Demons and Saints: Murder of Susan Cox Powell's Family

Demons and Saints: Murder of Susan Cox Powell's Family
url: http://hu1st.blogspot.com/p/demons-and-saints-murder-of-susan-cox.html

This is the first Book (on a blog) on the Susan Cox Powell family murder / suicide case in progress

Compiled by an Asian American dad  who wants to public to also remember the unsolved Murder of Robert Eric Wonewhose murder(s) also got away despite obvious clues. I also wrote about a story of Fundamentalist Mormons vs Child Protective Services in a book called "The Flowers Cried in Texas" at the Yearning for Zion polygamist compound in Texas. That was a case in which the children feared the CPS more than their polygamist parents or their prophet and authorities feared another fiery apocalyptic end like the Waco siege. But Josh Powell indeed staged his own fiery end for him and the surviving boys of the family of Josh and Susan Powell and boys Braden and Charlie. Josh  was clearly driven by demons, the Mormons often like to call themselves "saints" as in "latter day", and victims were certainly angels if not  saints.

The story of a couple who met at a LDS singles group, married in a Temple wedding (which is the highest kind they have) and have two beautiful boys. Of all American religions and ethnic groups, the Mormons perhaps have the most to brag about upholding model marriages and families. But in this case the marriage heads for the rocks through disputes and even bankruptcy which first attracts national attention when who Nancy Grace describes as a "gorgeous 28 year old stock broker mother two" goes missing when the father Josh Powell returns from a midnight camping trip in subfreezing cold with a story about taking the boys for sledding and s'mores. There are suspicions, but authorities claim they don't have enough evidence to name Powell as more than a person of interest after searching his house, asking for numerous interviews, and seizing property from his house. Now in 2012, questions in the mind of many of his possible guilt are answered when the boys start drawing pictures of their mother in the back of the van on the camping trip, that she was looking for gems in the mines but didn't come back with dad, and point to a woman's chest saying "oweee". The Dad From Hell slams the door on a worried social worker who frantically dials 9-11, while Josh says "I have a surprise for you" and takes a hatchet to his screaming and crying boys, sends out e-mails saying "I'm sorry goodbye" and blowing up his boys and himself in a blazes that sends debris flying all over the Puyallup neighborhood.


Meanwhile, Josh Powell's family condemned how Josh was the one who was bullied and abused into an apparent suicide double murder, as his sister Alina remains sure that Josh was innocent and his aunt and uncle blame the press and authorities and unfair persecution for his suicide.

      Facts

      • West Valley City police say Susan's purse and wallet were left at home. 
      • Van: 2005 light blue Chrysler Town and Country

      Why didn't West Valley City Name Josh as Suspect?


      These comments blame attitudes that side with the father against the woman because of the local culture / religion. Sounds outrageous but it smells like somebody did not want Josh to be prosecuted, nothing else explains why the held so much information that makes Josh look obviously guilty for so long, and that Utah authorities were angry when it was released:

      • "After all, it's just another mouthy woman that got what she deserved" said an unnamed West Valley Utah town council member.
      • Joseph Smith Jr.: If it was the other way around they would have arrested Susan. Utah is still culturally geared towards the husband and father is sacrosanct til proven otherwise; even little weasels like Josh Powell. Any other jurisdiction in America would have arrested him on the spot or had a grand jury indict him before the week was out; not Utah.
      • Robert Berube Unapologetic LDS | Pro-America " What rubbish. They didn't have enough evidence to indict him. "

      by: Edward on September 02, 2010, 12:53:46 PM Law Enforcement and others that influence them have aided and abetted a murderer by doing little or nothing early on. Josh is obvious to anyone who studies true crime and especially to any homicide detective worth their salt. Josh has been allowed to walk away from murder and further more he has been allowed to take his children with him.Wait until They Grow Up !!  Josh will get his. They Will Not Forget.



      Jennifer Graves, Josh Powell's sister ... along with the Cox family, believes Josh Powell had something to do with Susan's disappearance. "In my heart, I'm quite convinced Josh is responsible for her disappearance," Graves said after Wednesday's hearing http://www.ksl.com/?nid=960&sid=17436323&autostart=y
      Older sister Denise Cox spoke to the Enquirer shortly after the memorial service for her two young nephews, 
      'We know without a doubt that Josh killed Susan. It was a cold, premeditated murder.
      'Before she went missing she told me that Josh cooked dinner for the family. I didn't think much of it at the time but he never did that. 
      'He believed women are inferior and should always be the one to cook and clean.
      'Josh knew a lot about poisons and we are convinced he put something lethal in Susan's food.'
      her family believes Josh poisoned his wife, put her body in his car, dumped her body during the camping trip and then disposed of her body the next day, likely in one of the abandoned mine shafts in the area.

      Kas~~LOL, I don’t have a toothpick stuck in my mouth either. I agree that the connection between Josh and his father is strange. Josh does act very juvenile for a man, I believe around 34 yrs old. I would like to know Steven’s whereabouts at the time Susan went missing. It is 872 miles approximately, from Utah to Washington. Did Steven report into work on those couple of days? Surely LE has checked this out.
      Susan goes missing. Josh takes the boys on that camping trip in freezing temps, leaving at midnight. Then we have that wet stain on the carpet left with fans drying it. The carpet must have been really soaked as when you shampoo a carpet, normally, you do not need fans to dry it. Susan’s purse and cell phone are still at the house. We have Josh deciding to cook pancakes for the family and asking his father how to make them. This was out of the ordinary for him to cook. Pancakes are made and then dished up to the family individually. Susan tells her friends that she has not been feeling good for the past couple of weeks. Josh is speaking to his father more frequently in the days leading up to Susan’s disappearance. When Josh gets off the phone, he is nasty with Susan. This indicates that Steven is telling Josh some pretty bad things about Susan.
      When you take all those things into consideration, it looks like Susan may have lost her life before Josh went camping. Possibly she was in the van, deceased, when he left on that trip. Josh may have told Susan that he wanted to share her with his father. This would freak Susan out and an altercation ensued that got totally out of control. Josh appears to be very emotionally unbalanced and his father seems to have some psychological hold on him. Josh must obey his father, Susan refuses to have sex with Steven and ends up on the livingroom floor, dead.
      The other scenario is that Susan was abducted by Steven with Josh’s blessing on the night he went camping. This is why I wonder if Steven has an alibi for that time frame.
