A new show is born.

Unlike anything else, it will go on to revolutionize true crime story telling.

Emersing listeners into the horrors of reality.

Its name?

Sword and Scale.

It's a show that can't be heard just once.

And now, true crime enthusiasts, Lynette Carola and Stephanie Wilder Taylor will be your companions on a journey to recap, analyze and dissect the best goddamn true crime show ever made.

This is Sword and Scale Rewind.

Welcome to Sword and Scale Rewind, the show where we break down all the episodes of our favorite podcast, Sword and Scale, and we share our thoughts, our opinions, and we get judge you with it sometimes.

We listen to the episode, we do a smidge of research, and then we give our commentary.

Please remember that we're not Wikipedia.

One thing that I would suggest that you do is listen to the podcast, the original episode that we're talking about, so that you have a good understanding of the case.

Skip parts that are too disturbing for you if you want, and then you can listen to us talk about it and it will be so much more clear to you.

And then you won't be expecting that we know every fact because you'll be like, but I know every fact because I just listen to the episode.

Alright, win, win. This episode was one of the ones that stood out in my brain, the story of Josh and Susan Powell, who wife Susan went missing. Go ahead, you were going to say, no, go ahead.

I mean, I'm just going off the top of my head because this episode was so compelling that I had to go download the book, un-audible, and listen to the book of the story of what happened.

But yeah, so it's the Josh and Susan Powell, she goes missing, the wife goes missing, two sons, young, age four and two at the time.

Braden and Charlie. Braden is the younger one. Yeah, in 2009. And yeah, he's suspect number one from the beginning.

Yeah, here's what happens. Neighbors come over and Susan's missing and he says, well, I went camping last night. So this is the December in Utah.

Starts out super suspicious. Right. There's like a storm. He goes camping, quote unquote, camping at midnight, the night before school night,

she made me on a school night and he says, what? Like, yeah, just so we're going to go have a little adventure, make some more.
