DUKE: The ‘Insanity’ Escape Hatch

[Fairfax County Police: Gret Gyler on Instagram]

Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print. 

This is what “justice” looks like in Northern Virginia…

THE “INSANITY” ESCAPE HATCH 

In Fairfax County, you can admit you did it, everyone can agree you did it, and the court can still declare you “not guilty.”

Nearly four years ago, Gret and Heather Glyer put their two children to bed and went to sleep. Hours later, Heather and the kids woke up in a living nightmare. 

Gret was executed in their bed. 

He was shot ten times, including four times in the head and twice in the neck. The killer had fled into the night. 

Days later, police made an arrest: Josh Danehower. 

Danehower was no stranger. About a decade earlier, he had pursued Heather romantically, according to police documents. Later, Danehower and the Glyers attended the same church. 

Danehower admitted to murdering Gret after his arrest. And investigators say they found a written checklist he titled, “The Plan,” outlining supplies and a sequence of actions stretching from preparation to what he believed would help him evade capture. He had a gun and a lockpicking kit. He planned to wipe his devices and change clothes before fleeing on the highway.  

It didn’t seem like the manifesto of someone who was confused or spiraling. But when Danehower was evaluated by two psychologists — one from the defense team and one from the prosecution — they determined he was suffering from severe mental illness. They cited his obsession with Heather and delusions that Gret was a member of the Illuminati and had forced Heather to marry him. 

Danehower was indicted by a grand jury for murder in January 2023. But as the case trudged along, Gret’s family eventually realized that they would never truly see justice.
