Glen Edward Rogers (born July 15, 1962), is an American convicted serial killer. He was also convicted of related crimes in Florida and California, such as armed robbery, grand theft auto, and arson. Also known as "The Cross Country Killer" or "The Casanova Killer", he was convicted of first-degree murder at two separate trials in the deaths of two women (the first in Florida in 1997 and the second in California in June 1999). He is a suspect in numerous other murders throughout the United States. After a crime spree that began on September 28, 1995, with Rogers's first authoritatively established murder, he was featured on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. He was sentenced to death in both Florida and California. He has been incarcerated since 1997 at Union Correctional Institution in Raiford, Florida, where he is held on death row. According to a 2012 cable-TV documentary, Rogers claimed that he committed the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, though O. J. Simpson was acquitted in a criminal trial. Early life Rogers was born and raised in Hamilton, Ohio. He was one of seven children born to Edna (née Sears) and Claude Rogers. Among his siblings is a brother Clay. Their father Claude was a hydro pulp operator at the local Champion paper company. Rogers was expelled from his junior high school before he was 16. Sometime after his expulsion, his 14-year-old girlfriend Deborah Ann Nix got pregnant. The young couple married. They had another child together in 1981. In 1983, Nix filed for divorce, alleging physical abuse by Rogers. Murders Authorities in Hamilton, Ohio suspected Rogers of fatally stabbing or strangling an elderly man in that city in 1993. Later Rogers moved away from Ohio, surfacing in California. In 1995, he was named as a suspect in the murders of four women that year: in California, Mississippi, Florida, and Louisiana, respectively. After being arrested in Kentucky on November 13, Rogers originally told police he had committed nearly 70 murders. He recanted his statement. He said he was joking and had not committed any murders. Mark Peters (Hamilton, Ohio) – suspected victim On January 10, 1994, police recovered the remains of 71-year-old Mark Peters, a retired electrician and veteran, in a cabin belonging to the family of Glen Rogers in Beattyville, Kentucky. Peters had earlier taken Glen Rogers in and allowed him to share his home in Hamilton before October 1993. That month Peters was reported missing, along with his car and several valuable personal items, including antiques, guns, and a collection of coins. Rogers had disappeared. His brother Clay reportedly led police to search the family cabin for clues. Peters's remains were found there, bound to a chair and hidden by a pile of furniture. Sandra Gallagher (Los Angeles, California) On September 28, 1995, Sandra Gallagher, a 33-year-old mother of three, was seen to encounter Rogers at McRed's bar in Van Nuys, California. The next day, Gallagher's badly burned corpse was found in her truck parked near Rogers's Van Nuys apartment. She was found to have been strangled. Authorities allege that after murdering Gallagher, Rogers fled to the Southeast, living for a time in Mississippi, Florida, and Louisiana. In each state, he was suspected of the murder of another woman. On June 22, 1999, Rogers was convicted in California of murdering Gallagher. He was already serving time in Florida for the murder of a woman there. On July 16, 1999, California sentenced him to death. Linda Price (Jackson, Mississippi) According to Kathy Carroll, her sister Linda Price met Rogers at a beer tent at the Mississippi State Fair in fall 1995. Linda repeatedly said: "Ain't he good-looking?" Rogers and Price briefly shared an apartment in Jackson, Mississippi. Price was a single mother age 34 with two children, then 15 and 18. The last time Carroll saw her sister was the night before Halloween 1995. The two planned to have Carroll's grandchildren go trick-or-treating at Price's apartment. But Price did not answer her door on Halloween, and Rogers appeared to have left. Similar to his other suspected female victims, Price was in her 30s and had red hair. She was found dead in a bathtub in her apartment. Tina Marie Cribbs (Tampa, Florida) On November 5, 1995, Cribbs was seen leaving the Showtown Bar in Gibsonton, Florida with Rogers. A bartender told police that Rogers had bought drinks for Cribbs and her friends. Later he asked Cribbs for a ride. Two days later, a member of the cleaning staff at the Tampa 8 Inn discovered Cribbs's body in a bathtub (like that of Price in Mississippi). She had been stabbed in the chest and the buttocks. A clerk at the motel told authorities that Rogers had arrived at the motel a few days before the murder. On November 5, Rogers had paid for an extra night and asked that his room not be cleaned. The clerk saw Rogers putting his belongings into a white Ford Festiva. The next day, Cribbs's wallet was discovered at a rest area in North Florida. Police found that fingerprints lifted from her wallet and the motel room matched those of Rogers. On November 13, Rogers was arrested in Kentucky while driving Cribbs's car. He claimed that Cribbs had loaned it to him and that she was alive when he left Tampa. On July 11, 1997, Rogers was convicted in Florida and sentenced to death for the murder of Tina Marie Cribbs. He was incarcerated in Union Correctional Institution on death row. Andy Jiles Sutton (Bossier City, Louisiana) Sutton was a known acquaintance of Rogers. Her slashed body was found on November 9, 1995, on a punctured waterbed in her apartment in Bossier City, Louisiana. The four women shared similarities in appearance. Each had reddish hair and was in her 30s. Arrest, sentence, and appeals Rogers drove north from Louisiana and was arrested in Waco, Kentucky after a 13-mile (20 km) chase on November 13, 1995. Kentucky State Police Detective Bob Stephens noticed a man driving Cribbs's stolen car. He chased him, followed by rookie Irvine, Kentucky police officer Charles Cox. Trooper Ed Robinson and other officers set up a roadblock to stop Rogers. Robinson fired a shotgun blast that hit the rear tires but it didn't stop Rogers. Robinson joined the pursuit. Sgt. Joey Barnes (who formerly served with Florida Highway Patrol) rammed his patrol car into Cribbs's stolen car and spun Rogers off the highway into a ditch. Stephens, Cox, Robinson, Barnes, and other officers surrounded Rogers and arrested him. A local TV news crew filmed Rogers's chase and arrest on the scene. After being convicted and sentenced to death for Cribbs's murder, Rogers was scheduled to be executed on Valentine's Day 1999 in Florida. He has filed various appeals, but these have been denied.
