  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nA jury in western Newfoundland has found Dean Penney guilty of first-degree murder in the disappearance of his estranged wife, Jennifer Hillier-Penney.\n\nHillier-Penney disappeared on Nov. 30, 2016, in St. Anthony, N.L., a community of about 2,200 people on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula.\n\nHer remains still have not been found.\n\nRCMP Insp. Adam Palmer said the lengthy investigation that led the force to charge Penney in late 2023 took roughly 100 officers and staff of all ranks.\n\nSpeaking to reporters Sunday in St. John’s, N.L., Palmer also credited Hillier-Penney’s family for their tireless demands for justice.\n\nPalmer said he hoped Sunday’s verdict would bring them some peace and help them move forward.\n\nThe trial took place in provincial Supreme Court in Corner Brook, N.L.\n\nThe report from a public inquiry into the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia concluded that gender-based, intimate partner and family violence is an \"epidemic\" in Canada.\n\nThis report by The Canadian Press was first published May 24, 2026.\n\n_Copyright 2026, The Canadian Press.
