| 0:00.0 | Hey deserve listeners, this is chapter 8 in our deep dive on the psychology of Josh Powell. |
| 0:06.5 | Umberto isn't here today because when I looked at my notes, it's basically me just |
| 0:13.7 | yammering and I didn't want to bore him. |
| 0:17.0 | So I thought I would just complete the rest of the chapters because I think maybe there'll be two more chapters without him so that I just don't have to ask him to come over to my house and sit in the chair over there and just watch me |
| 0:34.0 | Yamer. Okay, so to recap where we're at, we're in early 2010 just after Josh killed Susan in December 2009 the previous month and |
| 0:50.4 | the disappearance of Susan becomes a huge news story. |
| 0:55.6 | And there are, there's just tons |

| 1:54.7 | and explicitly states that Josh cannot have access to it and there's dozens of other |
| 2:00.5 | details all indicating that Josh killed Susan seemingly but there's |
| 2:06.2 | no body there's no obvious motive you have the life insurance but it's not necessarily a slam dunk. |
| 2:15.0 | And most murder cases, if you actually talk to prosecutors and investigators, |
| 2:21.0 | they will tell you that usually you don't have to look very far to find |
| 2:27.1 | extremely strong evidence of guilt. |
| 2:31.4 | So the fact that we're looking at this and seeing just an obvious case, especially |
| 2:38.5 | 20 after Josh kills his children. |
