Glenn was eventually arrested for the murder and various other crimes, and, in 1976, he was sentenced to death for Karen's murder. That sentence was later commuted to life with parole, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned death penalty laws throughout the nation.

Calls to Kelsey Grammer's California-based production company, Grammnet Productions, were not returned; however, in a recent interview with PARADE, Kelsey said he planned to testify at Glenn's parole hearing.

"Recently, I got news that the man who did this to Karen is now eligible for parole," Kelsey said. "There is a hearing sometime later this year that I will attend. I am angry at him. I never had the opportunity to speak for my sister before. I will now."

Lou Smit, the retired homicide investigator who broke the case, agreed.

"From my standpoint, I believe, sometimes, people can be rehabilitated. Incarceration has two goals: One is rehabilitation and the other is punishment. When you're there for the death of people, you should never get out of jail. There's just too many victims," Smit told Rockymountainnews.com.

For more than 30 years, Kelsey Grammer has been haunted by one tragedy after another. Up until he received his big Hollywood break as Dr. Frasier Crane on the TV sitcom "Cheers," Kelsey's life played out like a solemn Greek tragedy.
