Now besides the death of his wife, he has to answer to God for killing his 2 kids. Hell is too good for this filth.
But, that being said, I am sorry for the families of him and the wife. May God have some mercy on them.
What a mess this guys mind must have been.
He couldn’t just kill himself?
I saw this this afternoon and couldn’t believe it, it’s like a movie. Just too too sad for those little kids (and the family, her parents, I cannot imagine what they are going through). I wonder if they will ever find her body. My prayers for the family. At least I believe the boys are now with their Mom.
It would have been much easier for him to have used a gun.
Blowing up the house is what one would do if one were faking ones own death and the boys too, so that the law would not be looking for them. Just saying it might be a good idea for the law to fine tooth comb this situation.
Didn’t his father apparently pursue his wife and have porn on his computer?
Supervised visit, but the social worker let the kids go ahead into the house and was barred from entering, went and called the BOSS to report smelling gas...
Why would this idiot let the kids out of his control, and why would the first call be to the boss, rather than 911???
Prayers for the children, and his wife, and I hope the man finds the justice he deserves.
If there was any suspicion at all that the father was involved in the mother’s disappearance, he should never have been allowed to see the children unsupervised. This is sickening.
Susan Powell’s parents must be in such a terrible place right now with the death of their Grandsons. I can’t imagine the pain that they must be feeling.
What a disgusting POS. Roast in hell.
I live in the area, and one of my church friends has a kid that goes to the school the older of the two boys attended.
I checked out a local TV station’s website to see the comments others were making. Can you believe there were some people actually DEFENDING Powell? They seem to think HE was the victim of the DSHS in not being allowed to see his kids.
How deluded can people be??
And then...doing what he did in taking the lives of his kids? I am a daddy, and by God in Heaven I would NEVER do something so cowardly and insanely cruel to my children, no matter how bad I thought things were.
We will now never know where or how Susan Powell died, because (though it was never proved) her killer has offed himself.
This story has bothered me all day to the core.
When he lost temporary custody of the kids I was hopeful that the grandparents or a child psychologist would be able to question them and find out what they remember about their mother’s disappearance. I’m sure Josh Powell feared this and that is why he killed himself. Those poor grandparents must be devastated and angry that he was allowed to spend time with those kids.
Those poor babies. :-( This is just beyond evil.
Does anyone know what Josh did for a living? I know Susan worked for Wells Fargo financial services, but couldn’t find any information on him.
Tell your daughters to be careful whom they marry.
