An episode of “Cold Justice” will look into the disappearance of Glenn Pennie.

episode will generate tips

Dean would talk, but
backtrack every time police
investigated.
“When we had the oppor-
tunity to charge him with
distribution of marijuana
years ago, we dangled the
reward money and dropping
of charges if he would just
tell us what happened to
Glenn,” Williams recalled.
“He passed all that up, say-
ing ‘I’m just talking. I don’t
know anything.’”
He goes to prison — and
then starts conspiring with
his cell mate to kill the in-
formant who tipped off po-
lice about the marijuana.
Williams said he designed
a plan to kidnap the inform-
ant, kill him and bury him
“next to Glenn.”
Williams, Lt. Jeff Isham,
Sheriff Mark Garton (then a
detective sergeant) and then-
Detective Todd Fenk headed
to Coos Bay.
“We anticipated the serv-
ing of a search warrant on
Dale’s property, but things
went sideways with the in-
formant,” Williams said. “He
thought we were lying to
him and the whole thing just
kind of fell apart.”
That left officers with
Dean, who would get out of
prison soon. They wouldn’t
have enough for a search
warrant unless he confessed.
“He walks out of prison,
breathes fresh air for about
30 seconds and gets arrested
on conspiracy to commit
murder,” William said.
“Again, the offer of reduced
sentence and money is
thrown at him and he takes
back everything.”
What promised to be a
break went up in smoke.
This weekend, Williams
and members of the sheriff’s
office are hoping for another
break — one that leads to
resolution in the case.
The “Cold Justice”
episode on the case, “A
Deadly Inheritance,” airs on
Saturday at 8 p.m.
Producers had been talk-
ing with Garton and
Williams about the case for a
few years.
“When you look closely ex-
amine Glenn Pennie’s life, it
becomes very clear that he

nervous at first to appear on
the show, but is impressed
with the smooth production.
“They were so well pre-
pared,” Williams said. “Kelly
was amazing. After it was
over, I was sad to see them
go.”
Williams viewed an early
cut of the episode and said it
will generate some tips.
“We’ve just never had that
one thing that pushes us over
to, now we know what hap-
pened,” Williams said. “We
know that somebody knows
what happened. We are just
looking for that tip that points
us in the right direction.”

would never just walk away
from all that he had,” said
Kelly Siegler, a show produc-
er and investigator, via email.
“We all wanted to find the
person responsible for that.”
Glenn and Dale were set
to split their father’s estate,
75/25, with Glenn getting
the larger share. Their father
had several properties and a
large gold coin collection, all
potentially worth millions.
Williams said investiga-
tors suspected both brothers
had been stealing coins from
their father.
Theories that Glenn left on
his own hold weight. He had
disappeared before for five
years with his daughter. His
inheritance also made him a
potential victim, especially
since the brothers weren’t
exactly on friendly terms.
“Glenn said often enough
to anybody who would lis-
ten, ‘If anything happens to
me, tell the police to look at
my brother,’” Williams said.
Dale isn’t the only suspect
in the case, however, and
the show highlights others
who may have had motive
and opportunity.
Williams and Sgt. Michael
Holsapple appeared in the
episode and assisted the
crew through filming in Dal-
las, Coos Bay, Portland, Ban-
don, and Oakland.
Siegler said someone
among those they inter-
viewed has the answer to
what happened to Pennie.
Williams said he was
