UT - Susan Powell, 28, West Valley City, 6 Dec 2009 #7

Bear lake is almost 4 hours away from where josh did the "camping trip"

Rather……from where Joshua ‘claims‘ he took the boys camping!
( I don’t think that information was verified, but correct me if I’m wrong)

Bear Lake is approximately 2 & a half hours from their home & it would make sense for him to claim to have gone camping in the opposite direction if he did dispose of his wife’s body at Bear Lake.

It's the reason dozens gathered around the angel statue dedicated to Cox Powell at Woodbine Cemetery in Puyallup for a candlelight vigil this week. As always, her family was in attendance. The Coxs live in Puyallup.

"Now it's kind of settled down to probably between 50 and 75 people a year," said Cox,
Early last year, Cox expressed his optimism for finding his daughter's remains after visiting a search of an abandoned mine in Utah's west desert.

“She wanted to be the best wife and mother and support her husband," said Cox.
It turned out, however, that the bones and clothing found were not those of his daughter.

"They thought it was a male, not a female," explained Cox.

"You have to say, 'Well, somebody else has their loved one,'" said Cox.

Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge

Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge lies in northern Utah, where the Bear River flows into the northeast arm of the Great Salt Lake. On the ancestral homelands of the Shoshone, Paiute, Bannock, and Ute people known as the Newe or Meme (the People), the Refuge protects the marshes found at the mouth...

The area southwest of West Valley makes more sense because, "mommy's in the mine looking at crystals." I know there have been many searches in that area.

There are a couple of mine areas near the refuge, but they are in the mountains not in the wetland area. If JP had a change of plans, it does look like the main loop goes pretty far out into the wetland area.

Where are you, Susan?

 

[Bethan]

How I hope & pray that these are the remains of Susan, for the sake of her parents & loved ones who have suffered unimaginable loss.

How long does it take to get the DNA testing results back? Surely they can get Susan's DNA from her parents if nothing else.

Yes, it would be a sweet measure of justice, since selfish Josh wanted her remains to be forever hidden.

Glad Elijah was found, may Susan please have her day.

Every time I log on and see new activity on Susan’s thread, I hope that it’s because she’s been found. It never is.

Yes, the same here.
I'll never quit hoping, though.
Praying that she'll be found for her families' sake !

 

[I am not Sherlock H.]

Me as well. And that ABC 20/20 episode on Friday July 26 was a good update, with a few new details. When watching one keeps hoping someone could have used distance traveled on those several vehicles and tried to find a possible location. But seems he somehow knew to use his father’s vehicle IIRC? And that area seems so vast.

And have to wonder what his father might know? Very unsettling IMO revelations about him in this latest update. And IIRC very little or no comment from any of JP’s friends on locations he might have frequented.

Breaks your heart with those early interviews of the oldest son with the child investigator. It was apparent four left in the car that evening. He must have drugged her with the pancakes. Only three returned. And talk of mom with the ‘crystals’ in that one interview. Trying to remember, wasn’t there snow on the ground there and nearby when she went missing? MOO

 

[Panniniclaus]

An infuriating case... Going to watch the 20/20 and come back here and wish I could go back in time and punch Josh in the face...

The day that Josh murdered his sweet little boys, I was checking some news while other fam. members were watching the Super bowl game on a Sunday.... a breaking news alert that a man barricaded himself in a house and set it on fire, killing himself and two young boys.
I don't know how I knew -- but I realized instantly who it was, before opening the link.
While the rental house was still burning, a reporter stood outside a distance away talking about what the social worker had said in her emergency call, and his voice was breaking somewhat.
Awful.
As if fire was horrid enough, Josh attacked them with a hatchet.

Best guess is that either Josh's dad, his brother or someone else met them at the campsite -- or just after Josh and the boys left; and then took Susan's body to another location ?
Omo.
