Glen Edward Rogers, a convicted serial killer known as the “Casanova Killer,” was executed by lethal injection on May 15, 2025, at Florida State Prison in Raiford. He was 62 years old and had been sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, one of several women he was accused of killing during a deadly crime spree across multiple states.
In his final moments, Rogers made a surprising statement, offering praise to former President Donald Trump. Strapped to the gurney and just seconds away from receiving the lethal injection, he looked up and said, “President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go.” His last words stunned witnesses in the room, including the family members of his victims. Some were left confused and unsettled by the unexpected political shout-out.
Rogers, who was dubbed the “Casanova Killer” due to his charm and good looks, had a history of luring women into trusting him before ultimately ending their lives. He was also sometimes referred to as the “Cross Country Killer” because his crimes spanned several states including California, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida. His known victims were mostly single mothers in their 30s, many of whom shared similar physical traits like red hair.
Among those tied to his killings were:
- Tina Marie Cribbs, 34, murdered in a Tampa hotel room.
- Sandra Gallagher, 33, killed in California after meeting Rogers in a bar.
- Linda Price, 34, found stabbed in Mississippi.
- Andy Lou Jiles Sutton, 37, stabbed in her home in Louisiana.
- Mark Peters, 72, whose body was discovered in a shack in Kentucky.
Despite claiming he had killed up to 70 people, including high-profile victims like Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, investigators found no evidence to support those statements.
In the execution chamber, Rogers also expressed love for his family and addressed the victims’ families, saying he hoped they would eventually find answers and closure.
Randy Roberson, the son of one of Rogers’ victims, said the mention of Trump took many by surprise. “I was like, ‘Where did that even come from?’” he told reporters. His wife Amy, who was also present, reacted with disbelief, saying, “What the hell?”
Rogers’ execution marked the 16th in the U.S. this year and the fifth in Florida alone. Three more executions are scheduled in the upcoming week in Texas, Indiana, and Tennessee.
Former President Trump has long been a strong advocate of capital punishment. During his presidency, he signed an executive order to resume federal executions, ending a long-standing moratorium. He has argued that the death penalty is a necessary deterrent and an appropriate punishment for the most violent criminals, including drug traffickers, cop killers, and human traffickers.
In the order, Trump stated, “Only capital punishment can bring justice and restore order in response to such evil.” His stance continues to spark debate among lawmakers, human rights groups, and the public.
As for Rogers, his legacy will remain as one of manipulation, violence, and controversy—even in his final moments.
