He told the publication, "We had a lady stop at the end of the driveway, take off her panties and throw them in the yard….I had to go out there with a pair of tongs to pick up this woman's granny panties,"

He added that the lady seemed to be in her early twenties, and despite not being allowed into the premises, she kept chanting, "I love you, Lionel."

Lionel's property currently has a "No Trespassing" to deter other Dahmer-obsessed fanatics. However, this is yet to stop such fans from trooping to the area.

The caretaker also described how a hostile male who seemed to be under the influence of a drug substance also came to the property looking for Lionel.

He said: "About two weeks ago, we had a guy pull up in a nice-looking car right in the middle of the driveway, about 20 or 30 yards from the front door. I came out, and he was acting erratic and violent, saying he wanted to see Lionel. He was a big guy and was acting very hostile."

Jeb went on to say that the trespasser started yelling curses at him and began acting crazier. At that point, he had to act as if he was armed and threatened the trespasser that he would call the cops. In the end, the trespasser changed his mind and drove out of the area at a crazy speed.

Jeb also shared that the threat from the trespassers has made him up the security measures, including asking Lionel to stop coming out to do some yard work for exercise.

"I can't even have him in the front yard at all anymore because we're afraid of people stopping," Jeb complained to The Sun.

Earlier in his chat with the publication, he explained that the release of the Netflix show has a hand in the recent increase in crazed fans trooping to Lionel's house.

He said, "This new Dahmer show blew up really quick….Anything Dahmer related blows up. It seems like every time a movie or series comes out, that's when a lot of the crazy starts happening with the fan boys and the fan girls."

Per The Sun, Lionel is in touch with his attorneys about bringing legal action against Netflix for producing the Dahmer series without even briefly contacting him. The platform's move was claimed to have angered the octogenarian, hence the reason for considering suing.

The Ryan Murphy-helmed series had its premiere on September 21, 2022, and is currently the streaming giants' second-most watched English-language series of all time, behind only Stranger Things in popularity.

Between 1978 and 1991, Jeffrey killed and mutilated 17 people, all male, in Ohio and Wisconsin. Many of his horrifying killings entailed cannibalism, necrophilia, and the storage of victims' body parts.

He was given 15 life sentences for his crimes, which he served in a Wisconsin jail. In 1994, Christopher Scarver, a fellow prisoner who is now 53 years old, clubbed him to death.
