The Infamous Casanova Killer: Glen Rogers Executed for Murder
Glen Rogers, also known as the “Casanova Killer,” was put to death at the age of 62 for the 1995 slaying of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two. Rogers, who had previously boasted of killing 70 women, was only convicted of two murders. His victims shared similar characteristics: women in their 30s, petite frames, and red hair.
On Thursday, May 15, Rogers was strapped to an execution gurney where his last words were a surprising shout-out to President Trump, saying, “President Trump, keep making America great.” He then calmly stated, “I’m ready to go.”
The lethal injection process took just 16 minutes, with witnesses noting that Rogers remained still with his mouth slightly open throughout the procedure.
After the execution, there was confusion over Rogers’ final message. Randy Roberson, a witness and son of one of Rogers’ victims, expressed bewilderment at the mention of Trump. His wife, Amy Roberson, echoed the sentiment, wondering about the unexpected reference.
In a shocking twist, Rogers had previously claimed responsibility for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. In a letter to Simpson’s manager in 2014, Rogers reiterated his assertion, supported by his brother Clay’s belief that Glen was the real killer. Clay claimed to have evidence of Glen’s presence at Nicole’s home before her death and even alleged that Glen sent a gold angel pin from the crime scene to their mother.
Norman Pardo, Simpson’s former manager, supported Rogers’ claim, suggesting that law enforcement had overlooked Rogers as a suspect to protect the high-profile O.J. Simpson case. However, the LAPD maintained their stance that they were confident in the identity of Nicole and Ron’s killer and had no reason to believe Rogers was involved.
Despite his execution, Glen Rogers’ legacy as the Casanova Killer and his alleged connections to high-profile murders continue to intrigue and shock the public.
