Lionel gave minimal details, except that David had changed his name in order to protect his privacy. Shari added that David had a career and was married, with his wife expecting their second child at the time. This interview was the last time that anyone has heard information regarding David Dahmer.

Due to the seven-year age gap, Lionel Dahmer said the two "weren't as close as someone maybe that was one or two years different." He also noted that the two had different personalities: Jeffrey Dahmer being "extremely shy" and David Dahmer as "very, very ebullient and outgoing."

At 55 years old, David is allegedly still alive, though there is no public record of his new identity. According to his father and stepmother, he has a good career, a wife, and two children. Since 2004, there have been no further updates on David Dahmer.
