In the second volume of Killer British Murder Stories, I discuss the case of American serial killer Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins with Bobbie Holmes.Gaskins was an American serial killer and convicted rapist from South Carolina who stabbed, shot, drowned and poisoned more than a dozen people.Before his convictions for murder, Pee Wee Gaskins had a long history of criminal activities resulting in prison sentences for assault, burglary, and statutory rape.He claims to have killed 110 people in total, but those claims could never be validated.He was executed by the electric chair on September 6, 1991.This is the second of two collaboration episodes Bobbie and I recently recorded. For part one, in which I tell Bobbie the story of Reynhard Sinaga, check out Killer Stories.In typical Bobbie Holmes fashion, rather than refer to Gaskins by his real name "Donald", she instead went with "Ronald".You can find and support 'Killer Stories' here:https://linktr.ee/KillerStoriesFollow British Murders on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/britishpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/britishmurdersTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@britishmurdersTwitter: https://twitter.com/britishmurdersYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BritishMurdersPodcastMerchandise available here:https://teespring.com/stores/britishmurdersSupport the show on Patreon for early access to ad-free-episodes:https://www.patreon.com/britishmurdersMake a one-off donation here:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/britishmurders All episodes are available on my website:https://www.spreaker.com/show/british-murdersPlease send any British murder case suggestions to:britishmurderspodcast@gmail.comIntro music:David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'https://linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusicMy recording equipment:Shure SM57 Dynamic MicFocusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio InterfaceRecorded in:ZoomEdited in:Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2019AudacityBobbie's References:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Henry_Gaskinshttp://www.murderpedia.org/male.G/g1/gaskins-donald-henry.htmhttps://www.thoughtco.com/donald-pee-wee-gaskins-973165https://allthatsinteresting.com/pee-wee-gaskinsRosewood, J.
