'Casanova killer' set to be executed nearly 30 years after murder spree
Share and Follow

The man who was dubbed the “Casanova Killer” is set to be executed after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed his death warrant last month, nearly three decades after the crimes.

Glen Rogers, 62, a self-proclaimed serial killer who once told a law enforcement official he had killed 70 women, will be put to death on Thursday by lethal injection.

Rogers was dubbed the “Casanova Killer” because he had a habit of meeting women in local bars, charming them and getting them into his car before attacking. 

Here is a timeline of Rogers’ murder spree: 

Rogers sentenced for 1994 death of Tina Marie Cribbs

A jury sentenced Rogers to death back in 1997 after convicting him of first-degree murder, armed robbery and grand theft of a motor vehicle following the death of 34-year-old Tina Marie Cribbs, People reported.

Rogers received second death sentence for 1999 murder of Sandra Gallagher

Rogers received another death sentence in California in 1999 for the murder of Sandra Gallagher. According to The Associated Press, he met her at a Van Nuys bar in September 1995 and a day later, her badly burned corpse was found in her truck near Rogers’ apartment.

Rogers claims to have killed 70 women; brother claims Rogers also killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman

While in custody, Rogers also claimed to be responsible for the murder of 70 women. Then, years later, his brother said 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 dismissed that claim and was confident someone else was responsible for their deaths, The Associated Press reported.

DeSantis signs death warrant on April 16, 2025, after Rogers lost three previous appeals in Florida

On April 16, DeSantis signed a death warrant for Rogers, who has also been suspected in other homicides across the country. 

He is suspected of killing at least five people in five different states, including Florida, California, Ohio, Mississippi and Louisiana.

Rogers’ attorneys argued he was abused as a child, and that those memories were only unlocked well after he was sentenced, FOX 13 reported.

Rogers is set to be executed by lethal injection on Thursday at Florida State Prison near Starke.
