UPDATE - On August 24, 2002, Polk County Marine Patrol deputies located the body of a male in the Willamette River about two miles north of Wallace Marine Park.  Cause of death was determined to be by drowning by the Oregon State Medical Examiner during an autopsy.  Fingerprints were taken but no results were found based on searches at the time.  Periodic searches were made in following years with no results.  DNA testing was not possible as no sample was taken during autopsy, as was typical in 2002.

Glenn Pennie disappeared under suspicious circumstances in October 2004.  He was last seen by a neighbor on October 3, 2004, at his home at 14970 Airlie Road in rural Polk County.  Mr. Pennie was planning to leave on October 4, 2004 for Oakland, CA, to attend a court hearing regarding his late father’s estate, where he would inherit more than one million dollars. 

The Polk County Cold Case Unit was created in 2007 by then Sheriff Bob Wolfe.  The unit is staffed by retired investigators and mental health professionals.  The Cold Case Unit examines cases that were fully investigated and closed due to lack of further investigative leads.  Team members will become familiar with cold cases and will explore new technology that was not available during the initial investigation, as well as re-interviewing witnesses to develop new leads.  Below are cases the Cold Case Unit is currently examining.
