Family and friends of Susan Powell are launching a 72 hour media blitz and purple ribbon campaign starting today.  The goal is to get as much attention and coverage for Susan who went missing on December 7, 2009.  This effort will use facebook, twitter, and youtube to get the word out about this missing mom, and the goal is to drum up new leads for investigators.  Since her disappearance, Susan’s husband, Josh Powell has been named a person of interest.

Josh Powell is not the sole person of interest, Assistant Chief Black told me they have other persons of interest, but they are not naming those people at this time.  Please keep in mind, a person of interest can be eliminated in an investigation, or can graduate to becoming a suspect.  Josh Powell is not a suspect at this time.  Although Josh is not considered a suspect, I am also told that he is not cooperating with the investigation at all, and will not answer specifics about his wife’s disappearance.  His lawyer has not been in contact with authorities recently as well. Josh at this time, from what we know, is visiting family members in Washington state.  He drove more than 900 miles to be in Washington, and attend a prayer vigil on Sunday night for his wife Susan, and he did not speak to her parents while he was there.  He did however speak to one of Susan’s sisters, and gave her a hug.
