In December 2009 wife and mother Susan Powell disappeared, seemingly having vanished overnight. Her husband Josh came home from a camping trip with their two young sons the next day to a cacophony of concerned police, family and friends. Despite claiming he had no idea where his wife was Josh was the one and only suspect in her disappearance and presumed murder.  

The police never had enough to arrest and charge Josh though and sadly that isn’t the end. Three years after his wife disappeared Josh killed both his sons, Charlie and Braden, before taking his own life.  

This is Part Two of the story of Susan, Charlie and Braden Powell.  

A familicide in slow motion.
