Glenn's Odd Behavior: Dog Park, Filibuster Interviews, and a Pattern of Strangeness

At 20:53 · chapter starts 19:15

Blayne describes the body camera footage of Glenn at a dog park: squatting, rising repeatedly, making women uncomfortable enough to call police. Seemingly unrelated to the murder, the footage nonetheless painted a portrait of a deeply strange man. The lead detective — speaking publicly about the case for the very first time with Dateline — described Glenn's interview style as a relentless filibuster of meandering, self-congratulatory explanations. Three separate witnesses — the detective, JoLynn, and another friend named Dana — all independently described Glenn the same way: someone who always had to be the smartest person in the room, who talked down to those around him. Andrea's summary: he was actually just the weirdest person in the room.
