Summary
On May 16, 2019, Cold host Dave Cawley stepped onto the stage at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah for Cold Live. A crowd of more than 2,000 spent the next two hours walking through the story behind the podcast with Dave and his guests, retired detective Ellis Maxwell and Utah Domestic Violence Coalition Executive Director Jennifer Oxborrow. Cold Live included never-before-heard audio journal and interview clips, as well as new voices and perspectives on the Susan Powell case. This bonus episode of Cold is an edited audio version of Cold Live.
For the past four years, investigative reporter Dave Cawley has been studying thousands of police documents, journals, videos and diary entries. He has tracked down new sources, followed new leads and traced Josh Powell's trail from West Valley City, Utah, through Idaho, Oregon, Nevada and on to Washington State, where Powell killed himself and his two sons. Cold is the most complete retelling of the Susan Powell story ever. Join Dave Cawley in his search for truth.
