BURSTAn accused serial killer who was executed for murder in Florida on Thursday used his final words to express support for President Trump after offering comfort to his family and his victims' families.
"President Trump, keep making America great. I'm ready to go," Glen Rogers, 62, said just before he died by lethal injection for the murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two who he stabbed to death 30 years ago.
Rogers, an Ohio native, had been known as the "Casanova Killer" or the "Cross Country Killer" for his suspected role in a string of murders of young women across the U.S.
Reporters from the Tampa Bay Times and The Associated Press, who served as media witnesses to the execution, reported Rogers's statement of support for Trump.
The White House didn't immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.
Other witnesses were reportedly confused by the convicted killer's mention of Trump.
"I was like, 'Where did that even come from?'" Randy Roberson, who witnessed the execution because his mother Andy Lou Jiles Sutton was killed in the string of murders, told USA Today.
Rogers also was convicted of the strangling death of Sandra Gallagher, a mother of three who he had met at a bar, and he was considered a suspect in several other murders. He is believed to have killed at least four women and as many as 70, based on his past statements.
“I know there’s a lot of questions that you need answers to," he told his execution's witnesses before his praise of Trump. "I promise you in the near future the questions will be answered and I hope in someway will bring you closure."
