Anthony Lee Sears was 24 when he disappeared from Milwaukee after being last seen at home on the morning of March 25, 1989. A friend reported him missing on March 29. Federal records list his birth date as January 28, 1965.

Investigative and court records place Sears with Jeffrey Dahmer on the evening of March 25; prosecutors alleged Dahmer killed Sears at his grandmother’s West Allis address, 2357 South 57th Street, on or about March 26, 1989. Dahmer later admitted he drugged Sears, killed him, and dismembered his body. Portions of Sears’ remains, including his skull, were recovered after Dahmer’s arrest; Sears was identified by dental records and his parents were notified on July 26, 1991.

When Milwaukee County prosecutors amended charges, Sears’ killing was listed as Count One alleging first-degree intentional homicide. Dahmer later pleaded guilty in Wisconsin court, the jury found him legally responsible, and he received 15 consecutive life terms that included Sears’ conviction.

Did anyone who knew Anthony in Milwaukee or West Allis around 1989 notice his disappearance or have details that were not publicly reported?
