RIP
OMG, Josh Powell, the man who has long been the suspect in his wife’s 2009 disappearance, has allegedly blown up himself and his two children moments after a case worker brought them for a supervised visitation. Powell lost custody of his boys last year after his father (who they were living with) was arrested for allegedly being in possession of child pornography. Powell’s wife Susan had gone missing in 2009 while he and his boys were on a late night camping trip in Utah’s desert (in freezing temperatures). Despite being a person of interest in the disappearance no charges were ever laid. Last week, a judge ordered that the boys remain in the custody of the Susan’s parents but Powell had visatation rights. Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor told reporters “It was an act of evil. Do not call it a tragedy because that sanitizes it. This was a terrible act of murder involving two young children.”
RIP Charlie (7) and Braden (5).
How very sad, RIP kids. I juts hate it when they take the kids out too. It’s just not fair.
Evil acts make despicable the perpetrator.
Such people surely are wholly unworthy of rights, dispensations and even of life itself.
Hindsight is wonderful.
Unbelievably awful. So sad.
Glad to see others commenting on this case. I found a WordPress blog that hasn’t been used in awhile but it says it’s the official blog for Susan’s case: http://heartsknitforsusan.wordpress.com/.
