After almost thirty years of legal battles, infamous serial killer Glen Rogers will finally receive the justice that America has long sought on May 15, 2025. Rogers, also known as “The Casanova Killer,” enticed women with his charm before ruthlessly killing them in several states, leaving a path of broken families in his wake. His execution serves as the ultimate punishment for his heinous crimes and represents a significant victory for American law and order.
A Deadly Predator Finally Faces Justice
Glen Rogers, 63, is scheduled to die by lethal injection at Florida State Prison in Raiford for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother whose body was found in a Tampa motel bathtub. Rogers earned his sinister nickname “The Casanova Killer” by targeting single women with reddish hair in bars, using his charm to gain their trust before robbing and murdering them.

Rogers’ killing spree spanned at least five states, including Florida, California, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Ohio, leaving a trail of at least five confirmed victims in just three months. His deadly rampage began in Los Angeles on September 28, 1995, with the murder of Sandra Gallagher, a 33-year-old mother of three whom he met at a bar, strangled, and then set her body ablaze in her car.
Serial Killer’s Desperate Final Attempts
Rogers’ attorneys have exhausted numerous appeals, including a recent claim that his rare blood disorder, porphyria, would cause him to suffer extreme pain during execution. Both the Florida Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court rejected these arguments, clearing the way for Governor Ron DeSantis’ death warrant, signed on April 16, 2025.

The Florida Supreme Court dismissed Rogers’ medical claims, stating any potential discomfort from the lethal injection drug etomidate would last “likely within one minute.” The same court has described Rogers as a “fledgling serial killer” whose pattern of violence warranted the ultimate punishment.
Families of Victims Await Closure
Mary Dicke, mother of victim Tina Marie Cribbs, has waited nearly 30 years for justice and plans to witness the execution. “God is on my side. I hope he will remain on my side until I do see this done,” Dicke told reporters, expressing the long-awaited closure that Rogers’ execution will bring to her family.
“He’s an animal. He’s about the evilest thing I think I’ve ever imagined,” stated one victim’s sister, reflecting the horror that Rogers inflicted on multiple families across America.
Rogers’ claims of having killed 70 women and his unsubstantiated boast of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were dismissed by law enforcement as attention-seeking fabrications. He previously received another death sentence in California for Sandra Gallagher’s murder. Still, he will face Florida’s justice first as the 16th inmate executed in the United States this year and the fifth in Florida.
The execution of this brutal serial killer demonstrates America’s commitment to protecting its citizens from the most dangerous predators in society. After decades of legal maneuvering, the families of Rogers’ victims will finally see justice served against a man who targeted vulnerable women and left communities terrorized across multiple states.
