Authorities in Hamilton, Ohio suspected Rogers of fatally stabbing or strangling an elderly man in that city in 1993. Later Rogers moved away from Ohio, surfacing in California. Subsequently, in 1995, he was named as a suspect in the murders of four women that year: in California, Mississippi, Florida, and Louisiana, respectively. After being arrested in Kentucky following a vehicle pursuit on November 13, 1995, Rogers originally told police that he had committed nearly 70 murders. He recanted his statement, claiming he was only joking and had not actually committed any murders.
Mark Peters (Hamilton, Ohio) On January 10, 1994, police recovered the remains of 71-year-old Mark Peters, a retired electrician and veteran, in a cabin belonging to the family of Glen Rogers in
Beattyville, Kentucky. Before October 1993 Peters had taken Glen Rogers in and allowed him to share his home in Hamilton. That month Peters was reported missing, along with his car and several valuable personal items, including antiques, guns, and a collection of coins. Rogers had disappeared. His brother Clay reportedly led police to search the family cabin for clues. Peters's remains were found there, bound to a chair and hidden by a pile of furniture.
Sandra Gallagher (Los Angeles, California) On September 28, 1995, Sandra Gallagher, a 33-year-old mother of three, was observed encountering Rogers at McRed's bar in
Van Nuys, California. The next day, Gallagher's badly burned corpse was found in her truck parked near Rogers's
Van Nuys apartment. She was found to have been strangled. Authorities allege that after murdering Gallagher, Rogers fled to the Southeast, living for a time in Mississippi, Florida, and Louisiana. In each state, he was suspected of the murder of another woman.
Linda Price (Jackson, Mississippi) According to Kathy Carroll, her sister Linda Price met Rogers at a beer tent at the
Mississippi State Fair in fall 1995. Linda repeatedly said: "Ain't he good-looking?" Rogers and Price briefly shared an apartment in
Jackson, Mississippi. Price was a single mother age 34 with two children, then 15 and 18. The last time Carroll saw her sister was the night before Halloween 1995. The two planned to have Carroll's grandchildren go trick-or-treating at Price's apartment, but Price did not answer her door on Halloween, and Rogers appeared to have left. Similar to his other suspected female victims, Price was in her 30s and had red hair. She was found dead in a bathtub in her apartment. He was incarcerated in
Union Correctional Institution on
death row.
