Rita's Personal Tale

Rita's Personal Tale

In this episode, Celene Beth sits down with Rita Isbell, sister of Errol Lindsay, one of Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims. Rita’s emotional courtroom statement in 1992 became a pivotal moment in the trial, but for decades, the media reduced her identity to that single instance of grief and anger.


Rita opens up about how her portrayal, particularly in Ryan Murphy's Dahmer series, retraumatized her, as the show dramatized her personal pain without consent or respect for her full story. Despite these challenges, Rita shares how she has worked through her grief and found healing, focusing on the beauty of nature, music, cooking, and travel to help her move forward.


Her journey is one of resilience, showing that while trauma shaped her past, it has also fueled her growth into a woman who embraces life’s joys and finds peace along the way.
