A Fishing Knife





On April 12, 1992, the Andersons went for a movie and dinner at a T.G.I Friday in Milwaukee.

After dinner, Jesse viciously stabbed Barbara in the face and head, before stabbing himself four times in the chest.

Barbara went into a coma and tragically died from her injuries two days later. Prosecutors argued that Mr. Anderson, a 35-year-old landscaping contractor from the well-to-do suburb of Cedarburg, killed his wife with 21 stab wounds and stabbed himself three times in the chest to divert suspicion.

Anderson was charged and found guilty of murder. On September 29, he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole until 2052.

His death: On the morning of November 28, Jesse Anderson, Jeffrey Dahmer, and fellow inmate and murderer Christopher Scarver were led to clean bathrooms in the prison’s gymnasium by correction officers, who left them unattended. According to Scarver, Dahmer and Anderson poked him in the back and laughed. Later, Scarver grabbed a steel bar from weight-lifting equipment, confronted Dahmer with a newspaper article detailing his crimes, and asked him “if he did those things”. At that point, he brutally bludegoned him in the head. Later, he did the same thing with Anderson. Dahmer died of massive head injuries the very same day, while Anderson was transferred in very serious condition from the Divine Savior Hospital of Portage to the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, in Madison. Just like his wife, he died after two days on life support, on the morning of November 30. In a 2015.
