Standing at the top of Blow Whole Hill, I can see storm cells sliding south across the

Cedar Valley. Off to the west, the Tintic Mountains obscure my view of Rush Valley. Beyond that, a sea of basin and range, stretching on across Utah and Nevada.

It's early March. Rain has already softened the ground. We are

eight miles off the pavement down a muddy rudded dirt road.

As you saw coming out here, there's no fast way to get here.

It takes the better part of an hour from Spanish Fork to get here.

Anybody from anywhere in Utah County,

the closest anybody would be in arrival time would be 35 to 40 minutes at the very best if somebody was coming from, say, Saratoga Springs or Goshen or Eureka or something like that.

If you're not familiar with any of this geography, that's okay. All you need to understand is we are way off the beaten path.

Standing on the fringe of Utah's West Desert, next to a hole in the ground known as Nutty Putty Cave.

The opening to the cave, it starts up on flat ground up here, flat rocky ground,

then you go down into the ground about 15 feet, and from there you have to go horizontal.

And the only way to get through the first part of the opening, which is 10 or 15 feet long,

is to either go flat on your back or flat on your stomach and just kind of

move your way through carefully like that and then the cave opens up into some

larger caverns. West Valley City Police case files indicate they received the first of many tips about Nutty

Putty Cave on December 14, 2009, exactly one week after the date of Susan Powell's disappearance.

People wondered if her husband Josh Powell might have disposed of Susan's body,

not in a mine, but in the cave.

This is a bonus episode of cold, Nutty Putty Cave. I'm Dave Collie.
