http://www.deseretnews.com/article/7...ells-home.htmlWhy were there two fans blowing on a wet spot on the living room floor of Susan Powell's home last Monday?
It's just one question her family would like answered in connection with the suspicious disappearance of the 28-year-old West Valley City mother of two.
Police noticed the spot when they broke into the house to see if the family had been poisoned by carbon monoxide, according to Powell's father, Chuck Cox. He said a family member who was with police at the time conveyed the information to him.
Cox said the presence of the wet spot initially gave him hope the family may have simply rushed to the hospital after an accident.
I am curious about that, too!!

Josh has lawyered up...... http://www.examiner.com/x-22460-Seat...hires-attorney
I really don't see much mystery here. Looks like Josh is hiding a lot. I would think that such a rural area would make cell phone pings easier to follow. Has anyone read if Josh took his cell phone on the ahemm, "camping trip."
Someone created a facebook group for her, it reads that people are asked by LE not to post links to media stories.
I'm sorry but his story is the WORST I've heard in a long time. He knows exactly where she's at... if he wants to do right, tell police where she is and man up to what you did*
*Wishful thinking but either way, I hope they nail him
I saw her dad on the news and hes beginning to think his son in law hasnt been truthful. Kinda like Scott Peterson fishing in a sleet storm xmas eve.These guys really need new material.He wont even speak to her father or her side so thats something right there.The brother in law defending him all over the news is from HIS side so that shoots the theory of her side supporting him and saying hes torn up is quashed!

I agree, He's just pathetic.... My God, even if she wasnt missing he would still be a freaking fool to take his babies "camping" (They slept in the car) in the middle of nowhere, in below zero temperature? That is insane!Originally Posted by Ninja0980
And the wet spot in the carpet, he left fans on to help dry it more quickly. Wonder what he spilled?
Powell didn't take a four year old and a two year old camping in the middle of a snowstorm, at midnight, no less, but he did take them somewhere while they slept and wherever the kiddos woke up, is where they "camped". The s'mores thing has me bothered, don't most folks use a bonfire to do that kind of thing? Or the new age propane method? Have they checked the van for one of those?
And this happened on Sunday, because her best friend said she talked to Susan on Sunday afternoon. Or was that an error and it actually was Saturday? And I'm sure Powell was hoping that spot would be dry by the time he and the children were back home!
So, I know it would take some manpower, but they should take a helicopter and fly out about 200 miles in every direction from the home and scour the landscape for signs.
Watch this video, Josh speaks (at about 1:15 on the counter) to the reporter!

Shifty, eh?
"One comes to suspect that more people are certifiably insane than can produce a certificate." (Robert Brault)
The fans were left running while they were gone? Is that the story?
Because I certainly wouldn't leave fans running near anything wet while I was out of the house. That's just me though. Too many stories around here of fires caused by space heaters and such to leave anything unnecessary like that running when you can't be around to keep an eye out.
Also, Utah (as has been noted) isn't exactly warm this time of year. 2 fans? FANS?

http://www.sltrib.com/justice/ci_13998464Koshua Powell, whose wife disappeared from their West Valley City home on Dec. 7, was called in for another interview with police Monday, but never showed up.
Police Capt. Tom McLachlan said he didn't know why Powell didn't show up for the interview. He has met with police twice since Susan Powell disappeared a week ago. McLachlan said the investigation is "moving slowly" but that Joshua Powell is not considered a suspect.
[...]
Joshua Powell retained attorney Scott C. Williams on Monday to represent him.
Susan Powell's father, Charles Cox, has said that he doesn't believe Joshua Powell had anything to do with his daughter's disappearance.
"Mister Cox's take on [Joshua Powell getting a lawyer] is that it does not prove any guilt," said Mike Gifford, a family friend, on Monday. "[Joshua] is maybe feeling he's in over his head. ... He felt he needed someone to speak for him. "
[...]
"Mister Cox feels very confident in the police's handling of the investigation," Gifford said. "They want to get this out nationally. There is a very good likelihood at this time that Susan could have been taken out of state.
"Mister Cox wants people to know that Susan is not the kind of woman that would have left her kids behind. If she is not calling family, she's not able to or circumstances are preventing her from doing so," Gifford said.
[...]
Those connected with Powell's case say they're not sure where to start.
"I just don't know what neighborhoods [to look in]," said Kiirsi Hellewell, Susan Powell's best friend. "We can't pick the whole valley."
Hellewell also said she thought too much time had passed between when Susan Powell, 28, was last seen by her husband, Joshua, and when she was reported missing by a family member around 11 a.m. Monday. The window of time could have allowed her to be anywhere, even in another state, Hellewell said.

This guy really gets me... Was he inspired by Scott Peterson.... Drew Peterson, and Drew was a Chicago cop...
Here's an idea: D-I-V-O-R-C-E... I mean regardless of the circumstances, this guy was no Madoff... It's not like he has Picasso's and Rembrandt's in his house... And he can't say he didn't want to lose his kids because last time I checked he can't take them to prison with him... so now they lose both parents (when it comes out he killed her, Im sure it will) when he could have had joint custody and still been able to see them. They would have been better off... this guy is a real piece of shit.. He can't speak for himself... he drags his kids out in the cold for some stupid camping trip... His brother in law gives more doubt to his credibility and he just looks more guilty... Im really going to watching this one closely...
~ You Get What You Go After But Keep What You Deserve ~
Honestly I saw him speak lastnight for the first time and as for being a real estate agent ,Im not thinking he would be to good at it.He seems slow and not just sleep deprived slow.He was talking and then went all dreamy eyed talking about smores!!I think he will break shortly from stress.I have the Laci Peterson book For Laci her mom wrote and the police asked her family to publicly not doubt Scott. Police very early on doubted his story and so did her family but publicly they didnt say anything until they spoke with Amber themselves.And I believe her family doubts every word that comes from his mouth

If he's a realtor, I'd check the vacant houses he's listing for evidence. I totally saw this on an episode of Ghost Whisperer!
I want more details on the supplies he supposedly used for camping. I need some forensic testing on all of that stuff, STAT. Thanks.
lol I did too.Wasnt that just 2 or 3 weeks ago??

It's so obvious he killed her.
This guy is an absolute LOSER. FFS, couldn't he even think of a better story? It's ridiculous. I hope the hell LE finds what they need soon to find Susan Powell's body & nail this guy. They need to get the kids away from him; he killed their mother (IMO)!
What gets me is they say that they cant verify the story about camping b/c it had snowed sicne then.Well if they can go back 30+yrs and vaccum a home where a child molester and murderer lived and get viable DNA from a friggen vent or heat duct .Are they saying that theres no proof what so ever of a campfire or indentations in the snow or under the snow??Theres got to be something there and if there isnt then its like everyones said all along he didnt go camping!!!

http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=9050899&autostart=yWest Valley City police now are calling the husband of a missing woman one of several persons of interest in the case.
[...]
During an interview earlier Wednesday morning, Black said investigators are treating her disappearance as a criminal investigation. He also said if evidence presents itself to confirm that, Josh Powell could become a key suspect.
"I don't know what to believe about Josh. I don't know what he does know and what he doesn't know," Black said.
"He's made comments to the media like he doesn't know where she is," Black continued. "But as far as making specific comments to the police department (more) than just general questions that would help identify her if she were found, we've been unable to be specific with him about those kinds of details."
Tuesday police took DNA samples from Josh Powell. Detectives call it a "preemptive" move in case those samples are ever needed. They also conducted a brief interview after he failed to show up for a scheduled interview Monday. Police say they got only basic information from him. Black says he wouldn't characterize Powell as "cooperative."
Powell had been advised by his newly-retained attorney, Scott Williams, to hold off on talking to police Monday. Williams told the Salt Lake Tribune he needed time to gather information so he could advise his client.
[...]
Police say this is still a missing person case. They are treating it like a criminal investigation to preserve the integrity of it. Police say gathering DNA evidence is just a step in that process.

What if he hired someone to "take care" of her while he was gone? Maybe he really doesn't know what happened to her and he really doesn't know where she is.
Also, someone commented on one of these news articles stating there are a lot of mines in the area he said he went camping.
I'll say two things on this case.
1) I think he killed her. His story is full of holes and he WAS the last person to see her alive.
2) In the same breath, one thing that drives me nuts is people ripping him apart for getting a lawyer. As I said before, I think he's guilty but getting a lawyer is something we all have a right to. To declare someone guilty based on that is a no-no in my book. There was a man released last week for a rape and murder he didn't commit. He never asked for a lawyer because he knew he was innocent and innocent people don't need them. As he and countless others have learned...that isn't true. Lawyers are supposed to look out for their clients and that includes making sure the police don't put words in their client's mouths.
Of all the reasons I can list for why I think he did it... him asking for a lawyer won't be one of them.
I pray her body will be found so he can be arrested and brought to justice.
I have np with him having a lawyer anyone with a brain cell in this position would be stupid not to lawyer up.Not only to make sure your treated properly(if you have nothing to hide) but also they have mind games and can really fuck up if theres no one to help you through the legalities.I just find it odd thats hes claimed bankruptcy and yet gets the highest paid lawyer in the area unless maybe theres insurance money someplace.And truthfully Im just glad its not Gloria Alred again!!So sick of her face and mouth

Here is my take on lawyering up: You need to balance the risk of self incrimination versus the benefit of finding your wife.
If you are being completely open with the police, there is the possibility that something you say could get contorted into something culpable and that some crazy prosecutor might try to pin something on you.
OTOH, if you tell the police everything, there is the possibility that something you say, that you think is trivial, may in fact lead the police to the true perp.
In this particular case, the husband decided that the risk to himself was of more concern than the possible benefit of finding his wife (or actual perp).
If I were he and guilty, I would not talk, "on advice of counsel."
If I were he and innocent, I would tell the police that I realize that I am a tasty suspect,
so let’s do the lie detector thing, go get the sodium pentothal, ask whatever, so that the police would become fairly convinced that I was not guilty, and so then the police would follow the clues that don't point to the husband.
I would cooperate but also have a lawyer with me.. solely because even if I'm innocent, the spouse is ALWAYS the best suspect (for good reasons). I used to be in the camp if you're innocent you should cooperate fully but seeing how many innocent people have been released from prisons and cases botched because of "confessions" etc, my option is the second police say you're a suspect or consider one, grab the lawyer.
Lie detector tests are another peave of mine. My mother is from Wichita and my Grandma lived there her whole life. They lived down the street from one of the victims Dennis Rader AKA BTK killed. Her husband became the main suspect (and stayed that way for 18 years) in part because he failed not one but two lie detector tests. If you're nervous as heck, you can be telling the truth and you'll flunk it. A reason they aren't allowed in court.
Having said all that... Josh Powell is guilty as sin in my book.

Indeed. On the flipside you could be lying through your teeth and pass with flying colors.If you're nervous as heck, you can be telling the truth and you'll flunk it.
A buddy of mine is a state trooper and explained how in less than 5 minutes at lunch one day.
Don't judge me;) it's just that there isn't much to talk about with a state trooper that doesn't incriminate you while having a whataburger.
I don't think he's guilty because of a lawyer.
I think he's guilty because he did it.
