Tormented by abuse at an early age, Donald Henry Gaskins had accumulated a long criminal record throughout his childhood and teenage years.

Then between the years of 1953 and 1982, he would murder 14 people and claimed to have killed dozens more.

His troubled childhood would set the groundwork for a life of crime, leading Gaskins, or Peewee, to become one of South Carolina brief and bingeable true crime.

I'm Joe, the host, and thank you for joining today.

And I hope that you're enjoying

a little bit of the holiday break. Not necessarily that you are on a break, but I'm on a break.

I'm still doing the podcast, obviously, but that's about it. I've taken most of the month of

December off from my regular job, and I've just been at home doing nothing, which honestly feels pretty good.

Now, I have been catching up on some true crime documentaries that I've missed, and I've also

watched National Lampoon's Christmas vacation four times in this month alone.

So you can't really say I'm doing nothing.

But if you were to look at me, it would look like a guy that was getting dressed at the YMCA

and he realized that his

clothes got stolen and they said, hey, here's some stuff in the lost and found. Just put this on.

That's what I've been looking like the last couple of weeks. Just barely Walmart presentable.

And I've also been looking up a lot of stories that you guys have been emailing me. And by the way,

if you want to do that, Joe at 10 Minute Murder.com. And there's some very

interesting ones that I didn't even know existed. So we'll get to those in 2023 for sure.
