Susan Powell Disappearance: Sources Say Arrest Imminent, Father In Law Is A Perv
Puyallup, WA- This afternoon, search warrants were served on the home in Puyallup Josh Powell and his two young sons with Susan Cox Powell share with his Dad, Steven Powell.
Josh alleges Susan disappeared on December 9, 2009 when he took the couples children on an impromptu camping trip, 2 hours away, in a blizzard, with a generator, while forgetting to call his employer when he did not show up two days later.
He admitted that Susan stayed behind to clean a red stain on the carpet, which police witnessed two fans drying, three days later.
This is all the factual data I can write prior to breaking into the editorial portion of our program.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
This woman’s father in law, Steven Powell, is describing her sexuality?
courtesy abc news
He is stating they were very sexual with one another? With all due respect, if this dear woman was not already deceased, she is dying all over again at such a sadistic and malicious comment.
A friend of Susan’s tells the real story here.
He went on to say he was falling in love with her.
Air sickness bags located in the seat pocket in front of you. If you don’t use yours, save it.
In this case, you will need it before it is over.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a witness to Josh Powell’s whereabouts the early morning hours of December 9, 2009, has confirmed to www.blinkoncrime.com, that an arrest is imminent in this case.
Our source cannot confirm however, that an arrest is forthcoming in Susan’s actual disappearance.

I think I’ll take a few of those barf bags, please. Seemed to have used all mine up during the Anthony trial.
Trying to read between the lines here and figure out who might be arrested and for what, if not the “actual” disappearance of Sus Cox. Could Father Powell be on the hot seat for rape?
I have a concern this may have to do with a DNA sample, but my hunch only.

Here’s a media report from my part of the USA
http://www.seattlepi.com/local/komo/article/Police-search-home-of-missing-Puyallup-mom-s-2141721.php
Things are hottin’ up.
Please, please, please, let there be evidence.
Amen.
Blink,
did you get my link to the Fred Meyer store confrontation between Josh and Susan’s dads?
Hmm Fred Meyer again.
yes thank you. So sad for these little guys.
B
Blink,
You have stated you believe Josh found a warm springs entree into a body of water to take Susan away by boat.
I am so troubled by his chapped face…I always thought fire was involved. Perhaps some of the Utah-experienced could tell us how quickly chapped cheeks would appear?
This is coming from someone who lives in a temperate climate and is only seeking to learn how environment might anticipate this crime
I am such a dork, I forgot to put my previous coverage link in my own piece, lol.
Thanks Word Girl for always being on the ball.

*Puyuallup*, WA : )
Oi! and then i even spelled it wrong – its Puyallup. Tricky names we have out in the NW. I think SNL spoofed it once.
Glad to see some active investigation on this troubling case.
This case seems to have reached some sort of weird boiling point.
After reading about the Ely Nevada search, I came away thinking this comment by Sgt. Mike Powell was the most telling:
“Although detectives recovered no physical evidence, Sgt. Mike Powell (no relation) said, “Obviously we were able to successfully accomplish our goals.”
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20521897,00.html
___________________________________________________________
It sort of seems to me that LE’s goals may have been to cause the now apparent unraveling that seems to be happening with Josh and his Dad, Steve.
New searches and LE really digging into stuff, seems to be making the two of them more desperate in what they are saying and how they are speaking out, after all this time.
I like thinking about them being freaked out, wondering when the shoe will drop–but I really think those little boys should not be with their Dad and Grandfather while all this is going down. They are not safe.
Whut??????? Are the Powell boys taking a page from the Anthony family playbook, conjuring up tales of perversion to create reasonable doubt in an attempt to save Josh from the wrath of an imminent jury?? Is the thinking that by painting Susan a flooze and Josh the victim, he will get a pass in what has long portended to have been the gruesome “eraser” killing of his wife and mother of his sons??? Or is this bizarre revelation by grandpa Steve true?? In the interests of my sanity, I have to think not!
What I would like to say about these 2 men is so full of foul language that I can’t write it here. At least we know where Josh Powell got his psychosis from. First of all, the idea that JP thinks that the rest of the world is that darn stupid. And now his dad saying this woman wanted him sexually. Give me a break.They are both A-holes who I hope end up under the jail. And Susan’s poor father. Trying to see his granchildren and having to endure these 2 jerks trashing his daughters good name. It is my personal opinion that any man who takes his children camping in a snowstorm, should not have custody of them anyway.
lol @ “under the jail”.
B
You’re 100% right Blink, Steven Powell is a Perv AND a Scumbag, his motives, however, I believe, are to create doubt about Susan’s character and direct the attention away from Josh. I “think” A LOT of attention will soon be coming Josh’s way though…
Yup. This case has always bothered me, talk about needing a recovery. It galls me how these men can say this BS with a straight face. I believe Josh is close to a breaking point, however.
B
I cannot believe what I just read. A father-in-law going on about how sexual she was, how they mutually mauled eachother, and how he was secretly in love with her?
Seems her friend Kiirsi is on the defense — sharing what Susan painfully told her about her father-in-law.
http://crosscountryadventures.wordpress.com/
mayhem, thank you for posting that link, I included a hyperlink to it in the piece.
Kiirsi is a class act.
B
Thank you for the updates. Sickness bags indeed. This case makes me ill.
Praying for Susan and her family that they have to go though THIS and still have to wonder where their daughter (and Mother) is.
Why do I feel like this is the Anthony’s Part Deux?
Make us all look guilty to save one. Question is, which one?
Just a quick note, I am guessing you mean Puyallup. Hope you are feeling better!
Thank you everyone with the sharper eyes than mine, I updated the spelling!
B
And ewww. yuck. I can’t imagine any possible point to the FIL coming out with this. Her poor family and those poor little boys.us
Barf bags all around on this one. Unbelievable.
Ugh. When I read about Steven Powell’s allegations yesterday I literally got a stomachache. I don’t know or care if his statements are true – either way. The very fact that he is saying these things in public – if they’re true that makes him a horrible father to his own son and his grandsons – and if they’re lies that makes him a snake.
What would make him say this? It makes him look bad and makes all of us feel sorrier for Susan. And we wonder why young men grow up to feel entitled to take advantage of the females around them. Maybe Josh felt justified in taking Susan’s life because his dad valued her dignity, his son’s dignity and his grandson’s dignity so little… *sigh
Oye. So right.
B
‘Puyallup’ is obviously a good ole Southern name with ‘yall’ stuck smack dab in the middle. Probably is short for “pick yall up”.
This guy obviously isn’t all that bright but he can hide behind his lawyer who more than likely is. Why people dispose of a body but leave the purse and car keys behind I don’t know. I guess it means they have no experience analyzing another person’s action from that person’s perspective.
Did any of you listen to the FIL’s online “music” compositions and singing? http://stevechantrey.com/Pages/Default.aspx
Romantic lyrics set to kiddie-tunes? Not irrelevant to his recent statements, imho.
Oh dear Blink …
I’m so, so glad to see this new article up from you about progression in the Susan Cox (Powell) case.
I’ve been following Susan’s case from that beginning – when Josh came out with his cock-and-bull story about the midnight camping trip with 2 preschoolers and the big red stain on the carpet back at home.
This past week … I’ve had renewed hope that LE was finally going to be able to have the evidence they need to hopefully bring Susan home to her family for a proper burial. (hate to say that).
That they’ll have the evidence they need to wipe those smug looks off of Joshua and his creepy father Steven’s faces.
UGH.
Somehow they are BOTH involved in Susan not being home with her babes. MOO
Father-in-laws latest remarks are bark bag worthy and truly disgust me.
I’ve been combing the web even more intently this past week when LE announced renewed specific searches up in old mining territory last week.
There was always rumors about old mine shafts possibly hiding secrets.
The sparse comments made by LE last week – hinted that they had specific area’s they were searching that came from significant leads.
Praise the Lord!!
Thank you Blink for covering this story.
Not gonna be a happy ending I’m afraid and probably even uglier than I’ve let my mind go to yet.
But the Cox family is devastated and they just want their precious daughter brought back with dignity.
I hold Mr Cox in the highest regard.
He and the rest of Susan’s family have turned they other cheek and held their tongues for a long time now — while idiot Joshua and Steven Powell have hurled insult after insult at them and not let them near the grandbabies.
It must hurt so much to not only lose your precious daughter, be denied any access to your grandbabies, and on top of all that to have Junior + Senior Powell totally degrade and insult your daughters memory and name.
God Bless the Cox family and give them the strength to face all that is coming.
If their is complete justice — the Cox family will have complete custody of Susan’s 2 babies soon.
If I thought someone killed my daughter and they made the kinds of comments the Powell’s have made, I’d probably be in jail right now.
There is only so much a person can take before acting. The Powell’s obviously have a disconnect between their brain and mouth.
The article about the search on yahoo.com this morning contains the following quote from Merritt: “Whether it’s the conclusion that everybody wants and hopes for, we don’t know. It may be a conclusion that nobody wants to admit could happen.” Rather odd statement. Any thoughts?
link please.
B
Yet another one Blink. When is it going to stop? The boyfriend sounds very hinky to me. Just saying.
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/crime/2011/08/25/ng.missing.bride.to.be.hln?hpt=hp_t2
I do believe we have a triangle, or we have a predator/stalker in her building or work.
God Bless, poor woman, she looks like a tenderheart.
B
I hate that I looked at that man’s website ~ FIL is a filthy pig and I believe has a unilaterly secretive method to his pervertedness (NOT!)What a freaking weirdo. The way JP and FIL both use the term “sexual”, it’s like they had a sit down for verbs to describe Susan and pervo FIL with his melodicly gross tone thinks describing her as “sexual” will taint her name. Sorry FIL, whatever is “sexual” to you is more than likely gross and abusive to whom you subject yourself to. Sorry Blink, I very much dislike this singing pervert.
SoCalGal, if the reporter quoted exactly, I thought that seemed a bit odd, as well. Here’s a link to the AP article containing that quote, although not on the yahoo site. http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2011/08/26/general-us-missing-mom-utah_8644217.html
You got that right, Al!
Excuse me for asking, but I am late to this dance, where was Steven when Susan went missing? Did he meet his son somewhere the night Josh took his children camping in the snow? Could Josh have left Susan somewhere and his papa came later to clean up? Is Susan somewhere closer to Washington than Utah? The creep factor is so high on Josh’s fathers comments about his daughter in law. Why is he the one that seemed to take possesion of Susan’s journals and not even Josh? I have hopeful feelings something will break soon for Susan. Oh yea why does Josh’s sister dislike her father so much. What did he do early on to cause these feelings?
Bless you Blink! I have several barf bags ready after hearing all of these disgusting allegations from Perv Sr. and Perv. Jr. I have been following this case from day 1 and talk about frustrating!
Please let there be an arrest and save Susan’s boys from these totally gross people that they reside with right now.
So Glad you are covering this sad case.
Lily I agree why would he say that-even if it were true- it makes him look like an Azz and ever so much worse than Susan-
This case has haunted me since you first reported on it Blink-
I am praying for the boys and for Susans family and friends.
SoCalGal- thanks for that quote- id like to see it in context but I agree it could be taken several ways-
Sending prayers- thanks again Blink.
AJMO
I hope the police are close to an arrest. I think of this poor woman often. She needs justice. And those sweet children need protection.
Blink: The link above to Kiirsi’s superbly written essay is a must-click. If only I could be so reasoned and eloquent.
Is there any party with standing to argue for an injunction by a judge to prevent the publishing of these journals at the present time? For example could they fall under a potential gag order in this case? Say they were the subject of a past or new warrant by the Utah courts as potential evidentiary materials? Or could friend or family have standing to argue for Susan in absentia?
I am basically asking if the public might be able to help the friends or family with legal costs to seek an immediate injunction in a court of jurisdiction?
Or perhaps has the WVPD already done so by gathering those materials in this latest search?
Joe- excellent point, my information says the current warrant is directly related to the journals.
As a hypothetical: Family A has a suspect/POI in a missing person case of Family B.
Family A makes public comments and/or threats as to the state of mind of missing person from Family B.
LE says- hmm, publishing of case relevant information? Public statements as to proof of it’s existance as well as a threat to it’s chain of custody or inegrity? We should probably have that.
Le- 1
Family A- o
Steve Powell told reporters outside the home Friday morning that investigators told him they were looking for Susan Powell’s journals – and they took his journals, as well.
“I didn’t want them to have my journals,” he told KOMO-TV. “There’s very embarrassing things in my journals.”
http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2011/08/26/general-us-missing-mom-utah_8644217.html
*****
Boo Hoo Hoo Steve, I bet Susan did not want you to have HER journals either. What embarrassing things are in you journal Steve?
B, thank you so so much for the update. I hope this puts an end to the sharades and lies.
Susan was drying out a ‘red stain’ on the carpet, then fled? Really Josh? If I were a hockey player, I’d have dropped my gloves in the first period.
The more these 2 talk, the more their implicate themselves. Now, I’m entertaining the idea that father in law was in on Susan’s disappearance. If not initially, he’s certainly enabling his low life son. He knows she’s dead.
How someone with the IQ of a sloth got this far without being arrested troubles me. And for the life of me, what did Susan see in this loser? He is stupid. Unintelligent. Talks like a complete, useless dolt. He’s unengaging and about as attractive as the back end of a bull. Susan is beautiful, smart, ambitious and above all, a devoted, loving mother. No diary exposed for all the world to see could make me believe differently. These two mo rons are cornering themselves. I hope they both feel emotionally tortured right now.
…and I’m loving that look of desperation and fear on Joshie’s face. Most gratifying, especially when he says he’s being set up by the police. That’s right, keep talking. Your guilty conscience is practically it’s own entity.
My prayers to those precious boys. They are in an abusive environment, complete with neglect and brain washing.
Watching the video of Steve Powell describing his (non-existent) sexual relationship with his daughter in law, he is having to suppress a smile the whole time he is talking. The man is beyond creepy.
It really bothers me that the children are still with him/them. They are not safe.
I always thought that there was only one creep, the husband. Now we find there are two.
This is not a new case. I just question why it took so long for LE to get to this stage. The van was suposedly searched once before. Apparently not very well.
Poor Susan, trapped in a situation that placed her too far away from home. She confided in her girlfriend, but did not tell her family. When a situation such as this arises, women are going to need to swallow their pride and ask for family help.
I hope LE has the necessary information to charge Josh or the father or both with her disappearance.
It seems from Day 1 the husband has almost teased LE with his dumbass stories which would be impossible to believe. The FIL sounds absolutely repulsive. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a hand in something to do with Susan’s disappearance. I just pray LE can nail Josh and find justice for Susan. Prayers for these young boys.
Thanks God for the court order. Nothing is sacred or private for Susan’s husband and in-laws. The other day overheard on local news how Josh went on to describe how Susan had a low self-esteem while dodging inquiry if he killed her!
Court bans publication of Susan Powell’s journal – Aug 26, 2011:
“court ordered Josh Powell, and his father, Steven Powell, to “immediately cease” publication of entries from Susan’s private journal. It also orders the husband and father-in-law to “immediately remove” Susan’s journal entries from their website, SusanPowell.org, and from any other public forum where the entries are posted. They also are prohibited from giving copies of the journal to the press.”
http://www.komonews.com/news/local/128492198.html
LOL! – maybe be media should publish FIL dairies instead!
“Steven Powell ….says they (PD) also took his own journal, along with videos and photos he took of Susan. “I didn’t want them to have my journals,” Steven Powell said. “There’s some very embarrassing things in my journals.” http://www.komonews.com/news/local/128483088.html
There are very embarrassing things every time he open his pie hole. Fruit of the skeeve tree, lovely.
B
Well slap my @$$ and call me Billy.
I’m cooking dinner and this THOUGHT came to me about the reason behind the ‘threat’ of publishing Susan’s diary. I even thought…’Blink is going to reward me with a B biscuit for this one’. Kidding!
B beat me to it (shocking, isn’t it?). A infantile analogy…..’oh yeah, you tell on me, and I’ll tell everyone in the school Susan was easy’. It’s a threat to the LE and Susan’s family. A cowardly way to bargain.
These 2 fools can threaten to tarnish Susan’s character but the truth is, they’re only exposing who they really are. White trash. You’re not a real man unless you show your woman who the boss is.
Y’all need to read the links. The Powell boys are completely devoid of goodness. If Susan’s wee men aren’t removed from them, the pattern will continue. I’m sure there’s damage already, why mommy chose to leave them.
My sincere thanks for that deep belly laugh!
B
I sure wish a judge could step in and place Susans boys with Grandpa Cox and family.
I fear for their safety now that the noose is tightening around Jr + Sr Powell.
Those poor kids have been living in an emotionally abusive environment since December 9, 2009 when Josh took them God knows where at midnight.
Since then – the brainwashing that the Powell family has no doubt filled their little noggins with will take a lifetime of therapy to undo.
The lies they’ve filled their heads with about their beloved Mommy.
But now, I fear their PHYSICAL safety as well.
Who knows what Jr + Sr Powell are both capable of when they get to feeling even more like trapped rats?
Both of them have some major issues – lots of anger underneath all that BS they are spewing.
I pray that they don’t aim that anger at the boys.
An arrest soon sure would be great. Hard to take custody from crap-dad until then.
Please keep these 2 little guys safe.
The Cox family needs to have those 2 babes soon and custody forever.
Ragdoll= You know kiddo you are so right! Josh has a negative I.Q. and the personality of a small soap dish. The back-end of a bull is more attractive than he is. The father’s interview is made of stuff than even Stephen King could not dream up.
This is so distressing. I’m surprised at how sick I feel about it all.
Thx for the link to Steve’s singing slophouse. He sounds immature, insecure, and self-serving. His words and lyrics have a disconnect (as someone here mentioned already)–I’m wondering if he’s latently homosexual.
http://stevechantrey.com/Pages/Default.aspx
He details the “secretive and unilateral” decision-making of both his parents, as well as the abandonment, hardship, and abuse he experienced (cayenne on the tongue?). Steve.has.issues.
When we hear the he plans to publish Susan’s journals and has a stack of his own (containing ‘embarrassing’ material) I feel something is very contrived here and may have been part of his plan to discredit her, take the focus from Josh, and give himself a massive ego massage.
http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2011/08/26/general-us-missing-mom-utah_8645623.html
Hopefully, LE can protect Susan’s dignity and get into the head of Perv Senior. And what an unpleasant journey that will be.
Oh, good. Court bans publication of the journals.

Word Girl-
Very interesting linky links, I thank you. I did not know Ann Bremner was representing the Cox family, and I am thrilled.
Makes sense about some of Mr. Cox recent public comments.. Listen to your lawyer Cox family
B
Message to SP, aka FIL..”Me thinks thou dost protest too much!” DIL missing for 20 months and NOW you come up with this self serving BS. And your son says, “ubba, ubba, uh, I dint know that”. Who are these people?! I have to quit getting hooked on these cases. The psychology is what snags me. I’m a midwest small town girl from a wonderful family. Now an elementary school teacher in a suburban area. Between this abhorrent case and “c-word”, it all just gets my dander up. Might have something to do with my Friday night glass of wine…..
Hmm…the journal entry is still up at Senior P’s website.
It’s almost 7pm on the west coast: when do they plan to take it down?
Or maybe they think they’ve got the weekend to comply? Scuzzers.

You said it better than I could!!! Big love friendy XO
Both of these fruit loops make my skin crawl, creepy!!
It seems to me that if Josh and/or his dad are at a breaking point, the children should be moved from their custody. I am afraid of a murder/suicide possiblily.
deja vous with the speculations in the public about George, sure worked for him and his goals to help his daughter get away everything and anything to do with her daughter’s disappearance.
If Blink is right about Josh nearing breaking point, this may be why this is happening now– orchestration.
