The Serial Killer’s Final Message: ‘Keep Making America Great’

A Silence Before Death

Thursday evening in Florida, behind the walls of the Florida State Prison, 62-year-old Glen Rogers was executed by lethal injection.

This was the culmination of a criminal career spanning three decades and involving murders across several U.S. states.

His final words were an unexpected political salutation: “President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go.“

A Life of Violence and Flight

Rogers was convicted for the murder of Tina Marie Cribbs in 1995. The 34-year-old mother of two met him in a bar in Tampa, Florida.

A few hours later, she was found murdered in a motel room.

Shortly before, he had killed Sandra Gallagher in California.

She was found strangled and burned in her car. After an intense manhunt, Rogers was captured in Kentucky in Cribbs’ car.

He acquired nicknames such as the “Casanova Killer” and “Cross Country Killer” and was linked to a series of unsolved female murders.

At one point, he claimed to have killed around 70 people, a claim he later retracted.

His story became the subject of the documentary “My Brother the Serial Killer,” wherein both his brother and a criminal profiler attempted to understand the patterns behind his crimes.

A Final Mystery

The execution proceeded quietly, but Rogers managed to leave a remark that now stirs speculations:

“In the near future, your questions will be answered.” It is unclear what he meant, but many wonder whether it was a reference to unsolved cases.

Rogers also caught media attention in connection with the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Although the documentary suggested he could be involved, the Los Angeles police maintained: “We know who killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. We have no reason to believe Mr. Rogers was involved.”

A Life That Ended in Silence

On his last day, Rogers woke early, met with his wife, and chose a final meal consisting of pizza, chocolate, and soda. The execution was carried out at 6:00 PM local time, and at 6:16 PM, he was pronounced dead.
