“The Vanishing of Susan Powell: Fans, Footprints, and 807 Miles”

Content Warning: This episode discusses domestic abuse and the murder of children.

A mother vanishes into a Utah winter. A husband claims a midnight “camping” trip in a blizzard. A wet couch hums under box fans. An odometer quietly adds 807 miles. In this somber deep-dive, Steve walks you through the disappearance of Susan Powell, the widening circle of control around her, and the devastating murders that followed. We examine the red flags Susan documented, the timeline of December 2009, the rental-car miles, mineshaft rumors, the roles of Josh, Michael, and Steven Powell, the custody-court failures, and the aftermath—from the 2013 closure of the active investigation to the $98M negligence verdict and the 2022 mine search that returned only animal remains.

This isn’t a caper; it’s a vigil. We say Susan’s name, trace the evidence that exists, correct the record where it’s warranted, and hold space for what’s still unknown.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse: Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org.

Next week: We head to Ohio for The Circleville Letters—poison pens, small-town secrets, and a weapon made of words.
