UT -Susan Powell, 28, West Valley City, 6 Dec 2009 - #3

Anyone think the lawyer told Josh to do this? Any third grader knows this guy's about to be arrested. Maybe the lawyer thought this would make it more difficult, tie things up as long as possible?

 

[winterrose]

Well if he wanted to go to a vigil (yea right ) he didn't have to come HERE to WA :snooty: when there was one right there in West Valley...

Do we know for certain he is in Puyallup... I've been asking, is this where his family is from as well?

arrot:

Steven Powell's home is located in a gated community called Country Hollow in South Hill, a community just outside of Puyallup, Wash. Joshua and Susan Powell both attended high school at nearby Rogers High school. Susan's parents, Chuck and Judy Cox, also live in Puyallup.

 

[passionflower]

and what will his high profile lawyer say now?
I hope the news is on his trail! and LE catches him and arrests him,
he is guilty!

First off a big Congrats to The Salt Lake Tribune reporters Melinda Rodgers and Nate Carlisle for staying on this guy through 3 states..........their email is [email protected] .

No doubt in my mind the chip ran to the block in this case. I think the fact the dad lives in a gated community is good. They only have to watch one enterance when he tries to bolt to Canada. I think the cops knew exactly what he was doing.

It's unconfirmed he's with the parents, but likely--at least that's what the local media believes. They live in the South Hill area of Puyallup, very close to Susan's parents.

How Mr. Cox is refraining from marching over there is beyond me........

Being from Washington State as they were, is it possible that Josh might already have a passport for the boys, and would not need to apply for one?

If that's the case, hopefully LE has the Canadian border officials keeping an eye out for them...

The lawyer is simply confirming he went and he had the right to do so. And I'm wondering if it wasn't his own suggestion.

Yep, I'm worried about this. If I'm remembering correctly, but I'll have to confirm, Canada doesn't like giving up perps who face the death penalty. I really hope this isn't a strategy that's being played out before our eyes.

Steven Powell requested The Salt Lake Tribune to not publish his comments after he spoke to reporters. Powell said his house and the subdivision around it is private property and said he's worried media discovers where he lives, they will "camp out" near his house.

He told Tribune reporters to "please just go and please do not come back." Asked whether he wants a chance to speak on behalf of Joshua Powell and explain the reasons why he thinks his son has been unfairly vilified, Steven Powell said, "I don't need to explain anything. There is nothing to explain."
The Pierce County Sheriff Department -- the agency in charge of the areas where Steven Powell as well as Judy and Chuck Cox live -- is assisting West Valley City police with the case, spokesman Ed Troyer has said.

Josh left Fri or Sat from Utah to ?????
they say Washington, but we have no idea, do we?
This is Sunday.........3 days........and don't forget the
24 hours with the rental car! and 17 hours camping.......
all these trips and mileage in 14 days!!!!
Exhaustion and not having his right mind could cause a very
bad wreck and take many livs in this weather!
I just cannot believe any one in their right mind would help this
man take 2 kids on another goose chase journey!
Let's pray that no one else is killed by this idiot.

The country we were visiting was Ireland which is further away than our neighbor, Canada.

Did you have to show a bc without 'father' indicated? or did you have to submit court order where you have sole custody? I was going by this website.
I could be wrong.

No, just checked a box that I had sole custody--needed no court documentation verifying this. Father's name is on her birth certificate which was necessary for passport, of course.

IMO, Susan's dad KNEW Susan had problems with Josh, it was HE WHO got the cell phone and paid monthly to keep in touch with her,
Susan's friends, church and Josh's own sister knew about the problems.
IMO, they all left her down.
Oh if Susan had had the support and a plan!
Anyone out there with this domestic violence.......
please NEVERtell the SOB you are leaving, have a PLAN and escape!
It might of saved Susan, Stacy and so many others!

After going to this website, click on the 'ABOUT' section on the top bar. Then click on the 'ABOUT JOSH', and you will find the following...

"Throughout his college years, Josh received some of the highest honors available, including Phi Theta Kappa, Magna Laude, and repeated placement on the President's List".

It also states that some of his 'social' outlets were public speaking (lol!), campus politics, drama productions, and writing for the campus newspaper (he probably once ran a classified ad).

Elsewhere on his website, he claims to have "12 years in the real estate industry".

~ I just can't help but wonder if any of these claims are true. This guy is so full of himself.

There is one statement on the website I know for a fact to be a lie... it's where he claims 'Honesty' and 'Integrity'.

I'm not trying to minimize Josh's accomplishments, IF it's true! However, did you all know that "Phi Theta Kappa" is for two year (ie jr college) students?

JMHO

Phi Theta Kappa

I find the above statement about the Pierce County Sheriff Department assisting the West Valley City Police Department very comforting.

I also like the fact that Josh's father lives in a gated community.

IMO, Josh's lawyer probably advised Josh to head to his father's place and take the children away from all the media that is surrounding Josh. If anything, hopefully the children will have some sort of Christmas even if it is without their mother.

 

[passionflower]

I was just reading on another blog that someone feels That Susan's father knows more than he is really saying.
Hopefully he told ALL HE KNOWS to LE!!!
I'm wondering if physical abuse had started recently from JP to Susan????

Well, apparently the reporter got into that gated community! Wonder what Steven Powell's neighbors think of having Josh in their midst?

 

[hellolisakitty]

Watching KUTV Channel 2.... technically the cops DO NOT KNOW WHERE JOSH IS! They say the neighbors told LE that he said he was going to Washington... but as of right now he and the children are NOT accounted for.

But the BIL thinks he is still in Utah (per a phone interview earlier today).

"Friends and family are keeping their eyes peeled for him"

Wow....

 

[passionflower]

Those poor little babies!
My heart breaks thinking of what they have gone through in 2 weeks.
No mommy, no house, no favorite anything.
Arguments, crying, emotions............
On trips in the cold, crazy father, tossed around from
family member to family member.......now to grandparents
(do they even know them that well?)

 

[passionflower]

He is a man on the run now..........
where will he go?
who will take him in?
these are the big questions.........
internet girlfriend???
