Steven Powell arrested in Washington State

[hollyblue]

Cash bail means he needs 20K cash, correct, or does he need the whole 200k?

I think & HOPE it's the whole schmeer.

"I think it very clearly shows that (Susan's) concerns were justified about Steven Powell, it supports everything she said about him," he said. “My daughter did not want those grandchildren in that house. I’m glad they’re not in there now.”

The judge ruled that not only can the diaries not be released, but any copies previously released to the media or the public have to be destroyed.

Kirsi Hellewell, Susan's best friend, said she was glad Steve Powell was arrested but also shocked at what police found.

"I had no idea. I thought I had seen the depths of what Steve Powell had been to. But I had no idea," she said.

Josh Powell's poor me attitude

"I did not kill my wife. I have never abused her. I have cooperated with law enforcement in investigating her disappearance," Josh Powell said in court papers.

Josh Powell said because of claims made by Cox, he has "created an all-out national media campaign against me, and in my view, Susan." He also claimed that a purple ribbon campaign started by Cox has turned into a "harassment campaign" against him.

BBM - Not according the WVPD.

In addition to the images of the victims, detectives found images of Steven Powell himself that are "sexual in nature and include images of him nakes, images of his genitals, and images of him masturbating," charging documents state.

Okay, just lost my appetite.

It might be possible that the search is halted ... for now. Possibly they are waiting to see if one of the P's crack under this new pressure and actually reveal her location. Would save a lot of money for LE if they would.

Please, please, please. Let Susan be found! She deserves her dignity; and her family deserves to have her.

 

[mysteriew]

I do not feel good about the possibility of his being out and allowed to possibly "haunt" or... etc the Cox's.



WTH is this suppose to mean...voyeurism is a CRIME?!!

I've read elsewhere that the photos of Susan she was clothed. And since it was in his own home, I would guess that would come into it. Maybe she was unaware she was being photographed, but since she was dressed it would be hard to make a charge stick. Otherwise all candid photos could be termed vyourism.

It isn't illegal to take photo's of people without their permission in general, just when those pictures cross a line- naked children, women on the toilet that kind of thing- The pictures of Susan are creepy but she clearly was fully clothed- id imagine they were a bit obsessive but didn't cross into illegal.

They restricted his travel to certain counties. Doesn't he sometimes travel in his job?

Right. Mostly likely standard "surveillance photos". Countless thousands of people have surveillance cameras in or on their homes. For the most part, it's entirely legal. ... It's "creepy", at the very least, in this context, though. And I'm glad for the Coxes that SP disgusting comments about Susan are so thoroughly undermined by this hard evidence.

I thought cash bond meant you have to have the whole amount and 10% meant just that. A bail bondsman may require only 10% in order for them to post the whole amount but they will want collateral. I can't see a bail bondsman giving steve a break.

If a person expects privacy, et in their own home or a bathroom, shower, or NON PUBLIC area any photo's taken of them is voyeurism.

Right -- it might be hard to prove a case against Susan..

1. If she was clothed

2. If the piccies were taken without her knowledge.

In an innocent situation, I've taken pics without someone's knowledge (family, son, hubby). I'm sure we all do at family gatherings, events, etc. However, I do not take pics of naked children. I guess if you lumped them altogether they might have a case, but I presume Susan's pictures would be thrown out (from what I know so far). Personally, I couldn't call a picture of a fully clothed Susan voyerism. Now if she was in the potty, or something nefarious like that, it's a different story.

MOO

Respectfully snipped....

What a very unusual signature he has.

I don't know Washington law but that's probably a bit of an overstatement. If I set up a surveillance camera in my home, even in my bedroom, and my wife is caught on it, fully clothed, doing nothing out of the ordinary...it's not voyeurism (legally speaking), regardless of whether she had an "expectation of privacy".

That concept really came from 4th Amendment law. 4th Amendment doesn't apply to private persons.

Still, it depends on local law.

ETA: OK, see local law below. I was wrong.

 

[Lera213]

If there are pictures of Susan not clothed that Steven Powell took of her without her knowing. I'm willing to bet that LE will hold those pictures for the murder trial when there is one.

[2003 c 213 § 1; 1998 c 221 § 1.]
Notes:

Effective date -- 2003 c 213: "This act is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, or support of the state government and its existing public institutions, and takes effect immediately [May 12, 2003]." [2003 c 213 § 2.]

photographing someone in their kitchen or living room would not be a violation since a reasonable person would expect that others on the street could see inside-

They restricted his travel to certain counties. Doesn't he sometimes travel in his job?

Without even looking I am betting that he is restricted from travel to countries that do not have an extradition agreement with us. :innocent:

LOL not countries, counties. As in county. I think all the US counties have extradition agreements with each other.

kalekona -- thanks for posting the statute. Looks like Lera213 was right (and I was wrong).
