Award-winning actor Kelsey Grammer is opening up about the devastating loss of his younger sister, Karen Grammer, nearly 50 years after her brutal murder-a tragedy that has haunted him ever since
In July 1, 18-year-old Karen Grammer was kidnapped outside a Colorado Springs restaurant by a group of men, including serial killer Freddie Glenn. She was raped and stabbed 42 times, dying just two weeks before her 19th birthday Kelsey, then 20 and studying theater in New York, was called to identify her body-a moment he says changed his life forever
The impact of Karen’s death was profound. Grammer has spoken candidly about his struggle with grief, addiction, and the pressure of living with such a traumatic loss In his new memoir, Karen: A Brother Remembers, released May 6, 202, Grammer shares intimate memories of his sister and the enduring pain of her absence, hoping to bring solace to others who have suffered similar tragedies
Freddie Glenn, convicted for Karen’s murder and two others, was sentenced to life in prison. Grammer has consistently opposed Glenn’s parole, describing Karen as his best friend and the “best person I knew”
Kelsey Grammer’s account is not just a story of loss, but also of resilience and the unbreakable bond between siblings-a side of the actor few have seen until now.
