Matt Turner was 20 years old and was living in Milwaukee at the time of his disappearance. On June 30, 1991, Turner encountered Dahmer at a Milwaukee bus station. Dahmer offered him money to accompany him to his apartment and pose for photographs. Turner accepted and went with Dahmer to his apartment at 924 North 25th Street.

The murder occurred inside Dahmer's Milwaukee apartment. Dahmer drugged Turner before strangling him. He subsequently dismembered the body and disposed of the remains. Evidence relating to Turner was later recovered from the apartment during the investigation following Dahmer's arrest.

Turner's disappearance was not connected to Dahmer at the time. After Dahmer was arrested on July 22, 1991, investigators searched his apartment and recovered extensive evidence of his murders, including human remains and photographs. Dahmer identified Turner as one of his victims and described the circumstances surrounding his murder. Investigators subsequently established Turner's identity from the evidence recovered at the apartment.

Jeffrey Dahmer was convicted of Matt Turner's murder and received a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Turner's remains were recovered from Dahmer's apartment following his arrest.

Matt Turner was Dahmer's fourteenth known victim and was murdered during the final month of his killing spree, when his murders were occurring at an exceptionally rapid rate.
