Donald Henry Gaskins

Ashlyn and Austin Stott

Gaskin's was born on March 13, 1933 in South Carolina. His childhood was filled with beatings from his step dad and kids at his school. His childhood is part of the reason he became one of the most horrible serial killers in America.

He raped, sodomized, and tortured his victims before he killed them.
Gaskins said that he would have bothersome feelings that were only satisfied when he tortured, and killed.

In his lifetime Gaskins killed up to 110 people

Whether they were "Coastal Kills" or what he considered "Serious Murders"

"I have walked the same path as God, by taking lives and making others afraid, I became God's equal. Through killing others, I became my own master. Through my own power I come to my own redemption."
Donald Gaskins

Gaskins asked a friend, Walter Neely, to help him bury the bodies of the recent people he had killed. He also showed Neely his private cementary where he had buried other locals.

The authorities were becoming suspicious of Gaskins when the clothes of a missing girl were found in his home. Neely cracked under pressure, and on November 14, 1975 ended up telling the police of Gaskin's recent killings and showing the police Gaskin's cemetary where the bodies were buried.

We have learned a lot from this research project. We see how times have definitely changed when it comes to law and investigation. This trial still applies to issues in today's society because there are still serial killers today. There will always be bad people, but eventually justice is served to them all. In the end, the bad never wins.
