Donald Henry "Pee Wee" Gaskins Jr. was an American serial killer and convicted rapist from South Carolina. He 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. His last arrest was for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, 13-year old Kim Ghelkins, who had gone missing in September 1975. During their search for the missing girl, police discovered eight bodies buried in shallow graves near his home in Prospect, South Carolina. In May 1976, a Florence County, South Carolina jury took only 47 minutes before finding Gaskins guilty for the murder of one of the eight victims, Dennis Bellamy, and sentenced him to death by the electric chair.
