Glen Edward Rogers, a serial killer who claimed he acted as O.J. Simpson’s accomplice in the infamous 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, was executed in a Florida prison last month by lethal injection. He was 62.
Rogers, who was convicted for the unrelated 1995 murder of waitress Tina Marie Cribbs, spent years on death row. He became known as the “Casanova Killer” and “Cross Country Killer” for slaying multiple women across four states. While awaiting his execution, he confessed to playing a direct role in the brutal Beverly Hills killings that rocked America three decades ago.
O.J. Simpson murder conspiracy resurfaces
In a chilling confession, Rogers claimed he helped O.J. Simpson eliminate Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman at her Los Angeles condo on June 12, 1994. He allegedly acted on instructions from Simpson’s inner circle, including the late Robert Kardashian.
According to Simpson’s former manager, Norman Pardo, Rogers had been hired to “scare off” Nicole’s drug contacts because Simpson was tired of funding her alleged $30,000 habit. But Rogers claimed the situation spiraled out of control, leading to the double homicide that remains one of the most debated cases in U.S. legal history.
Sources familiar with Rogers’ accounts said he described the murder night in detail, allegedly telling Pardo that he personally helped O.J. kill Nicole and Ron.
Simpson, who died of prostate cancer in 2023 at age 76, was acquitted in 1995 after a televised trial. He was later found liable for the killings in a 1997 civil case, with a $33.5 million judgment awarded to the victims’ families.
Final apology and strange last words
In 2013, Rogers wrote a prison letter apologizing to Simpson. He expressed remorse for the incident, suggesting Simpson was punished for a crime the public believes he committed, not the one he was convicted of.
Despite Rogers’ confession, authorities never officially linked him to the Simpson case. The families of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman have always maintained Simpson acted alone.
Before his execution on May 15, Rogers dined on pizza, chocolate cake, and soda. His final words—”President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go”—added one last layer of bizarre to a life marked by violence and infamy.
Rogers once claimed he had killed up to 70 people, though only five murders were officially confirmed. His name will forever remain connected to one of the most sensational crimes in American history—whether as a liar seeking notoriety or as an accomplice in the crime of the century.
