A Colorado prison inmate serving a life term for multiple murders, including the killing of actor Kelsey Grammer’s sister in 1975, has been denied parole.
Freddie Glenn’s request for parole has been deferred three years, Adrienne Jacobson, a state Department of Corrections spokeswoman, said Wednesday.
It has been “denied at this time” and Glenn will be eligible to “see the (parole) board again in three years,” Jacobson said in an e-mail.
Grammer on Tuesday offered forgiveness but said he wants to see Glenn remain behind bars.
Grammer testified from Denver via video conference at the parole board hearing.
Glenn was convicted of killing two men and Grammer’s sister, Karen Elisa Grammer, and is serving a life term at the Buena Vista Correctional Facility.
Karen Grammer was murdered July 1, 1975, after Glenn and two accomplices kidnapped her from a Red Lobster restaurant in Colorado Springs where she worked.
In separate trials, Glenn also was convicted of the June 19, 1975, murder of motel cook Daniel Van Lone, 28, in a robbery that netted 50 cents and the June 27, 1975, murder of 19-year-old Army soldier Winford Proffitt.
Glenn was 18 at the time of the murders.
