Jeremy Rust, OSB No. 094927 Attorney for Personal Representative Seaside Attorneys 842 Broadway Seaside, Oregon 97138 Man who set fire to his home a murder suspect A Seaside man who set fire to his own home before com- mitting suicide in February is believed to have killed a Kelso resident three months earlier, the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office reported. Detectives say their investi- gation points to the following scenario: Stephen Penwar- den, 69, entered the home of Rick and Rebecca Huckaby shortly after 7 p.m. Nov. 12, 2019, and shot the husband multiple times with a .32-cal- iber pistol. Huckaby’s wife was home at the time, but didn’t recognize the shooter. She was able to help investigators with a sketch. Detectives followed numerous leads and served about 40 search warrants and subpoenas. After setting his house on fire, Penwarden shot him- self with a .32-caliber pistol using the same brand of am- munition used to shoot Rick Huckaby. He also was identi- fied as a former friend of the couple. Based on an investigation over the course of seven months, detectives with the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Of- fice have identified Stephen Penwarden of Seaside, Or- Penwarden and his sketch egon as the suspect in the murder of Kelso resident Rick Huckaby. Penwarden committed suicide on Feb. 24th. Family and neighbors con- sidered Penwarden a lon- er, with the exception of his friendship with Rick Hucka- by. Penwarden had stayed at the Huckaby home numerous times and the Huckabys had stayed with Penwarden at his home in Seaside. Detectives learned Hucka- by and Penwarden had been close until about six years ago, when Penwarden began to display mental problems and paranoia, according to a sheriff’s press release. Pen- warden reportedly blamed Huckaby for the loss of his job, his divorce and other problems and considered Huckaby to be the center of a conspiracy against him. Penwarden’s home on Co- lumbia Street also was in foreclosure. Detectives learned Penwar- den was arrested in 2015 for assaulting teenagers with an ice pick and had numerous recent contacts with police in which he was described as ir- rational and quick-tempered. Detectives submitted the pistol and a casing recovered from Penwarden’s home to the Washington State Pa- trol Crime Laboratory for examination. This examina- tion confirmed Penwarden’s pistol had been used to kill Rick Huckaby. The pistol was purchased by Penwarden in 2008. Further investigation re- vealed Penwarden had pur- chased gasoline at 5:45 p.m. Nov. 12, 2019, from the War- renton Fred Meyer. The drive time from the gas station to Huckaby’s home is one hour and 15 minutes. Penwarden’s Subaru For- ester was similar to a vehicle seen near the murder site at the time of the shooting. A suspect sketch bears re- semblance to Penwarden and his physical description is similar to the suspect de- scription given by Rebecca Huckaby. ators,” said Randy Henry, a program manager for the Marine Board. “We also have new tools. The legislature gave us the authority in 2020 to take your boater education card for up to three years, if convicted.” Many marine officers have completed specialized train- ing to recognize alcohol and drug impairment, includ- ing prescription drugs, that impair a person’s ability to make sound judgments and safely operate a boat. Impaired boaters will be ar- rested or face heavy fines. In Oregon, the consequences of being convicted of BUII include jail time, $6,250 in fines, loss of boating privi- leges and a one- to three-year suspension of boater educa- tion cards. Those who see an impaired operator or someone oper- ating in a way that threatens the safety of others should call 911. Take caution if you choose to boat and drink Marine law enforcement from 18 sheriff’s offices in the state are working with the Marine Board, Oregon State Police, and five Coast Guard Stations to participate in this weekend’s Operation Dry Water.
