Susan and Josh Powell - Part 1
Added 2024-06-15 18:00:08 +0000 UTCSusan Powell was last seen on December 6, 2009. She and her husband of 8 years, Josh Powell, lived in West Valley City, Utah. In recent years their marriage had been strained due to financial issues and Josh’s detachment from his marriage. When the Powell’s two young sons, Charlie, 4, and Braden, 2, didn’t show up at daycare and Susan didn’t show up at work, their friends and family were instantly worried. Hours later, Josh was reached on his cell phone. He said he’d left at 1 am and taken his sons camping despite the cold and snowy conditions while Susan stayed home. Josh assumed she went to work. Police interviewed Josh but he was evasive and unhelpful. However, he was not arrested. What followed was a frustrating years-long investigation, a creepy obsession, an ugly custody dispute, and a tragic end.

They really did. I think it was a multiple system failure.
