Casanova killer praises Trump in last words before execution.
A convicted serial murderer, infamously known as the “Casanova Killer,” made headlines during his final moments before execution on Thursday. Glen Rogers, who was sentenced to death in Florida, delivered a message of support to former President Donald Trump while strapped to a gurney at the Florida State Prison near Starke.
As the execution process commenced, Rogers stated, “President Trump, keep making America great,” before expressing his readiness to meet his fate. Florida officials reported that he was administered a lethal injection and subsequently pronounced dead at 6:16 PM. The entire execution procedure lasted approximately 16 minutes.
In the lead-up to his death, the 62-year-old Rogers reflected on his life and expressed gratitude for his wife, who had visited him earlier that day. He left behind an enigmatic statement, hinting at forthcoming answers to unspecified questions, though he provided no further elaboration.
Rogers was convicted in Florida for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two whom he had encountered at a bar. Additionally, he received a death sentence in California for the separate strangulation murder of Sandra Gallagher, another mother he met in a Van Nuys bar within weeks of Cribbs’ death. Law enforcement apprehended Rogers following a dramatic highway chase in Kentucky, during which he was found driving the vehicle owned by Gallagher.
Though Rogers initially claimed to have killed approximately 70 people—an assertion he later retracted—investigators believe he was responsible for the murders of at least four women. All identified victims were single mothers in their 30s, characterized by reddish hair. The geographical diversity of the murders, spanning states such as California, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida, contributed to Rogers’ dual monikers: the “Cross Country Killer” and the “Casanova Killer.” The latter name stemmed from his ability to seduce women with his charm and good looks.
In 2012, Rogers’ brother Clay collaborated with a criminal profiler to release a documentary titled “My Brother the Serial Killer,” which raised speculations about Rogers’ potential involvement in the notorious 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. The case continues to capture public and media interest, highlighting the complexities of criminal psychology and the often elusive nature of accountability in cases involving serial offenses.
