After his release, he married 28-year-old convenience store clerk Suzanne Overstreet, a divorced Zephyrhills woman with a 4-year-old son named Eugene "Buggy" Christian.

[4] By August 1984, Suzanne had gone to a women's shelter, citing her fear that her husband would harm both her and her son, and reportedly sought to have a restraining order issued against him.

[8] After wrapping her body in a rug, Henry stole a car and took Christian to a pasture near Thonotosassa, where he stabbed him to death behind a chicken farm.

[11] At both trials, Henry's attorneys argued that their client should not be considered eligible for the death penalty, claiming that his dependency on alcohol and drugs, as well as low-grade schizophrenia present since his birth, classified him as intellectually impaired.

Four years later, however, the Supreme Court of Florida ruled that the extensive testimony concerning Christian's murder prejudiced the jury in the Suzanne Henry trial.

[14] In the retrial, Wilber was brought in to testify again, repeating his testimony from years prior and emphasizing the apparent fact that Henry had attacked his wife, as nothing else in the apartment seemed out of place to indicate a fight.

For the remainder of his life, Henry's attorneys attempted to appeal his sentence on the grounds that he was supposedly intellectually disabled on account of his abusive childhood, schizophrenia, and 70 IQ.

His execution was welcomed by Selena Geiger, a niece, and cousin of Suzanne and Eugene, respectively, who said that she could finally be at peace knowing that her relatives' killer is now dead.
