Donald Henry Gaskins

Pee Wee Gaskins was arguably one of South Carolina’s most famous serial killers in the late 1970s. In spite of this, he was not portrayed as a cold-hearted murderer. 80 to 110 people are alleged to have been tortured and mutilated by the assassin. In 1969, he began killing hitchhikers mainly on coastal highways in the American South.

He was seen killing two young males by a gangster associate, and he testified to authorities. After being sentenced to death, his sentence was commuted to life in prison without parole. In addition to assassinating a death-row inmate, Gaskins committed a number of other murders.
