"Unsolved Mysteries," which airs at 10 tonight on WXFL, Channel 8, will probe the case of Glenn Con-sagra, a 49-year-old Lutz man serving two consecutive life sentences for murders he claims he did not commit. Consagra was charged with the 1978 shotgun slayings of Freddie L.

Douberley and Mary Lu Holmes of Lutz. Their nude bodies were found tied together face to face on a small island near Honeymoon Island in Dunedin. Police had several theories about the motive for the killings, ranging from a love triangle to a feud between the victims and Consagra. Consagra pleaded guilty to one count of murder and no contest to the second charge. After he was sentenced, he claimed he was framed and had entered the guilty plea thinking that a deal had been struck for a lighter sentence.

Consagra has maintained his in special that aired in May resulted in the arrest of a Michigan man who had been sought in connection with a 1970 shooting and the arrest of a Tucson, man wanted in connection with a triple murder. The Consagra story is one of several cases that will be described during the program. "My only concern is that they will only give about 12 minutes to this case, and to tell it properly would take more than two hours," said Millwee. "Our real hope is that it will help Glenn Consagra. He is up for parole next year and has been recommended for early release.

I believe he is completely innocent and should be exonerated, but an early release would be good." State prosecutor Doug Crowe of the Pinellas State Attorney's Office said the evidence against Consagra was "overwhelming." "In addition, he pleaded guilty," Crowe said. "There is no reason to reopen the case." He said he had not seen the TV segment but that the case file was "voluminous." Crowe said that it would be difficult to present all the facts in a short television segment. nocence for nearly 10 years while serving time in the Avon Park Correctional Institute. He eventually hired a Tampa private detective, Steve Millwee, who found a 30-year-old woman who confessed to the crime. The woman told police the killings were motivatived by a drug deal that went sour.

Her confession was dismissed by Pinellas Sheriff Gerry A. Coleman, who said she told several conflicting stories and that her lie detector test was "inconclusive." The state attorney's office in Pinellas County refused to reopen the case. But tonight's program narrated by Karl Maiden, who played a detective on "The Streets of San Francisco" will ask a national television audience to review the case. "We're trying to be objective," said John Cosgrove, producer of the special. "We're just going to present both sides of the story and ask that if anyone has any information about this case they come forward." Cosgrove said he learned about the case through "research" into crimes and disappearances that might be used on his TV specials.
