Josh Powell's House in WA blows up - Thread #2

[belimom]

Josh Powell tried to kill his two young sons with a hatchet before the flames of the fiery explosion he had ignited engulfed them all, police said today.

Powell, 36, failed to kill his sons Charles, 7, and Braden, 5, but still wounded them horribly before they died -- smoke in their lungs -- in the gas-fueled explosion Sunday, according to police and the medical examiner.

JFC. Those poor poor children... I'm so sorry, boys. You never deserved this - I pray that you are happy where you are now and reunited with your mother.

 

[indicat]

Wow. Really? Her chopped their little necks? What the heck. He really wanted to make sure there was no chance of survival.

Even more then that, the rage and hatred against his own sons is unbeliveable. I just can't wrap my head around this at all.

 

[uvamerica]

Good! I hope they go after him with everything possible and he rots in prison, I blame him even more than Josh and that's a lot! He raised this mess of a person

Oh so do I ! I always thought he planned Susan's disappearance with Josh, and or possibly helped him. I thought after reading an article that said "an arrest was imminent" didn't mean Josh since he's gone, that it must be Steve Powell. I pray they have the evidence to put him in a courtroom and make him pay for his nasty deeds.

Apparently it doesn't take long to use an axe on children. :sick:

Oh. My. God.

And after yesterday's news...I didn't think it could get any worse...

 

[mmmagique]

I was pretty sure last night that my heart was broken.
Little did I know, how much worse it could get.
I pray God to give strength, love and courage to the Cox family.
I am so sorry.

Wow. Really? Her chopped their little necks? What the heck. He really wanted to make sure there was no chance of survival.

Did he want to make sure there was no chance of survival??

Or did he want to torture people?

When this first came out... our first thought was "natural gas explosion, at least they didn't suffer."

Then we found out it was regular gas... and we started just hoping they died of smoke and didn't get burned.

We hoped, however they died it was quick and painless and they didn't see it coming.


It would be bad enough to have Charlie and Braden die in a natural gas explosion, instantly... without pain.

To know that Charlie and Braden were hit with an axe, knew their father was doing it... then the house was set on fire???

That is going to give people nightmares and torture them for years to come, knowing the boys suffered.
People are going to wonder how long the boys suffered, how much pain they felt, what they thought about, how scared they were.

Charlie and Braden dying instantly, simply wouldn't have accomplished all of that.
Josh Powell hated his in laws and wanted to hurt them. Now, he is torturing them with imagining the torture these children endured.
That, may very well be exactly what Josh Powell wanted. :twocents:

I am so sick of this evil monster and his perverted evil father.Anybody know what happened to his mom? I believe there is more to come out about Steven Powell.

 

[sayd]

Chop injuries? I want to vomit.

Those poor babies.

May Josh rot in hell and may his father be turned lose in general population.

The one who did this to Susan (now ,more than ever, I believe she is no longer with us),and to her children has shown himself for what he truly was. Any supporters of him are in some kind of denial. Sorry if that offends his friends ( I don't care to type his name right now ), that's how I feel. I don't hate him, life is too short to allow anger against this man to consume me.
My best friends' brother, and his wife, were killed some years ago in a home invasion. I won't go into detail-- except to say that I was with my friend at her parents' home the day after they got the news, and saw what murder of loved ones does to their family members.
This was the first --and I hope last -- time that crime ,of any kind , touched my life.
I believe that for every single despicable act a person commits on another, that there are a hundred more people who would never harm anyone !
I still have faith in humanity, but then I've never lost anyone to violence. My friend , and her family , have gone on with their lives; but I never bring up what happened years ago....it would seem like reopening a wound that hasn't begun to fully heal. Not too sure if there's ever 'closure' for victims of violent acts, either.

My deepest sympathy to Susans' parents most of all, and to everyone who cared about Susan and her sons.

I am so sorry to hear about that. It must have been awful for you and that family. :hug:

Fox has reported on twitter Q13FOX Q13 FOX News
Josh Powell's father Steven, who is currently in jail, is now a 'person of interest' in the disappearance of Susan Cox Powell.
6 minutes ago

Maybe Josh said something in one of the emails he sent out that implicated his dad. If they can squeeze him hard maybe he will tell where Susan is.

So it appears this was no explosion. Presumably, he incapacitated the children with a hatchet and then started the fire using gas from a can. He himself presumably burned to death (died from carbon monoxide or whatever it is fire victims die from) because we haven't heard that he had any self-inflicted injuries.

HELL doesn't even seem enough punishment for JP. I am not even able to find comfort in hell as justice or God's vengeance.

"We are not blaming the case worker here. There is no evidence that points to this."
resp. snipped

Thanks for clarifying,Blue Dolphin.
I'd heard via msm that the sw wasn't physically harmed but was in great emotional stress...will link to that if I can find it.
I too had hoped the boys died instantly...there are things I'm thinking that I won't say, and that others here would agree with me.
It seems like the law was followed as far as visitation rules...but the laws are sometimes flawed and need to change !

 

[Inspector Gidget]

We are not blaming the case worker here. There is no evidence that points to this.

On websleuths radio Tricia said she was going to try to contact her and start a thread of support to help her.This poor woman has been through so much.Imagine being there and seeing this with your own eyes and knowing those two boys were trapped inside.I say it would be terrifying.

 

[gitana1]

Wow. The ABC article states he did not kill the boys with the ax, just wounded them, because they still breathed afterwards, getting carbon monoxide in their lungs. Dang.

It is not easy to hit the necks of two little boys who may be moving around or standing up. Anyone who has used an ax would know that. I think he told them to lay down and close their eyes to play a game, then lit the accelerant and then whacked them several times. Otherwise, I don't see how he could have gotten both of them, right on their necks. My gosh, what a monster.

For those that haven't read the transcript of the call to service, is at the link above. Several segments.

It is is the Parking Lost Scanner forum which information must remain there. Thanks

I felt all along this was an act of pure rage. He had to hurt the boys first and terrorize them to make them pay because he hated them so much and was filled with rage. He was an animal since the day he came back after killing Susan and should have been treated like one.

With all due respect, Doc, I think he was an animal long before then. I had hoped the sudden explosion knocked them out before they were aware of what was happening, that their last moments had been carefree. It didn't dawn on me that even he would do something so cruel. OMG

If JP would do this to his children, what did poor Susan suffer?

 

[MsFacetious]

It isn't just us feeling like this... :sick:

What was it JP said in that old interview? "I would never hurt her. Anyone who knows me knows I could never hurt Susan."

Uh, right. But you can calmly give your children's toys away while planning a double murder suicide, take an ax to your babies--your own flesh and blood, your babies that trust you!--and then because you're such a inhuman-waste-of-oxygen-spineless, heartless narcissistic crap weasel, you then burned your babies alive.

But you could never hurt Susan. :steamed:
