Along with his accomplice, [[Michael Corbett]], Glenn was found guilty of murdering three people in 1975. Glenn and Corbett were responsible for a total of five deaths in and aroundĀ Colorado Springs, Colorado. One of Glenn's most famous victims was Karen Grammer, the younger sister of actorĀ Kelsey Grammer, who was raped and murdered by Glenn. ==Biography== The killings began on June 19, 1975, when Glenn, a civilian employee atĀ Fort Carson, Corbett, a soldier, and another soldier kidnapped Daniel Van Lone, a 29-year-old cook just getting off work from the Four Seasons hotel, to rob him. They later drove Van Lone to a remote area, made him lie on the ground, and shot him in the head. They got 50 cents from him. Eight days later, the pair met Winfred Proffitt, 19, another Fort Carson soldier, at Prospect Lake, ostensibly to sell him some marijuana. Training with bayonets, Corbett stabbed Proffitt with one to see what it was like. Glenn and Corbett committed their final and most publicized killing on July 1, 1975. Glenn, Corbett, and two other men decided to rob theĀ Red LobsterĀ restaurant on South Academy Boulevard. They left without any money, but on their way out they grabbed Karen Grammer, an 18-year-old who worked there and was waiting for her boyfriend to get off work, because they feared she could identify them. After robbing aĀ convenience store, the men took her to the apartment they shared, where theyĀ rapedĀ her repeatedly. They promised to take Karen home, then sat her in the car, put a cloth over her head and let her out in aĀ mobile home parkĀ on South Wahsatch Avenue. Then Glenn, who, according toĀ courtĀ testimony, had takenĀ LSD, stabbed her in the throat, back and hand, and left her to die. In a desperate attempt to save herself, she ran toward the back porch of a nearby home where there was a light, but the homeowners were out. She died there, leaving bloody hand prints and fingerprints where she tried to reach the doorbell for help.Ā Police photographs show a bloody hand print on the wall, inches from the doorbell. Police did not know her name for a week, until her brother,Ā Kelsey, arrived to identify the body. Glenn was convicted in 1976 for the murders of Van Lone, Profitt, and Karen Grammer. Judge Hunter Hardeman, noting "there was no rhyme or reason for what happened," sentenced Glenn to deathĀ for Karen Grammer's murder. Two years later, theĀ Colorado Supreme CourtĀ overturned the state'sĀ death penalty, and his sentence was commuted to life in prison.
