The. What is going on, my fans?
How is everybody doing? It's kind of early for me this
morning. This your host Joel Davis on You
can't make this BS up. That's sorry for the delay on

(01:01):
this episode here. I know that you probably are
like why in the world is Joelle releasing 2 episodes on a
Friday? I thought that you released one
on Wednesday and 1:00 on Friday about it.

(01:23):
I've had a very crazy work week.Y'all know that I am in the food
industry so I am a cook and whenit gets busy it gets busy.
So I had to basically work on stuff on my right after I got

(01:46):
off work yesterday and into while I'm off work today.
So as of now I am recording the 4th installation of Kiwi Gaskins
for today when it was supposed to be done when.
Again I apologize but life happens.

(02:09):
I can't control that. But I do want to say thank you
very much for everyone that havebeen rocking with you boy,
showing support and things of that nature.
We are really getting discovered.
I do got some things lined up, some special guests coming in
the next couple of weeks. So please be on the lookout for
that and some collaborations as well.

(10:23):
All right, y'all, I had to come back.
This is probably going to be edited out whenever I do what I
do. I had to get some things
straightened out right quick. But anyway, as I was saying is
that I appreciate everybody withthe support.

(10:46):
Now the things that I do want everyone to to be aware of is
that is that I got some housekeeping

(11:08):
things that I want to talk about.
First things first is that please guys, if you like my
show, no matter what country youin or what part of the world you

It helps get our show notice by everyone on all the platforms.

(11:33):

please do not rated less than A5.
Just put in the comment what youdon't like.
And I'm constructive. I, I can, I can take
constructive criticism long as disrespectful and we go from
there. Now add space.
We do have add space available now since we are getting out

(11:57):
there a little bit. My headspace is very reasonable,
but 30 seconds is 10 bucks. If you want me to do let's say 3
intervals of getting your platform or whatever you're
trying to advertise out there, it's 30 bucks.
Now if you want to contact me, my e-mail is as follows.

(12:21):
You can't make this BS up at yahoo.com.
Again, you can't make this BS upalltogether@yahoo.com this drop,
what you need me to do and everything else.

(12:44):
So we'll go from there. You got a case suggestion?
You can actually reach out to meon that same e-mail or you can
follow me on my Instagram. You can't make this BS up ever.
You can also follow me on my Twitter.
You can't make this BS up. And you can also follow me on my

(13:12):
Facebook group. You can't make this BS up.
So there is all kind of alternatives to reach out to me
so we can collaborate and get things popping.
Also, if you want to support thechannel as well, I will always
give you a place where you can go and do your donations at,

(13:34):
which would be my cash app and you can support from there.
OK, Yeah. Room is covered so I don't they

(13:55):
don't be hot today. All right, so you guys do not
have been aware that we are coming back to the 4th part of
the Pee Wee Gaskins, the meanestman in America.

(14:17):
Now y'all let me tell you PeeweeGaskins is like a mix.
Now if you have not heard of this man, he is known as one of
the most notorious serial killers of the 20th century.

(14:43):
OK, this guy is responsible, he says up to about 100 deaths
around the Carolina region. Now there are the ones that they
can prove, which he has done, which I think is about 10 or

(15:06):
something like that, which we'llgo on to discuss into detail
further. But they have been things that's
been stated that they do feel like that he has done more than
what he has said he has done andthat with murders.
And, you know, he possibly couldhave done that.

(15:31):
So it's it's, it's out there, the questions out there.
Now one thing I do know about this gentleman Pee Wee Gaskins
is that he is not the typical serial killer size that you
would think of. You think of someone being a
serial killer, you think of thembeing very large in statue, you
know menacing. But Peewee Gaskins is none of

(15:54):
that. Peewee Gaskins is only about
5152 which mean stated on recordand he's only 140 lbs and you
would think a small man like that.
No way he could do all the things that he's done.
But he has and he has been a menace all his life and he does

(16:18):
not care who knows it. That's just how he is.
Now. Pee Wee do have some children.
One of his biggest supporters, which we talked about before, is
his daughter Shirley. She has always pretty much

(16:45):
spoken about knowing her father is a very disturbed individual,
but she still loves him because that's her father.
And granted, you know, she has that right.
But at the same time, that's pretty much the only person that
has ever really been in Huey Gasket's point.

(17:09):
Everyone else, when they see himas of the things that's been
brought to light, they have tried to go the other way.
So now we're going to go and lift off where Pee Wee has
killed for his lover, this very polished and distinguished

(17:29):
woman. He's done put in that work.
You know, he doesn't show the like, girl I love you baby, you
know, like I got your back kind of thing.
And now he is going to go into other things of other victims
that he has MO and he has taken out since then.

(17:53):
So I want y'all to be prepared that this is going to be
discussing the rest of the murders today.
And then we got one more installment, which this is, this

(18:13):
is a long one for me because it's a lot that we had to break
on. But this is a, this is a long
case. The final one is going to be
discussing his conviction and what he is doing after his
conviction. So more mayhem, more chaos.

(18:35):
So with that being said, let's jump into it.
So now it's April 1975. Now y'all know back in February
of 1975, that year again he had took out Cialis.

(19:06):
Cialis. I mean, for his lover, this
older woman. Now Sellers Yates is done going
on to the upper room and now he is focusing on another victim.
And this victim again in April 2000, excuse me, in April of

(19:29):
1975 is Diane Bellamy Neil. Now she was once close to Pee
Wee, they were sometimes lovers and she would also help him out
when it came to his scheming illegal activity.

(19:51):
She was even the one that was involved that helped him lure
sell on Silas Yates into an ambush by seducing him.
And to meet her in a location where it was very remote,

(20:13):
wooded. And that flirtation is what Pee
Wee betted on to trap this guy and kill him.
But now Diane's loyalty has now cracked in front of people long

(20:37):
with her boyfriend, Avery Leroy Howard.
They came up with the bright idea.
OK, since I'm doing all this work for Pee Wee, it's time for
him to know that if we don't getthis money, we going to them

(20:57):
people, AKA we going to the copsand tell them everything he's
been doing. So she confronts Pee Wee and
tell and listen man, if you do not give me and my man some
money from all the work and loyalty I've been doing for you
lately. Oh, we going to the cops, baby,

(21:17):
That's just what it is. We're going to tell them
everything you got going on. And I promise you, I promise you
they're going to come back. Well, that's when Kiwi with his
southern voice, when he likes say, oh, yeah, that's how you

(21:41):
really feel. OK, Diane, don't you worry about
it. You gonna get your mom.
That's not Pee Wee thought for real.
So in Pee Wee's mind, Diane has become dangerous.
She's a loose cannon. And now she gots to lead this

(22:03):
world. So pee wee came out with a
bright idea. He was like, you know what?
This is how he started up. He was like, hey, Diane, you
know what, you right, you you'vebeen so loyal to me and doing
everything. I need you to come out here to

(22:24):
do woods right quick. You and your boyfriend, Avery,
you know, so you get the warm and fuzzy, and I'm going to give
you all this money so we can keep everything on the ground.
So Diane is like, yeah, OK, let's do this.
All right, I knew you cut your senses.

(22:45):
So they hunt a boyfriend, go andmeet him in the woods.
Then he got them thinking that they bout to get this money.
He gone, You know, they gonna gohome and celebrate like they
always do. But that didn't happen that way.
When they got men Pee Wee, Pee Wee had that peace be still

(23:07):
ready to go. And the first thing Pee Wee did,
you guessed it, he gave them thefollowing right there to Diane.
She was the first one to go down, one clean shot and they

(23:32):
said he just put in the dirt andthen after that he turned to her
boyfriend and guess what, he gotthis too.

(23:53):
Now I want y'all to understand that Avery Leroy Howard is not
the type of guy that was scared of violence and was not used to
violence but a but he was, you know, the tough guy.
He was St. wise. He's the ex-con.

(24:14):
And in his mind he was like if Iever had a run up against
peewee, I could I could take him.
He ain't nothing but 52. Like I said, 140 something
pounds soaking wet. And So what he didn't understand

(24:37):
is Gaskins was also afraid of the size that Avery Wood and he
know that man. I can't fight this big
motherfucker. I'm only a small guy.
And he know that Avery also had a temple and he just had a lot

(24:58):
of people he was tied up with. It was just a lot for Pee Wee to
want to deal with, you know whatI mean?
So that's why he tricked him like he did and executed.
See y'all got to understand something about Pee wee before I
go to the next victims. Pee Wee was smart with his

(25:19):
execution. He knew he was a small guy.
He knew that he could not fight a lot of these guys one-on-one,
So what? Or people one-on-one.
So he would submit set up scenarios where he was in a
position where he gained the upper hand every time he got
full control. And if he knew that your fear

(25:43):
was towards him having the upperhand at that present time, PB
applied that pressure until you got it here.
It's what it was. Now now we're going into the
summer of fall of 1975 again. Pee Wee's on the tear.
He's already done knocked out four people so far.

(26:06):
Three people so far in this in this time frame.
Silas Yates. Now he didn't knocked off his
little side piece lover dying inBellamy nearly and then he done
knocked off a crazy ex time boyfriend Avery Leroy Howard.
So he on the roll right now and here in that summer of or fall

(26:32):
of 1975, Kim Gilkin was his nextvictim.
Now, Kim Gilkin was only 13 years old, and she was a
runaway, but she ran into Gaskin's home, and Pee Wee was
like, yeah, I take you in, I'll look out for you.

(26:53):
But it wouldn't because he caredabout this girl.
Pee Wee was a pervert, you know what I mean?
And he wanted to violate this young girl.
And he did it, too, repeatedly. He used all kind of tactics.
The way she was scared of him made her feel isolated and

(27:14):
vulnerable. And one time Kim made a mistake
of confiding in one of her girlfriends or one of her home
girls that Jaskin had done something bad.
And you know, she really wouldn't go into details.

(27:35):
Some people think it was becauseshe was talking about him
abusing her like he was. Some people think that he might
have told her about the murders.No one never know.
But Gaskins overheard it, and hejust made it in his mind that
Kim got to go home to see Jesus.So he took Kim on a drive, being

(28:01):
all nice and soft and calm, eventold her that everything was
going to be OK. Then he went deep into that
forest and he turned into a monster.
He violated her and then after he did all that, he decided to
take her out of this world. No one really know how she

(28:25):
passed away, but they do know that it was very personal and it
was very intimate and it was thefinal thing that sent him off
and then he buried her in a shallow grave.
Again. This baby was only 13 years old.
Rest in peace to Kim Gilkin. Now it is November the 10th,

(28:52):
1975. He's up to 4 murders already and
his next victim is Denise Bellamy.
See Denise was like this is November 10th, 1975 S Denise was
like 27 years old. I mean Dennis Tom, sorry I let

(29:15):
me rephrase that y'all I said Denise.
I don't know why I said Denise. It was Dennis Bellamy and this
was November 10th, 1975. Dennis was 27 OK He was like the
half brother of Diane Neely. Now he had been searching for
his sister Diane since her disappearance in April, but he

(29:37):
had a a good feeling that Gaskins had to be involved but
he couldn't prove it. But he decided to try to stay
close to Gaskins anyway. Dennis came to Gaskins with the

(29:58):
request to help rob a pawn shop.Now Gaskins was not no dumb.
He know this man was looking forhis sister.
Gaskins knew that he got rid of this man's sister and he also
knew that this man probably suspect he was the one that did

(30:22):
it. So he decided to play along with
him and say Oh yeah man I help. So he told Dennis that they need
to go out to the woods because he got to dig up some stolen
guns that's buried on his property.

(30:47):
So he give Dennis some kind of bullshit direction to get
started on and as soon as Dennisbit over to move the dirt,
Gasket put out that Peacemaker and did the following right in

(31:13):
the back of the head. No argument, no hesitation.
Dennis knew too much. He also was related to Diane and
he felt like that this man had amotive to get him because of
what he felt like he did to Diane.
And Gasses was like y'all ain't going to play me baby.

(31:34):
Y'all never catch ripping in in this foolishness.
Now here we go again the next victim which is Johnny John
Henry Knight. Now John Henry Knight was 15
years old just a kid. Now he was a friend of Dennis

(31:56):
Bellamy. He just was there for the ride
right? You know how you even your
homeboy or whatever was like, yoman, I got to meet somebody you
want to roll with me? And he was like, yeah, sure,
let's let's do that. So as I was saying so here you

(33:44):
got this 15 year old kid don't have anything to do with any of
this stuff it's just for the ride.
But he saw Dennis get shot and because of this he became a
witness. And y'all know how it is.

(34:07):
And peewee gas's world. If you're a witness you don't
survive, you go bye bye. And that's what happened.
John tried to ruin but some way,somehow, maybe he was frozen

(34:29):
with with terror or maybe he accepted his fate.
Either way, Gaskins died up to him and did this execution
style. He buried John in the same grave

(34:50):
as Dennis, a double burial behind the home where Gaston was
building his own graveyard, and again, another child murdered
being at wrong place at the wrong time.
So by the end of 1975, Donald Gas has literally taken out six

(35:17):
people less than a year just to make sure his tracks was
covered. He didn't.
He didn't do this for no pleasure during his stretch.
He killed out of necessity. Or at least that's what he was
telling himself. But you know, Gases wasn't about

(35:38):
to fool himself like that. He knew what the truth was.
The walls was closing in. People were getting hit to his
his antics. And at the same time, we already
know that the next time that Gases was going to be killed was
on it it it was going to be somewhere that you least

(36:02):
expected. So in our next episode we going
to explore the murder of anotherperson that meets Peewee Gaston

(36:22):
Rudolph Tyner. And let's just put it to you
this way, Rudolph Tyner's demisewas so insane that even to this
day, no one has been yet to pullthat Taco of of seriousness off.

(36:46):
So anyway, guys, all right, stoptalking to my dog.
Sorry about my dog barking on the background.
Please do me a favor. Please like, share, and
subscribe. All right, tell me what y'all

And as soon as we do that 5th part, we're definitely going to
be moving on to more things thatand more crazy stories that I
