July 30, 2014 KILLER OF KELSEY GRAMMER'S SISTER DENIED PAROLE Jul. 30, 2014 DENVER (AP) — Freddie Glenn who raped and killed Kelsey Grammer's sister nearly 40 years ago has been denied parole.... was convicted of killing Karen Elisa Grammer after kidnapping her from a Colorado Springs Red Lobster restaurant where she worked in 1975. He also was convicted of killing two men in separate slayings. The Denver Post reports Kelsey Grammer says he accepted Glenn's apology, but endorsing his release would be a "betrayal of my sister's life."
Many of Grammer's family and close friends were killed in violent or accidental manners. In 1968, his father, whom he had seen only twice since his parents' divorce, was shot dead,[4] while in 1975, his younger sister, Karen, was abducted, raped, and murdered by spree killer Freddie Glenn.[10][11][12][13] In 1980, his twin half-brothers died in a scuba diving accident; and David Angell, close friend and producer of Frasier, died in the 9/11 attacks.
Kelsey also had the misfortune of being affected by murder on two separate occasions.
Kelsey was born to Sally and Frank Allen Grammer, Jr. in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Following his parents’ divorce when he was two years old, Kelsey and his sister, Karen, went to live with their mother and grandfather in the states. It’s unclear how much Kelsey kept in touch with his father. Unfortunately, even if their relationship was strained, they never had a chance to reconcile. On April 25, 1968, Frank was at home with his second wife and their four children when a man named Arthur B. Niles set fire to the family car. When Frank went outside to chase off the criminal, Niles shot him twice, killing him. According to a 1993 People article, the assailant was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

Freddie Lee Glenn (born January 6, 1957) is a spree killer and rapist. Along with accomplice Michael Corbett, Glenn was convicted of murdering three people in 1975; combined, the pair were responsible for a total of five deaths in and around Colorado Springs.The killings began on June 19, 1975, when Glenn, a civilian employee at Fort Carson, Corbett, a soldier, and another soldier grabbed Daniel Van Lone, a 29-year-old cook just getting off work from the Four Seasons hotel, to rob him. They drove him to a remote area and made him lie on the ground, and then 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. Corbett, who had been training with bayonets, stabbed Proffitt with one to see what it was like.
The murdering duo committed their final and most publicized killing on July 1, 1975. Glenn, Corbett, and two other men decided to rob the Red Lobster 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 a convenience store, the men took Grammer to the apartment they shared, where they raped her repeatedly. They promised to take her home, then sat her in the car, put a cloth over her head and let her out in a mobile home park on South Wahsatch Avenue. Then Glenn, who, according to court testimony, had taken 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.[1] She had almost reached the doorbell when she collapsed. 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 Kelsey Grammer arrived to identify the body.[2]
