In a significant event that will bring justice for families, the “Casanova Killer” will be executed today after his deadly cross-country murder spree.
See the tweet below.
Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed Rogers’ death warrant last month, ending years of costly appeals paid for by taxpayers.
The serial killer, who targeted vulnerable women with his charm before brutally murdering them, will soon meet his fate through lethal injection.
63-year-old Glen Rogers earned his sinister nickname by frequenting bars where he would seduce women, particularly single mothers with reddish hair, before robbing and killing them.
His reign of terror began on September 28, 1995, in Los Angeles and quickly spread across multiple states, leaving at least five confirmed victims in his wake.
The calculated killer faces execution specifically for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother he met at a Tampa bar.
Florida law enforcement discovered Cribbs’ body in a motel bathtub after Rogers had fled in her car, while court documents revealed the horrific scene:
“Cribbs was found lying on her back in the bathtub. She was clothed, wearing a damp T-shirt, underwear, and socks. On the bathroom floor, authorities found a damp pile of clothes and bloodstained towels.”
Moreover, Rogers’ execution at Florida State Prison in Raiford will mark the fifth execution in Florida this year and the 16th nationwide.
Despite desperate last-minute legal maneuvers by his attorneys, including claims that his blood disorder could cause “severe pain” during execution, both the Florida and U.S. Supreme Courts rejected his appeals.
The Florida Supreme Court determined any potential discomfort would be “likely within one minute,” a fleeting moment compared to the suffering endured by his victims.
Rogers’ brutal crime spree did not end with Cribbs. He also received a death sentence in California for murdering Sandra Gallagher, a 33-year-old mother of three whom he met at a Los Angeles bar before strangling her and setting her vehicle ablaze with her body inside.
He is additionally suspected of killings in Ohio, Mississippi, and Louisiana, bringing his potential victim count much higher.
“He’s an animal. He’s about the evilest thing I think I’ve ever imagined,” said one victim’s sister.
In a bizarre twist that further demonstrates his manipulative nature, the killer previously claimed responsibility for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, which were famously attributed to O.J. Simpson.
Law enforcement officials quickly dismissed these claims as attention-seeking fabrications designed to delay his execution.
After his 1995 arrest in Kentucky following a high-speed chase, Rogers also boasted about killing 70 women – claims that were never substantiated.
For the families of his victims, Rogers’ execution represents long-overdue closure.
Cribbs’ mother, Mary Dicke, has waited nearly 30 years for justice and expressed relief that her daughter’s killer will finally face punishment: “God is on my side. I hope he will remain on my side until I do see this done.”
The Florida Supreme Court aptly described Rogers as a “fledgling serial killer” whose murderous rampage was finally halted through solid police work.
After decades of taxpayer-funded appeals and legal maneuvering, justice for his victims and their families is finally within reach as Rogers faces the ultimate consequence for his heinous crimes.
Convicted murderer and Hamilton native Glen Rogers is set to die by lethal injection today.
Known as the "Casanova Killer" or the "Cross-Country Killer," he is convicted of murder in Florida and California and suspected in three other killings. @Local12 https://t.co/GBpSTq8xgN
