My mind went back to the day I spent watching and following the custody hearing and posting here. I remember seeing the way he looked serving as his own counsel and posting on the hearing thread that he looked like he was on the edge. I was so relieved that the Cox's were granted temp custody because of the wild, desperate look in his eyes, I was so afraid he would do something had he retained custody. Just damn him!I seriously scared the crap out of my husband. I could not speak. I am in still such shock and such anger that I am still up and reading, posting when I should be in bed. But, for the grace of God, there go I is all I can say. Josh is/was a creep and I just don't know why Susan didn't get to see that before she married him. Tragic.
Off topic, but I don't think there's a constitutional right to one's children.
Ginita, maybe you can answer. If the boys continued to talk about mommy being in the trunk, could they hace taken away his visitation?
I am so terribly sad and angry, I could never articulate everything I have felt today. I think the circles around his eyes and the evil coming from him will never be forgotten.
I've been coming to Susan's threads and then her forum nearly every day since she went missing, hoping to see her returned to her family and hoping to see Josh on the receiving end of justice.
Now this.
I can't repeat what we've been calling that loser in this house tonight. He was a coward. My heart goes out to the Cox family and all who loved Susan and her boys.
I know I'm not saying anything that hasn't already been said, but I was so invested in this case and so hopeful that the boys would stay with Susan's family - like so many of us, I'm just so angry and shaken and sad.
Oh my God.
I pushed my chair away from the desk...saying No, No, NOOOOOO the whole time. My husband was saying what what what....the same instance...and I could not speak...I was trying to explain but the reality was setting in at the same tme. And I couldn't. I want to vomit. It would spew the hate I feel for Josh and his father out. I can't believe he did this. I can't believe the horror the Coxes have had to live only to experience this now.
This is a play by play of what happened in our living room this evening when I logged on after the game. I could hardly get the words out of my mouth to explain to my old man after I yelled OMG when I saw the story. Then when the news came on and he saw that 's face he remembered I had been following this case for years. Still nauseated...angry.
Dear Lord. This poor poor person. (assume it's a woman, but not 100% sure)
Please pray for this person as well. What a terrible thing to experience,
I seriously just woke up and need to get ready for work.
Please, how long ago did this happen?

According to above article, I guess this is an admission to Josh guilt to killing Susan also.
Our voices need to get louder. THIS IS NOT OKAY!!!As an attorney who has studied constitutional law (which all lawyers study), I can guarantee you, parental rights are constitutionally protected rights. This has been determined by various supreme court decisions which have interpreted the constitution. It is why it is difficult to sever parental rights.
I just wish children's rights were more important than their parents.
I don't know. So many variables come into play in such decisions.
Wow, you guys, let me tell you that I am rarely shocked. In fact, I rarely cry about these cases. I have been too desensitized by following them for so many years and also by my job which can be pretty intense. But today, I had the same reaction as most of you.
I was checking to see the final superbowl scores. I just felt horror, same thing as you guys, "Oh no, oh no, oh no. Oh my God! Oh my God. He did it. That *advertiser censored* did it!" And then I couldn't stop the tears. I started to yell about how we predicted this and why he had the kids. It is not a surprise, yet I feel such shock and such despair for the Coxes who were allowed to suffer so much by, in part, an indifferent system. Remember that some judge actually issued a restraining order against them? Grieving parents who just wanted to see their grandbabies?
I'll tell ya', this is one none of us will ever get over.
"This is a guy who murdered his two kids, and probably murdered his wife. I don't know what Utah police think, but as far as we're concerned, this is pretty close to a confession to the crime," Troyer said.
