Josh Powell's House in WA blows up

[panthera]

People are getting e-mails, was he sitting there sending e-mails during that time? When did the children show up in his home and when were the e-mails send?

Obviously e-mails were sent before the children arrived at the house, including the one to his attorney who he probably knew wasn't going to find it in time, or because it wasn't detailed, wouldn't know what was pending.

MOO

How on earth was a home visit scheduled? Where was the safety for the social worker and the kids in a building they could not control? Why was that even allowed? There needs to be a Charlie and Braden law now.

The worker was calling to report that he slammed the door and she smelled a heavy odor of gas. In order for her to smell gas it had to be on for sometime and built up. If the oven was gas and all the pilot lights were blown out and gas turned on. The gas builds up quick and a strike of a match or lighter can cause a blast. This is why the PGE when you relighting your pilot light on your heater prefer you let them do it.

If I smelled a heavy odor of gas I would be calling 911.
Not my supervisor. I am just saying.

The social worker is very, very fortunate that she wasn't inside the house also.

Supervised visitation esp with a murder suspect means never alone even for a minute IMO if she had done her job correctly,IE walking with the children into the house she would have smelled gas at the door possible saving those kids.GOD Please forgive me for this but if she would have been blown to bits maybe policies would be changed to really protect our children.My heart prays and love go out to the Cox family,You did all you could do to save your grandsons staying within our laws.Sadly our Laws give children no rights against a truly evil parent.

Anyone who covered for this evil ,I pray God has no mercy on your souls.

This country is a very dangerous place. There is so much crime and heinous crimes perpetuated on our children, we should be ashamed and not much different than the countries we say are barbaric.

of COURSE he sent more emails and texts... does anyone think he would do something like this quietly? (sorry I am just ranting)

I. am. livid.

so preventable, this was....

I was thinking that, too, about sending out the emails and texts.

 

[Nixie]

If he sent them right before it happened he knew they couldn't do anything although I do find it odd no one had e-mails going to their phones. I always know when I get an e-mail but maybe he sent them knowing the people receiving them wouldn't get them in time anyways. He could have set it up then hit send right before he blew up the house......I wish someone would have seen them before hand!

Oh no....my heart goes out to Susan's parents, this is just awful. We all knew he was a disgusting , and it would have been more than fine with me to hear he had taken himself out, but those boys....what a selfish monster. May they rest in peace with their mother. Clearly, their "father" is going somewhere else.

 

[Dewey2Me1MoThyme]

People are getting e-mails, was he sitting there sending e-mails during that time? When did the children show up in his home and when were the e-mails send?

the emails could have already been transcribed and just a click of the mouse to send them out before the blast.

 

[sreshowtime]

oh my. Oh those babies...it had to be intentional...was it?? I need to read to catch up...just beyond sad for these boys and those that really loved them

Their bodies haven't been removed yet. (I hate to post that but there will be more probably)

I am completely heartbroken!!! What a monster and then for their religion to do it on the Sabbath day makes it even worse. When are the courts going to stop protecting the rights of Persons of Interest. Once that is their status, they should be incarcerated until cleared, when it involves murder and lie detector tests should be mandatory. Eff the 5th amendment when it involves murder and children.

It was said that the attorney had received the email 2 hours prior to the explosion and had read it 45 minutes before.

edit: Mrs. Peel provided a link saying that the attorney only received the email 10 minutes before the explosion. Thanks to Mrs. Peel.

Pierce Co. Sheriff Dept. is recieving emails from Josh? Did I just hear that?

 

[tezi]

I suppose the next thing we will hear is that Josh's dad is going to sue the Coxes, the state, and the judge for what Josh did.

I still think that any letters from Josh to his dad need to be looked at.

 

[matou]

I just saw footage of the home, there is nothing there, just a shell of ash and smoke. I see a van or SUV chassis in there too. Were the bodies found outside of the blast? sorry...

Yes, that's what they're saying.

 

[JSR]

I knew Josh would do something like this. We all knew he was vindictive enough to ensure that if he couldn't have and control his boys no one was going to.

My heart breaks for the coxes.

We can also be sure that Josh will ensure that Susans body will never be found. That's a guarantee.

What a complete tragedy.

He wanted to be sure everyone knew it was no accident,only reason to email anyone.

 

[Emma Peel]

Just to clarify - E-mail arrived 10 minutes prior to explosion.

The email arrived at 12:05 p.m. Sunday, Washington time, about 10 minutes before the explosion, but he didn’t see it two hours later, when others told him Josh and the boys had been killed.
