He received a lethal injection for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a mother of two who had encountered him at a bar in Gibsonton, Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Tina was found stabbed to death in a Tampa motel room nearly 30 years ago. Glen, who was 62 when he died, was suspected in multiple killings across the United States, but it was her case that sealed his fate.<\/p>\n<p>In his final moments, he addressed several people, including his wife, sons, grandchildren, brothers, and a lawyer who assisted him in his last legal efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Turning to the families of his victims, he said, \u201cI know there\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1761866\" data-uid=\"13891\">\n<div id=\"mgw1761866_13891\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgheader\">\n<p>He ended with a brief message to President Donald Trump, stating, \u201cKeep making America great. I\u2019m ready to go.\u201d Glen was declared dead at 6:16 p.m. Tina, a mother of two, had met Glen at Showtown USA, a bar and restaurant in Gibsonton, where he had spent the evening dancing, drinking, and chatting with patrons after checking into the nearby Tampa 8 Inn.<\/p>\n<p>Describing himself as a truck driver with a broken-down vehicle, Glen had rented Room 119 \u2014 where Tina would later be found, stabbed twice and left in the bathtub.<\/p>\n<p>She was originally a New Yorker who had moved to Gibsonton from Oklahoma and lived just three houses away from her mother. She had promised to return to the bar after offering Glen a ride to a carnival lot but never came back.<\/p>\n<p>Her mother, growing anxious, paged her daughter more than 30 times that night but received no reply. Two days later, a maid discovered Tina\u2019s lifeless body. The motel room was traced back to Glen, who had already fled. Days later, he was spotted driving Tina\u2019s stolen Ford Festiva in Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>After a high-speed chase, officers arrested him. Her discarded wallet, bearing his fingerprints, had been found at a highway rest stop in North Florida. Investigators also found Tina\u2019s DNA on blood-stained shorts in his possession.<\/p>\n<p>A screenshot of Tina Marie Cribbs from a post dated May 16, 2025. | Source: X\/Friday-Justice-Obsessions<br \/>\nA screenshot of Tina Marie Cribbs from a post dated May 16, 2025. | Source: X\/Friday-Justice-Obsessions<\/p>\n<p>Although Glen maintained in a jailhouse call that he had not killed anyone, the evidence told a different story. A Florida jury convicted him and unanimously recommended the death penalty. He was later sentenced to death in California for the murder of Sandra Gallagher, a woman who had been strangled and left in her burning pickup truck just weeks before Tina\u2019s killing.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities in several other states, including Mississippi, Louisiana, and California, had linked Glen to additional murders during a six-week stretch in 1995, although no further charges were brought.<\/p>\n<p>His execution was carried out under a death warrant signed by Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the state\u2019s fifth this year. The timing also coincided with the federal government\u2019s renewed push for capital punishment under the President\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n<p>Trump reinstated federal executions after his second inauguration through the \u201cRestoring the Death Penalty and Protecting Public Safety\u201d bill, emphasizing capital punishment as a \u201cdeterrent and only proper punishment for the vilest crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump during an executive order signing in the Oval Office in Washington, D.C. on February 11, 2025. | Source: Getty Images<br \/>\nPresident Donald Trump during an executive order signing in the Oval Office in Washington, D.C. on February 11, 2025. | Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>As the curtain lifted inside the prison\u2019s execution chamber at 6 p.m., Glen lay strapped to a gurney, staring at the ceiling. Gone was his long hair and full beard \u2014 he now sported a short haircut and light gray facial hair. Witnesses, including Suzy Lopez, the Hillsborough State Attorney, observed in silence.<\/p>\n<p>A white sheet covered most of his body, IV lines snaking into both arms. Three suited men stood nearby, one taking notes. The chemical cocktail began flowing at 6:02 p.m. Glen\u2019s eyes shut minutes later. At 6:06, the execution leader tried to rouse him by name, shaking his shoulder and touching his eyelids.<\/p>\n<p>When Glen didn\u2019t respond, a masked woman entered to confirm his condition. She examined him, then left. At 6:16 p.m., the execution leader announced, \u201cThe sentence in State of Florida versus Inmate Glen Rogers was carried out at 6:16 p.m.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the details of Glen\u2019s final day were as calculated as the crime that led him there. He woke at 3:45 a.m. and was given a last meal of pizza, chocolate cake, and soda. A visit from his wife followed.<\/p>\n<p>His brother Claude drove in from Kentucky for a final meeting but left early, unsettled by the impersonal setting of their last interaction. \u201cI said my goodbyes to him,\u201d Claude told the Tampa Bay Times. \u201cHe\u2019s my brother and I love him. I asked God to guide him on this next journey.\u201d Glen remained calm throughout the day, according to prison officials.<\/p>\n<p>It is unknown whether Tina\u2019s family attended the execution. However, the family of Andy Jiles Sutton, one of the women Glen is suspected of killing, released a statement afterward. \u201cFinally, after Glen being in prison for the past 28 years, my family, along with the other victims\u2019 families will be able to have some type of closure to the nightmare created by this monster,\u201d wrote Randy, Andy\u2019s son.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his final statement, he expressed love for his family, addressed the victims\u2019 families, and delivered a parting message to Donald Trump.
