The Meanest Man in America - Donald Henry Gaskins | Born To Kill? | True Lives

Video Description

Hearse-driving 'redneck' Donald 'Pee Wee' Gaskins Jr may only have stood 5'4'' tall, but he would earn himself the nickname of 'the meanest man in America' and become South Carolina's biggest mass murderer when police discovered his boasts of having his own private graveyard were real. Cops would eventually discover the bodies of 13 men, women and children, but in prison, Gaskins would claim to have killed more than 100. And Gaskins would add to his tally in prison, pulling off the extraordinary murder of a death row inmate - blowing him up by 'remote control'. But what created this feared psychopath and sexual sadist? Was it nature or nurture? Those that knew and pursued him, leading experts, and the loving daughter he confessed to examine whether Donald 'Pee Wee' Gaskins Jr was born to kill.
