I don't know about Oates but the business about Dahmer
drilling holes into his victims to create zombies is correct.
His basic motivation was that he wanted to keep these guys -
or more precisely, their bodies - around. Like the British
necrophile, Dennis Nielsen, the catalyst for the murder of
these young men was when they expressed an intention to go
home. Ironically, in Dahmer's case at least, one or two of
his victims were genuinely attracted to him & would've
returned of their own accord.
