Florida Executes Glen Edward Rogers—He Leaves A Message For Trump. Serial Killer, Last Meal & Words

Seeing both the electric chair and lethal injection, one has to admit that the electric chair was macabre. It arguably crossed the line of decency. However, in the case of Glen Edward Rogers, he murdered his victims in horrific ways—stabbing one and leaving her to die bleeding out in a bathtub. In contrast, he was placed on a gurney, went to sleep, and died. It doesn’t seem to comport with the violence he inflicted on those families every single day.

On May 15, 2025, Glenn Edward Rogers was executed by lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke, Florida. He was 62 years old and had been on death row for nearly 30 years. In this video, we are going to walk through everything: who he was, what he did, who his victims were, how he was caught, what happened at trial, and what his final words were before the drugs took hold. We will also examine the controversy that followed him to his grave—a mystery involving one of the most-watched murder cases in American history.

Early Life and the Roots of Violence

Glenn Edward Rogers was born on July 15, 1962, in Hamilton, Ohio, the youngest of seven children. While his father, Claude Rogers, worked at a paper company to support the working-class family, life behind closed doors was a different story. Rogers’ mother, Edna, was by most accounts cruel in terrifying ways. She once held Glenn’s head underwater in a bathtub, nearly drowning him, and on another occasion, she drove toward the edge of a cliff with her children in the car before pulling back at the last second.

Glenn grew up impulsive and reactive, struggling with ADHD and sleeping disorders. He was expelled from junior high before he was 16. By his teens, he had impregnated his 14-year-old girlfriend. They married and had two children, but by 1983, she filed for divorce, citing physical abuse. This established a pattern Rogers would follow for the rest of his life. By his early 30s, his criminal record included theft, pimping, assault, and multiple suicide attempts.

Tall, blonde, and green-eyed, Rogers possessed a smile that made people trust him. He was magnetic and charming, particularly toward women with reddish or strawberry-blonde hair—women who resembled his mother. However, when he drank, that charm evaporated, revealing something dark underneath. There are even accounts of him injecting beer directly into his own veins.

The First Signs: Mark Peters

Before the 1995 killing spree that made him infamous, a precursor occurred in 1993. Mark Peters, a 71-year-old retired electrician and veteran, took Rogers in. In October 1993, Peters went missing along with his car and valuables. On January 10, 1994, police found Peters’ remains in a Rogers family cabin in Beattyville, Kentucky. He had been bound to a chair and hidden under furniture. Although Rogers’ own brother, Clay, led investigators to the body, no charges were filed at the time. Rogers had already drifted west.

The 1995 Killing Spree

Over approximately six weeks in the autumn of 1995, Rogers killed at least four women across four states:

Victim 1: Sandra Gallagher (Van Nuys, California) On September 28, 1995, the 33-year-old mother of three met Rogers at McFadden’s Bar. The next morning, she was found strangled in her truck, which had been set on fire.
Victim 2: Linda Price (Jackson, Mississippi) In October, Rogers met 34-year-old Linda Price at the Mississippi State Fair. They briefly shared an apartment. On Halloween, she was found dead in her bathtub. Rogers was gone.
Victim 3: Tina Marie Cribbs (Tampa, Florida) On November 5, 1995, Rogers was seen leaving a bar with 34-year-old Tina Cribbs. Two days later, her body was found in a motel bathtub; she had been stabbed in the chest and back. Rogers had instructed the staff not to clean his room before fleeing in Cribbs’ white Ford Festiva.
Victim 4: Andy Giles Sutton (Bossier City, Louisiana) On November 9, 1994, Sutton’s body was found on a punctured waterbed in her apartment. She had been slashed. Rogers was again on the move, driving a dead woman’s car.

Capture and Conviction

By November 1995, Rogers was on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list. On November 13, a Kentucky State Police Detective spotted Cribbs’ stolen Ford Festiva. A high-speed chase ensued, ending when Sergeant Joey Barnes rammed the stolen vehicle, spinning Rogers into a ditch. Even as he was surrounded, Rogers defiantly threw an empty beer can at a police cruiser.

After his arrest, Rogers claimed to have committed nearly 70 murders, though he later dismissed this as a joke. He faced justice in two states:

Florida (1997): Convicted of the murder of Tina Marie Cribbs and sentenced to death.
California (1999): Convicted of the murder of Sandra Gallagher and sentenced to a second death penalty.

The O.J. Simpson Connection

In 2012, a documentary titled My Brother, the Serial Killer suggested a shocking claim: Rogers’ brother, Clay, alleged that Glenn had confessed to the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Rogers claimed O.J. Simpson had hired him to steal jewelry from Nicole’s home, allegedly telling him, “You may have to kill the bitch.”

While the documentary gained traction, the LAPD and the victims’ families, including Fred Goldman, dismissed the claims. They maintained that the evidence pointed solely to O.J. Simpson and that Rogers was likely seeking a different kind of infamy.

The Final Days and Execution

After decades of appeals regarding childhood abuse and the ethics of lethal injection, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Rogers’ death warrant in April 2025.

On May 15, 2025, Rogers woke at 3:45 a.m. He had a final visit with his wife and brother, though they were separated by glass. For his last meal, he requested pizza, chocolate cake, and a soda.

At 6:00 p.m., the curtain to the execution chamber opened. Rogers was compliant as the three-drug protocol was administered. Before the drugs took hold, he made a final, cryptic statement:

“I know there’s a lot of questions that you need answers to. I promise you in the near future the questions will be answered, and I hope in some way will bring you closure. President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go.”

At 6:16 p.m., Glenn Edward Rogers was pronounced dead.

Conclusion

For the families of Sandra Gallagher, Linda Price, Andy Giles Sutton, and Tina Marie Cribbs, the execution brought a long-awaited, if imperfect, closure. Some, like Linda Price’s sister, remained angry at his lack of remorse. Others, like Tina Cribbs’ mother, felt that justice—decades in the making—had finally been served.

Glenn Rogers spent his final moments as he spent his life: playing the room, dropping cryptic hints, and ensuring he remained the center of attention. Did he truly have more secrets to share, or was it one last act of manipulation?
