When he was informed by the police about the death of his ex-wife, his first reaction was "Who killed her?". Like seriously? You're more curious about who did it to her and not shocked about what happened?

Nicole Brown met a guy in the neighborhood whom she asked to do painting and carry stuff in her house. The guy introduced himself as Glen. As seen in the movie, the guy looks very suspicious. He looks good but has a dangerous aura. Days went by when Nicole and Glen got along with each other as they talk about their problems and soon ends up having sex.
Nicole got up in bed when she heard a strange sound in the kitchen. She went there to find out Glen talking to himself as if he's talking with someone elsewhere.
As soon as Glen noticed Nicole, he tried to attack her. Nicole herself up and Glen went fugitive.
The authorities recognized Glen as "The Cross Country Killer" or "The Casanova Killer". He's an American serial killer whose full name is Glen Edward Rogers.
He's known for his nickname as the Cross Country Killer because he's a drifter moving from one state to another to commit crimes. He's attracted to tall girls with blonde hair.
