Susan Powell (family photo)

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.
