Susan Powell was just 28 years old when she disappeared from her Utah home in 2009. Her husband, Josh Powell, was named a suspect in the case, but before he could be charged, he killed his two sons and himself. And still, no one knows what truly happened to Susan.
Oxygen’s new special, “The Disappearance of Susan Cox Powell,” attempts to uncover new details of the last few years of Susan’s life, and incriminates her father-in-law, Steven Powell, in a dangerous way.
In the documentary special, investigative journalist Stephanie Bauer dissects Susan and Josh’s marriage, and looks into Steven Powell’s creepy obsession with his former daughter-in-law. Investigators uncovered numerous video tapes that Steven took of Susan, sometimes without her knowing.
Initially, Josh Powell claimed he had taken their sons Charlie, 4, and Braden, 2, on a camping trip during a winter blizzard shortly after his wife had gone to bed.
