Donald Pee Wee Gaskins Part1

About this episode

Donald “Pee Wee” Gaskins was a serial killer from Florence, South Carolina. If his confessions are true, he murdered 80-100 people throughout his lifetime. Reports vary about his childhood but, according to Gaskins, it was a pretty rough one. He started his life of crime at the age of 11 and went on to kidnap, rape, torture, and murder.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the infamous serial killer Pee Wee Gaskins. Gaskins used his nickname and his unassuming stature to his advantage. People underestimated him his entire life, which allowed him to hide his true nature- that of a sadistic killer. In Part 1 of 2 episodes on Gaskins, we’ll discuss his childhood, his life of crime before he became a killer, his first murder, and what Pee Wee called his “coastal kills.”
