John Henry Knight was 15 when he was lured to a wooded area near the home of a man in Prospect, South Carolina, and killed by gunfire on October 10, 1975. His 27-year-old half-brother, Dennis Bellamy, was killed the same day. In November 1975 an associate, Walter Neely, confessed to police, said he had been present for both killings, and led investigators to shallow graves on the property where the bodies were buried.

The associate’s confession led to the arrest of Donald Henry Pee Wee Gaskins on November 14, 1975. Gaskins confessed to the murders of Knight and Bellamy and to a series of other killings; a search of his property recovered the remains of eight victims. Gaskins was convicted of multiple murders and ultimately received a death sentence.

Are there any neighbors or family members from Prospect who remember John Henry Knight or have information about October 1975?
