Overview

For two decades, a monster prowled the coastal highways of South Carolina-and no one even knew he existed. Between 1969 and 1982, Donald ""Pee Wee"" Gaskins transformed rural backroads into hunting grounds, preying on hitchhikers, neighbors, and even his own family. His small stature and unremarkable appearance masked a sadistic predator who would eventually confess to over 100 murders, making him one of America's most prolific serial killers. This is his complete story. The Hitchhiker Killer takes you deep inside the life and crimes of South Carolina's deadliest serial killer. From his brutal childhood in Depression-era poverty to his reign of terror along coastal highways, from his double life as a businessman-turned-butcher to the shocking murder he committed even while on death row-this meticulously researched account reveals every dark chapter of Gaskins' horrifying legacy. Inside this gripping true crime chronicle, you'll discover: The twisted psychology of a killer who felt no remorse How he evaded detection for over a decade despite dozens of victims The coastal kill strategy that made hitchhikers disappear without a trace The personal vendettas that led him to murder friends and family The brave confession that finally brought him to justice Chilling courtroom testimony that shocked a nation The unprecedented death row murder that sealed his fate The families who waited years-sometimes decades-for answers Drawing from court transcripts, police reports, witness testimonies, and Gaskins' own disturbing confessions, this documentary book provides the most comprehensive account of his crimes ever assembled. You'll walk the same highways where he hunted, enter the torture chamber on his property, and witness the trial that captivated the nation. This is more than a true crime story-it's a stark examination of evil, a tribute to the victims whose lives were stolen, and a testament to the resilience of those who survived.
