“Frasier” star Kelsey Grammer was expected today to attend the parole hearing for a man convicted of killing Grammer’s sister in 1975, but was rain delayed, according to a statement issued by the star. Eighteen-year-old Karen Grammer was abducted on July 1, 1975, by Freddie Glenn, 52, who is serving a life sentence for first-degree murder for her death.
Karen was abducted outside a Red Lobster restaurant after Glenn had attempted robbery. She was raped and stabbed in the throat and back, according to court records. Glenn is serving his life sentence in Limon Correctional Facility in Limon, about 145 kilometres (90 miles) southeast of Denver and sought release on parole today, but his request was denied, according to the Associated Press, and will not be eligible for parole again until 2014.
