Scarver had concealed a metal bar that he used to beat and fatally injure Dahmer and Anderson.
[2][3] On June 1, 1990, Scarver went to the Wisconsin Conservation Corps training office and found site manager John Feyen and employee Steve Lohman present.
[6] Two years later, on the morning of November 28, 1994, Scarver was assigned to a work detail in the gymnasium with two other inmates: Jesse Anderson, convicted for murdering his wife; and Jeffrey Dahmer, a serial killer.
Scarver was assessed for mental illness and found competent to stand trial on murder charges for the two killings.
[9] He changed his "not guilty" plea to "no contest" in exchange for being transferred to a federal penitentiary, was convicted of each murder, and received two more life sentences.
[12] In 2001, federal district court judge Barbara Crabb ordered that Scarver and about three dozen other seriously mentally ill inmates be relocated from the Wisconsin facility.
[14] A district court judge dismissed the suit against several of the defendants and ruled that the actions of the remaining officials could not be considered unlawful.
[13] Scarver would later say that he had been held for 16 years in solitary confinement as a result of the murders of Dahmer and Anderson.
[15] In 2012, an agent representing Scarver announced that he was willing to write a tell-all book about the murder of Dahmer.
