Before the notorious serial killer Jeffery Dahmer ever appeared on the scene, there was Levi Boone Helm, the Kentucky Cannibal. Helm a mid-19th century American frontiersman from Kentucky, was a gunfighter who got his nickname for his “opportunistic and unrepentant proclivity for consuming human flesh”, usually in survival situations, though there are documented instances of him killing people unprovoked for their meat. By all accounts, Helm had been raised by a loving family but nevertheless, became a cannibalistic drifter. So, was Levi Boone Helm born a cannibalistic killer or was there something more sinister at play.
