An alleged serial killer once reviewed possible links to the OJ Simpson case, which was riveted to the country in the mid-1990s, is scheduled to be executed Thursday in Florida for murdering a woman in a Tampa motel room.

Glen Rogers, 62, will be given a fatal injection at a Florida prison near Stark, but a last-day probation is prohibited. He was convicted in Florida on the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old child who met at a bar.

The U.S. Supreme Court denied Rogers' final appeal on Wednesday without comment.

Rogers will be the fifth inmate in Florida this year. According to the website of the Death Penalty Information Center, as of May 1, 15 people have been executed in the United States this year. The center reports that this is compared to 25 people in 2024.

He also sentenced a separate death penalty in California for strangling Sandra Gallagher in 1995, a mother of three who met him at a bar in Van Nuys in the state. That killing came weeks before the Cribs murder. Rogers drove Cribbs' car shortly after his death after chasing the highway in Kentucky.

Rogers was named a suspect, but has never been convicted in several other killings across the country, once told police that he had killed about 70 people. He later withdrew that claim, but was once the subject of a documentary, including a 2012 serial killer called My Brothers, which included his brother Clay and a criminal with a wide range of correspondences with Rogers.

The documentary raises questions about whether Rogers could lead to the stabbing death of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

The former football star and celebrity Simpson was acquitted during a murder trial that attracted media attention in 1995. Los Angeles police and prosecutors later said after the documentary release that they believed Rogers was not involved in the Simpson and Goldman Sachs killings.

Simpson, who had always claimed to be innocent, was later found liable for his death in another civil case and was then sentenced to nine years in jail for irrelevant charges. Simpson, 76, died in April 2024 after fighting cancer.

Originally from Hamilton, Ohio, Rogers has also been labeled as a "Casanova Killer" or a "off-road Killer" in various media reports. His so-called similar characteristics to the proven female victims: age in his 30s, petite frame and red hair.

Rogers' attorneys have filed several appeals in state and federal courts without success. One argument is that newly enacted state legislation authorized trafficking in young children, which clearly shows that he is now being taken seriously in the abuse he suffered and is dealing with Rogers' life sentence. This argument was rejected.

According to the Department of Corrections, Florida uses a three-toxic cocktail for a lethal injection: a sedative, a paralysis and a drug that stops the heart.

Anthony Wainwright is the next Florida prisoner scheduled for execution on June 10, guilty of a death warrant signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. Wainwright, 54, was sentenced in 1994 to kidnap a woman from a supermarket parking lot in Lake City and rape and kill her.
