Newfoundland RCMP charges estranged husband of Jennifer Hillier-Penney with first degree murder
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter




Family and friends of Jennifer Hillier-Penney gathered outside of RCMP headquarters in St. John’s on Saturday looking for answers into what has been a seven-year mystery.

Hillier-Penney has been missing since Nov. 30, 2016.

Dean Penney, 50, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his estranged wife. He was arrested in Deer Lake around noon on Friday.

The RCMP made the announcement during a news conference Saturday morning.

“Seven years of investigative diligence has brought us to this point,” RCMP Insp. Tracy Edwards told reporters. “From the beginning, our goal has been to get answers for Jennifer’s loved ones and to bring anyone responsible for her disappearance to justice.”

Edwards would not elaborate on what exactly led the police to make an arrest at this time.

“To lay a first-degree murder charge against anybody, there has to be sufficient evidence to support that charge,” Edwards said. “We do have sufficient evidence to lay it.”

Hillier-Penney was last seen at Penney’s house on Husky Drive in St. Anthony. At the time, she had moved in with her father and was beginning a separation from Penney. She was at the house watching her youngest daughter while Penney was duck hunting at their cabin in nearby Northwest Arm.

The RCMP said Saturday her remains still haven’t been found and investigators continue to follow all leads related to the possible location.

Edwards said the police won’t provide further details on the investigation since the matter is now before the courts.
