Donald Henry Gaskins
Once described as "the meanest man in America", Donald Henry "Pee Wee" Gaskins is one of the most violent, horrific, yet lesser-known serial killers. Gaskins claimed to have killed over one hundred victims in his life-long stint as a serial killer. Gaskins was born to a young, single mother and experienced abuse, ridicule, and neglect, all of which create a perfect storm of future violent behavior and offending. Similar killers such as Henry Lee Lucas, Otis Toole, and many others came from a similar line of abuse and neglect. Gaskins has also been referred to as "the redneck Charles Manson" due to the similarities in their lives and statures. Along with holding several distinctive titles, Gaskins' story is also full of other crimes, littered with bodies, and pervasive violence.
Luis Garavito
Luis Alfredo Garavito Cubillos was born on the 25th of January in 1957. He is known as'The Beast' because he raped and murdered at least 140 young people. Based on the maps that he drew while he was in prison, investigators now believe that number could be closer to 300. Garavito was described by the media as "The worst serial murder in the world." When Garavito was finally captured, he was given the maximum penalty of 30 years in prison in Columbia. However, because he helped the Colombian police locate the bodies and he confessed to the crime, his sentence was reduced to 22 years. This is his gruesome, chilling story.
