Florida Executes 'Casanova Killer' Glen Rogers Nearly 30 Years After Murders

Glen Rogers, known as the 'Casanova Killer,' is set to be executed by lethal injection in Florida for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, whose body was found stabbed in a Tampa motel room. Rogers, 62, was sentenced to death in 1997 for Cribbs' murder and received a second death sentence in California in 1999 for the murder of Sandra Gallagher. He reportedly told law enforcement he had killed up to 70 people, though many of these claims are considered exaggerated or false by investigators. Rogers was known for meeting women in bars, charming them, and then attacking them, a pattern that led to his nickname. Despite multiple attempts to overturn his convictions, including a recent motion rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court, Rogers' execution is scheduled for Thursday, marking Florida's fifth execution of the year. Authorities have linked him to other killings across several states, but he remains convicted primarily for the two murders in Florida and California.
