The more that comes out about Powell and his father, the worse it gets. The court hearings over custody have been covered on the local news...can't imagine what Susan Powell's parents are going through now.

And those poor kids, I can't even imagine. Does this mean that they now think he's responsible for her disappearance and are they still looking? I recognized KING as from the Seattle area...

He's always been the main suspect but they've never found a body. He moved back to the Seattle area after she disappeared, then his father got involved, saying Susan had been coming on to him. Father and son both have been busted for having child porn on their computers.

Sorry, I'm rattling...this whole thing has me really ticked off. Just a question of time before everyone start blaming CPS, but, imo, they did everything right.



edited to add: By killing his two boys, Josh Powell showed he hated his in-laws, who were granted custody, more than he loved his kids.
