Hamilton’s Infamous “Casanova Killer” Executed
Glen Rogers, a convicted serial killer from Hamilton, Ohio, was executed by lethal injection in Florida’s State Prison. Consequently, the execution marked the end of a nearly three-decade saga for the man dubbed the “Casanova Killer” and “Cross Country Killer.”
A Trail of Violence
Rogers, 62, was sentenced to death in 1997 for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two, in a Tampa motel. Additionally, he faced a death sentence in California for killing Sandra Gallagher. Moreover, Rogers was suspected in multiple slayings, including the 1994 death of 71-year-old Mark Peters in Hamilton. However, he was never convicted for Peters’ murder, leaving families without closure.
Controversial Claims
Notably, Rogers once claimed involvement in the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, a theory explored in the 2012 documentary My Brother the Serial Killer. Nevertheless, the Los Angeles Police Department dismissed his involvement. Furthermore, Rogers’ claim of killing 70 people was later recanted, casting doubt on his confessions.
Final Appeals Fail
Despite numerous appeals, including arguments citing childhood abuse, Rogers’ fate was sealed when the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his final plea on Wednesday. Thus, Florida’s fifth execution of 2025 proceeded, closing a dark chapter for Hamilton. Ultimately, Rogers’ legacy remains a chilling reminder of unresolved justice
