A suspected serial killer used his final words to offer praise for President Trump before he was executed inside a Florida prison Thursday for fatally stabbing a mother of two.
“President Trump, keep making America great,” convicted killer Glen Rogers said. “I’m ready to go.”
Rogers, 62, who killed Tina Marie Cribbs in 1995 after meeting her at a bar, also thanked his wife for visiting him earlier in the day and gave a cryptic message to his victims.
“I know there’s a lot of questions that you need answers to,” he said, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
“I promise you in the near future, the questions will be answered and I hope in some way will bring you closure.”
He then received a lethal injection at Florida State Prison and was pronounced dead at 6:16 p.m.
Rogers’ life was filled with violence and he was suspected of other slayings before he was arrested and convicted of Cribbs’ murder 30 years ago.
He was also convicted of the murder of mother of three Sandra Gallagher, whom he also met at a bar and killed three weeks before Cribbs.
Rogers was believed to be behind several more murders and once told police he killed about 70 people — a statement he later retracted.
He was known as the “Casanova Killer” or “Cross Country Killer” and many of his alleged or confirmed victims had red hair, petite frames and were in their 30s.
A documentary made by Rogers’ brother even speculated whether Rogers was the real killer who fatally stabbed OJ Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.
Los Angeles authorities made clear after the documentary aired in 2012 that they had “no reason to believe” Rogers committed the high-profile murders.
The ex-football star, who is now dead, was charged with the double homicide, but was shockingly found not guilty. He was later found civilly liable for their deaths.
Rogers’ final meal on Thursday was pizza, chocolate cake and a soda, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
Cribbs gave Rogers, a former carnival worker, a ride to a nearby carnival lot from the bar they were at, and was never seen alive again.
She was found dead two days later inside a hotel with two stab wounds, according to the newspaper.
“My life stopped in 1995,” the victim’s mother reportedly told the Tampa Tribune in 2011. “My daughter was everything to me.”
Rogers’ death was Florida’s fifth execution this year, with a sixth one set for June 10.
