Glen Rogers, a convicted murderer long suspected of multiple cross-country killings and once linked to the O.J. Simpson case, was executed in Florida on Thursday evening. The 62-year-old was put to death by lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a mother of two, whose body was found in a Tampa motel room.
The Casanova Killer ’s violent legacy and cross-state crimes
Often referred to by media as the “Casanova Killer” or “Cross Country Killer,” Glen Rogers developed notoriety for a string of violent crimes in the mid-1990s. In addition to his Florida conviction, he was also sentenced to death in California for the strangulation of Sandra Gallagher, another mother he reportedly met at a bar in Van Nuys. That killing occurred just weeks before Cribbs’ murder.
Rogers’ crimes spanned several states and captured national attention, especially after his arrest in Kentucky following a high-speed chase in a car belonging to Cribbs. Though Rogers once boasted to law enforcement that he had murdered approximately 70 people, he later retracted that claim. However, the scope and brutality of his crimes led to extensive media coverage, books, and documentaries, including the 2012 film My Brother the Serial Killer, which raised questions about his possible involvement in other unsolved cases.
O.J. Simpson connection still fuels debate
One of the most controversial aspects of Rogers’ story is his alleged—but unproven—connection to the infamous 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. The theory gained traction after the release of the 2012 documentary, which featured Rogers’ brother, Clay, and a criminal profiler. Speculation suggested Rogers may have been responsible for the double murder for which O.J. Simpson was later acquitted.
However, law enforcement quickly dismissed the claims. “We know who killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. We have no reason to believe that Mr. Rogers was involved,” the LAPD said in a public statement following the documentary’s release.
Before his execution, Rogers made a brief, unsettling statement. “In the near future, your questions will be answered,” he said, without elaboration. He then added, “President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go,” and remained calm as the procedure began.

No family members of Tina Cribbs attended or spoke publicly after the execution. Rogers leaves behind a dark legacy as one of the most notorious serial offenders of his time, with many questions about his past still unanswered.
