If the APPROACH mode is was not armed, that explains why the jet descended below the glide slope. It does not however explain why the third set of eyes let it happen.

The all modes of the AFCS did exactly what they were commanded to do. It appears however the crew did not. All three of them were out to lunch.

Criminal... just plain criminal!
