Ronald A Bassett, 36, was murdered on May 14, 1990, in Nashville, Tennessee. Once inside, Hodges allegedly bound Bassett’s feet with duct tape and handcuffed his hands while he was restrained. Hodges and a 15-year-old girl identified as Trina Brown searched the home for valuables, obtained Bassett’s ATM PIN and discussed whether to kill him.

Brown testified that she encouraged Hodges to kill Bassett to avoid arrest. Hodges then strangled Bassett with a nylon rope; Brown estimated Bassett took about five minutes to die while making choking sounds. Hodges was arrested, pleaded guilty to premeditated first-degree murder and was sentenced to death. The narrative also states Hodges had multiple violent convictions and murders between 1988 and 1990 and is held on death row.

Are there readers who knew Bassett or who have information about his movements that night?
