The Disappearance of Susan Powell

UPDATE - February 24, 2022. The bones that were found in the search for Susan do not belong to her and have been determined to be animal bones.


SUSAN’S STORY

When Susan Cox met Josh Powell, she envisioned her own ‘happily ever after’. They were both members of the LDS church and seemed to have similar values and goals in life.
The couple settled down and had two sons, Charlie and Braden.
One early pressure point in their marriage was interference and unwanted advances that were continually being made by Josh’s father, Steven Powell. Steven would film Susan without her consent and he wrote many cringe-worthy love songs for her. Susan became fed up and the family moved states from Washington to Utah.
Not too long into their marriage, Josh began to change. He became increasingly controlling - even though Susan was the breadwinner in the family, he would control their finances so tightly that she did not have enough money to feed her children. She began to grow vegetables to make sure they had enough to eat. Susan also told family and friends that Josh threatened to "destroy her" if she filed for divorce. She then said that if she dies "it may not be an accident, even if it may look like one."
One cold December day in 2009, Susan’s neighbor visited the Powell family and they ate together. Susan said she felt tired and wanted to nap. This was the last time anyone would see Susan alive.
Josh’s version of events on the day that Susan disappeared is that he took his two young sons camping, at midnight, in ‘blizzard like’ conditions’. He told police that when he arrived home, Susan was gone.
Josh moved with Charlie and Braden back to Washington and they lived there for the next few years. Susan’s family battled for custody of the boys for years, and it got to a point where Josh was only allowed to see them during visits that were supervised by a social worker. When it became evident that he was never going to regain full custody of his sons, Josh killed both children and then himself in one of the most horrendous crimes that you could imagine.
Police closed their active investigation into Susan’s case in 2013. I think we all assumed that her case would remain cold indefinitely. Until now. Just a few days ago, searchers recovered bones and clothing from a mine in the Utah desert. Susan’s family have said they are hopeful the remains belong to Susan.

The Murder-Suicide of Cousins Emeri Connery & Bailey Smith

The Murder-Suicide of Cousins Emeri Connery & Bailey Smith

70% of murder-suicides involve an intimate partner - a husband and wife, a boyfriend and girlfriend, etc. In March 2019, police officer Bailey Smith shot and killed his cousin Emeri Connery before turning the gun on himself. The two were driving home after a long night celebrating Bailey's 21st birthday. Strangely, Bailey was memorialized by the community with parades and celebrations, while Emeri, the actual victim of the crime, was hardly mentioned at all. Even Emeri's family seemed to defend her killer. So, do they know something we don't? In this episode, we talk briefly about updates in the Madeleine McCann case before diving into what happened between Bailey and Emeri that night and murder-suicides in general.  Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

Missing Corinna Slusser & Human Trafficking

Missing Corinna Slusser & Human Trafficking

The months before Corinna Slusser turned 19 were rocky, to say the least. It was 2017, she wasn’t getting along with her mom, she dropped out of high school right before graduation and she had a failed suicide attempt that landed her in the hospital.   While she was in the hospital, she met a man who would ultimately change the course of her life forever. Corinna left all of her belongings behind.  Taking only the clothes she was wearing, her phone and her ID, she headed to New York City in August 2017 with this man to follow her dreams. Corinna began escorting and working for various pimps before she vanished completely in September, 2017. Those who saw her last are quick to say she ran off, but police believe something much more sinister happened and that she became a victim of human trafficking. In this episode we discuss Corinna's disappearance and the prevalence of sex trafficking in the USA.  We also chat about the news that has had us all gripped this week -  the cases of runaway teen Madison Bell and the shocking murder of Alejandro Ripley.  Be sure to check out our blog for a timeline of Corinna’s disappearance plus screenshots of now deleted social media from those involved.
