— Glenn reporting during "Fugitive" | ||
Glenn Sanders is the newscaster who appears in broadcasts throughout Heavy Rain. If Ethan Mars turns the TV on before opening the shoebox in "The Motel," he is seen reporting on Shaun Mars' disappearance. He can also be heard during "First Encounter" and "Fugitive," reporting briefly on the progress of the Origami Killer case on the TVs in the motel where Madison Paige and Ethan are staying. His report in the ending differs with the results in game.

Trivia[]
- It is possible that Glenn is related to fellow news reporter Britney Sanders, who shares his surname. They may even be married, though only Glenn wears a ring.
- In one of the "hidden" news report scenes that are seen in other chapters in the game, Glenn refers to himself as "Michael Neddy."[1] This is probably due to the developers using the same background template for all of the news reports in the game, so all the reporters that are intended to be different people still look the same, and they are still named as Glenn Sanders on the ticker at the bottom of the screen.
- In a removed chapter where Ethan takes Shaun to school, Glenn can be heard reporting on a small TV in the kitchen of Ethan's house.
