Summary
Former NFL player Mike Pennel is being investigated as a person of interest in the potential homicide of Carli Franchesca Guzman Roche in the Dominican Republic. Guzman’s body was found on a property owned by Pennel, a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, after she went missing in 2021. Pennel denied any involvement and claimed the story was “fake news.” He has been suspended by the NFL three times for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy and was sued by Dwayne Haskins’ widow in 2024.
