This entire situation was a tragedy. I wonder at what point it could have been avoided?

Post Susan Cox Powell Search Shifts To Rural Oregon Farm


Susan Cox Powell Search Shifts To Rural Oregon Farm


Law enforcement officers were searching a rural farm near Salem, Ore., for Susan Cox Powell, who has been missing since 2009.

According to Seattle attorney Anne Bremner, a "promising lead" prompted authorities to begin searching the property on Tuesday. Bremner represents Powell's parents, Chuck and Judy Cox.

I hope and pray LW, will find her.

Thanks for posting.

Good her parents press on continuing the search.

I still believe Steve Powell, Josh Powell's father was involved and knows the location, he rented a car and was MIA during Josh Powell's so called camping trip.

Not Forgotten

Post Welcome

I was hoping they would find her. The nest link is more bad news.

I think the dad knows where the body of Susan is located too. He only got 30 months in jail for voyeurism. I didn't realize the brother had committed suicide.

The Feds haven't closed the case. Susan's remains may yet be found.

A thought hit me yesterday about this case: We don't know how close the Powell boys were to their father. And no one knows very much about what happened that night.

Could it be possible that Seven Powell, the brothers' father, who was obsessed with his daughter-in-law, have killed her? And then his dutiful sons covered up his crime?

Given that both brothers killed themselves, and Josh killing his sons, says something deep about something in the Powell family. I don't know what that something is, but I'm not an FBI profiler, either. I suspect the FBI is thinking along different lines than the Utah State Police. How many fathers kill their young sons with a hatchet?

And why did Josh, who had resisted all FBI efforts successfully for over a year, suddenly lose his discipline and kill himself and his sons? He wasn't any closer to being cornered when he did it.

If the FBI couldn't break him, what did? I do not believe it was a guilty conscience, that's for sure, but I can understand him snapping from pressure delivered from a dominating father who had ruined his life and happiness.

With the elder Powell behind bars for quite a while, this gives the FBI more time to search, both for the remains and for more circumstantial evidence.

A new twist to investigate on the case.

Sadly, he has his fathers genes. I doubt the apple feel far the tree.
