Fugitive possibly in Baja

MexicoTed - 2-9-2009 at 10:59 PM

Not sure if this has been posted, but if you've seen this guy, take extra caution. He's supposedly in Baja somewhere possibly heading towards Cabo. A friend of mine in law enforcement has told me he dealt with him the first time he tried to charge someone with a machete and he was a handful. The article says he's unstable.

Search Continues For Man In Carlsbad Deaths
Dennis Gluck Sought In Hacking Deaths Of Parents
February 6, 2009

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- A mentally ill drifter suspected of hacking his elderly parents to death in their North County home was on the loose Friday, and authorities asked for the public's help in finding him.

Dennis Brian Gluck, 45, is believed to have fled to Baja California following the slayings of his parents, Harry and Jean Gluck of Carlsbad, according to police.

The bodies of the 90-year-old man and 77-year-old woman were found Jan. 18, said Lt. Kelly Cain.

The couple died of "chop" wounds to their upper bodies, according to an autopsy.

Dennis Gluck was once arrested for threatening someone with a machete while he was homeless in Oceanside, according to Cain.

Gluck, who is mentally ill, had been staying with his parents and Jean Gluck's elderly brother for several months prior to the slayings, the lieutenant said.

"He was an invited guest, apparently, at their home," he said.

Nine days after the bodies were found, the suspect's car was found in Ensenada, Mexico and an arrest warrant was issued charging him with two counts of murder.

Gluck is white, 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 150 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information on his whereabouts was asked to call the U.S. Marshals Service at 800-336-0102.

Maybe he's selling timeshares in Cabo.

Bajahowodd - 2-10-2009 at 12:08 AM

Geez! I think that's my salesman. Gotta call my credit card company and cancel the deal.

There is no truth to the rumors you hear about me. I am just a Baja California Tourist. Yeah I have a machete but it is only for hacking weeds!

I hope he doesn't go to the movies.

Looking at David's post makes me think he is one of those guys that insists on keeping his cell phone on and talks on his phone during the entire movie...

While I own a cell phone, it's never on in public. I believe phone conversations should be private.

Watched a movie last night called 'Noise'. I'm one of those guys. That, and Michael Douglas' character in 'Falling Down'.

Rude people pi$$ me off. Sometimes I have to slap myself. :rolleyes:

BajaGringo - 2-10-2009 at 12:01 PM

I have been known to stand up in the theater and loudly ask the jerk to take his call outside. Last time I did it was two girls at the Cinepolis in Rosarito. I almost got a standing ovation from the rest of the audience for that one.

Really embarrasses my wife though...

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Kell-Baja - 2-10-2009 at 12:43 PM

Hope they do find him, he did MURDER his own parents.:?:

fdt - 2-27-2009 at 12:44 PM

So someone asked "What if you have warrants in the US? "

Dennis Gluck got caught on a bus south of Ensenada and was returned today to the US.

Looks like those checkpoints do work if the USA gets help from Mexico soon enough, which it looks like they did. Congrats USA/Mexico for a job well done!

If it's proven he did it, i hope he never gets released. His dad was 90 and his mom 78 ... what a monster! And why can ppl accused of heinous crimes get bail?!? I don't understand that. It's 5 million... sure hope no one comes up with the bond!

Good job Mexico!!!

Dennis Gluck being handed over to US officials...



...Authorities believe that Gluck, who had never been to Mexico and does not speak Spanish, arrived there Jan. 22 and moved from place to place every day. He traveled from Ensenada to La Paz to Cabo San Lucas and then back to La Paz, where he took a ferry to Sinaloa. He then turned up in Mexicali, Castillo said.

“It was a very unique case,” Castillo said. “He wouldn't stop.”

Gluck was captured after the U.S. Marshals Service notified the Baja California Ministerial Police that Gluck had made a cash withdrawal at an ATM machine in Mexicali.

The Baja California detectives followed his trail to the bus station, finding that he had purchased a ticket to Ensenada under the name Bill Wright, authorities said. Gluck did not resist when agents boarded his bus and arrested him in Ensenada on Thursday evening, said Lidia Gallegos Aguilar, assistant attorney general for Baja California.

Gluck was handed over to Carlsbad detectives just after 1:30 a.m at the San Ysidro border crossing, Carlsbad police Lt. Kelly Cain said. He was booked into the Vista jail, with bail set at $5 million, Cain said.

Must have been binge eating for the last month and unable to get his hair dyed.

I am sure glad he didn't wear a Pacifico shirt!

2-tie-dye-4 - 2-28-2009 at 10:56 AM

I'm sure he blended for awhile with that authentic Mexican sombrero and Corona shirt. Looks like a local:light:

Wow. He really got around. Looking forward to his trip report. :lol:

Chopping Suspect Enters Plea

A North County man accused of killing his parents entered a plea in court Monday.

Dennis Gluck, 44, was formally charged at his arraignment Monday in a Vista courtroom. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Gluck was arrested last week on a bus near Ensenada and handed over to Carlsbad detectives. Police had been looking for him for more than a month.

Harry Gluck, 90, and Jean Gluck, 77, were found dead in their Carlsbad home last month. The medical examiner's office said they died of "chop wounds" to the neck and head.

Gluck, who has a history of mental illness, was booked into the Vista jail. His bail has been set at $5 million, Williams said.

He was practicing for his drug cartel entrance exam. He was looking for Teo, the Feo, in Ensenada.

I wonder how much Corona paid him to wear their tee shirt in the arrest foto?

Bajahowodd - 3-7-2009 at 02:03 PM

Truth. Is there any object in today's world that isn't up for branding rights and fees? (This post being brought to you by Bimbo)

Wearing that shirt is probably what got him arrested. Everything else just fell into place.

Man In Carlsbad Deaths To Be Sent To Mental Facility
June 24, 2009

SAN DIEGO -- A man accused of hacking his parents to death in their Carlsbad home and fleeing to Mexico, where he was captured about six weeks later, is not mentally competent to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Dennis Gluck, 44, will be sent to Patton State Hospital for up to three years or until he regains his competency, authorities said.

After reviewing a doctor's report, Judge Frederick Maguire suspended criminal proceedings against Gluck and ordered that he be sent to the state mental hospital for treatment.

Gluck had a history of "aggressive" behavior toward his parents, but none recently while he lived with them, police said.

He is charged with two counts of murder, a knife use allegation and a special circumstance allegation of multiple murders, which could lead to the death penalty.

Carlsbad police found the bodies of 90-year-old Harry Gluck and his 78-year-old wife, Jean, in a bedroom of their home on Jan. 18.

Both victims died of "chop" wounds to their upper bodies, inflicted by a bladed instrument of some kind.

Dennis Gluck was apprehended by Mexican police on a bus near Ensenada on Feb. 26 and turned over to U.S. authorities.

Carlsbad police Lt. Kelly Cain said Gluck had assaulted people before with "edged weapons" and was arrested several years ago for attacking someone with a machete at a homeless camp in Oceanside.

well I guess I can't comment then?

WOW!

this guy looked as though he'd blend in well as a casual tourist. he may have been in Loreto and thinking how dangerous he was we all ought to always be on the alert with those we don't know.

people are trusting in Baja that's why we're all here but predators know this and they use our naivete and camaraderie to their advantage and they blend right in while doing it. this happened to us a few times right after I came here to live, ripped off by gringos that I actually liked well I guess I learned quick. just keep your eyes and ears open and have the bs meter turned on somewhere in the background, that's all.
