What was in the sandwich that Jeffrey Dahmer gave Glenda Cleveland?
NETFLIX'S new series based on the crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer has left viewers all asking the same question - what was in the sandwich?
Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as the ''Milwaukee Cannibal'', is seen handing the snack to his neighbour Glenda Cleveland.
Did Jeffrey Dahmer give Glenda Cleveland a sandwich?
In Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, we see Evan Peters take on the role of Jeffrey Dahmer - the man who murdered and dismembered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991 in the US.
In one scene, Dahmer hand his neighbour Glenda a sandwich, which she turns down.
But, as with all dramatisations, not everything we see on screen is exactly as it happened.
Glenda in fact did not live in the same apartment building as the killer.
In reality, Cleveland lived in the building next door, and according to the there was never any confirmation that she had ever met Dahmer.

However, the media outlet instead speculates that Cleveland’s character was combined with that of another neighbour named Pamela Bass.
And interestingly, Bass was the one who claimed Dahmer made sandwiches for others in the building in real life - meaning there may be some element of truth in the dramatised storyline.
What was in the sandwich?
As viewers watched the scene, they quickly took to social media to speculate the contents of what they believed to be a grisly snack and they all assumed the same thing - that the sandwich was made using human remains.
This hints at the real Dahmer's confession of eating some of the organs of his dead victims.
Speaking in 2013 documentary The Jeffrey Dahmer Files, Dahmer's neighbour Bass spoke about her worst fear after being given the sandwich by the man she described as appearing to be friendly and sharing.
In the documentary, she said: “I have probably eaten someone's body part.''
