Aiexpress – Police have discovered that a wanted man is successfully avoiding capture by seeking assistance from individuals he meets on dating apps.
North Carolina authorities are currently on the lookout for Donald Ray Hodges, a 50-year-old individual also known as Tyrone Evans and Unique Hodges.
Hodges is accused of killing Brenda Bender, his wife, in 2022 in Conover, North Carolina. He’s been charged with killing someone in the first degree. In the time since the murder, no one has seen him. Police say he has ties to North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
Hodges has gained notoriety for his ability to befriend and manipulate individuals in order to acquire funds and elude capture. It is suspected that he utilizes dating applications to establish connections with both men and women, ultimately residing with them until his stay becomes unwelcome. At that point, he simply moves on to his next unsuspecting target.
The individual in question possesses an extensive record of criminal activities, encompassing offenses such as robbery, assault, and weapons-related charges. It is crucial to regard him as armed and highly dangerous.
According to the police, Hodges is a tall and muscular African American male, standing at 6 feet 6 inches and weighing around 273 pounds. He is bald, with brown eyes, and typically sports a beard. Hodges has several tattoos on his chest and arms, including an “OG” on his chest, a dog on his right shoulder, “TNT Hardcore” on his left shoulder, and “Love Shirley Nancy” along with a Masonic symbol on his left arm.
Hodges used to work as a truck driver.
