6.) "Pee Wee" Gaskins & The Revenge of Tony Cimo-Part 2
Description
He called himself a hitman. A death row manipulator. A man too dangerous to be left alive.
In Part 2 of our deep dive into Donald “Pee Wee” Gaskins, we explore what happened after his conviction—and how he orchestrated one final murder from behind bars. But this time, his plan would backfire spectacularly. At the center of the fallout was Tony Cimo, son of one of Gaskins' victims, whose relentless pursuit of justice helped rewrite the ending.
This episode is part courtroom drama, part revenge tale—and all true. We look at how power, manipulation, and trauma collide when the system isn’t enough to stop a killer, and how one man’s grief became a mission for justice.
Pour a drink. Press play. And witness the shocking final act of South Carolina’s most feared murderer.
