This is my first post to WS so please be gentle.
Josh knows what evidence LE has against him. His behavior indicates that he believes they have enough for an arrest and conviction.
Scott Peterson put on the act of the concerned, worried husband because he thought he was going to get away with his wifes murder. He thought he had a good alibi and had covered up the loose ends. Josh was still in the process of covering his tracks when LE entered his home. Im sure he never intended for anyone to see the two fans on the floor drying a wet spot. I doubt that an unplanned 12:30 AM camping trip with two small children in a snow storm and on a work night was the alibi he intended to use. He must have been planning to come home and finish cleaning up the scene. He was going to put the fans away and possibly put Susans purse, cell phone and keys in the van and leave it someplace. Then he could claim he saw her leave for work in the morning.
All we can do is speculate about what his intended alibi was going to be. It certainly wasnt going to be the one he had to go with. If he were that stupid he would need to be watered twice a week.
Josh knows hes going to be going to prison and is not even bothering with putting on the Scott Peterson act. An act Im sure we would be witnessing if the Powells friends and family hadnt immediately asked the police to do a welfare check on the residence.
I believe the police will make an arrest sometime this month. They have to wait for all the lab work to be completed and to cross all the Ts and dot all the Is. They also need to chase down every credible lead or the defense will claim a rush to judgment at the trial.
Josh knows better than anyone if he was able to cover up his crime and his actions tell me he is just waiting for the ax to fall. He wants to spend what little freedom he has left with Daddy and not wasting it putting on a show that he knows will not help him.
I imagine that every time he hears a knock on the door or even a car drive down the street he thinks, Theyre here. Im going to jail. He knows how this story is going to end and his behavior has given the ending away.
I'm new here too, but I welcome you to this fine establishment of Tricia's. And thank you for your very insightful perspective! What you say does make sense, and it does give me hope. I am happy that he seems to want to hunker down at his dad's place. In both of the two "interview" videos posted just recently (porch comments and street comments), he has this pained expression on his face, and I am not sure why I get this feeling but the feeling is that his pain is for his own sorry butt and there is no hint of sorrow for his missing wife.
In the street "interview", the long pause before the reply to the simple question, "where did you go camping?" he is clearly staring hard at an invisible wall trying to find the answer to where indeed, and then finally he comes up with a place name to give. He probably wanted to strangle the reporter on the spot for even asking that question. Sorry to the regulars, as I'm sure these same observations have been made numerous times already, but this is the first time I've seen these videos.
