The nightly news just said that Josh left a message for his lawyer saying he was sorry but could not hang in there.

He appeared to be very haggard looking on the video sitting in the courtroom, last time there, and the judge ordered a psychological evaluation before he could have the children, I thought I heard?

Here's more:

Jeffrey Bassett, who represented Powell in the custody case, said he received a three-word email from his client just minutes before Powell and the two boys died. It said, "I'm sorry, goodbye."

The email arrived at 12:05 p.m. Sunday, about 10 minutes before the explosion, but he didn't see it until two hours later, when others told him Josh and the boys had been killed. He said he knew Josh was upset after being ordered to undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation recently, but he didn't see this coming.

I have company here watching the Super Bowl and I am crying in the kitchen sitting in front of the computer. :mad: I am supposed to be bringing in more guacamole and all I want to do is SCREAM!!!! [ If it wasn't for my son's friends that is exactly what I would do right now, but I guess I will peel more avocados instead.]

Big hugs, Katy!

I'm glad I'm home alone today, because I've been crying ever since I read the horrible news.
 
You know when certain events happen in life and you will always remember exactly the moment you heard it?

Sadly this is one of those times for me.
 
:please: Why? How utterly awful... those poor babies. This is unspeakably gut-wrenching.
 
Aargghhh...just when I thought those boys were in good hands with Susan's parents.

Very, very sad.

Well, I hope there is NO funeral or memorial for Josh, and if the family is stupid enough to do so, I really hope his father is not allowed out of jail to attend.

I'm thinking he'll probably hang himself at this point.
 
According to the video with Kirk Graves above, this occurred at Josh's rental house.
 
My daughter just called me and told me the news, she is in Lakewood. She said they were in Pullayup shortly after it happened.

My heart goes out to the Powell family.
 
He was very foxy. He staged this visit to appear like the others, when all along, for however long, he had planned this day. He set his email to send emails to people. As of the last media I read, the emails were still being received.

In some ways this was very predictable, imo, but that is because he killed his wife to assert control and when he lost control of the kids, he had to re assert it in some way. So here you go.

It makes me want to howl at the moon-as always, these children are the collateral damage. Instead of what is in their actual best interests, the court enforced what appeared to be in their best interests on paper. As usual. Josh was not only the prime suspect in the murder of his wife, he was suspected of some kind of sexual aberrance, right? I mean, yet again we are going to have a judge state that he/she did the best they could with the info they had and that this wasnt predictable.

Yup, it was. Now Josh has his revenge. He has now taken everything from the Cox's that he possibly could have. His final eff you.

I cant stand it.
 
What a horrible tragedy. MAYBE, just maybe, this case can set some precedence with regards to family courts/family law. No one- judges, lawyers, case workers, parents- seem to have the legal right to take proactive action to protect children. Something horrible has to happen first, and only then- if the victims survive- can the authorities take action to protect those most vulnerable (the children). Too often, the "something horrible" that happens leads to death. Obviously, it's then too late. RIP.

Thank you for putting into words the reasons I am feeling so upset, Believe.
 
I am kind of disturbed by the interview with Kirk Graves. I feel like it was too soon...get the man and his family some space. I cannot believe the media is interviewing him 2 hours after his nephews had been killed. How the hell do they think his wife and mother in law are reacting. Sorry but that just angers me.

I guess we don't at this point... just reports that the social worker smelled gas... could have also been gas like car gas as well? The situation is very fluid at this point

The way the roof was lifted off I would say NG or propane. It would take alot of gasoline to pack that much punch.
 
OMG. I am speechless. I feel just horrible, those poor kids, and her poor parents. I can't even imagine.

If she smelled gas walking away to her car, she must have smelled it when she got close to the door of the house, too. If only she had had the boys by the hand, instead of letting them run ahead of her....

Holding hands................instead of letting them go .................so very sad.
If all 3 went to the door together she would have smelled gas.Letting them go Unsupervised into that house allowed him to be able to shut the door trapping those boys.A fatal error of judgement on her part IMO.I only hope those boys ran into the house full of joy and happiness never realizing their fate,and immediately were lifted by God directly into their mothers embrace.
