Psychologists and criminology experts analyse the personality of Donald Gaskins Jr. The man, who earned the nickname `meanest man in America', boasted about his private graveyard for victims. He was put to death in 1991 after being found guilty of nine murders, but claimed to have killed over 100.

My grandpa knew him personally. He used to joke about being a killer and people just took it as that, a joke. Then they realized it wasn't a joke at all.
Was your grampa the RUclipsr #AngryGrampa (RIP) ⤵ who talks about PeeWee?

Omg! He actually knew this man?! He is lucky 🍀 to be alive.
*"truth is often said in jest"*
Sickens me to hear he raped a
2yr old "cuz daddy just couldn't resist".
Poor baby girl🎠👶💝🍼🎁
It was a 2 month old baby! Not 2 year old.
My great grandmas sister was his mom
@@wendysfast-food2016 no way. What was he like
The mind completely boggles when you think of what kind of individual could rape a baby then hit it over the head with a hatchet.....So many words, but you can never find any...
An animal. Truly disgusting.
That someone could bring politics into it more than 40 years later...
Hearing about that precious baby just rips my heart out!!! This was no human who did that. Just sickening
@angela ward Yeah true. Animals kill but only for survival...
@@beasleycourt8873 ... there are a few exceptions, but yes, most animals only kill out of necessity.
From the way they said it, I think he killed the baby with the hatchet, *then* raped her.. sick either way, but at least the baby wouldn't have felt any pain.. 😢
Gaskin was a true monster. It’s an amazing thing that Shirley his daughter is such a great person and testified helping to put her father away and keep the public safe. She absolutely loved him as you can tell from this doc but even more amazing is that Shirley became a Foster parent and has helped over 100 children of all ages/backgrounds/and color. She still does to this day teaching them to hold their heads up high and never be ashamed of who they are and to allow the world to judge them on their deeds not the deeds of their parents or situations they came from. Shirley suffered because of what her father did and because people treated her badly for being his daughter but never allowed herself to change being a good person. I think she’s an example of how to be a good person and should be applauded for her good deeds considering the road blocks she faced.
I hope you're going to say that about Aileen Wuornos.
@@sindelscat9336 why would he say that about aileen for? Aileen is a murderer the daughter never killed anyone
@@johnd6535 Because she's every bit of a monster that Gaskins is
@@sindelscat9336 he was talking about shirley gaskins the killer's daughter not the actual piece of shit murderer rapist
@@sindelscat9336 what Shirley is
He rped the baby?! He was so mad at the woman who had a baby with a black man that he had to kill her. And couldn't resist rping the little baby?? Demons walk among us, consuming the innocent.
His daughter is numb to the world and her dad's craziness.
She was raised by him...
You're an idiot. She's an incredible person that turned out pretty well despite being raised by a walking demon. She testified against her own father in trial, worked with officials throughout the entire process, and warned officers within the prison that he was planning to kill another inmate and they ignored her because they said it was impossible. We don't get to choose who our parents are, and she didn't get to choose hers either.
@Sherlock's cat you are an evil person just like them
@@balrajkrishn9922 He might be correct.
@@jamesbooker9411 couldn't have said it better myself! I couldn't imagine being raised by this horrible man!
Holy cow. Can you imagine your playmates come up missing and it turns out your father is killing and burying them?
No. I can't and won't imagine it.
Oh wow I can’t even go there👿
It takes a big and fearless, creative imagination to do that.
You mean holy hell right its,noting wrong to swear a little.
no
"Most prolific serial killer" is a phrase I hear in every single one of these documentaries. That term gets used too loosely lol
read his autobiography and you'll agree. Trust me, i wouldn't even sleep in the same room as that book!
@iWinnedAgain he's "not" what? you've lost me, speak clear English with me please as i am a very intelligent human.
@iWinnedAgain and why wouldn't you agree dimwit?
@Trash Man "I already it along...."? Wth?
For real like legend in entertainment
I’m from SC and my mom went to school with his niece . He was a monster to say the least. As for his daughter, I just feel bad for her it’s not her fault her dad was a murderer .
My dad knew his nephew
U should look up angry grandpas video on him he was friends with the guy for a while and shared some crazy ass stories
@@mattg1611 nah u gotta watch that Mac and cheese DORITOS disaster video straight gold
father's genetics did not interfere daughter life .... burden for her surname Gaskin
I hate how they make excuses as to why these killers killed.
I was sexually abused from 5-16 years old. Had many step-fathers some physically and mentally abusive. Relentlessly bullied at school. Had an absent father. Left alone for weeks at a time when I was under ten years old.
I don’t kill people. Abuse is not the reason people turn into killers. I really wish they’d stop associating those two things.
At the end of this video, it almost seems as if they are complimenting him.
Your a strong minded person and should give yourself more credit cuz some people who are abused have so much anger in there hearts & they don’t know how to deal with it!!
Agreed. I don't care if a person raped tourtured and mentally abused. NO excuse in the world to rape a baby a kill dozens. I commend you for being strong and not allowing excuses for evil.
Are you a psychiatrist or psychologist? No. So, what we do is sit down and do some research
@@bradychavez-smith2378 sicccccckkkk broooooo
My grandfather knew him and worked with him when he was roofing. He said he would come into work bragging about his murders but no one believed him then.
@@fredgarvin9262 Podcasters? In 1982?
i would be ashamed of my grandpa Yo.where i come from nobody would think its a fucking joke
Really, wow. What was he like did he say
Speaking as a true crime buff...that reminds me of Ed Gein. He killed Mary Hogan, the lady that owned the town's tavern. When she went missing, Ed Gein would say, "She's up at my house". Of course, nobody would believe him. They later found her head in a paper bag in his kitchen
@@peggypeggy4137 wow wtf funny but not funny
"Half pint, I need to get it off my chest." Never mind what damage is done to his daughter's soul listening to his accounts of unspeakable murders.
He was spouting B.S. His personality was entirely built around overcompensating for feelings of inadequacy and fear of harm. He MAY have killed A hitchhiker or a few hitchhikers (perhaps less than six), but nowhere close to the ridiculous number he tried to claim. He used what few he had killed, or imagined killing, to create a classic “fish story.”
@@inkyguy those he murdered were NOT all Hitchhikers. They were people he knew .
@@CryMeARiver63 I read his true crime biography. The video only scratched the surface. He owned a car repair shop and tow truck. Many of his customers were victims.
If you take a shot of vodka every time she says 'my daddy,' you will achieve nirvana - or so the legend goes...
Without the daughter, this documentary wouldn’t be as fascinating. She’s brave.
So, to the folks badmouthing her, you’re all hypocrites, no?
Lol no they are not.
how're they hypocrites? lmao she's pretty cringe ngl
The man claimed to kill more victims than what they found and they are still saying they don't believe him although they had initially not believed him when he claimed that he had a personal graveyard and it proved to be true.
It reminds me of a killer in South America that I read about. He told the police that he'd killed hundreds of people and they blew him off until they had some very rainy weather that uncovered a mass grave.
Body count and name of the victim is needed to backup the claim. The others was when he was younger, on different locations and on marshes. They would need to comb all those places to prove it.
Actually, a lot of killers would only be charged for a few body count or name of victim because that was the only once proven and pointed to them. But they will claim it was more than that. One serial killer I've watched was actually aiming to surpass the numbers of another killer. He counted all his killings and thought it was enough. He was satisfied about it but when the authorities counted, it was lower. So he kept saying that the numbers are wrong and they should check again but that was the only number that was proven and found to be connected to him.
its because they want to close the case.
Daughter made alot of people their last meal.
He was born to an unwed mother. They sure did go out of their way to call him a bastard without using the term.
He's pretty famous around here. People still talk about him. He's going to live forever, unfortunately. Like a monster in the myths.
What do they say about him?
I'm from a town 45 minutes below Columbia and growing up, my grandma ALWAYS talked him. She'd always warn me, anytime I went out, to be careful because "ole crooks like Peewee Gaskins or Larry Gene Bell" might get me. It just shows you that something like this, especially in a state like SC, sticks in people's memories. Ironically, we had a guy in our small town (around 500 people at that time) that was killing people around the time she'd warn me about people like Peewee and Larry.
@Edward Dail Huh? I'm not even trying to be obnoxious but I've read what you wrote like 3 separate times and still have no idea what you wrote...
@@13lilsykos what town?
I've grown up in SC almost my whole life and I didn't hear about him until a couple months ago where a list detailed the worst serial killer in every state. It was the first I heard of him and I looked him up. I read this one page of his "autobiography" (in quotes because many people have said that he exaggerated his claims, perhaps to feel more terrifying to people) and I had to stop because after a couple paragraphs I couldn't keep going. It was so detailed and horrifying what he thought of to do to another human being that even if it was fake was too much for me.
How is his daughter guilty of being born? None of us are guilty of being born; two other people are. Mom and Dad.
Justme247 That is without a doubt the most idiotic comment I’ve read in a long time. You might as well blame Adam and Eve because that’s when it all began. Or two prehistoric humanoids humping us into the future
@@Ainaes-Feline you lost me there.🤔
Didn't anyone notice sooo many people missing from the town?
Lily Mell small town mentality of “not my problem”
So many people go missing all the time it’d still be hard to keep track
I for one don’t watch news forecast when i get home from work. So, hell no that I wouldn’t know who be missing and doing what I’m my town. If anything my coworkers would tell me about it lol
PriapusV2 i don’t hear about much either but what i do hear is people not giving a shit like i said earlier the small town mentality. there’s 3200 people here and a guy went missing last year and literally no one batted an eye like hmph, sucks to be him. also a few months ago they found a guy dead in a ditch and he had apparently been there 3 days and a few people were like yeah i saw him laid down there but figured he was just drunk or tripped and fell... he died in a ditch along a main road in our town! you would think small towns would be close knit but it’s just a smaller group of people that hate each other lol.
Saint Elmo hear what? I’m confused lol
His daughter seems like such a sweet, southern gal. She appears to be so numb from what her father did. I can’t even imaging what goes through her mind. Especially being one of the last people to see some of the victims alive and not even know that her dad was going to kill them right after.
she’s seems uneducated
Sure she didnt know?
@@lennarthagen3638you think she knew?
His daughter is so awesome! Loves her dad, accepts him for who with no hint of denial or excuse and never fails to do the absolute right thing against him at every turn. How difficult a life she must experience
Accepting him is because she is brainwashed
My uncle Bobby was housed on old death row with him when he blew that guy up . Said it was the loudest sound he ever heard. And that pee wee was laughing like a mad man afterwards.
Demonically possessed!!!
Pee Wee said in his book that the last sound the inmate heard was the sound of him laughing hysterically.
@@guerralg63, in which case he wouldn’t be responsible for ne of his behavior, would he?
@@inkyguy , nope not how it works. Being possesed requires consent, read the bible. It's a choice.
@Brandon Sutton, yes. Those with the Holy Spirit through Christ Jesus cannot be possesed by demons, because they are a possession of God Almighty. However when you dont have the Holy Spirit and you dabble in the occult you are fair game to familiar spirits. Or if you take drugs or are a drunk, you expose yourself to demonic spirits.
Disturbing, disgusting and Abhorrent behaviour towards a baby.
No human should ever experience such fear or pain🔪🔪🔪😱😱
RIP to all the victims 😥🙏
I noticed that when the officer spoke of his niece being killed that it had saddened him so much but then when he was telling about the two-year-old being killed and raped, he didn’t have as much remorse. That is something completely horrifying, disgusting, and saddening.
Yeah me too I've noticed that
I got that too! He was so saddened by the 15 year old and the baby it was like he was talking about his lunch. Both are sad no doubt but what he did to the baby was beyond horrifying.
We don't know what the interview was like. He didn't seem to want to talk about the baby at all.
It’s probably dissociation from trauma
Yeah I caught that too.. seemed weird
His daughter’s palpable awe of her father is haunting and creepy.
@Evan Moyer Cognitive dissonance
As they say in thr country, the apples don't fall far from the tree!
Pamela Meeks , that was stupid.

@@violagentsch I was thinking the same thing
Well, he did one thing right....his daughter seems fairly 'normal'. I mean, growing up with him & hearing all his stories....WOW. I am so glad she lived to testify against him in court.
Normal? She knew what her father was doing and never said a word about it. On top of that she only testified to save her own skin. Look at how she describes events of horrific violence, just smirking after no emotion that is not "normal" in my book.
@@ocoolwow i seriously doubt she knew for certain what he was doing
i grew up in the south during the early 80's and i can tell you back then if you ratted on your family no matter what they done you were ousted from your family accusations were even worse an accusation would get you beaten and if you survived the beating it was in ones best interest to relocate also you have to consider just how afraid was this woman
Its my understanding daughter was informed of most of it after he was caught
She definitely was the most intelligent, but I think she has time to come to terms with what she went thru with realizing her father was a monster
@Ryan Shull I do! Yer daddy said I kissed even better than you ;)
I've never heard of this monster. He was INSANE! I say that as in the methods and numbers are crazy. Absolute monster.
It's nice to actually see this serial killer covered, especially considering I grew up in the area my entire life. My dad knew him and passed by him on a few occasions, and we're also loosely related to his family. When people talk about serial killers, they never talk about Gaskins, which is surprising considering the extent of the man's murders and just how brutal they really were. I still remember reading about how he led police into the woods and just started pointing to random spots, and each spot they dug up, they found bones. The man was twisted in many ways and easily is one of the most violent and disturbing serial killers around.
This is a fake story.. Never happened
Oh so many people deserve death, what he did to children maddens me, though.
If you are going to compare which murderers were cruel or perverse, each murderer will have his modus operandis.
Attempted murder should have the same sentence as successful murder. Being bad at your crime doesn't minimize the crime.
Also, if someone can do horrendous things in their youth (such as rape and murder)...they are literally not fixable. Why do we constantly release these monsters back into society?
I didn't want to like the daughter at the start, but I couldn't help but warm towards her by the end. Seems an honest woman.
laura stuart there’s truly power in a good heart. It took care of her and probably a lot of other peeps in the long run (besides, it’s actually her).
She was till the end,daddy's girl. Like she says at the end he was still her dad and she'll always love her daddy.
If I recall right,Richard Kuklinski's one daughter,unlike her siblings,kept going visiting him in the prison till near the day he passed away,despite everything she had to witness at home during her childhood. She too was 'daddy's girl' and the one who could always calm Richard down.
I can't even imagine the emotional turmoil of feeling horrible about the things your parent has done yet being unable to turn off your honest love towards them in cases like Gaskings and Kuklinski. But so many ppl hate such family members of murderers and refuse to understand how someone can still care for such person,unless there's something wrong with them too..They don't wan't to accept the fact that strong enough feelings can't just be turned off like that,like from a push of a button.
If there's a book out there from her perspective as Pee Wee's daughter,I'd very much like to read it!
@@Jefrma we'll never understand how they feel unless we were to be put n that situation

"That just doesn't happen". Yes it does, hack. Aggression is one of the most common symptoms of TBI. That doesn't mean that every brain injury will lead to aggressive behavior, or that every aggressive person has had a traumatic brain injury. But it does mean that it's a possible cause or contributor to his behavior.
You really beleive every person who has been aggressive has had a TBI. That's absurd. Everyone has been aggressive at some point. Not everyone has tbis. Just stop
Yes! You get hit at just the right place it can totally change you. A TBI can most definitely be a contributing factor in major aggressive behavior. There’s been countless examples of this in history. Pair a TBI with a horrible upbringing and you shouldn’t be surprised if you get a serial killer.
People who say things like "such and such just doesn't happen" really gripe my behind. We don't know now and probably never will know exactly what contributes to the making of a serial killer. My guess is that it takes a combination of several or more factors, such as single mother, prostitute mother, promiscuous mother, head injury, bullying, violent father, sexual abuse as a child, etc. The bottom line is that there is a reason for someone having an urge to kill. It doesn't just happen.
Yeah, for real. That was such an ignorant thing to say.
I cant believe that woman is suppose to be some kind of expert. I know more about criminal behavior than she does from watching couple of RUclips videos.
This one was intense. What a f***ing monster. Thanx for posting, never heard of this creep before
TheDodicat: I guess I’ve been living under a rock too, then!
Listen to me my friend
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23. We are all sinners. We have all lied, or stolen, looked at women that are not our wives in a sexual way at least once before. Good deeds can't wash away what sins we have done.
"10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips: 14 Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery [are] in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes." Romans 3:10-18. We are all sinners. We all deserve to go to hell.
However, there is good news. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23. We have all sinned but since Jesus died for us and rose again, we can be saved.
If we repent and trust in Jesus alone for our salvation we shall be saved. We must forsake our sins and not be hypocrites. We will not be sinless or perfect but we will get a new heart that hates sinning and desires to live a Holy life out of love and appreciation for what Jesus did.
Repent and trust Jesus alone my friend. Trust that Jesus died for your sins, is The Son of God and rose again on the third day and now is sitting at the right hand of God.
May Jesus Bless you, open your eyes and keep you. :)

How his daughter can sit there and recount her father's grotesque atrocities is beyond comprehension.
I'm not sure she's all there. She's really just reciting facts that she remembers. I thought she was bizarre at first as well, but I think she's another victim of swamp mentality... probably zero education and never been more than a mile from where she was born and just as overwhelmed and shocked by all the events as you are.

Too true half pint... too true.
Y'all 🙄 This is a southern area, and in such areas, especially in the older generation, it is common for kids to grow up calling their father's "daddy".
Also, these are simple people that grew up in a time without the Internet, unlike younger people today.
Not sure why that is so difficult to understand.......
There's simple, and then there's this....
I guess that maybe right I'm southern and I called my father daddy I didnt know that was wrong or a southern thing is that like how we say yesmam and no sir
It’s not the practice of calling a parent daddy, it’s the fact that she still lovingly refers to him as daddy even knowing he was a baby raping piece of murdering shit.
I'm 66 and my daddy is 93. He will always be my DADDY!
I'm Irish and I still call my parents Mammy & daddy. It's the norm where I grew up in Dublin . I'm 50yrs old , they'll always be my Mammy & Daddy.
Pee Wee was something else in the Carolinas. Thank God his daughter came out alright because her daddy was crazy. She seem like she barely hung on to her sanity because he had the NERVE to burden// his OWN daughter with details of his foolishness. SMH Now...how a prisoner get C4. Phew! Pee Wee sure made the jail look like a fool. His daughter is the real MVP...testified against her dad.
Listening to the daughter talk about her father's horrific crimes was very unsettling.
She's definitely 1 creepy bitch herself.
Her eyes are also rather creepy. She has this strange look.
i didnt find her creepy her creepy at all
i saw her as a pee wee gaskins living victim
just think that poor woman has lived her entire life in the shadow of her fathers murderous legacy
She’s haunted by it. Can you imagine having to know that about your dad? What she has to deal with, and how she deals with it, isn’t ours to judge. I for damn sure don’t wanna be in her shoes.
@Steve A just as a parents love is unconditional so is a childs love
you know i had a brother that hurt a lot of people physically and mentally and i still love em cause he is/was my brother

Yep, she doesn't seem to have any shame about it
She is matter of fact about it. Can you even imagine how many times she has had to tell this story? Like velveteyes said, she is healed. She is a very strong woman, to be as balanced as she is about it. You would rather she was sitting, weeping and wringing her hands, for decades, than get over it and move on? None of this is her fault. She did the right thing. I'm impressed with her fortitude.
I read his book, it's insane. It'll change you as a person and wake you to the capabilities of some people. I lived in the area where he lived and visited his murder shack. It has a weird and dark vibe and you can just feel the negativity and pain in the air.

I am a fan of anything true crime and serial killers. I have never heard of this man and he was truly evil. I wonder why he is never mentioned in documentaries or for that matter mentioned at all. Thank you for bringing this to light.
he has, you just haven't paid attention. I've known about this prick since the 80's.
PBS put out a documentary about him called Carolina Stories and he wrote an autobiography, which I haven't read. He is supposed to be the most famous/prolific serial killer in S Carolina. He admitted to at least 15 murders but it could have been as many as 100, depending who you ask. He gained notoriety and was executed long before the internet. You are right though--he probably killed more people than say, BTK but not nearly as famous. Maybe because he didn't seem to crave attention/taunt the police- the way BTK did.

Holy crap!! I have watched almost every serial killer documentaries and I have never heard of this guy. This story was by far one of the worst that made my stomach hurt.
..check out library books i read about him in 1998
Agp had some stories with him
One of my clients was fresh out of Med school in the mid 70’s and she went to work for the County Coroner. One of her first jobs was pulling the Kim from the septic tank.
So lucky
dacealksne ikr! I could tell from the way she talked and the look on her face she was clearly affected and could never forget those days cleaning up after PeeWee.
I’m surprised this is the first time I’ve heard of this man! I truly feel sorry for his daughter. From what I gather, she knew something was amiss, but didn’t know the details until much later.
I cannot imagine the emotional turmoil she has endured, and it’s incredible that she appears to be so level-headed.
Perhaps she appears desensitized because it’s been years since these things happened, and the more you talk about something, the easier it becomes.
Just an all around terrible situation.
I grew up in the deep south and even I feel the need for subtitles every now and again.
Lmfao!!!!!! 😂😂💯😆🤣
Wonder why he carried that Jr. after being born to an unmarried mother and never knowing his father? I wonder if that Jr. was given to him by his mother as a way of trying to protect him from the bastard brand? That was a real thing during that time in history, especially in the South. You were always dirt and a pariah if born out of wedlock.
His daughter sure looks a whole lot like his mother in that photo of her young.
I grew up in florence, he used that name because his mother had several partners at his time of conception, Henry Gaskins was one of the men, pee wee took his name in hopes of having mr. Gaskins fortune. Before the body was cremated mr. Gaskins declined a DNA test
@Edward Dail Boy and have they. You got that right for sure.
Absolutely a fantastic episode. Scary to think there may be others out there like him.
We live in South Carolina, my grandma knew him very well and would ask him what was in his trunk, he said “this girls body” everyone laughed it off until he was caught
Don't mess with the person , who has written I HOLD DEAD BODIES outside their car .
I'm from South Carolina and I remember folks talking about him all the time he was a the talk of the state for a long time and some folks still talk about him and Larry Gene Bell to this day
Patrick Kitchens Larry Gene Bell was a weirdo to....really a 10 year old.... ugh
Surprised that they didn't talk about Charlie Green "The Angry Grandpa" being Pee Wee Gaskins's friend. I learned about Pee Wee Gaskins from Angry Grandpa.
I know right

34:56 That's how Gaskins' voice sounded?? He sounds like a grumpy old lady, LOL!!
Dam Daughter knows a little too much for my comfort. Like she could have saved so many lives.
He daddy needed to get it off his chest
It makes one wonder
@Vaderstar She's from a small town where schooling wasn't a priority back in the day, and was raised by a psychopath... like most victims of these monsters he deceived her... it's very common to not see the horrific things people are doing under your nose is situations like this. Poor woman, isn't her fault her daddy was a evil monster.
My point exactly I was looking though the comments just to see if anyone else was thinking this also
Some of the information is public after he was caught like the burial sites. This is after the fact. And it's not like she can just act like none of this happened.
My god! Hadn't thought of this in years. I'm from sc and not far from where this happened. I knew him and his daughter. He did roofing some & I worked with him on a few. He took a liking to me cause I played guitar. How he sounded when he spoke is why most thought he was harmless, but I knew there was more to him than he let on. If you can get the book by wilton earl called The Final Truth about him. It's written like he's speaking to you. It's the most awful thing I've ever read in my life EVER!!
Whoah...did you ever fear for your OWN safety???? (Seems like you had reason to)
@Leo Lugo why not, you are negative person, why would she lie about sily old basterd
What part of SC are you from I was born in 83 in Walterboro I remember stories about pee wee
I'm sitting in the Sumter SC city bus station with his brother right at this moment
john shepard punch him in the face for piece of shit by association
Nice knowing you 😂
I'm from sumter!!!
You want attention that bad sicko
This fella, Pee Wee, lived in my hometown. We used to hear stories when I was young about him and his black hearse; my grandfather knew him pretty well from working in tobacco together. He always had the creepiest stories about ole Pee Wee. Used to scare us to death as kids.
Do you mind sharing some of those stories
The daughter is a riot. He blowed him up. Made my afternoon.
“How many people you know who drives -“ HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU KNOW WHOM NAMED PEE WEE ?
I really like his daughter. She faces the truth with very little problem...that we can see when viewing this sad story.
@Alien Intention Damn son that's funny I don't care who you are ✌️
I agree. I think she carries the heart for the whole clan, a lot of love.
Alien Intention Yes, my name is Cissy. Not short for someone’s sister. I have a sister who calls me Cis.
@@CissyBrazil The whole joke just went completely over your head. God bless the simpleton my child.
Rick Daniels , I would think from that lame ass joke you’re pretty simple yourself or you think you’re funny but that would make ignorant also.
I’ve seen the daughters episode on “Evil Lives here” he killed her cousin, a lady she knew also the lady’s baby, a 13 year old girl the daughter used to watch, and many more people she knew, so cruel and evil, saddest thing ever.
I was born and raised in SC and my brother and husband used to work with his first cousin. Even his cousin was afraid to be around him. He said he was plain evil.
There is also an Autobiography about this man, did a book report on it in like 10th grade because we had to revolve it around local history.
Everyone in SC hears and knows about him and his old home is a frequent spot for curious teenagers. It's honestly a terrifying place though it is so decrepit. You can feel this heaviness as soon as you enter the property.
Edit: y'all, just stay away from SC. 😅 I'm saying that and I grew up in this area.
You got that right! Most fucked up state I've ever been too and I live in NW Florida/ !labama and been too Mississippi too! There is a evilness to that state especially around the low country! I've seen some fucked up shit in the short time I lived there... weird paranormal unreal shit!
The kerosene, step dad's, the all-boys school (in the 50's), the abuse by his uncle's, the prison (multiple times). Y'all are wondering why he was the way he was? This was in the 50's people, he was all messed up and no one helped, so he turned into a disgusting monster. Makes you think about little tiny Donald though, before the kerosene😔.... Watch your kids people, love them and choose them first, over everyone.
Weird fact: Almost all of the most notorious serial killers were born under 4 different astrological signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Gaskins was a Pisces.
Even weirder: Those are known as "mutable" signs, and they're every third sign of the zodiac: Gemini is 3rd, Virgo is 6th, Sagittarius is 9th, Pisces is 12th.
"Daddy slept with the snakes". What a perfect comparison 👏
5:40 "After 6 or 7 months we knew something wasn't right." Yep. Bright girl.
Henry G 😂😂😂😂🤦🏼♂️
well for what its fucking worth there been instances where people have been missing for years and turn up alive and perfectly fine
MIT missed this guy when scouting.
😅😅😅😅😜
The baby's part hurt me so much that I couldn't just stop crying... They wanted to steal his body and worship him because they think his the devil's son???
Someone please tell me how a man on death row gets C4 and records his phone calls on tape?
Yeah, it is hard to believe some of these boasts
Precisely
I was thinking the same
If you know the right people, it can be done.
It’s the South.
@@shawndouglass2939, getting C-4 and recording his phone calls weren’t boasts. It is fact. I blame that, however, on a lazy and incompetent prison administration.
..Family Genes.This daughter of Pee Wee knew all the time that her dad was up to no good, but she stayed mum!
Donald Gaskins is the poster boy for the death penalty. May it never ever be abolished for those like him
He was a very clever and resourceful man. Sad he didn’t go in the right direction for his life. What a terrible man.
Love this comment
I'm living with a creepy family. I listen these stories at nights. I hear how they walk above me. It gives me extra chills🤪
I feel so bad for his daughter man. U can tell she has a very heavy heart about all this. Rip all those people 🥺
Humans have started to mate with vegetables.
and with horses. I mean how do you explain julia roberts ?
40:12 Forensic psychologist says "killing means nothing to him.." I don't believe so.
Like saying another drink means nothing to an alcoholic. This bastard was addicted to killing.
He needed his power fix and consequences be damned.
I took that as he wasnt phased by the act of murder
He reminds me of Henry Lee Lucas, trying to come off as the baddest of the bad --- but there don't appear to be enough missing people to account for that large a body count. But he's gone so I guess we'll never know.
Agreed, I mean he was undoubtedly a killer and all around sociopath, there’s no evidence he was anywhere near as badass (in terms of body count) as he liked to brag. Most of literature mentioning Gaskins and Lucas states pretty definitively they both inflated their body counts as another way to inflate their egos.
@@NJRDC I agree that he’s has exaggerated the number of victims he has killed but I do believe he has way more victims than what is known about. He maybe telling the truth about his “coastal kills” Im from South Carolina and in the 70’s we lived on hwy 38 in Bennettsville. That is a main route to Myrtle Beach SC. In the 70’s you saw a lot of hitchhikers heading for the SC. Coast. Most were young, probably runaways or people who had “dropped out hippy types”. If they were already “missing” and crossed paths with Gaskins then they are most likely still listed as missing over 40 years later. Most of the state is rural and the coastal regions are low lying swamp areas with alligators, quick Sand and hot humid weather for much of the year. Lots of places to get rid of a body. He had a large wooded aera in Sumter SC.that became his grave yard for many of his known victims. Who’s to say that’s his only one?
I bet he killed an awful lot more people than they caught him for. Maybe not over 100... but transients like many hitchhikers are can easily go unmissed by anybody. If you watch enough of these documentaries, you'll realize also how many prostitutes are never identified. Their identities are lost to the mists of time. Nobody is looking for them. Many probably come from terrible upbringings, single drug addicted or dead parents etc..
@@danadretzel1171 good point. Quicksand? That does sound ominous.😳
@@marilynmitchell7394 I was a young kid when all of this came to light. Donald Pee wee Gaskins was the boogeyman come to life. My maternal grandmother had a relative that married into gaskins family way back. I’m glad the connection is by marriage and not blood. Much of the crimes that are unsubstantiated came from a book that a local writer work on with Gaskins and was published after Gaskins went to the chair. Maybe he is lieing about a lot of the murders he claims to have committed but I can’t say I put it past him. This thing killed his sisters fourteen year old daughter along with her friend. Raped both before killing them and put their remains in an old septic tank at an abandoned house in a rural area. He also killed an unwed, pregnant teen mother and her two year old child because he disliked the fact that the baby was biracial. Oh and he did abuse the baby before killing her. These are actual know victims. Gaskins went for years allowing his sister to grieve her daughter who to her was missing. He gave up the location of her remains to escape the death penalty. He was not put to death for any of the murders committed outside of prison. He was put to death for killing a inmate on death row. This death row inmate had killed an elderly couple who ran a store in Myrtle Beach SC. In a robbery. The murdered couples son hired Gaskins to kill him. Gaskins was made a trustee at the prison and established a friendship with the death row inmate. After several failed attempts he finally killed him with explosives that gaskins somehow obtained. Gaskins also managed to get a tape recorder and taped the conversation with the murdered couples son and was planning to blackmail him. It was these tapes that sealed his fate and he got the death penalty for murdering an inmate on death row. Maybe he lied maybe he didn’t. He may have told the truth and took a lot more with him to the grave.
My grandfather knew him personally. He used to drive a black hearse, and would always travel with a shovel. When my grandpa asked him why he drove a hearse and had a shovel, he replied ‘I use it to bury bodies.’
I think the daughter didn't make any excuses for him
People upset about her calling him “daddy” she seems to have a mental disability
People in the South call their fathers Daddy at any age duh
Well, I imagine it would be worse if she were calling you Daddy!
It seems like she does have some sort of delay
It seems like she doesnt even care bout all these morders..
It’s a southern thing.
I would go as far to say that we will never know the exact number of ppl he killed ...
Oh my god. This guy was evil to the core. He SA’d a baby and then hit her in the head with an ax, because the baby was half black? This shows how crucial the formative years are for a child. This guy grew up without a father, abandoned by his mother for weeks at a time and left with a strange men to be beaten and abused in multiple ways.
It almost appears that his daughter is kinda proud to be his daughter. I don't know if I could go on a documentary and talk as much about him as she does. You would think it would be too traumatizing. Maybe that's just her way of dealing with it. Although I just cringe when she refers to him with such affection in her voice when she calls him daddy.
Isn't that sick. Calls him Daddy
He was seriously deranged, but reading the comments about people who knew him and him saying he was a killer but then thought he was joking? That’s scary shrugged it off o.O
Poor daughter, she's just telling us the truth, we can't judge her for her honesty. This is how she grew, up this is the life she lived with her daddy, it's her truth. Don't hate, shes obviously had a hard life, she has had to live with this her whole life when she didn't lift a finger in hate. We don't know she might have been living her own nightmare so imagine you were her before you post. I for one am thankful for her honesty.
I agree annies. I traveled the Carolinas in the early 80's buying lumber to ship North. I saw family shacks in the middle of fields that had no running water or other utilities. It was a hard life but it was all that they knew. It was a very humbling experience for me. She seems to have stayed very close to her roots. I think that is what gives her comfort.
A lot of these channels/vids are done almost professionally. The subject matter is enough to make you puke, but they are done nicely. Great job. Thanks.
It’s a television show.
Daughter: I knew something was wrong when he had blood on his hands and they ain’t being seen no more..... So why didn’t you notify someone?
Because he was her father and she lived with him and depended on him and nobody would protect her?
dacealksne another thing is if she told someone her dad might have murdered her as well
She didn't live with him, she was married. Her loser dad never supported her financially.
Omg how am I just hearing about this monster?!?! Unreal.
In his book he states that he tried to get them to take him out so that he could show him the places where he put the costal bodies and called it the gaskins graveyard, but prosecuters refused to take him and said that he was talking about a secret family graveyard.
"He just couldn't help [...] that baby." - there are not enough cat videos in the world to make me feel better after hearing that sentence.
"He blowed him up"
🤣🤣🤣 THE BEST
Angry grandpa anybody!
Yes. That's what made me look this up. Was grandpas videos talking about him lol
Yes!
Yes
He looked like a small man with a chip on his shoulder, people do, as they are allowed to do.
There was a multitude of people that could of stopped this. His daughter is a credit to her own strength of will.
Not many could turn out as well given her upbringing.
He did mention he got gang raped mutilpe times that might help
They should've interviewed Angry Grandpa about this guy.
Shirley seems to have done something to help make her survive (remember she's an only child). She has learned to compartmentalize this horror. On one hand he's her father - she loves him, knows the part of him he showed her as best as He allowed. The other compartment is this monster - responsible for all these crimes and probably more. When she talks about the monster, she appears detached but you can detect how this all sounds unbelievable to her, almost incomprehensible like she's talking about someone else or living the horror. Through all this she still has an innocence and true remorse for the friends, acquaintances who are gone. He father burdened her with all this information, so by her sharing I believe it helps her to cope and accept. Keeping a secret this big would probably destroy those with a conscious - she is surviving. I truly wish her peace. :)
Shirlely was not an only child. She has a brother named Donnie
