Gaskins: The Hitchhiker Killer
South Carolina serial killer Donald “Pee-Wee” Gaskins carried out a reign of terror marked by extreme brutality. He stabbed, shot, drowned, and poisoned victims from his own community as well as hitchhikers, often targeting the vulnerable. Beneath the rural land near his home, bodies lay hidden in shallow graves, concealing years of violence. His history of crime masked the depth of his cruelty—until authorities uncovered the truth, exposing the full horror of his murders.

Taylor Stiles gets a few nods for his performance, but the focus stays squarely on the unsettling, grim reality of the crimes themselves.
