If I'm correct, this case makes my blood boil and tears flow.

Susan Powell disappeared from her home at 6254 W Sarah Cir, West Valley City, Utah on or around December 6, 2009. Susan, her husband, Josh, and her two sons, aged 2 and 4, were reported missing the next day after day care workers notified Josh's mother that the boys hadn't been dropped off. Unable to contact any of the family, police entered the home, fearing CO2 poisoning, but the only thing that was found were fans blowing on a large wet spot on the carpet.

Josh and his sons returned that afternoon with the two boys. He claimed he took the boys camping the night before (at around midnight), although officials could find no evidence at his 'campground'. The eldest son was interviewed, and told investigators that Susan went with them, but didn't come back. Josh's behavior became very suspicious, and investigators quickly zeroed in on him as a suspect in the disappearance of his wife.

By December 14th, Josh retained an attorney, and became uncooperative with police involving the investigation. A few days later, he took his sons and moved to Puyallup, Washington, near his family. He cut ties with Susan's family, accusing them of harassment.

Josh's father was arrested on child pornography charges in September 2011. Susan's family filed for, and were granted, temporary emergency custody of the two boys. In late 2011, Josh was granted supervised visitation. On February 5, 2012, a social worker arrived at Josh's house with his sons for his scheduled visitation. The boys ran ahead of her, Josh quickly ushered them in, and locked her out. As she called 911, she began to smell gasoline, then the house exploded. It was determined that Josh hit both boys with a hatchet, then sat the house on fire, committing suicide. Susan's body has never been found.

Joanna Aeosana and her family began leasing Susan's home in 2014. It wasn't disclosed to her what happened in the house. She moved her family out two months later, after hearing her child tell seemingly no one in the front yard to 'go away, leave me alone.', and she would bear crying in the house.

I hope Josh Powell suffers for eternity if there is an afterlife.



I also see the address listed as 6259 Sarah Cir. Both come up with the same house when you map them. Idk what's up with that.
