According to ABC news, CH.2 locally, and the Washington news, Josh Powell grabbed his 2 sons from the social worker delivering them for a supervised visit, locked the door, and blew up the house. The pictures show the house leveled to the ground.

I guess he knew he would never pass the psychosexual evaluation the judge ordered. I feel so sorry for the Coxes!

After the judge ordered him to undergo a psychosexual eval and lie detector test, I'm sure he knew he would never pass. Control freak had to hurt the grandparents.

Yes it's all over the news here locally.

Apparently he took the kids, locked out the social worker (who said there was a smell of gas) and then the house exploded...

A sick individual.

Now the report is that the boys were beginning to talk about going camping with mommy in the trunk of the car then going off with daddy and never coming back.

If I am going to point any fingers it will be at the judge who allowed this visit. He should have known better having a bead on the character of this nut job. Those kids should have been MUCH better protected than they were. A "Person Of Interest" should NOT be entitled to visitation rights and in this case for OBVIOUS reasons. I agree with the county sheriff in Washington. This was pure and simple a MURDER.
