Killer's Last Words: ‘President Trump, Keep Making America Great. I'm Ready To Go'
Source: Anadolu / Getty Imagine being so indoctrinated in the cult of Trump that you use your last words to praise a man you've never met. 'President Trump, keep making America great. I'm ready to go,' Glen Rogers, 62, said moments before receiving a lethal injection. Also, what does it mean to Donald Trump that a suspected serial killer is a constituent? Probably nothing, but it's important to note that an evil man spent his last breath praising another evil man. On Thursday, Rogers was executed for the 1995 death of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two. 'The lethal injection began after his message to Trump, and he lay quietly through the procedure, NBC News reports. 'The execution took place at Florida State Prison near Starke. Rogers was pronounced dead at 6:16 p.m., authorities said.' Rogers, once linked as a possible suspect in the O.J. Simpson murder case, was suspected of being a serial killer. According to reports, Rogers met Cribbs at a bar, and her body was later found in a motel room in Tampa. From NBC News: Rogers also had drawn a separate death sentence in California for the 1995 strangulation killing of Sandra Gallagher, a mother of three whom he had met at a bar in Van Nuys, California. That killing came weeks before the Cribbs murder. Rogers was stopped after a highway chase in Kentucky while driving Cribbs' car soon after her death. Rogers was named as a suspect but never convicted in several other slayings around the country, once telling police he had killed about 70 people. He later recanted that statement, but had been the subject of documentaries including one from 2012 called 'My Brother the Serial Killer' that featured his brother Clay and a criminal profiler who had corresponded extensively with Rogers. The documentary raised questions about whether Rogers could have been responsible for the 1994 stabbing deaths of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. During a 1995 murder trial that drew intense media attention, the former football star and celebrity Simpson was acquitted of all charges. Los Angeles police and prosecutors subsequently said after the documentary's release that they didn't think Rogers had any involvement in the Simpson and Goldman killings. 'We know who killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. We have no reason to believe that Mr. Rogers was involved,' the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement at the time. Simpson, who died in 2024 after a battle with cancer, had always proclaimed his innocence. Rogers, who was originally from Ohio, was dubbed the 'Casanova Killer' or 'Cross Country Killer' by the media, as his alleged and 'proven female victims had similar characteristics: ages in their 30s, a petite frame and red hair.' Rogers woke on the day of his death at 3:45 a.m. His last meal was pizza, chocolate, and a soda. And his last words, his final words before his death, would be to praise a man so divisive that only another evil person would waste their final breath on him.

One of Glen Rogers' victims was a Louisiana woman. The serial killer has now been executed
Glen Rogers, a serial killer known as the "Casanova Killer," was executed by lethal injection in Florida on Thursday, May 15. Rogers received the death penalty for the murder of 34-year-old Tina Marie Cribbs in Florida, however, she was not his only victim. Rogers was also referred to as the "Cross Country Killer," as all of his victims lived in different states, including California, Mississippi, Louisiana, as well as Florida. In 1995, Rogers traveled to Louisiana, where he met Andy Lou Jiles Sutton, a 37-year old mother of four who was described as "a very beautiful redhead" and having an outgoing personality. Authorities believe that Rogers met Sutton at the It'll Do Lounge in Bossier City. On Nov. 9, 1995, Sutton was found stabbed to death in her bed. Rogers was prosecuted for murders in California and Florida, but did not go to trail in Mississippi or Louisiana because he was already facing a death penalty in Florida. Mark Peters: 72-year-old retired electrician, whom Rogers lived with briefly, who was found dead in shack in Jan. 1994 in Beattyville, Kentucky. Sandra Gallagher: 33-year-old mother of three who was killed on Sept. 28, 1994 in Van Nuys, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. Gallagher met Rogers in a bar the night of her murder and was later found burning in her vehicle.

Convicted serial killer executed in Florida
A 62-year-old man known as the 'Cross-Country Killer' was executed by lethal injection in the southern US state of Florida on Thursday. Glen Rogers was put to death at 6:16 p.m. (2216 GMT) at the Florida State Prison in Raiford for the November 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs and other murders. Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two children, was stabbed to death and her body was found in a hotel bathtub. Rogers was also convicted of the murder in that same year of Sandra Gallagher, 33, in California and was a suspect in the murders of at least two other women, one in Mississippi and another in Louisiana. There have now been 16 executions in the United States this year: 12 by lethal injection, two by firing squad, and two using nitrogen gas. The death penalty has been abolished in 23 of the 50 US states, while three others—California, Oregon, and Pennsylvania—have moratoriums in place. President Donald Trump is a proponent of capital punishment and, on his first day in office, called for an expansion of its use 'for the vilest crimes.'

Suspected serial killer has six-word message for Trump moments before execution
WARNING DISTRERSSING CONTENT: Glen Rogers, 62, became the fifth inmate put to death in Florida this year and he had a very unusual message for Donald Trump moments before his death A suspected serial killer used his last breath to share a cryptic message to Donald Trump before his execution. On Thursday, May 15 Glen Rogers, 62, received a lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke and was pronounced dead at 6:16pm local time, authorities said. He was convicted in Florida of the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two he had met at a bar and was once scrutinized for a possible link to the O.J. Simpson case. But he also had drawn a separate death sentence in California for the 1995 strangulation killing of mother-of-three Sandra Gallagher, which came weeks before Tina's murder. In a final statement, Rogers thanked his wife, who visited him earlier in the day at the prison, according to visitor logs. He also somewhat cryptically said that 'in the near future, your questions will be answered' without going into detail. He also said, 'President Trump, keep making America great. I'm ready to go.' The entire execution took 16 minutes. Once it began, Rogers hardly moved, only lying still with his mouth slightly open. At one point, a staff member grasped him by the shoulders, shook him and yelled, 'Rogers, Rogers' to see if he was conscious. No family members of the Florida victim spoke to the press afterwards. Rogers was named as a suspect but never convicted in several other killings around the country, once telling police he had killed about 70 people. He later recanted that statement, but had been the subject of documentaries, including one from 2012 called 'My Brother the Serial Killer' that featured his brother Clay and a criminal profiler who had corresponded extensively with Rogers. The documentary raised questions about whether Rogers could have been responsible for the 1994 stabbing deaths of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Los Angeles police and prosecutors subsequently said after the documentary's release that they didn't think Rogers had any involvement in the Simpson and Goldman killings. Rogers, originally from Hamilton, Ohio, had also been labeled the 'Casanova Killer' or 'Cross Country Killer' in various media reports. Some of his alleged and proven female victims had similar characteristics: ages in their 30s, a petite frame and red hair. The U.S. Supreme Court had denied Rogers' final appeals on Wednesday without comment. Rogers' lawyers have filed several unsuccessful appeals with state and federal courts. One argument was that newly enacted state legislation authorizing the death penalty for trafficking in young children makes clear that the abuse he suffered as a child is now taken seriously and should result in a life prison sentence for Rogers. That argument was rejected.
