Description
Donald Gaskins: The Most Prolific Serial Killer in American History Donald Henry "Peewee" Gaskins was a name that commanded respect, if not fear. His nickname "Peewee" was a cruel irony, for those who underestimated him did so at their own peril. Between the 1950s and 1982, Gaskins claimed scores of victims, making him the most prolific serial killer in South Carolina history and possibly in all of American history. Gaskins' motivations for murder were as varied as they were disturbing. Some of his victims fell prey to his unnatural carnal desires, while others were killed as part of his career as a contract killer. His crimes defied many of the profiles used by law enforcement and mental health professionals, who struggled to understand the twisted mind behind the killings. This book tells the true story of Donald Gaskins, a man who embodied the darkest aspects of human nature. With a range of victims and motivations that will shock and horrify, Gaskins is a name that will haunt readers long after they finish the book.
