House Painter for Nicole Brown Had Serial Murder Background
'Cross Country Killer' -The Glen Rodgers Story ^ | December 5, 2001 | Joyce Spizer and Claude Rodgers Jr.

Posted on 12/05/2001 7:22:24 AM PST by codebreaker

The Cross Country Killer, the Glen Rodgers story provides an insighful look into the mind and making of an American predator.

Glen Rodgers, twice on America's most 10 Wanted List, is currently on Death Row in Florida.

He brags about having killed 70 people, one of which may have been Nicole Brown Simpson.

Could it be a coincedence she was murdered just after meeting Glen?

There are witnesses who saw them partying together and there's even a photo of them together.

A sad but fascinating story that will keep you mesmorized till the end.

That's what the blitz attack is all about. Here's the basic scenario:
Ron (you) is over there for whatever reason. We know he's at least friends with Nicole and possibly they may have been lovers at one point but the establishment of that has been shaky at best (there's been as much "solid" evidence for as against).
OJ comes over, he did that a lot they lived in the same neighborhood and was still on publicly friendly terms with his ex-wife. You know him, he's OJ Simpson was a football player, in a lot of bad movies and Hertz commercial, decent guy.
Well Nicole and OJ start exchanging words, things get a little heated, they get taken outside for whatever reason (memory is getting shaky here, weren't their kids in the house?). You go out with them for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that you probably want to get out of there, nobody likes being around while other people are fighting. You maybe also know that OJ had beat her in the past so maybe you're figuring on protecting her if things go too far.
Things are getting really ugly now, maybe OJ is accusing you of sleeping with her. Maybe he's threatening to kick your ass for it. So you get into a fighting posture. At this juncture you're probably figuring this is OJ Simpson and your just some waiter and he's going to beat you silly, but you can try dammit. You're of course still hoping that this can be settled peacefully.
Then he moves quickly, maybe you see a flash of light of the metal, maybe not. Probably the first you realize this isn't a normal fight is when part of you stings really bad, you grab it, you feel wet, you look there's blood, you're blood. Of course while you're finding out you've been stabbed he's coming again. Or maybe you don't get to think much of anything. Remember the shot on Ron's neck was so hard and so deep he was almost decapitated (another indication of frenzied passion killing, not drug dealer type stuff).

Basically, from what we can tell from the wounds, Ron knew he was in at least some physical danger, but he had no idea just how much danger. He had moved to defend himself in a pugilistic way, but was hit so hard, so fast, and so many times that by the time his brain knew this wasn't a fist fight his body was no longer capable of responding. Blitz attacks happen pretty often in murders, this one is a little unusual in that the victim was in a defensive posture, but it's not at all uncommon for the bad guys to hit their victims so hard and fast that by the time the victim knows what's happening they're already incapacitated. Again, this particular has many signs that the assailant was known to the victim. You're not on gaurd around people you know. Even if they start acting violent or potentially violent you don't expect it to go that far (and if you do you're hanging out in the wrong crowd). Around people you know you might think you're going to have to punch them, but you're not going to think you have to disarm them before they stab you do death. And that's all the opening a killer needs, just long enough to get in one good shot in the upper torso, head or neck.

I'm not laughing at their drug connection. I'm laughing that anybody would think drug dealers kill like that.

Well, I didn't really say "drug dealers". When I say "Drug ring" that means that "public servants" were involved - peopel who have BIG reasons not to be exposed - Cops, legislators, etc.....

Given O.J.'s physical condition, its unlikely that, unless jumped and suprised, Goldman could have taken OJ. All coroner accounts point at Nicole getting it first, and the placement of the bodies appeared as if Goldman "came upon it".

and of course, the housepainter was using OJ's blood in his mix, and just happened to dabble a little bit of it everywhere...

yeah right, are we to believe that the LAPD really did plant blood, the glove and all....come on no way!!!

Sorry, my recolection is that the coroner reports say Nicole died first.

Ron came to bring back her glasses that she left at the restaurant. In the words of Chris Rock "At what restaurant do they bring you back something you left? I want to eat there! You can leave a new born baby, and they will put it in the coat room". IOW, they WERE lovers.

He seems more like the "pay some guy to do it" kind of person.

Then why didn't he pay someone to beat the hell out of every woman who's ever been stupid enough to get involved with him. The guy is a psycho with an explosive temper who beat women regularly. Only months before, the cops had to pull him off the Brown woman. Why in the world do you think he would not pull a knife and slash her throat?

It's a safe bet that most waiters would leap at the chance to personally return a celebrity's property.

But there's a difference between dieing first and getting wounded first, I can stab one person a couple of times then shred somebody else, the first person I stabbed will probably die second.

Though that kind of stuff can be hard to figure out and generally only the killer knows for sure what happened at any murder (and frequently they're pretty zoned out and don't know themselves). But regardless of the order of the killing the indication is that while Ron thought he was in danger (ie was not completely unexpecting of an attack, in a defensive posture) he did not realize just how much danger he was in and was clearly blitzed too hard to be able to defend himself. That kind of situation usually means there's some level of trust involved (misplaced obviously), this trust could be the way normal law abiding citizens trust the police. But then we have to go back to the way Nicole was mutilated which is classic spousal murder facial mutilation.

Really to me Ron is very secondary in all of this. he most damning evidence all revolves around Nicole. The fact that OJ did beat her, the bizaar behavior he had towards her in the weeks prior to the killing, the mutilation, the bizaar behavior since the killing, the really twisted and messed up stuff he's said about her since then. Basically from where I'm sitting OJ was going to kill her, his violent behavior was increasing in both frequency and brutality, his aberant behavior was moving him farther away from normal society, and it was all focusing on her. If he didn't it's because somebody beat him to it, one way or the other Nicole is dead by now and most likely dead by OJs hands.

Beating her to death I would believe,or even strangulation,but killing with a knife ,almost cutting off her head,sorry,differant emotion in my opinion.It is easy to shoot someone,no emotion,strangulation,love or infatuation,but decapitation,total sickness.The first time I ever stuck a hog was very tough on me. after the tenth one it was no problem.A knife is very graphic,lots of blood,gotta hit the right spot and one must be very determined,thats all,I don't think he has it in him to use a knife.

OK codey, you're on!

You know as well as I how these serial cretins love publicty and need to stall! Some Texas serial scum once numbered a missing local girl in my hometown as one of his victims. At least it got the local cops here a jaunt out to interview him. She was found years later, in her car, behind the wheel, in a river. No evidence of fould play. Just a posthumous bluff victim.

IF this guy's MO comes anywhere near the Brown/Goldburg slashings, I will retract my statement.

And IF there is actual material evidence found, you'll be FREEP King of Conspiracies here.

But I am not holding my breath at this point.

Wasn't it shown at the trial that OJ was a knife collector? Big bad knives? Seems pretty coincidental that that the woman he used to slap around also ends up with her throat slashed.

I have never been 100% convinced of OJ's guilt.He seems more like the "pay some guy to do it" kind of person.I didn't say he was innocent or that he didn't have knowledge about it,I just don't think he physicaly did the cuttin.It takes training and or experiance ,not to mention the mental strength and determination to kill with a knife,let alone two people. More to the OJ story than meets the eye IMHO.

WorldNetDaily had a good series in the end of 1998 about one Bill Wasz, who OJ's lawyer Kardashian had hired to stalk Nicole and take notes on her moves, and steal her car. It seemed Kardashian was setting up this Wasz as a patsy for an eventual hit on Nicole. It blew up when Wasz didn't keep up his end of the bargain and got arrested after a car chase.

This would support the scenario that OJ/Kardashian wanted Nicole killed. However, I believe OJ himself was the knifeman after these carefully-laid plans fell apart, though I wouldn't totally discount the possibility that he had someone else do it -- the forensic evidence points to OJ, even with the LAPD's questionable practices.

It seems netither the prosecution nor the defense wanted to call Wasz to the stand because he had information on drug use/dealing/etc. by OJ's crowd and other powerful people in LA -- and neither side wanted to go there. This unwillingness to lay out all the evidence ultimately damaged the prosecution case against OJ.

See this link and/or punch in "Wasz" on WND's search engine for the whole 11-part series.

Amazingly, his fingerprints also match those of OJ Simpson. What a miracle.

Sheeesh...how many obsessed, lowlife, serial killers just jump out of the bushes in highly affluent neighborhoods, slash a few strangers, then take off without savoring it?

I know I don't.

Would you be refering to the chicken business OJ and some LAPD types were using to deliver drugs and nicole was about to get it in the divorce?As I said,much more than meets the eye here,drugs,sex,money ,cops,popular sports figure,did I say cops,drugs and undercover cops.Yeah ,OJ is guilty,but by proxy.I think OJ and the bronco chase came from OJ's guilty feeling that what he was involved in caused her death.What was he gonna do,testify against LAPD,Ithink not.

It's been so long since I read that piece so it could be there, but I don't recall anything about a chicken business. I believe there passages about drugs being sold at a club, OJ & Kato's trip to McDonald's being to get some coke from someone in a parking lot, Mezzaluna (Goldman's restaurant) being a front (explaining the special delivery of the envelope with "lost sunglasses"?), etc. . . For anyone interested in this case, I highly reccomend the WND series. It doesn't get too much into the drug connection, but definitely lays out the case that OJ's attorney was trying to have Nicole killed in the months before her murder.

If you have a cite for the chicken business stuff, let fly. The only chicken business I'm familiar with that doubles as a cover for a large-scale drug operation is named Tyson . . .

hey, it's a proven fact all housepainters wear Bruno Mali shoes. I think it's also a legal requirement that they be the same size as OJ's.
