A suspected serial killer once scrutinized for a possible link to the OJ Simpson case that riveted the nation in the mid-1990s is scheduled to be executed on Thursday in Florida for the murder of a woman in a Tampa motel room.

Glen Rogers, 62, is set to receive a lethal injection at Florida state prison near Starke, barring a last-day reprieve. He was convicted in Florida of the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two he had met at a bar.
