A FIERY EXPLOSION CLAIMS THE LIVES OF A WASHINGTON MAN AND HIS TWO SONS - AND AUTHORITIES SAY THE BLAST WAS DELIBERATELY SET. AND A MAN ROBS A BANK WITH SOME UNUSUAL WEAPONS...WE'LL TELL YOU WHAT THEY WERE...
Return to Story IndexPOWELL PKG
WASHINGTON STATE AUTHORITIES SAY THEY BELIEVE A SEATTLE-AREA MAN DELIBERATELY SET OFF AN EXPLOSION THAT TOOK HIS LIFE AND THE LIVES OF HIS TWO BOYS. JOSH POWELL WAS THE FOCUS OF AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DISAPPEARANCE OF HIS WIFE, SUSAN COX-POWELL. ROARING FLAMES, THICK SMOKE AND ASH. THE AFTERMATH OF AN EXPLOSION -- ONE THAT AUTHORITIES SAY JOSH POWELL IGNITED, TO KILL HIMSELF AND HIS TWO YOUNG SONS. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES SAY IT APPEARS POWELL SENT AN E-MAIL SHORTLY BEFORE THE FIRE, SAYING, QUOTE "I'M SORRY, GOOD-BYE." "This is all on him. He set this up. He did it. He is the one who started the fire." INVESTIGATORS SAY A FOSTER-CARE CASE WORKER BROUGHT POWELL'S TWO BOYS TO THIS PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON HOME ON SUNDAY, FOR A SUPERVISED VISIT. AS THE CHILDREN GOT CLOSE TO THE DOOR, POWELL DRAGGED THEM INSIDE, AND LOCKED THE CASE WORKER OUT. MOMENTS LATER, A FIERY BLAST LEVELED THE HOUSE. "When we first came out, there was, um, white stuff flying around everywhere." IT HAPPENED JUST DAYS AFTER POWELL WAS DENIED CUSTODY OF HIS BOYS BY A WASHINGTON JUDGE, WHO RULED THEY SHOULD REMAIN WITH THEIR GRANDPARENTS. POLICE SAY POWELL WAS A PERSON OF INTEREST IN THE CASE OF HIS MISSING WIFE. SUSAN COX-POWELL HASN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE DECEMBER 2009, IN UTAH. A MONTH AFTER SHE VANISHED, JOSH POWELL MOVED WITH THEIR SONS TO WASHINGTON STATE. UTAH POLICE NOW SAY THEY WERE BUILDING A CASE TO CHARGE JOSH POWELL -- WITH MURDER. "First the wife, the mother of those two boys; uh, and then -- and then, uh, then him and his two sons. You know, it's one thing to have him get charged or not charged and deal with it, but -- but it's, uh, it's evil." NOW FAMILY, FRIENDS AND INVESTIGATORS MUST FACE THE FACT -- SOME OF THE ANSWERS THEY WANTED MAY HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE FLAMES. THIS IS RICK VINCENT REPORTING. AUTHORITIES ARE ALSO INVESTIGATING JOSH POWELL'S FATHER FOR POSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AND VOYEURISM. COURT DOCUMENTS SAY DETECTIVES FOUND SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT IMAGES OF JUVENILES ON STEPHEN POWELL'S COMPUTER LAST YEAR, DURING THEIR INVESTIGATION INTO THE SUSAN POWELL-COX DISAPPEARANCE. STEPHEN POWELL WAS LIVING WITH HIS SON JOSH POWELL AND THE BOYS AT THAT TIME. HE IS NOW IN JAIL ON THOSE CHARGES.
