THE SEARCH CONTINUES FOR MISSING MOM SUSAN POWELL

Over the weekend, dozens of searchers descended on the area where missing mom Susan Powell’s husband says he went camping the night she disappeared.  Josh Powell is officially named a “person of interest” in this case, but investigators have not moved forward with any official charges.  When Susan went missing on December 7, 2009, Josh told investigators he took his two small children out in the middle of the night in the West Desert. Since then many searches have been executed, but unfortunately nothing has been uncovered.  Since the warm weather broke in the spring, many bodies have been discovered throughout the area where Susan went missing. None of the bodies have been Susan.

As for Susan’s family, they aren’t going to let the public forget their loved one. A billboard for the missing mom is now standing tall along route 161 in Washington State.  Susan’s parents, Chuck and Judy Cox, want to put their daughter back in the hearts of everyone with hopes of drumming up new leads.  This billboard is near the Cox’s home in Puyallup, Washington, the same place Josh Powell moved with their two small children not long after Susan went missing.  The Cox family has plans to put another billboard up in the Salt Lake City area this week.

REMAINS FOUND IN IDAHO: COULD THEY BELONG TO SUSAN POWELL?

A few days ago human remains were found off a beaten path in Idaho.  The location where the body was recovered is a little less than four hours away from where missing mom Susan Powell was last seen.  It’s been more than four months since Susan went missing from her home in Utah.  Although the case has faded fast from the spotlight, it is still personally close to my heart and mind.  I keep in touch with Capt. McLaughlin from the West Valley City Police Department, and he told me they are looking into the possibility that the remains could be Susan, but investigators in Idaho believe they could be the remains of a woman who went missing three years ago.  Capt. McLaughlin says, “They aren’t 100% sure, until they get positive ID through dental records.”  It could take a few weeks to make a positive ID.
