Summary
When Susan Powell disappeared from Utah in 2009, Emily and Shane were living in the same state. They followed the non-stop news coverage in real time, and are recapping the case now, over a decade later.
Susan’s body has never been found, and her tragedy was only the beginning. When police realized Susan’s father-in-law was obsessed with her, they searched his house and found truly disturbing evidence.
When Susan’s husband was backed into a corner that would prove his guilt, he chose to take his life, along with his children’s, in the most despicable manner.
