Florida serial killer cheers Trump in his final words at execution
- Glen Rogers, a 62-year-old man on death row in Florida, was executed by lethal injection on May 15 at Florida State Prison for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs.
- Rogers was convicted after being caught driving Cribbs' car soon after her murder, and he was also sentenced to death in California for the 1995 killing of Sandra Gallagher by strangulation.
- Rogers, regarded as a suspected serial killer, at one time told authorities he was responsible for as many as 70 deaths nationwide, though he later withdrew that admission; he was also briefly connected to the O.J. Simpson investigation but was never convicted of additional murders.
- At 6:16 p.m., Rogers was pronounced dead after expressing his readiness to die and offering words of encouragement to President Trump to continue his efforts in improving the country.
- Rogers' execution was Florida's fifth in 2025, marking a continued use of capital punishment, with the next scheduled execution set for June 10 for Anthony Wainwright.
