Glen pleaded guilty to the murders and was sentenced to serve two life sentences as a result.

Several pieces of evidence have been found to suggest that Glen was innocent and someone else was responsible for the murders. Suspects: A woman came forward claiming that a friend of hers had told her that he had killed Freddie and Mary Lou. However, she disappeared and never had the chance to testify. Extra Notes: This segment appeared on Special #3 which aired September 24, 1987. Results: Unresolved. The state of Florida conducted three separate investigations; all of them concluded Glen was guilty. Glen was paroled on December 22, 1992, but he died suddenly on August 21, 1996. He was never successful in proving his innocence, and the belief in his supporters are that Freddie and Mary Lou's killer or killers are still at large. Links:
