Steven Walter Tuomi was 24 and from Ontonagon, Michigan when he vanished from Milwaukee after finishing a restaurant shift on September 15, 1987. He left behind clothing, personal items, and several uncashed paychecks, which his family took as a sign his disappearance was not voluntary. His family filed a missing person report in December 1987 after three months with no word.

Years later, after Jeffrey Dahmer’s 1991 arrest, Dahmer told investigators he had killed numerous young men and identified Steven Tuomi as one of his victims. Dahmer described meeting Tuomi at a bar, taking him to the Ambassador Hotel, later finding him dead, and moving a body to his grandmother’s house to dismember and dispose of it. No remains of Tuomi were recovered, Dahmer was not formally charged in this case, and there are inconsistencies in timing between Dahmer’s account and the September 15 last-seen date.

What information might help resolve the timing discrepancy or locate Tuomi’s remains?
