Edward Warren Smith, known to friends as Eddie and in his neighborhood as Sheik, disappeared from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the summer of 1990 at age 27. He was last seen leaving The Phoenix Bar on the evening of June 14, 1990, and friends later reported last seeing him with Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer at a birthday party on June 22, 1990, after which Eddie vanished. He was six feet tall, about 165 pounds, Black, with black hair and brown eyes.

After a missing-person report by his family later that summer, the initial inquiry produced few leads. Following Jeffrey Dahmer’s 1991 arrest and confession, Dahmer named Edward Warren Smith among the men he killed, saying he had strangled him; investigators believe the remains were destroyed and none were recovered. The confession closed the case as a homicide but left the family without a body or a grave.

Did anyone who knew Eddie or saw him in Milwaukee in June 1990 have information that wasn’t shared with investigators?
