Jeffrey Glenn Hutchinson (November 6, 1962 – May 1, 2025) was an American convicted mass murderer who was sentenced to death for a 1998 quadruple homicide in Crestview, Florida. On September 11, 1998, Hutchinson, an Army veteran who had fought in the Gulf War, shot and killed his 32-year-old live-in girlfriend Renee Flaherty, along with her three children: Geoffrey (aged nine), Amanda (aged seven) and Logan (aged four).
During his trial, Hutchinson claimed diminished responsibility due to alcohol intoxication and mental disorders like the Gulf War syndrome in his defense. Nonetheless, he was found guilty of the mass murder and received three death sentences for the children's murders, as well as a life sentence for the murder of his girlfriend.
Hutchinson was executed at the Florida State Prison on May 1, 2025.
