Glen Rogers - Murders

Murders

Authorities suspected Rogers in the stabbing or strangling of an elderly man from Ohio in 1993 and four women in California, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana. He originally claimed that the number of murders was closer to 70, but then later recanted his statement, claiming he was joking and had not committed any murders at all.

• Mark Peters (Hamilton, Ohio) - suspected victim

On January 10, 1994, Police recovered the remains of 71-year-old Mark Peters, retired electrician and veteran, in a cabin belonging to the family of Glen Rogers in Beattyville, Kentucky. Peters had taken Glen Rogers in and allowed him to live in his home prior to October 1993 when Mark Peters was reported missing along with his car and several valuable personal items including antiques, guns, and a collection of coins. Rogers had disappeared as well and it was reportedly his brother Clay that lead the police to search the family cabin for potential clues and subsequently leading to the discovery of Mr. Peters' skeleton which was found bound to a chair and covered by a pile of furniture.

• Sandra Gallagher (Los Angeles, California)

On September 28, 1995, Sandra Gallagher, a 33-year-old mother of three, crossed paths with Rogers at McRed's, a Van Nuys bar. The next day, Gallagher's strangled and badly burned corpse was found in her car near Rogers' Van Nuys apartment. Authorities allege that after murdering Gallagher, Rogers moved on to Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida, killing a woman in each state.

• Linda Price (Jackson, Mississippi)

Kathy Carroll, Price's sister, said Price had met Rogers at a tent where beers were being served at the Mississippi State Fair. She remembered that her sister would repeatedly say, "Ain't he good-looking?" Rogers and Price briefly shared an apartment in Jackson. The last time Carroll saw her sister was the night before Halloween, 1995 when the two were planning to have Carroll's grandchildren go trick-or-treating at Price's apartment. However, the next day, Price did not answer her door and Rogers was gone. Similar to the other killings, Price and Rogers met over drinks; and, like the other women, Price was in her 30's and had red hair. Like Cribbs, she was also found dead in a bathtub.

• Tina Marie Cribbs (Tampa, Florida)

On November 5, 1995, Cribbs was seen leaving the Showtown Barn in Tampa, Florida, with Rogers. A bartender told police that Rogers had bought Cribbs and her friends drinks and was later asked for a ride by Rogers. Two days later, a member of the cleaning staff in a Tampa motel found Cribbs' body; she had been stabbed in the chest and the buttocks. A clerk at the motel told authorities that Rogers had arrived at the motel a few days before the murder; on November 5, Rogers paid for an extra night and asked that no one clean his room. The clerk then saw Rogers putting his belongings into a white Ford Festiva. The next day, Cribbs' wallet was discovered at a rest area in North Florida; the fingerprints lifted from her wallet and the motel room were matched to Rogers. On November 13, Rogers was arrested in Kentucky driving Tina’s car, which he claimed had been loaned to him. He also said that Cribbs was alive when he left. On July 11, 1997, Rogers was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of Tina Marie Cribbs.

• Andy Jiles Sutton (Bossier City, Louisiana)

Sutton was a known acquaintance of Rogers. Her slashed body was found on November 9, 1995, on a punctured waterbed in her apartment.
