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

The individual known as the “Casanova Killer” is slated for execution after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed his death warrant last month, following nearly 30 years since the offenses.

Sixty-two-year-old Glen Rogers, a self-professed serial killer who once claimed to a law enforcement officer that he had murdered 70 women, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Thursday.

Rogers earned the moniker “Casanova Killer” due to his pattern of meeting women in local bars, charming them, and luring them into his vehicle before carrying out his attacks.

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.
