is not always an easy task. It was clear he was thinking to carefully word his answers to say what he meant and in a way they could not be challenged. I am certain the prosecution did all they could to prepare him for this; however, in doing so it had to be horrible for him.
