Explosion at Josh Powell's WA home......

[Deleted member 365]

I wonder if the police will come under some heat? It just seemed like this case was mishandled from day 1.

Could they really never find enough evidence, even circumstantial, to put Josh away?

Who the hell goes camping in the wilderness in the middle of a bitter cold night in January with two extremely young kids? That night was cold as hell, I remember it. Then "forgets" where they went? What about that wet spot in the carpet? why the hell would Susan leave without any of her clothes, IDs, money, or credit cards? Why did he rent a car 2 days after his wife went missing and put hundreds of miles on it? He never answered these questions.

If you're innocent, you're doing your best to prove it. You're looking for your wife (or at least appearing to look for her). You don't go run and hide. And you certainly don't rent a car, grab the body from the hiding place (since the night you went camping/killed her, the ground was too cold to dig a decent grave) and dump the body somewhere (probably in a mine hundreds of miles away).

obviously, Josh is 100 % responsible for his own actions.

However, I wonder if the police will be criticized by family members/members of the community/media members for not doing more to put Josh Powell away?

I googled a picture of this guy and it should be noted he had a goatee. People with goatee's can not be trusted.

You gotta be sure. Dude's the kind of guy that would do all in his power to get the "not guilty" verdict, and then crow that he did it because he couldn't be tried again for it.

These two have some really horrible gotees.

I don't think so.

People are convicted on circumstantial evidence all the time. Beyond a reasonable doubt is not the same as FOR SURE WITHOUT A DOUBT.

Powell's is exceptionally bad/creepy. I can just look at this guy and tell he is either a child molester or a general creep.

Miller's isn't as bad in terms of putting him on a creepy level, but he seems like a douche in general. Probably someone who does a lot of coke.

Miller just looks like a douche, like you said.

Powell is either a child molester or a car salesmen.

Powell is either a child molester or an insurance salesmen.

Fixed.

Man,


Whenever I hear of stories like these, I've just always wanted to know what the criminal, Josh Powell in this instance, was thinking in the moments leading up to this disaster. Like, did he accept the fact that he was doing something evil? Did he actually mean well in some ****ed up sort of way? I have always been a proponent of the fact that people always mean well, despite the fact that what they do sometimes is simply the most evil of things. What he did to his two children is absolutely inhuman, and it makes me sick to my stomach, but I swear, no completely sane person can go through with that sort of plan. He mustve been completely psychotic, I mean, I could not think of a single thing that would be more difficult than to kill my own children. I would love to know why he did this, specifically. I mean we can all argue, and debate, but we will never know what he was thinking at the time.

Man, if only the cops had The Thriller on the payroll, this **** would be signed, sealed, and convicted, yo!

Gods, you armchair morons that spout off your idiot opinions as if they're facts -- do you ever click "Preview Post" and think to yourself, "Holy ****, I'm ****ing stupid."? Try it some time.

**** that dude. One of the most cowardly things I can even imagine. Rarely do I even hope there is a vengeful creator, but in instances like these, my sense of justice forces me to.

Anyone know if this is the end of that bloodline?

I think and have thought for a long time that 'parental rights' are trash. Having had some experience with a child that came out of an abusive and out of her mind wreck, it's amazing to me the laws that protect people like her and allow them to poison their children even after losing custody.

I hope this forces at least this state to re-look at the issue of parental rights. Personally, the second DCFS drops the hammer and takes your children, that should be it. Or at least, at that point, the child should have a choice as to whether they want to visit that parent or not. There's no way that any state will mandate trained and armed personnel to be the only ones that will supervise (too many resources) and that's the only other way something like this could've been prevented.
