Susan Cox Powell Timeline December 6, 2009

[main timeline]


Date: December 6, 2009  Sunday


Time: 10:00AM - 12:00 PM : Susan Cox Powell, 28, and her two sons attend church services at the Hunter 36th LDS Ward / stake building. They walk home with friend Kiirsi Hellewell. Joshua does not attend church.

Time: 12:14PM: Phone records released in 2012 show Josh called his father Steven at 12:14PM. Bloggers speculate that Steve could have coached Josh on Susan's disappearance.

Time: Before 2PM: Josh started cooking late breakfast / brunch of pancakes.


Time: 2PM:  Neighbor JoVonna Owings visits the Powell's West Valley City home on Sunday afternoon to visit with Susan to help untangle yarn for crocheting and invited for dinner or late brunch of pancakes. 

Time: 2:29PM: the last phone call made or received on Susan Powell’s mobile phone was at 2:29 PM on December 06, 2009 when she called Jovanna Owings.

Time: 4:00PM: Josh made breakfast of "scrambled eggs with onions and bell peppers and pancakes with cream cheese.” after what Jovanna thought was an unusually long delay. Chuck Cox believes Susan might have been poisoned or drugged "And when the husband fixes a meal for the family and all of a sudden, somebody's sick..." Asked if he believed Susan was poisoned, Chuck and Judy Cox said "anything's possible." "Or drugged," Chuck Cox said. "Or something."

Time: 5:00-5:30 PM Susan, who was feeling ill, laid down for a nap about 5 p.m. Owings left, as did Joshua Powell, who said he was taking his two sons sledding.
She went on, “Josh said he’d take the kids out sledding while she rested, and I left at the same time he and the boys left, between 5 and 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 6.”

Time: 8:30 PM A neighbor sees Josh Powell returns home and park in his garage. He says he has returned from sledding, but is it possible he returned for last minute supplies such as the shovel, gasoline, or tarp discovered in his van the next day? Did anyone see him at a hardware store that day or evening?

Time: Before 11:00? Sofa is cleaned and fans are set up. 
Search warrants unsealed Friday 3/29/2012 by a Washington judge reveal evidence kept from public by West Valley City police that they verified Susan Powell's blood was found on floor tile near a wet carpet and sofa.  
 Josh told police that before leaving he "washed" the couch and placed a fan nearby to dry it. He says "we made and agreement, that I would wash the couch and she would shovel the walkway." Grandfather Steven Powell who was in Puyallup Washington had a different version, that Susan 
decided to clean the carpets herself, and told of a red spot on the carpet underneath the couch that was "probably juice or something"

Time: Before 11:00: Josh claims Susan is ok with camping trip: 
hen he had decided to take the boys camping he indicated his wife was "ok with it". He noted that her biggest concern was that the boys stayed warm. Mr. Powell estimated that the Pony Express trailhead was less than 40 miles out of town.


Time: 11:45PM: Alarm Goes Off In Garage: Neighbor hears car alarm go off in garage for a couple of minutes shortly before Josh says he went on camping trip. It goes off before they can consider knocking and seeing if everything is OK. Bloggers speculate if there was some sort of last struggle with Susan who might not have been totally knocked out.

  • Date: December 6, 2009 Time: 12:14 PM
    Josh calls father Steve (for fatherly advice?)

    Joshua Powell’s mobile phone records revealed that he last used his mobile phone on December 06, 2009 at 12:14 PM when he called his father, Steven Powell. Bloggers speculate that Steve could have coached Josh on how to deal with Susan.



    Date December 6, 2009 Time: 2PM

    Neighbor JoVonna Owings visits the Powell's West Valley City home on Sunday afternoon to visit with Susan. The family had eaten pancakes and eggs for dinner. Susan, who was reportedly feeling ill, takes a nap at about 5 p.m. Owings left, as did Josh Powell, who said he was taking his two sons sledding.
    Others have been more supportive, yet more guarded in their in their portrayals of Josh Powell. Jovanna Owings, who was the last person to see Susan (other than Josh and the kids) before she vanished, has characterized the evening of December 6th as a normal dinner (of pancakes made by Josh), with pleasant conversation and work on a crocheting project. But one thing sticks out in my mind. Susan suddenly went to bed feeling sick, even before Jovanna had departed. (poisoned?)
    It was crocheting that brought Susan Powell together with fellow churchgoer JoVonna Owings. That friendship continued, and, shortly after Thanksgiving this year, Owings began baby-sitting Saturdays for the Powells.
    On Dec. 6, she was at the Powells' home, helping Susan untangle yarn, and joined the family for a dinner of pancakes and scrambled eggs that Joshua Powell made.
    "Susan is very energetic and enthusiastic. She's sort of like the Energizer Bunny," Owings said. "She was an excellent mother and wife. She took care of her family, house and husband, and often made meals from scratch."

    Susan's Last Phone Call to Jovanna


    the last phone call made or received on Susan Powell’s mobile phone was at 2:29 PM on December 06, 2009 when she called Jovanna Owings.


    Date: December 6, 2009 Time: 4:00PM 
    Josh Finishes His Knockout Pancake and Egg Dinner 

    "He made us scrambled eggs with onions and bell peppers and pancakes with cream cheese.”


    Afternoon, Dec. 6 » Neighbor JoVonna Owings dropped by the Powells' home Sunday afternoon to visit with Susan Powell. The family had pancakes for dinner.

    JoVonna Owings clears up a misconception about the day Susan Powell disappeared 
    January 30, 2:22 AM

    “The only thing that I thought was a little unusual was that Josh took so long to prepare brunch," she said, "Susan took the kids to church in the morning and walked home around noon. I came to their house for the afternoon to spend time with the family and to help Susan untangle some yarn."

    Josh had already started cooking before we got there and didn’t have the meal ready until about 4 p.m. I just figured he didn’t have much experience in the kitchen. When we did eat it was a pleasant meal. He made us scrambled eggs with onions and bell peppers and pancakes with cream cheese.”

    "He served us individually. He served the food and gave each person their plates - Susan, Charlie, Braden, himself, and me. I thought he did that for portion-control," she said.

    “Not long after we ate Susan was tired and wanted to take a nap,” Owings said. “One misconception I’d like to clear up is that Susan did not say she was sick and she did not appear sick. She was just tired and wanted to rest for a little while."

    She went on, “Josh said he’d take the kids out sledding while she rested, and I left at the same time he and the boys left, between 5 and 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 6.”

    JoVonna said she offered to bring the yarn back that evening but Josh said no, not to worry about it because Susan wouldn't get a chance to work on it until her next days off.

    “Whatever it is that’s happened to Susan, I don’t believe it something she’s doing. It’s something being done to her. She wouldn’t leave her kids - it’s not in her to walk away from her children.”

    Chuck Cox: Susan could be poisoned or drugged
    Susan Cox Powell's parents have taken issue with Powell's version of events. "I think everybody knows you don't go camping in the middle of the night in a snowstorm," Chuck Cox told FOX 13 the day after the murder-suicide. "And when the husband fixes a meal for the family and all of a sudden, somebody's sick..." Asked if he believed Susan was poisoned, Chuck and Judy Cox said "anything's possible." "Or drugged," Chuck Cox said. "Or something."
    Date: December 6, 2009 Time: 5PM Josh takes boys sledding as Susan takes a nap

    Susan, who was feeling ill, laid down for a nap about 5 p.m. Owings left, as did Joshua Powell, who said he was taking his two sons sledding.
    She went on, “Josh said he’d take the kids out sledding while she rested, and I left at the same time he and the boys left, between 5 and 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 6.”

    Date: December 6, 2009 Time: 5-8PM 

    Boys were sledding from 5 to 8 PM, Josh woke them up after they were asleep to go camping. 

    She was so tired after eating Josh Powell's pancake dinner that he made sure not to serve buffet style, that she had to go lie down. Josh indicated that he decided in the middle of the night (when he and Susan both had to be at work the next day) to wake the boys up from their sound sleep (after they had already been sledding from 5 pm to 8 pm that night) to go on a camping trip in the wilderness (where there is no cell phone signal) "to do smores". That was during a dangerous snow storm. Susan wasn't feeling well, she was due at work the next day, Josh left the house he says around 12:30 am... Susan left her cell phone inside, Continue reading on Examiner.com  Examiner.com http://www.examiner.com/headlines-in-seattle/where-is-susan-powell-her-father-law-thinks-she-s-having-a-fling-hopes-she-ll-land-on-her-feet-1#ixzz1mP1CHkOK

    comments: 



  • If they put the fans there, then what if Josh killed her and left with her and "Supposedly" went to go do "smores" while actually burying her body...it would be extremely helpful and something may be spilled if you get the kids to speak what they might have heard or seen. I think that they may be an important source and it would be smart if you asked them. And why won't Josh show the campsite he was at? There may be something he is hiding about there. Kyr:  If he really hated her that much then he could of gotten a divorce or something much more easy going then killing her. Also the wet spots on the floor were prob. blood. I think he killed her packed her up, put her in the car and burried her. I myself would ask the kids what they saw and heard, you cant just ask one person and have the whole story down. And from what I have heard i am guessing that it was either Steven or josh powell. Josh it wasnt your place to hurt susan.

    Josh Drives Into Garage

    Last night's "Nightline" episode
    http://abcnews.go.com/watch/nightline/SH5584743/VD55140932/nightline-825-irene-cometh-state-emergencies-declared
    Thanks, that guy gives me the creeps. :puke:
    The search warrant not allowing ALL rooms searched???
    Oh no come on, the whole family would HIDE stuff for dad and brother!
    I have a feeling they would if they knew the cops were coming but I think they were totally caught off guard.
    That was my thought, too. She was drugged/poisoned, and she got up and vomited. It also could be that the chemical caused bleeding in her stomach which is why the stain was red. I believe it was planned, too, because HE made the dinner (was he the kind of guy who cooked dinner often for them???) and HE served her the pancakes meant for HER. I think it was planned, but not planned well because he was in a state of anger and didn't THINK clearly about everything like her purse and cell phone being left behind, etc.
    The "juice" could have been Kool Aid. Strawberry or Cherry Kool Aid are dark red.
    In KOMO link:
    On Friday morning, Steve Powell said police also took his personal journals and videos he had taken of Susan."I didn't want them to have my journals," he told KOMO News. "There's very embarrassing things in my journals."
    So now...Did they take Josh's journal's also? How old are SP's journals they confiscated, since he stopped attending the LDS church? I'm sure they will tell a story. :shocked2:Did he continue with his journalizing? I'd place a bet on yes.
    Investigators have declined to discuss what pieces of evidence they gathered.
    "What we have here today will help us draw closer to a conclusion," Merritt said. "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."
    What could this mean? She did leave on her own? LE told Mr C that didn't happen:
    Cox said regardless of what Josh and Steve Powell have said, detectives have already proven their claims to be wrong.
    "What the police have released is that they're sure that there's nothing to the theory that Susan went off on
    That sounds like a very odd day.
    She was feeling ok enough to invite the friend over to work on the yarn.
    But after eating she is so tired she goes to bed for a nap while the friend is still there. Does sound unusual.
    Then Josh makes the decision for her not to come back later to work on the yarn. Hmmm.
    Josh sounds very attentive that day. Noticing she was chilled, preparing supper. Doing dishes. I wonder if he was normally that attentive or if it was just for show.
    She says they got there about noon, and JP was already cooking.
    Simple meal, eggs pancakes etc. Not real complicated or time consuming.
    Yet the meal wasn't ready until almost 4?
    Sounds more like stalling than someone unfamiliar with the kitchen. I wonder if her visit there that day was planned or unplanned? And if Josh was aware she was coming for the meal?
    mysteriew;YES, that sounds like a very odd day.
    Taking 4 hours to scramble some eggs and do pancakes? her own. And they basically have gone on record about that issue. That helps a lot. And they've clearly said that Josh is still a person of interest, because that's clearly contrary to what Josh is saying."
    I think Josh may have already made meals for his entire family with plans to kill Susan and the kids or at least knock them all out so he could kill Susan without any witnesses. When Susan came home with a friend, he needed to start over and make a new meal. He was probably hoping the friend would leave before he served the food and when she didn't leave, he had to create a new meal or additional food that didn't have the poison added.
    Could this be why he stated he would never hurt his wife or his boys? Is it because he knows his original plan was to kill both Susan and the boys?
    Robbie, I'm starting to wonder myself...
    did Josh "drug" Susan (as per the brunch he made her and her friend late Sunday afternoon wherein she had to lay down afterwards b/c she was so tired). He served everything individually (her friend thought b/c he wanted to "portion-control" (kids). The friend leaves b/c Susan is laying down, Josh leaves with the boys at the same time to go tobogganing"..
    The friend said that she thought the reason why Josh took so long to make brunch was b/c he was inexperienced in the kitchen. But it has been reported that Josh used to spend hours talking to his dad on the phone. Maybe he was on the phone being coached while making brunch.
    Did the dad pay a visit and help execute The Plan? Was the alarm heard for two minutes late at (11:00PM?) Susan's call for help?
    Given everything that Josh and esp. his dad has said to disparage Susan, I believe both are guilty of whatever became of Susan Cox. The alarm going off for so long so late at night piques my interest to no end. Have LE luminal'd the garage?
    robbie, I'm bringing this over from another thread I posted it on:
    http://www.examiner.com/headlines-in-seattle/jovonna-owings-clears-up-a-misconception-about-the-day-susan-powell-disappeared-video
    {...}
    JoVonna said, “Susan and I knew each other from church for about a year and became close friends about a month before she went missing. I was with her on the day she disappeared and I’ve often wondered what I could have done differently, is there something I should have seen or heard that would have raised a red flag?"
    “The only thing that I thought was a little unusual was that Josh took so long to prepare brunch," she said, "Susan took the kids to church in the morning and walked home around noon. I came to their house for the afternoon to spend time with the family and to help Susan untangle some yarn."
    “Josh had already started cooking before we got there and didn’t have the meal ready until about 4 p.m. I just figured he didn’t have much experience in the kitchen. When we did eat it was a pleasant meal. He made us scrambled eggs with onions and bell peppers and pancakes with cream cheese.”
    "He served us individually. He served the food and gave each person their plates - Susan, Charlie, Braden, himself, and me. I thought he did that for portion-control," she said.
    JoVonna remembers things went well during their late brunch and that Josh and Susan showed no signs of trouble.
    “Not long after we ate Susan was tired and wanted to take a nap,” Owings said.
    “One misconception I’d like to clear up is that Susan did not say she was sick and she did not appear sick. She was just tired and wanted to rest for a little while."
    NIC! I am dumbfounded by what you have written! The hubs was possibly making her Last Meal (guilty guilty guilty!) and then she laid down, feeling tired?! HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR INDEED!
