The husband of a missing Utah woman rented a car two days after his wife was reported to have disappeared, logging hundreds of miles on the vehicle as police try to determine where he traveled, the Deseret News reported.
Police in West Valley City, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City, say that Joshua Powell — a person of interest in his wife's disappearance — rented the car for 24 hours while police had his minivan in custody to process it for evidence.
Police are now looking into where Powell drove during that 24-hour period because the car lacked a GPS tracking device but had "several hundred" extra miles on it when he returned it to the rental car company, the Deseret News reported.

It is wild and rugged land, but you are incorrect about the access. I’ve gone to Simpson Springs many times. The fastest and most direct access im Winter is to go West on 1-80 turn South at Rowley Junction, go past Iosepa and Dugway in the Skull Valley of Western Utah. No mountain passes at all.
Still, no one in their right mind would take small boys camping on such a frigid sub-zero night into such a remote area on a late Sunday night. I winter camp, and have done so even with small children - it takes a lot of planning!
I beleive the temp was “sub-freezing”, not “sub-zero”. Still, one would not take one’s young sons camping at midnight under such conditions.
This is the history for Tooele airport the morning of Dec 6, 2009. http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KUTLAKEP2&month=12&day=6&year=2009
You can see that the low was 5.5. Simpson Springs generally records temperatures lower than Tooele. Whatever the temperature - whether 5.5 or -5.5 it was too cold to imagine camping with young children.
