In his final moments, serial killer Glen Rogers issued an 10-word statement of support for U.S. President Donald Trump. In addition to the president, Rogers also thanked his wife, who visited him earlier in the day at the prison.
During his cryptic goodbyes, the 62-year-old said, “In the near future, your questions will be answered.” After this, he mentioned Trump.
“President Trump, keep making America great,” he added before finally saying, ” I’m ready to go.” It was shortly after saying these words that Rogers was injected with the lethal concoction given to death row inmates in the state of Florida. It was shortly after the injection at 6:16 p.m. EDT that Rogers was pronounced dead.

It was previously reported by the Associated Press that Rogers was put to death after the brutal murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two he had met at a bar. Rogers had also gained another death sentence in California for the 1995 strangulation killing of Sandra Gallagher, a mother of three whom he had met at a bar in Van Nuys in that state.
Authorities say that the murder of Gallagher came weeks before the murder of Cribbs. According to the outlet, Rogers was picked up by police when he was pulled over by cops while he was driving Cribbs’ stolen car.
In addition to the two murders, it was suspected that Rogers had played a role in several other killings across the country. At one point, Rogers claimed that he had murdered 70 people. However, he later recanted the statement.
Rogers’ alleged kill count has been the subject of documentaries, including a 2012 one called “My Brother the Serial Killer,” which featured his brother, Clay, and a criminal profiler who corresponded extensively with Rogers. The documentary reportedly raised questions about whether Rogers could have been responsible for the 1994 stabbing deaths of O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.
A 1995 murder trial cleared the former NFL star of all charges. Los Angeles police and prosecutors subsequently said, after the documentary’s release, that they didn’t think Rogers had any involvement in the killings.
“We know who killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. We have no reason to believe that Mr. Rogers was involved,” the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement at the time. Until his death in 2024, Simpson continued to profess his innocence.
An archived report from the AP revealed that the sister of one of his victims called Rogers, “the evilest thing I think I’ve ever imagined.”
It was reported that the Ohio native was the 5th person to be put to death in Florida and the 16th person in the U.S. this year. In the run-up to his death, it was reported that Rogers’ lawyers filed several appeals with state and federal courts, none of which were successful.
One argument used by his lawyers to avoid the death sentence was a newly enacted state legislation, which authorized the death penalty for trafficking in young children, making clear that the abuse he suffered as a child is now taken seriously and should result in a life prison sentence for Rogers. It was swiftly rejected.
