Serial killer with link to OJ Simpson case sends bizarre message to Trump in final words before being put to death
A SERIAL killer once linked to the OJ Simpson murder case sent a message to Donald Trump in the final moments before he was executed.
Glen Rogers, who claimed to have killed up to 70 people, was put to death by lethal injection on Thursday at Florida State Prison.
The 62-year-old, dubbed the Casanova Killer due to his charm and good looks, was executed for the 1995 slaying of a woman in a Tampa motel.
He was also known as the Cross Country Killer after he was tied to murders across several states.
In his final words, the killer thanked his wife, who had visited him earlier that day.
He also offered a chilling remark, “In the near future, your questions will be answered.”

And his last words were, “President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go.”
Rogers lay still as he was injected with a three-drug cocktail with only his mouth slightly open. He made no further movements.
A prison staffer shook him by the shoulders and called his name to check if the execution was complete.
He was pronounced dead at 6:16 pm.

MURDER SPREE
Rogers was tied to five victims across four states - Tina Marie Cribbs, Sandra Gallagher, Mark Peters, Linda Price, and Andy Lou Jiles Sutton.
Four of his victims shared common traits - they were petite, red-haired single mothers in their 30s.
He was found guilty of first-degree murder in two separate trials, each involving the death of a different woman.
Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two, had met Rogers at a bar in Tampa shortly before her death, according to The .
She was found stabbed in a motel room and Rogers was caught days later in Kentucky driving her vehicle after a car chase.
Rogers was also convicted in California of killing another woman weeks earlier, Sandra Gallagher, a 33-year-old mom of three.
He strangled Gallagher after meeting her at a bar in the 1995 killing in Van Nuys.
Authorities had once eyed Rogers in several other unsolved murders across the US.
President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go.
Serial killer Glen Rogers
He once told police he had killed about 70 people, but later recanted.
Rogers gained wider attention after a 2012 documentary, My Brother the Serial Killer, raised questions about his possible involvement in the 1994 stabbing deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
The film featured his brother Clay and a profiler who had corresponded with Rogers.
Despite the speculation, the Los Angeles Police Department shut down any suggestion that Rogers was tied to the infamous murders.

Possible Others
- Rogers once claimed he killed up to 70 people, but later walked it back
- Dubbed the “Casanova Killer” for charming his victims
- Many of the women he was linked to were in their 30s, red-haired and petite
- Never charged in other cases, including the infamous O.J. Simpson double murder, though featured in a documentary raising the theory
“We know who killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. We have no reason to believe that Mr. Rogers was involved,” police said at the time.
OJ Simpson, who was acquitted in a highly publicized trial, was later found liable in a civil suit.
He served prison time on unrelated charges and died in April 2024 at age 76 after a cancer battle.
ROGERS THE KILLER
Rogers, originally from Hamilton, Ohio, 45 minutes from Cincinnati, tried to get his execution called off.
The US Supreme Court denied his final appeal on Wednesday with no comment.
His attorneys had pushed for life in prison, arguing new child trafficking laws show past abuse should be weighed more heavily. That was rejected.

Rogers became the fifth inmate executed in Florida this year.
The next execution, of Anthony Wainwright, is set for June 10 under a warrant signed by Governor Ron DeSantis.
