EP19: Donald "PeeWee" Gaskins: South Carolina's "Coastal Killer" PART 1

**CONTENT WARNING this episode does contain mentions of childhood DA & SA, animal abuse, and in general contains extremely adult content.

Something ain't right with PeeWee....and in PART ONE we're here to tell you all about his tumultuous childhood in the 1930's & 40's in rural Florence County, SC, and the budding disturbing pathologies that would eventually manifest themselves in the most heinous crimes against men, women, and children. Donald "PeeWee" Gaskins is oddly not talked about as much as other serial killers, and we think maybe its because there's quite simply nothing about his story that can be weirdly romanticized. It's just all bad. Lights Out Campers.
