TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed the death warrant for Glen Rogers, a man convicted of murder in Florida and California, including the murder of a woman in a Tampa hotel room 30 years ago.
In addition to his convictions, Rogers, also known as the Casanova Killer or Cross Country Killer, is suspected of several murders across the U.S.
Rogers claimed to be responsible for the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, according to a 2012 documentary. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said the agency would look into the matter, but was confident that someone else had killed them.

The death row inmate was convicted in 1997 after he was found guilty of robbing and murdering Tina Marie Cribbs. The two were seen leaving a Gibsonton bar, located just outside of Tampa, in November 1995.
The woman was found stabbed to death in a hotel bathroom two days later.
Rogers received another death sentence in California in 1999. He met Sandra Gallagher at a Van Nuys bar in September 1995. Her badly burned corpse was found in her truck a day later near Rogers’ apartment.
He is set to be executed at Florida State Prison in Raiford during the week of May 15.
