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.

O.J. WAS found guilty in the civil suit....remember?

People are found liable in civil suits, guilty in criminal cases. OJ was found not guilty in the criminal case but liable in the civil suit.

When this particular house painter was working for Nicole and this never came up at all? Too much of a coinicence.

It mihgt take a war with Iraq to get this off the front pages if the cops decide to look into the DNA at the crimescene and match it to this guy.

If it was the guy, then he did a pretty good job of framing O.J. as well as killing those two...

You do realize that none of O.J.'s blood was found at the scene until hours after he gave a sample to police.

You are absolutely 100% wrong on this.

That's my theory too right now, O.J. knew he was facing coverup manslaughter charges at the least with the murder weapon being his and decided to press his luck with a favorable jury.

>>Wonder how many people would have to eat their words if it is found out OJ is innocent?<<

BWAHAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA...etc.

Seriously...(drying eyes on shirtsleeve)...Read Daniel Petrocelli's book "Triumph of Justice." He was the attorney against O.J. in the civil trial, which Juice lost quite emphatically, to the tune of 33 million. In the civil trial, O.J. was found responsible for the deaths of Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson.

If you read the evidence that was in that trial which (for some reason) was excluded from the criminal trial, including O.J.'s DISASTROUS moments on the stand, there is no way anyone with an I.Q. above room temperature can come to any other conclusion than O.J. did it with his own hands.

I have friends who refuse to look at the facts; they have pre-determined that O.J. couldn't have done it, because of whatever irrelevant reason.

But anyone who is HONESTLY (and I mean that, HONESTLY) interested in the truth should read that book.

If anyone vigorously defends him while refusing to look at all the evidence..well..I won't waste my time arguing with fools.

Good Lord, what a shock it would be if OJ really was innocent!

I think you can relax, you won't be shocked. If this guy was the "real killer" OJ would have caught him by now.

OJ was found LIABLE in the civil suit. GUILTY is a finding in a criminal case, not in a civil case. The standard of proof for civil liability is by a preponderance of the evidence. That standard means that the trier of fact believes that the evidence in favor of liability at least slightly exceeds the evidence in favor of the defendant. A finding of guilty in a criminal case requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt, which is far more difficult.

In case you were wondering if Michael Rivero is back under a different screen name, I think that this thread confims it.

I'm one of those people who are (was???) convinced that OJ did it.

Wouldn't it be something if the guy turns out to be innocent!

Well let's start with Okham's razor and see where that leads.

Scenario 1 - OJ did it, what kind of assumptions do we have here:
That Nicole met a serial killer just before being killed.
But, like 90% of all abused women that are murdered she was murder by the abuser.
That the leather glove which had soaked in human blood shrunk.
That while Furhman very well might have been a bigot and could also have tampered with evidence he didn't have to and clearly shouldn't have.

Scenario 2 - This serial killer did it, the assumptions:
That Nicole was in the 10% of murdered abuse victim killed by somebody other than the abuser.
That the killer's methodology was similar enough to passion killings that every profiler in the country said the killer had to be a lover or ex-lover.
That some how nobody linked up this killing to any of the guys other killings until his startling confession.
That unlike most serial killers this guy didn't go after a complete stranger.
That unlike most serial killers this guy didn't wait until his victim was alone.
That unlike most serial killers this guy didn't sexually assault his victim in any way.
That ALL of the evidence pointing to OJ was planted by Furhman.
That for no apparent reason OJ decided to flea to Mexico with a disguise and $10,000 in small bills.
And that OJ got information saying this guy golfed a lot and was going to Florida.

Over all there are a lot fewer assumptions around OJ being the culprit. I'd have to see this guys MO but the fact that he met Nicole just makes this even less likely to have been his work, and the level of frenzied over kill is not typical for serial killers, especially not experienced serial killers (first timers tend to frenzy, the experienced ones take their time and do heavy mutilation over hours sometimes days). It could be that the presence of Ron caused him to freak, but if he was her gardener he should have known Ron didn't live there and would be more likely to go home and try again tomorrow. Also the lack of frenzy attack on Ron kind of damages the idea that Ron made him freak out. Again, that kind of frenzy, especially on just one of multiple victims generally shows the killer had or has (or had and thinks they still have) a close emotional relationship with the victim.

Oops, painter not gardener. Still should have known Ron didn't live there.

But it's far from a metaphysical certainty.

This one was a close you get for proving a murder. One problem with your theory. There was just one set of footprints leading away from the murder, with blood drips on the same side as the cut on OJ's hand. The cuts that OJ had no explantation for. Of course, the shoe prints matched the size and type of shoe OJ owned (and lied about owning). That's just for starters - you don't even need the DNA evidence and you have five times more than enough proof of his guilt.

Isn't it a bit funny that a house painter would be wearing a $250 dollar pair of shoes when he "killed" Nicole and Ronald?

Not when you consider the clientele. You'd be amazed what some of these house painters get.

Excuse me...he was found LIABLE because of the preponderance of the evidence and ordered to pay 8.5 million dollars in the wrongful deaths...

OJ had the "dream team" who, among other outrageous tactics, made a mockery out of the DNA results.

I'm sorry, I'll always believe he killed Nicole and Ron Brown, by the preponderance of the evidence...silly me.
