Cold Ep 9: The Light of Seattle

- The day after Susan Powell’s disappearance - her father-in-law Steven Powell sat at his computer and reviewed a Microsoft Word document containing the lyrics to a song he’d written a year and a half prior. It was titled “Your Sweet Name was on my Lips Again.”
The third stanza of the song included the lyrics “There’s a sadness, knowing that you’re gone/Without you, how can I carry on?”
Steve typed an asterisk in front of those words and added a comment.
“I am now reviewing this on December 8, 2009, as I contemplate the events of the past two days, which may include Susan’s death,” Steve wrote. “She is missing, but circumstances suggest that she was murdered over the weekend. I am now truly ‘wondering what on earth to do.’”
Cold obtained a copy of that document from among the private personal files of Steve Powell. It has never previously been made public. The note suggests that Steve Powell did not have an active hand in his daughter-in-law’s disappearance or any immediate firsthand knowledge of what had actually happened to her.

Here from Stephanie Harlowe's channel. Been listening to all these episodes all day.... excellent podcast. 💗
Yuup; August 15th not far from over & I've been listening for a big chunk of the day. Shout-out to Stephanie for bringing me here.
Me too! She did a good job presenting this case as well
Same here... Stephanie’s video was fantastic and so is this is this podcast the case is sad but very interesting
You gotta love stephanie harlow
Susan didn't have time to have an affair.. she was the one working and taking care of the kids.
Yes all three of them
How eerie that Steve said that josh would "guard the boys with his life", huh...
I think her dead body is in Josh father home . Probably under the floor . This type of case happening near by areas .(it's is my won opinion)
That song where Susan is singing backup is so unbelievably haunting. She sang like an angel. Him? Satan incarnate.
She was singing with the Devil
The 7 dislikes are from the Powell intermediate family
Are there 7 left?
Ouch, Anna lol
I would like to hear what the family has to say.
Steve killed himself in jail.. his brother Mikel, Death by overdose in a motel... only his sister & mom i think...
I'm here from thehorrorshack on ig, they posted a photo of the Powell family and Susan with the title "Everyone in this photo is dead " which instantly caught my attention and someone commented this podcast and now I'm in too deep
The songs of NIGHTMARES!!! Holy Crap he's CREEPY AF!😱😱😱
stephani m lmao 😂
SEE "ABDUCTED IN PLAIN SIGHT" on Netflix. It is the craziest story'I've ever seen!
@@smpotts173 is it about this case
@@vickyoliver1738
Hi Vicky,
No. It's completely unrelated, but it's about a very naive Mormon family in the 70's victimized by a pedophile conman.
@@smpotts173 oh god there’s some awful people
I bet Steve’s lust for Susan made Chuck Cox want to puke!
I'd have actually ya know what, seriously would have, and still would!!!😡😡
Her singing voice was beautiful and angelic.
scottish lass You’re sounding a bit like Steve Powell there, look out!
I know, it's so lovely.
No she sang in the church choir and her voice was amazingly lovely
@@joshuaeaton6478 shut up imbicile.
lilke an opera singer
Yeah, maybe she needed a ride to work because bicycling in a snowstorm while dead wasn't hard enough.
Bless her heart. That creepy father in law ole nasty dawg. I'm tell in y'all don't just marry take a whole lot of time. Check them out with friends, family, animals, babies. You cannot fake that kind of crazy,
Belinda Robinson well put! he was seriously weird I would have talked my daughter out of marrying into such a family
💯💯💯
Love Shack Sarah I'm so glad you're ok! And I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Too many people end up enduring experiences like this.
19 is so young. People aren't really adults until 25 some even 30ish. It takes a while to mature.
Mormons
Josh's Dad makes me even sicker than Josh does! Poor Susan. 💔
When Steve, Josh's dad told the officer he could not imagine Josh murdering Susan, but he could imagine
Susan wanting to murder Josh. I thought, what is that supposed to prove? 99.999999999 percent of this audience probably wants to murder Josh just for laughs!
To bad he took his own evil self , it kept someone else from getting the privilege in prison.
His singing voice is just oozing pervert. How is that possible?
Disturbing
Good call
Ugh! Steven even *looks* the weird guy who hangs out at the mall approaching young girls and promising to make them a star *shudder*
Ikr! Like how in the hell has that pervert not in jail! Ppl always seem to realize there's no cure for what I call sicko syndrome to late. No cure but u can contain and "treat" the issue with the free help of jail and inmates. U can learn a lot from a prisoner, the real tough guys. It's kinda amazing that these guys have committed crimes like murder for example and still hate guys like him.
He legit looked the part
OMG. That's it, exactly! You nailed it so perfectly! He IS totally That Guy!! 🤢🤮
Shell T Right?? It's always amazed me that even lifelong criminals and convicted violent felons seem to have an innate grasp of the fact that *nothing* kills people's souls and destroys their lives quite like sexual assault and/or child abuse.
Murder is horrific, but the victim's suffering is, by definition, over. Not so for rape and other forms of sexual assault. At least based on what I've heard from numerous people, the pain & suffering (for the survivors and their loved ones) just goes on and on, and there's never any real "closure."
Also, the fact that even the most hardened murderer has a mother, and likely has sisters, grandmothers, wives or girlfriends, daughters, etc. probably has a lot to do with it. Even the toughest of those "tough guys" often feel a deep sense of protectiveness towards women they care for, and at times even for women and girls in general. And, because of how depressingly common rape and sexual assault is, it's very likely that even these career criminals will have known a woman or have a female family member who's been a victim of sexual assault.
@@maneckineckbeard1749 True. I thought it was just everyone would want to beat the hell out of these sickos lol. I like how when thrown in an all male environment they breakdown like the little chicken shit they really are. I say all male bc the guards don't run the show in jail and everyone is pissed off.
So much evil in one family and they are so weird apart from Jenny what did a beautiful girl like Susan see in that weedy nerd he was punching above his weight.susans only fault is that she was naive she grew up but it was too late and bless her having to put up with pervy Steve constantly observing her she was definitely being emotionally abused in that family home.
What the Dad was doing was covert sexual abuse. It's gross to hear him say "she wanted to". I sincerely doubt that.
Many girls fall victim to the blandishments and 'lost puppy' routine that Narcissistic beasts like Josh and his father layer on. Most of us, because we were set up for not being able to resist it by lack of a father or a male to teach us about that sort of loser, and to demonstrate how an ACTUAL adult man loves the women in his life. Some are just like Susan. Kind hearted, and empathetic, wanting to help and responding at some really deep level to the amount of broken that seeps out of every crack in the facade of losers like this.
Dd
Here from Stephanie Harlowe's video, about Susan, to hear the music of Steven. Before you said who was singing the harmonies, I had wondered whom it was because the voice was beautiful, angelic, and I was sad but amazed to learn it was she. His voice is horrible and creepy, but befitting for his personality. It's sad to know that her amazing voice and spirit were snuffed out. Thank you for putting this information up, and allowing Susan a voice so that she may still be heard.
Same. Came from Stephanie's channel... but listening to all these episodes.
@Donna Willams they're addicting and so incredibly thorough.
@Donna Willams I got a bunch done yesterday and was proud lol... I'm pregnant and exhausted so just chillen and listening today
@Donna Willams I'm so sorry 💔
And thank you 💗 it's our 1st baby, and it's been pretty rough
Klarissa Ann I just saw this comment, and that it's almost a year old. I hope you're enjoying being a mother, and that all the difficulty and discomfort of pregnancy was worth it!
what I don't get is how openly blatant Steve was in his lust for Susan yet Josh appeared oblivious
I got the impression Josh was sexually abused by Steve for years.... control. I wonder if Steve woulda felt that way about Susan if she HADN'T been his son's wife??🤔🤔🤔
@@stephanim2436 it is doubtful as in the past he lusted after another woman in the same way you get a better idea of his character listening to the brilliant podcast series 😯
Yeah it’s odd. Seems like josh may have gone along w his dad in that Steve blamed her for “flirting” w him and encouraging his advances by any brush by or inadvertently touching him in any way or ignoring his weird comments etc. (to be fair the massage I admit was weird though IMO) and in Steve’s journal he said something like a few months after he told Susan he was in love w her that it didn’t take much for josh to believe that Susan instigated Steve’s feelings for her, so who knows if Josh’s acceptance of Susan’s blame for Steve’s feelings was reality or yet another warped view of reality in Steve’s mind.
stephani m that’s an interesting thought. It’s entirely possible, and tragic if true. Steve seemed to be infatuated w women but abuse like that can be more about power as well.. of course we will never know, this is just speculation and armchair diagnosis which is never a way to get any answers, but it’s an idea that could explain a few things. Steve didn’t seem to be overtly interested in Charlie and Brayden thankfully, hopefully (at least as far as I can tell from the info publicly available that I’ve seen). Josh also didn’t seem to be concerned about leaving his sons w his father either from what I can tell from this limited info.
bettiepagebombshell This sounds really plausible to me! Almost the entire Powell family was so, SO disordered and dysfunctional that the dynamic you're proposing seems entirely possible, if not probable. From what I've learned, the family seems to line up disconcertingly well with what I learned in a psych class is called a "family cult" structure. It breeds an absolutist, black vs. white, "for us or against us" mindset. Steve was the "cult leader," and made his children into his devotees; if they wanted not only their father's love (which they'd been raised to believe was essential for their survival) but that of their siblings, nothing less than absolute loyalty would be required. They'd be compelled to support whatever "truth" Steve put forth to them, or risk total ostracism.
The treatment Jennifer was subjected to by her father and siblings for "betraying" this dynamic of cultlike devotion reinforces my perception of how the family probably interacted: her strength, integrity and loyalty to her husband and kids- all of which had enabled her to break with her family's sick dynamic- were punished with shunning and emotional abuse by her birth family. For this sort of sick dynamic to function, it would be necessary to make an example of *anyone* who broke free, in order for Steve to reinforce, through fear, the unconditional loyalty of the remaining Powell siblings.
I can believe 100% that despite his apparent attempts to break free as a young adult, Josh would have been so utterly conditioned by the toxic combination of his father, siblings and dysfunctional upbringing to such an extent that it would be almost impossible for him to NOT take his father's side over that of his wife...or anyone else for that matter. After a lifetime of overwhelming conditioning, which trained him to place loyalty to his father above all else, it makes perfect sense to me that the anger, jealousy and hostility he doubtless felt (as most any husband naturally would!) after learning about his father's twisted sexual obsession with his wife would be twisted *away* from his father and *towards* his wife. I also think it's entirely likely that this reaction wouldn't even have been conscious, but rather would have just been an automatic, unthinking response.
This story is so heartbreakingly tragic, in so many ways and on so many levels. I only hope that it can serve as a warning to any young, naive people who, like Susan, are considering becoming involved in a relationship with someone who's a product of this sort of upbringing. It can be so tempting to think that love can conquer all, but sadly that's not always the case.
Listening to the entire podcast because of HeavyDSparks....and I find it chilling how Steve is willing to cover for Josh no matter what. However, Steve always sprinkles truth into his stories, just so you know he is "genuine" in what he is telling you. At 49:50 Steve tells us a little "scenario" of a confession from Josh telling him he "threw her in a hole..." --- That I'm sure is a little piece of truth that he sprinkled.
Dang, that neighbor had Josh pegged, so sad Susan didn't take the threat more seriously.
Thank you so much for an in-depth, fact based investigation into the disappearance of Susan Cox. Everyone I know felt that Josh was absolutely guilty in this case! I’m certain he did exactly what he bragged about! She was probably gone by the time he took the boys camping. She was probably in the back of that van already deceased! Even one of the boys said she was with them and she stayed with the “pretty rocks”. Why would that child lie? I know at this point that all those involved are gone now but I’m sure he tossed her down some mine hole. It would just be great if she was found and returned to her family for a proper burial. That seems like an impossibility now.
Hearing the fbi agent say that he believes that Josh is about to be arrested for murder and the boys will need family to care for them ... is heartbreaking. I have heard about so many circumstantial cases. What a tragedy.
It's infuriating to hear Steven Powell talking about how Josh dotes on his boys and would guard them with his life. And this is the father that killed his boys!
They were Liars and no doubt Josh killed Susan and Steven and micheal helped later on cover up evidence and move the body again
Steve and Michael can rot too. Seriously that whole family, except for Jennifer, messed up beyond words.

😱😱😱
I have just found this channel, your voice telling this sad true story. I love listening to you. I hope you make a lot more videos so professional amazing work thank you 🙏just what I need x
Gosh Susan's voice is truly angelic. Makes me so sad. Steve's on the other hand is just cacophony I can't find a better word for it I am sorry. Susan what an angel, why didn't she leave this fucking family SOONER!!!!!??!?!!? I am honestly heartbroken and those details make me rage. Again Susan sounds so beautiful here, her voice is REALLY good, she could be a singer at least as a REAL hobby for sure. She had amazing talent and I do see she was overall a good woman. What in the actual fuck?
I am amazed at how capable she was! Two kids, dealing with all these crazy stuff, extroverted and nice with people, standing up to him while still loving him and full of understanding, and then trying to get a normal divorce , insightful, feeling there is something wrong with him and that something horrible could happen!!, telling that to people. Plus she was beautiful, and sang like that. I admire her!! She was just so unlucky to fall in love with .... brrrr, when she was young. God bless her! 🙏
@@lanaivanovic5272 agreed!
In his song where he says "I could be getting mistaken impression" I thought the next verse would include the word "erection", that's how corny his music is.
It's almost comical, had the circumstances been different, it would be hilarious. Like the song "each time you seem to gaze at me..." It amazes me that a man of that age could possibly mistake her disgust for a loving gaze. He totally just saw what he wanted to see, and was so obsessed that every little gesture, every look, every word, every silence, to him, meant the attraction was mutual. I mean when he reads her diary and finds no mention of his name, he was genuinely shocked, because he is so deluded that he just couldn't understand why he was never mentioned by her.
I can't imagine what an awful situation Susan was in, living with her father in law and spurring his advances while trying not to upset the living situation. Steve is the evil patriarchy of that family. Too bad for Josh's sister. She's the other innocent in the story.
@@kittenkorleone2918 I know. From all of her entries and all of the videos, she’s so sweet and genuinely innocent but she was so strong to live like this and to not just lose it and lose her kids. It’s always been close to my heart. From worlds away in England, I’ve never been married, but I totally relate to the way she tried so hard. She even put up with this creep. All for her family xxx
@@Narnus96 I can't imagine the pain the Cox family must live with every day. Josh married so far out of his league. I also feel for Josh's mother. I put all the blame on Steven. He's the patriarch of this giant mess. I pray they find Susan so she can get a proper burial.
I lived in Silver Creek during this time. Steves house was behind my house. I remember the day that the fbi and pierce county officers raided his house. The media was there outside of our gate.
I wonder where Alina and John are at now.
"I could be getting a mistaken impression...." YES, Steve! That's exactly it!!
lmao right
Oh noes another ear worm
@@annacostello5181 😆
Every time I learn something new about Steve and his obsession with Susan I get a strong urge to shower. Just listening to it makes me feel disgusting.
I can love you in a secret way smh 🤦🏿♀️ what’s going on
The songs are so creepy. Dad totally helped his son kill and dispose of Susan.
I don't like Steve, much less his music, but honestly I think he was bowled over by Susan's death. It's sad-- on one hand he wanted to support his son Josh, yet he mourned Susan. I doubt Steve would have killed her but he'd do anything to protect his son
I think her dead body is inside Josh father home . Probably under the floor .( It's my won opinion)
@@Elleoaqua , Steve is delusional about having a sexualized relationship with Susan, and we know Susan was repulsed by him. He's also a proven liar. He took tens of thousands of pictures of 2 little girls in various degrees of undress for his own sick gratification and got caught, then he lied about it. So not only is he delusional, but he has evil intentions. Should we then believe everything he wrote in his journal? Do people lie to themselves? Maybe he didn't help kill Susan, maybe he doesn't know where her body is, but it's definitely possible, and within his character to then lie about it.
@@nikkishears6402 Oh yes, they do lie to themselves and Steve was absolutely lost in the sauce at this point. He lied to himself that she secretly loved him and lied that his son would never hurt her. He did love Susan, not as a human being, but as this idolized imaginary summation of everything he craved in a woman. I do think he believed every word of his own bullshit.
Yup
Steven Powell reminds me so much of my father in law. The love confession, the inappropriate words and touching. The physical and mental torment when he’s turned down... but now he has dementia and slowly getting worse... so what does a person do?? I get what she went thru with him..
It would have been good for Jenifer to have recorded him when he had dementia because dementia patients are like little kids and don't have the ability to make up stories and lie. They tell the truth.
Jami Loy oh no! I’m sorry, I may have worded this incorrectly. Steven Powell wasn’t known for having dementia. I’m talking about my own father in law. Apologized for the misinformation
Who told this creep he could sing???🙉
Somebody who was wrong! Lol
“Josh doesn’t *feel* guilty of anything”
That’s an odd way to word that. I feel like a truly innocent person would say they are not guilty of anything not “I don’t FEEL guilty” of anything. I’m just saying.. to me, that sounded like Steve all but saying Josh did it he just doesn’t feel bad about it.
Yep caught that too
Steve is sickeningly CREEPY
I wonder if there is any new software that can crack Joshes computers yet?
21:07 - “Josh is very protective of the boys. He dotes on them, and would protect them with his life.” Oh how ironic those words would become
Wow, Susan actually had a very good voice.
I thought it was kind of weird when Steve is trying to bring up where Susan possibly might be, he accidentally says "Wendover, Montana" instead of Wendover, NV. It made me wonder if anyone has checked lower southwest corner of Montana for Susan??
Or if there has been any Jane Does found in Montana that have not been identified..
Same with Idaho. Poor Susan. It was very random the other day I just finished the podcast for a 2nd time and went out to do some grocery shopping, I loaded my groceries and out my phone in my pocket and later when I took my phone out I noticed I somehow was "butt dialing" but instead of calling or actually texting "WHERES SUSAN" was typed on the keyboard in a text to my husband. Made my heart ache. I wish we could find her.
ive heard the creep steve sing so many times..but today it hit me....I bet he buried that body or went back to it..n had his way with her corpse..... absolutely he did!!!!
without a doubt
💯
I can believe that. I doubt he could stop himself if she was dead.
That’s a reach but a definite maybe
“I could love you in a secret way… I could love you each and every day…” Not a lot of original thought I know this is a serious case but I had to laugh my head off when I heard that singing & those lines! I mean this guy is the creepiest guy there is a possibility, A real possibility -that he did something to Susan. Something he put in his journal when he said he couldn’t live without her he also hinted about if something ever happened to her if she ever died or disappeared why would he say that about somebody who was 20 something? I’m talking about Steve now not Josh Josh
I has a Light of Seattle ear worm. O halp me 😂🙀😂
My ex wife was Josh, my ex sister-in-law was Michael, my brother-in-law was Steve, my ex mother-in-law was John. I am blown away at this case and the similarities.
He sounds like the count from Sesame street singing.
The agents saying they would arrest Josh... they lost it and they maybe "forced" josh's hand.
They are not supposed to tell ANYONE anything like that!!! What the hell.
That is Jennifer then the cops...
They got real argumentative with this douchebag who went back and told Josh this.
Dang.
Somehow I accidentally missed this one... Holy Gladys Presley mother of Elvis.
AEonFluxCapacitor!
I'm writing to inform you I laughed so hard when seeing your Elvis reference, pink lemonade shot out of my nose! In lieu of suing you, I will be stealing your line for private use from time to time.
@SM Potts by all means! My heart feels for the sting of your nasal passages, but for real, his dribble is totally choke my chicken worthy. Wow is it bad. 💙 💙 💙
Same. Pure genius. Bravo!
@@smpotts173 Yikes, I bet that hurt.
Absolutely tragic 😥
Q. The situation was so suss from the start, why wasn't Josh TAILED from the second he left the Station. He went straight to the airport And rented a car... and there was no tail on the guy. Surely it was assumed he MUST be followed as he would be making whatever moves he thought necessary.
Maxwell was inept.
True but they didn’t know he left. They thought he’d wait for his own car
ASUMPTIONS as we know...
Means mistakes.
EXACTLY
I'm not convinced anyone in that circle is innocent and I mean all of them.
Can’t believe I didn’t know about this (very excellent) podcast. I agree with Steve on one thing. Susan was absolutely beautiful and full of life. She looks like a rad, fun human.
Everything else, the Powells are wrong. They’re liars. They’re selfish psychos. It’s insane how much badness can exist in one family. I hate that Susan can’t defend herself and has had these horrid things said about her. That woman was entirely trapped by these evil people. It’s *rich* that Steve discusses how much Josh loves his boys and defended them, considering that Josh hacked them up and blew them up.
Ugh. RIP, Susan. I wish you could be found.
I thought I would hurl if I had to hear one more word, no one more syllable of Josh Powell's whiny, pathetic audio diary, but his dad's ridiculous,
excuse for music was so bad, its horribleness would be an insult to horrible music. If there was ever a need to induce vomiting, 10 seconds of any one of his laughable "songs" would do the trick.
🤣😂🤣😂😄😅💯💯💯
@@annanimity7085
THANK you! ❤️
Ok Steve is for sure a weirdo but I don’t think he knows what happened to her. Talking about her to the police he said “she is a subtle person” not “she was” like past tense cause he knows she is dead. Idk I’m still listening to interview but I thought he knew something until I heard this.
Of course he's gonna say that to throw them off. His own daughter says he was a master manipulator
Yeah he wanted her and though he was pervy I doubt he would have helped with killing her or disposing of her. I mean the guy really thought he had a chance and was just waiting for a son and her to separate. He deserve to be in jail for other things but I don't think he had anything to do with her disappearance.
He sounds genuinely appalled when the he asks dude "so you think shes dead?" You can hear the horror in his voice. I don't think daddy Steve had much to do with it besides being the world's biggest creep he seemed to genuinely care for Susan, as deluded as he was.
I don’t think he had anything to do with it either although the fact that his and Josh’s phones were off at the same time for hours is highly suspicious. But you can hear it in his diary entries in the days after Susan disappeared, that he’s trying to work out what happened to her and his suspicions of Josh.
The conversation at 44 mins... wow. And I wonder if Susan’s parents are going to use the settlement money to find her. Also, I don’t blame the social worker, but do feel that she should have done more.
I can’t say for certain that I would have broken a window to go in after them, but I want to think that I would have. She comes off as very docile, not someone who fiercely protected those boys. I’m sure she lives with the what if’s, and seems haunted, but damn. This happened on your watch. It’s a horrific story no matter what way you look at it and there were a huge number of failures working together for the ending horror.
I cant believe they allowed the visit to happen at his home! Pretty sure they don't do that anymore.
She gets into that house, she dies too obviously.
The 'fixation' issue (most likely an undiagnosed mental illness) is definitely something that was passed from father to son genetically and reinforced with behaviors demonstrated by the father in the son's childhood. However, as the son did dabble in the sexual fixation (like his father) it would seem that his fixations were more on control and ownership. The way he speaks of HIS possessions connotes that he felt that Susan and the boys were also possessions... not unlike his tools or laptops. Fear of the loss of control and ownership of these 'possessions' led him to end them all so he would win in the end... in his mind.
The presence of the Mormon religion in all this would've not allowed for mental health diagnosis that may have helped both Steve and Josh years and years ago and the women and children were allowed to suffer with unrestrained illness and abuse rampant in their households. Susan and her boys paid the ultimate price for this indulgence, unfortunately.
Finished listening to the rest tonight. Is it just me, or does anyone else HATE the way Steve Powell says the name "Susan" in the actual interviews? 😫😫😫
I hate the way he says anything
Its called being terrified of someone to the point that you do what they ask to keep them form getting worse.
Steve is completely delusional!!! Apple, tree...
I don’t know who’s music creeps me out more, Steve Powell’s or Charles Manson’s music. 🎵😱
See what happens to frustrated artists? Hitler was one. Respect artists
Lol definitely Steve powell’s 😂😂
Need input by Cold Podcast......@ 36:21..the woman voice saying possibly a two syllable word...was that an editing error or do we have an evp?
I heard it, but I cant tell what it says. It does sound like a female.
@@normacunningham8913 I listened again tonight, ....Dont even? Like when you are mad at someone and you say "dont even", short for dont even think about it.....
@@topherjoe1 , It does sound like "Dont" something. That's really strange. It's a womans voice. And the first word sounds like "Dont".
I wonder if Josh ever researched the Scott Peterson case of the murder of his wife Laci?? They kinda have a lot in common🤔🤢
Josh Powell was another Scott Peterson, they both lost their wives and refused to help search for them, and forget they ever existed when they don't ever mentioned their names.
Why didn’t the cops ever play Steve’s confessions about how josh was just using Susan to JOSH! Play them against each other?
Because Maxwell was inept.
@@ad6417 fully agree. Maxwell was atrocious
For guy who supposedly loved Susan, it sure sounds like he was trying to ruin she’d reputation as a mother trying to suggest Josh was protecting the kids from harm. I believe he was trying to set up an idea that Josh killed Susan in defense of the kids.
Even Steve knew he didn’t love Susan, he was just in love with an illusion of a romance with her. Just another one of his sick fantasies and he didn’t mind making her look bad to save his son.
Heavy D Sparks actually mentioned this podcast often, while searching and cleaning out that mine around a week ago. Sure hope what they found, can be linked to Susan. It will be a great day when she can be laid to rest with her kids! She got mixed you some seriously weird people. The creepy father in law! Surprised he was interested in an adult woman!
Ok, wait... those songs are for real? And buddy thought they were awesome?? 😅😅😅
"I can love you in a special way.". That line is famous now. That's the clip they play in every documentary.
Right? His music was *terrible* XD!
Yes, he probably though his music was amazing. If somebody played that as I was falling asleep, I would be up for the rest of the night. 😱
Like Father like Son, two wackos.
Wow, Steve has some imagination.
I can't decide who was more creepy & sick, Steve or Josh.
Well that would be Steve because he was the father and created Josh. I'm sure his influence and obvious mental issues played a big part into who Josh became. Including his obsession with finding and keeping a woman.
STEVE !!!! FO SHO!!!!
It’s just so horrible to think that the officer who interviewed Steve was correct. Josh was broken aka a monster and he did kill his kids
I hope I never have to hear Steve sing again.
Susan's singing is absolutely gorgeous! All the other parts of Steve's songs make me sick. 🤢🤮
He really doesn't live in reality. Sick, sick man
Yep. All pedophiles believe their child victims are the ones that instigate their crimes.
The 3 bonus episodes are not there. It says the site may be for sale & gives a phone number. I just wanted to share this with others. Ty. Marla
I am here from Stephanie Harlowe too.
WoW She was a living Angel, She Should've become a Singer, Wow What a Real AngelicVoice...heartbreaking now she's singing in heaven with her children So So Sad😪😔🤧🥺😥😢😰😭💔💔💔
This episode needs a NSFL tag for those music clips. 🤮
Ahhhhhh all my family lives in Henderson Las Vegas
He thinks she’s dead I think Steve’s convinced himself she wouldn’t leave hims. Susan would never leave Steve, she, she was far too in love to just walk out of Steves life. If Josh doesn’t want her, Steve does. What weirdos
Wow the music and singing was creepy and scary.
49:50 to 50:00 "threw her in a hole", if Dave Sparks did find her....Massive Chills.
Outstanding
Wasn't expecting to hear Reignbot try to sell me things here.
Did Steven Powell truly believe his own lies, though? He strikes me as someone who deliberately dances around the truth and comes up with ego-stroking theories. Did he truly believe Susan was after him when his songs unwittingly portray her rejections of him?
Sick family, at least his daughter has a heart
Those songs….made me want to shower in bleach and scrub with wire wool. Ewwwww🤢
Instead of questioning Steve about why he was proposing this sudden strange theory and his inappropriate relationship with Susan,why did FBI agents warn him that Josh was going to be arrested? They showed their cards. I suppose they were trying to scare him to put pressure on Josh. Instead they just let him ramble on unquestioned. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess
utah creeps me out
Whoever said they would spank the child sounds so evil like you can hear and feel like u would not want to b in the same room as them
Ffs that was his mom Susan. Not evil at all and if she spanked, well, that’s how she was raised. She was a loving sweet mother to both her sons
Steve fukin powell sounds like fukin goofy when he’s singin. Imagine gooffy goin *Yoik yoik yoik*
I thought the exact same thing lmaooo!
49:55 “I threw her in a hole up on, you know whatever“
SMH!
Creepy songs
Steve is "projecting" everything Josh did onto Susan🤦😡
Oh my God is anyone slightly normal in that town LMAO 😂😂😂
i have cancelled future snow ski trips to utah
Oh my lawd....the music....so awkward
I'm feeling Susan ìs in water and not so deep down either, I keep getting çrystal for a name of either a person or a place/river, I'm also getting October 10th for a special date this could be an anniveŕsary/ birthday etc that's special to or linked to Susan, I feel she wants to be discovered so she can be taken home to her family, she just wants to go home. I'm getting many, many times she wanted to go home in life, she's telling me that she was not allowed to go home in life, now she's passed she wants to be at rest close to family, close to home.🙏🏻💔🙏🏻💔 Love & Light 💜
This is creepy and stupid.
@@ad6417 I only repeat what I am asked to by spirit, I'm truly sorry if that offends you and please know I never meant for that to happen Lovely..💜
