The Powell Family : Mother Goes Missing, Father Kills Himself and Their TWO SONS

In December 2009, Susan Powell mysteriously vanished after attending church with her husband Joshua and their two sons. The next day, Joshua claimed he took the boys on a late-night camping trip, but police found his story suspicious, especially after discovering Susan's blood in the home and a letter expressing fear of her husband. Joshua's odd behavior continued as he withdrew money from her accounts and pulled the kids from daycare. Their son, Charlie, later told a teacher his mother was dead, raising further alarm. Joshua became a prime suspect, but no charges were filed due to a lack of evidence.On February 5, 2012, during a supervised visit, Joshua Powell locked out the social worker and set off a deadly explosion that killed him and his sons, Charlie and Braden, in a shocking double murder-suicide. Investigators found gasoline spread throughout the home, and the boys suffered both carbon monoxide poisoning and hatchet wounds. Joshua had emailed his goodbyes, donated the children’s belongings, and named his brother as his life insurance beneficiary. So, Josh and the boys are dead and to this day.. Susan Powell is still missing.
