After nearly 30 years on death row, “Casanova Killer” Glen Rogers will finally face justice today for his brutal murder spree across the United States.
Read the tweet below.
Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed the death warrant last month, clearing the way for lethal injection at Florida State Prison as both state and federal courts have rejected the serial killer’s last-minute appeals.
Rogers earned his sinister nickname by charming women in bars before viciously attacking them.
His world of terror included confirmed murders across five states, with Florida authorities convicting him for the 1995 stabbing death of Tina Marie Cribbs in Tampa.
The 34-year-old victim was found in a motel bathtub after Rogers befriended her at a local bar.
The Florida Supreme Court described Rogers as a “fledgling serial killer” whose execution by lethal injection would cause death “likely within one minute.”
This blunt assessment came as the court rejected Rogers’ attorneys’ claims that his rare blood disorder would make execution unusually painful.
Rogers also holds a death sentence in California for murdering Sandra Gallagher, a 33-year-old mother of three whom he met at a Los Angeles bar. He strangled her before setting her van on fire with her body inside.
🚨 Convicted Serial Killer Glen Edward Rogers has petitioned SCOTUS for a stay of execution.
The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday denied Rogers' a stay.

Throughout the Midwest and South, Rogers is suspected of killing at least five women, typically targeting single mothers with reddish hair.
After a nationwide manhunt, Rogers was captured following a high-speed chase in Kentucky in November 1995.
At the time, he made the outlandish claim of killing 70 women across the country. He later sought attention by claiming responsibility for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman – a claim the Los Angeles Police Department quickly dismissed as baseless.
For families of Rogers’ victims, the execution represents long-awaited justice. Mary Dicke, Tina Marie Cribbs’ mother, has waited decades to see her daughter’s killer face ultimate accountability.
After discovering her daughter missing when she failed to meet her for lunch, Dicke spent an hour and a half searching for her at the bar where they had planned to meet.
“God is on my side. I hope he will remain on my side until I do see this done,” Dicke, who has waited nearly 30 years for justice, stated.
Rogers’ defense team made numerous failed attempts to overturn his conviction, including claims of childhood abuse only revealed after sentencing and arguments about his mental health.
He lost three Florida appeals before Governor DeSantis signed his death warrant on April 16, 2025.
When executed, Rogers will become the 16th inmate put to death in the United States this year and the fifth in Florida.
His case highlights the importance of our justice system following through with capital punishment for the most heinous criminals, ensuring that victims’ families receive the closure they deserve after decades of waiting.
