Henry Eugene Hodges (born August 16, 1966) is an American convicted serial killer and former sex worker who was found guilty in both Tennessee and Georgia of three murders. Hodges confessed to murdering at least eight men, most of whom were homosexual, between 1988 and 1990. He was tried for three murders: stabbing 34-year-old Barry McDonald in Tennessee on July 14, 1989; robbing and killing 37-year-old Ronald Bassett in Tennessee on May 14, 1990; and strangling 32-year-old Michael Whisnant in Georgia on May 16, 1990.
Hodges was arrested two days after murdering Whisnant. In Tennessee, he was sentenced to death for the murder of Ronald Bassett, while he received two life sentences for the other two killings in Georgia and Tennessee. He is currently on death row at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution, awaiting execution.
