[Nancy Grace:] Breaking news tonight, live, Salt Lake City. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of a young stockbroker, a mother of two, 28-year-old Susan Cox Powell, last seen when Daddy suddenly announces at midnight on a Sunday night he`s taking the boys, ages 4 and 2, camping in the snow. They get back home, Daddy says Mommy`s gone. She`s never seen again. Then more tragedy for Susan`s family. Husband Josh Powell`s home explodes in a towering burst of flames. Inside, Josh Powell, and in a bitter twist, Susan`s beloved little boys, Josh Powell inflicting the greatest pain ever on Susan and her family in a suicide-double homicide of the two little boys, just 5 and 7. Bombshell tonight. After outrageous claims from the father-in-law Josh Powell`s father that he was having an affair with Susan Powell, we obtain the father-in-law`s private journals. Tonight, police release part two, revealing his twisted sex obsession with his own daughter-in-law, Susan, the diaries complete with undercover photos of Susan, some of them so graphic, we can`t repeat them in their entirety on the air. Tonight: Did the sex-obsessed father-in-law mastermind Susan`s death and the murders of her two little boys? He`s only behind bars for a few more months before he`s released, on another charge. Are police on the move? Will there be charges against Josh Powell`s father-in-law? As I said, police just releasing another round of the father-in-law`s sex diaries. And tonight, with us live, Susan`s father taking your calls.
[Unidentified Male:] "It`s been almost two years since I`ve seen her." "Fantasies keep me going every day. I`m not exaggerating. I fantasize about her every day." "I would love to dress and undress her." "I would love to play peek-a-boo games with her."
[Steven Powell, Susan Powell`s Father-in-law:] Susan was very, very sexual with me. There`s no question in my mind that the feelings were mutual.
[Unidentified Male:] "I masturbated in her presence twice, while we were alone at the kitchen sitting at the counter." "The first time, she actually watched me in the reflection in the sliding door."
[Powell:] That`s kind of the way she interacts with the opposite sex.
[Unidentified Male:] "Did she tell Josh about which of our body parts rubbed against each other on the couch a few weeks ago?"
[Unidentified Female:] Do you think a part of you started falling in love with Susan?
[Powell:] Yes.
[Unidentified Male:] "I thought Susan was dead." "I now believe she is alive." "I am 99 percent certain Susan absconded." "And she was alive when she
[Grace:] Good evening. I`m Nancy Grace. I want to thank you for being with us. Bombshell tonight. Live to Salt Lake City, the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a young stockbroker, a mother of two, Susan Cox Powell. After bizarre and outrageous claims by her father-in-law that he was having a torrid affair with her, we get our mitts on his private journals. This is really round two released by police, these private journals that reveal his twisted and sick obsession with his own daughter- in-law, Susan Powell, now missing. Tonight, with us live, Susan`s father taking your calls. Also with us, the family`s lawyer, Anne Bremner, also taking your calls. Another round of the journals. We`ve now picked through them relentlessly. Take a listen to part of what Susan Cox Powell`s father-in- law had to say about Susan, now missing.
[Unidentified Male:] "One time, she came in after taking an evening shower, and I asked if I could smell her hair. She came over to my chair and bent over my lap, her face looking directly down my huge
[Grace:] All right, this is her father-in-law. And did you hear at the beginning of our program his other entry into his diary that said that he had masturbated in her presence twice, one of those times being in the kitchen? And he was sure he was sitting at the kitchen bar, which means she could not see him from the waist down, and that he`s convinced she saw him in the reflection of the window, which means think about it, reason this through her back was turned to him. She had no idea what he`s doing right there in her own kitchen. Now she`s missing. And isn`t it true to Jim Kirkwood, joining me out of Salt Lake City, KTKK that the father-in-law is absolutely in town from another state the weekend Susan Cox Powell goes missing?
[Jim Kirkwood, Ktkk:] There is evidence from cell phone records, his disappearance from work. There seems to be strong evidence he may have been in town, Nancy.
[Grace:] Joining me right now exclusively this evening, Chuck Cox. He is Susan Cox Powell`s father, his family dealt the greatest blow, not only losing their daughter, but then in a horrible, horrible turn of events, DFACS family services takes the boys over for a visit with the dad, Josh Powell. They`re only in the home a few moments before an inferno an inferno explodes inside the home. The two little boys were killed by their own father but not by burning. They were actually chopped in the neck with a hatchet by their own father, a homicide-suicide, stealing the last piece of Susan Cox Powell. Chuck Cox, having been a tangential victim of murder myself, it`s hard enough to deal with that. Now that I have children, I don`t know how you bear the pain of losing those two little boys in that fire. And now these ridiculous and offensive diaries comes to light. What is your response?
[Chuck Cox, Susan Powell`s Father:] The diaries are strictly Steve`s own twisted view of reality and clearly have no credence whatsoever. He clearly is just he`s sick.
[Grace:] You know, she made it very clear to you during her life and I say that because I`ve got no doubt in my mind that Susan is, in fact she`s dead. She`s in heaven now. There`s no way she ever would have left these children with Josh. There`s no way she would have run off with some other guy. She was deeply religious. That would never have happened. Didn`t she communicate to you how creepy the father-in-law was, how she didn`t want to be alone with him?
[Cox:] She did. She did communicate that to us.
[Grace:] So Chuck Cox, if she were having some surreptitious affair with the father-in-law, why would she bring attention to him and her feelings about him to you?
[Cox:] Absolutely, she wouldn`t. And that there was never anything. It was all in his mind.
[Grace:] You know what I`m really worried about? I`m going to go to Anne Bremner, high-profile lawyer out of Seattle, who is there in the studio with Susan`s father, Chuck. Anne, the father-in-law, Steven Powell, is behind bars right now. And he`s behind bars on what charge?
[Anne Bremner, Cox Family Attorney:] Voyeurism, Nancy. He was convicted by a jury of 14 counts of voyeurism. And then the judge dismissed a few counts at sentencing. It was involving two little girls that lived next door that he was surreptitiously photographing, filming for about a year. And he`ll be out get this in May of 2013.
[Grace:] Well, let`s get right down to it. Let`s not mince any words, Anne Bremner. He`s behind bars because he was taking photos and possibly more with a long-angle lens of an 8 and 9-year-old little girl...
[Bremner:] Right.
[Grace:] ... urinating in their bathroom in their home, all right? So when all of us go to the bathroom, we can worry about people like...
[Bremner:] Yes.
[Grace:] ... Steve Powell taking a long shot of us tee-teeing, all right, in our own home.
[Bremner:] Right.
[Grace:] An 8-year-old and 9-year-old little girl. So he`s behind bars on that. And what`s so significant is unless police finally do the right thing and investigate him as part of the homicide of Susan Cox Powell and of the two little boys, he`s going to get out and walk free. And yet another tragedy will have taken place. Another case will have slipped through the cracks there in Salt Lake City. We`re taking calls. To Marlene in South Carolina. Hi, dear. what`s your question?
[Unidentified Female:] Well, I want to know why they`re not digging more into the father-in-law`s whole thing with Susan Powell. I mean, I really think he`s the one that killed her.
[Grace:] You know, back out to you, Chuck Cox. Have you spoken with police about investigating this pervy father-in-law? Right now, he`s not named a person of interest or a suspect.
[Cox:] We have. We talked to the police about Steve Powell early on in the investigation. And we still feel he knows where my daughter is. And you know, although we can`t give up on our daughter until we find her.
[Grace:] For those of you that don`t understand the depth and the magnitude of Steve Powell`s obsession with his daughter-in-law, take a listen to this.
[Unidentified Male:] "I was hugging a pillow and saying her name over and over, hoping she would think of me and feel something, even though she is hundreds of miles away. In the last few days, I have laundered a lot of clothing that belonged to my mom. She will not be using it. And some I would love to see on Susan. Maybe when she comes, I will be able to talk her into trying some things on." "I sent the Valentine to Susan. I sent her two pair of pantyhose. I would dearly love to see them on her body, not just her legs. I gave her a different kind than usual. I have always given her nude-colored with regular panty. This time, I gave her off-black with high-cut panty. I`ve wondered what she thinks about my giving her something so intimate, but I love to do it and she doesn`t seem to mind. I`m pretty sure she likes it." "What I really hope is that putting them on makes her think of me and arouses her sexually as she recalls our close encounter on the couch. If this non-affair we are having affects her even half as much as it affects me, she will be thinking of me every time she sits or lays on that couch where we were feeling each other in intimate places. She will think of me when she slips on pantyhose since she only seems to be wearing the ones I have bought her lately. And she will think of me when she puts the "Friends" DVDs in to watch her favorite program." "That hamper had some nicely soiled panties. The bottom line is that it`s nice to have her scent to enhance my fantasies about her. I have over a dozen articles of her underwear soiled with her bodily fluids and odors. I have stacks of pictures of her, early age to present. For the record, I have 12 pairs of Susan`s panties, four of her tops, two pantyhose and one pair of socks. Although Susan is definitely at fault for starting me lusting for her, I am clearly carrying the ball now."
[Grace:] For those of you that have just joined us, these are portions of just-released diaries, sex diaries by Susan Powell`s father-in-law. He`s behind bars now for only a few more months. Right now, he`s behind bars for taking long-angle lens shots of an 8 and 9-year-old little girl tee-teeing in the bathroom in their own home. He`s in jail for voyeurism. But many court watchers believe he had something to do, if not the mastermind, to Susan Cox Powell`s death and disappearance, as well as the death of her two little boys, ages 5 and 7. Clark Goldband on the story Clark, these diaries it`s another round of diaries that we have just gotten our mitts on and are sifting through. What do we learn?
[Clark Goldband, Nancy Grace Producer:] Nancy, we learn more of this sexual pleasure that Steve Powell gets from writing about his daughter-in- law. He speaks many times of masturbating in front of her. He speaks about hugging a pillow as tight as he can, hoping she feels it a few hours away. And also, Nancy, there`s a time that Steve Powell writes about that he is taking footage of Susan, and Susan sees him and tells him to stop and put the camera away. Now, you can contrast this with other times that we`re read about where Steve Powell would drive to the parking lot inside of the mall and shoot Susan entering and exiting her car. He would then watch those films later and write about the activities he would do after watching those films.
[Grace:] To Dana. Do you have the shot that Steve Powell took of himself? It`s on page 696 out of his his diary. And wait until you hear what he writes underneath a photo of himself. With me tonight is Susan`s father, Chuck Cox. Chuck, is there any way to put a fire under the police to get them to investigate the father-in-law as it relates to Susan`s murder?
[Cox:] Well, I don`t know. I think that`s what they have to be doing. They`re still continuing the investigation. Who are they investigating? Josh is gone.
[Grace:] What about it, Anne? What can we do? What do we have to do?
[Bremner:] Well, I`m flying to Utah after this, Nancy. I`m going to go to West Valley city council. I`m trying to get all the records so we can see what they`ve been doing. This is my third part of an appeal. And we`ve also given more information
[Grace:] Let`s take a look at that shot, Dana, you found for me. Thank you. Here`s Steven Powell, and as he writes in his diary, Steven Powell demonstrating a massage position. "Here I am demonstrating the position I was in directly from behind her as I held her. My calf was under the thigh. My foot was under her" I`m just going to say behind. "I took this clip of myself getting ready for bed and recounting my exotic experience on the couch with Susan." Bottom line to Dr. Leslie Seppinni, clinical psychologist he had his foot on her thigh, sitting on the sofa, and he`s turned it into an "exotic experience"?
[Leslie Seppinni, Clinical Psychologist:] Well, clearly, this is a person who`s escalating and escalating. And oftentimes, sexual predators like to keep sexual trophies. And as they escalate, those trophies turn them on so much and arouse them so much that, yes, it wouldn`t be uncommon for him to ultimately kill the person of his affection or his obsession. He can`t have her, then nobody else can.
[Unidentified Male:] "If she didn`t see my
[Grace:] For those of you just joining us, we`re not playing portions of Steven Powell`s sex diaries for the fun of it. We want tonight for him to be investigated in the death and disappearance of his daughter-in-law Susan Cox Powell, with whom he had an insane obsession. Reading his sex diaries all about her, they`re sickening. She`s dead. Her body has never been found. Her children are dead. Nothing was ever done! Isn`t it true, Chuck Cox with me, her father police kept telling you a move was going to be made. A move was going to be made. Somebody was going to be arrested. And then the next thing you know, the boys are dead.
[Cox:] Yes. I we lived with this for the whole time our daughter is missing, and she`s still missing now. We still don`t know where she is. And we`ve been promised, encouraged every step of the way that, you know, just a little bit longer. Don`t worry. It`s coming. We`re going to arrest Josh. We`re going to do this. And now we`re being encouraged, Well, our investigation isn`t over. We`re still working on it. We`re going to we`re going to find your daughter. And that`s what we`ve lived with forever.
[Unidentified Male:] "I know Susan is watching the hubbub surrounding her disappearance and must be wondering what is going on with us, since we have avoided contact with the media. Her parents are constantly in contact with the media, and we ignore all the stupid things they say, including accusations against Josh and veiled accusations against me."
[Grace:] She never had a chance. This was written by her father-in- law, who she completely tried to avoid. She was afraid of him. He was sexually obsessed with her. She`s married to Josh Powell, who then later kills his own two boys, ages 5 and 7, her children, the only thing she had left in life of that marriage. They are dead. Her body has never been found. Do you think you`re disgusted by these sex diaries? We are, too. But let me tell you something. The portions that you are hearing, State`s exhibit number 1 of her father-in-law`s sick obsession with her. State`s exhibit number 1. And his involvement in her death and disappearance. Why aren`t police moving on this? Right now Steve Powell, behind bars on voyeurism. He was taking long lens shots of a little 8-year-old girl and her 9-year-old sister urinating in their own home through the window. He mysteriously shows up from out of state the weekend she goes missing? You don`t think he knows where her body is buried? Right now a call for justice. With me tonight, her father, Chuck Cox and the family lawyer, Ann Bremner. We`re taking your calls. Lori in North Carolina. Hi, Lori. What`s your question, dear?
[Lori, Caller From North Carolina:] I have quite a few. The first thing I want to ask is, how come they cannot charge him with voyeurism or whatever they call it for videotaping her without her knowledge? And I also think that the days that he disappeared after, you know, while she first disappeared, that I think he has her body somewhere. Because you know how he liked to collect her hair and stuff. You know, it would be like a trophy. We don`t know what he has hidden on her. I think he is so guilty. And I think he is in on this.
[Grace:] Lori in North Carolina, a lot of crime analysts agree with you. OK. Dana, do not show the photo I`m describing on page 1672. In that photo unleash the lawyers, Jennifer Smetters, Kirby Clements, Steve Perkel. Jennifer, family law attorney out of Chicago, in this photo, I`m sure you`ve seen it. He says and I`m reading. He`s got these photos pasted into his diary. Repeat, do not show the photo, Dana. He`s got a photo of her getting ready, getting dressed and getting ready in her bathroom. Now, we know he took long lens shots of this 8- year-old and 9-year-old little girl in their home, I guess across the street. Here he is, he`s getting her, changing clothes in the bathroom. And he writes, "She was so beautiful, that day was particularly memorable for me because it was the only time I watched her inserting a tampon." And he`s got these shots of her getting ready in the bathroom. Then it shows a shot of her in her underwear and bra. And he is saying he writes, there is an actual photo of Susan in her white panties that allows for a good idea I can`t read the rest on the air. It says shots of her face and, yes, her eyes with no makeup. This is all clearly being taken without her knowledge. So what about Lori in North Carolina`s question regarding at least a charge on voyeurism? Let the state put it up as a charge. And let a jury decide whether she knew she was being watched or not. Because the defense is going to claim, oh, you can`t prove it because she`s dead now, thanks to her husband and probably her father-in-law. She`s dead now. She can`t claim she didn`t see him taking the photos. But let a jury decide that. What about that, Jennifer?
[Jennifer Smetters, Family Law Attorney:] He preserved the evidence. This man is so twisted in his head that he was bragging about these vile and vulgar thoughts and actions he took against the mother of his grandchildren. I hope those prosecutors go after him and quick.
[Grace:] To Kirby Clements and Steve Perkel. Steve, defense attorney out of New York. Why not just charge as Lori in North Carolina suggests of voyeurism on Susan Cox-Powell?
[Steve Perkel, Defense Attorney:] Because right now, Nancy, we have nothing to prove that there was any voyeurism.
[Grace:] You haven`t seen this diary? We sent it to you.
[Perkel:] That`s his
[Grace:] You haven`t seen these photos?
[Perkel:] Nancy, that`s his personal notes.
[Grace:] So?
[Perkel:] We don`t know if that`s his fantasy or if that`s actually what occurred.
[Grace:] Steve, Kirby, there are photos of her that I just described to you in detail. All right? Why can`t we go forward with a charge of voyeurism on her?
[Kirby Clements, Defense Attorney:] Well, when did the statute of limitations run on that particular charge, number one? Number two, you`re just mad at him because the police didn`t do their job and arrest Josh for murdering the daughter. That`s about
[Grace:] Yes, I am mad. I am mad. But that doesn`t preclude a voyeurism charge.
[Clements:] Well, no, there`s nothing to charge him with. The statute of limitations, we don`t know when it ran, and you know what, we don`t know whether she knew about it. Unfortunately she is
[Grace:] Please stop.
[Clements:] we believe she`s dead.
[Grace:] To Anne Bremner, what`s the possibility of at least a voyeurism charge so Steve Powell who has not been named a suspect, not been named a person of interest in this case, in the death and disappearance of his daughter-in-law, what about at least a charge on voyeurism based on these photos alone?
[Anne Bremner, Defense Attorney:] Nancy, we`re mad, too. But we`ve been told that they and the police in Pierce County and in Utah had these journals from the search warrant that was executed through Utah. We`ve been told statute of limitations has run. They think they can`t go four of those charges because they can`t show that Susan knew what she knew
[Grace:] What about calling the statute from the time of discovery of the diary? Could the statute be told to start running at the time of the discovery of the diary?
[Bremner:] Exactly. Exactly. And we`ve actually argued that, both Chuck and I have done argued this with authorities from Pierce County saying, you know, bring it, go do it. And they said that that wouldn`t be sufficient for them to show enough under the discovery rule to go forward or get past the statute of limitations. I disagree, of course. I have said that to them.
[Grace:] You know what? I want to hear from Chuck Cox. How many more excuses is the police department and the D.A.`s office going to make in bringing a charge?
[Chuck Cox, Father Of Susan Cox Powell:] And that`s why we have to find out what they really knew. That`s why enough is enough. It`s been long enough they`ve had all the chances they need to get something done and they are not doing it. That`s why we have to know what they know so we can take action on our own, if possible. To a private investigator, whatever. We have to do something here.
[Grace:] Everybody, our family album back show casing your photos. Here are North Carolina friends, the Harris, Phyllis and Maberry, 49 years, about to celebrate their 50th with daughter Bobbi, grandchildren Trip and Meredith. Share your photos through iReport family album at hlnTV.comnancygrace then click on "Nancy`s Family Album."
[Unidentified Male:] All I want to do is think and write about Susan. I think I will go lay down and fantasize about her a while longer. She is the most wonderful, beautiful, and feminine image that has ever come into my mind. I would even have enjoyed it if she had called me Satan incarnate for trying to lead her into sexual sin. It is hard and painful emotionally to want Susan so bad. But she continues to make my creative juices as well as my sexual juices flow. My whole body still cries out for her.
[Grace:] We are taking your calls right now. Susan Cox-Powell missing, believed to be dead. The husband, Josh Powell announces he`s taking the boys camping on a cold night, subzero temperatures in the snow. It`s a Sunday night at midnight. He says they come back home the next morning and Susan is gone. After that, he blows up his own home in a towering inferno. With their little boys, ages 5 and 7 inside. Tonight, we want justice. The father-in-law, the author of these repulsive sex diaries, these fantasies about his own daughter-in-law, investigated in the disappearance of Susan Cox-Powell. Police say he`s neither a suspect nor a person of interest. There is one shot of her well, there`s many, there`s hundreds of shots. To my understanding that we`ve just gotten a whole new round of diary entries. It says, "The above shot turns me on mainly because when I look at the image I imagine Susan is giving the camera a mischievous smile because she`s not wearing underwear. The dress buttons down the front. So I would like to slip my fingers in between buttons." And it goes on and on. There is another shot of just her knee. There are shots where she`s trying to go into work. She obviously doesn`t know he is stalking her, taking shots of her going into her office. We are taking your calls. Out to Aaron Brehove, body language expert. Aaron, you have observed video of the father-in-law, Steve Powell, speaking. What is your observation, Aaron?
[Aaron Brehove, Voice Analysis And Body Language Expert:] Well, when we see him on "Good Morning America" we see that it`s a very unusual exuberance, excitement of him when he`s talking about his daughter-in-law being missing. And he says that he`s in love with her. And it`s so low. And it`s so odd to see this excitement, this genuine happiness during this period where she`s missing and he`s talking about his grandchildren`s mother. And then also we look at when he`s not really truthful with himself in his diaries when he talks about her calling him a pedophile and then saying that she probably loves him. We see that he`s not even truthful with himself much less do I expect him to be truthful with anybody in the public.
[Grace:] To you, Dr. Michelle Dupre, medical examiner, forensic pathologist, joining us out of Columbia. Dr. Dupre, the little boys, her children, before their death, before their murders at the hands of their father, stated that mommy was in the car trunk, that mommy was in the mines, all right, looking for crystals. If her body had been placed in a mine shaft what would the condition of the body be now and could DNA be found on it such as Steven Powell`s DNA, the father-in-law?
[Dr. Michelle Dupre, M.d., Medical Examiner And Forensic Pathologist:] Well, there is a good chance that the DNA could be found. It really just depends on the actual condition of the body. If this is a warm environment, the body may have actually mummified preserving some of the DNA and as well as perhaps other trace evidence. But if it`s not, if the body is mostly skeletonized, DNA would be very difficult to find.
[Grace:] Back to Chuck Cox, this is Susan`s father joining us tonight. And taking your calls. What was it that the boys said or drew regarding mommy being in a car trunk or that mommy being in a mine shaft?
[Cox:] Well, Braden drew a picture of the family on an outing and he drew a van with three people inside. And he told the people he was at day care. And that he told the people there that that`s that`s me, that`s daddy and that`s Charlie. And he said, mommy`s in the trunk. And then he`d later volunteered that they stopped and mommy and daddy got out but mommy didn`t come back.
[Grace:] And Anne Bremner, police have that statement. Police have that drawing, correct?
[Bremner:] Absolutely. And it did nothing.
[Grace:] To Steve Moore, former fed with the FBI, author of "Special Agent Man." Steve Moore, look, I`m guilty, I`m always on the side of the police as a former prosecutor. As a crime victim myself. But I really believe they have dropped the ball on this case.
[Steve Moore, Former Fbi Agent, Investigator, Author Of "special Agent Man":] Well, it would seem that they have. They should be a little bit more aggressive. They should be a little bit more imaginative. That`s my guess.
[Grace:] A little bit more aggressive, Steve Moore? The two little boys are dead because the father was never arrested.
[Moore:] Right. And they had this diary which, frankly, is so gross I wish it hadn`t been aired, especially with dramatic reading. But they really, really have to ask themselves why they didn`t go forward with it.
[Grace:] Well, you know, cops are the ones that release these diaries. Out to the lines, Sandra in Ohio. Hi, Sandra, what`s your question?
[Sandra, Caller From Ohio:] Yes, Nancy. Don`t you think that Josh knew all along that his father was writing these things down and maybe he was helping him along?
[Grace:] Good question. To Alexis Weed, our producer on the story. As a matter of fact, Susan Cox-Powell brought her father-in-law`s unwanted advances to the attention of her husband Josh Powell. We know that for a fact.
[Alexis Weed, Nancy Grace Producer:] She did, Nancy. That`s one of the things that she complains about according to these diaries, according to Steven Powell`s diaries. She complains to Josh Powell that he`s making these advances. They`re unwanted. And Nancy, they moved hundreds of miles away specifically to get away from Steven Powell.
[Unidentified Male:] I would give anything to see her, touch her, feel her, look up her skirt. Even just look at her legs, massage her feet, rub her shoulders and most of all
[Grace:] Out to Jim Kirkwood, host at KTKK, joining us tonight in Salt Lake City. I`m looking at other photo diary photos in his diary. They are of her in her car, they are of her petting a little parakeet. He is obviously taking all these photos and masturbating to them without her knowledge. When were these diary entries as opposed to compared to the investigation and her disappearance, Jim Kirkwood?
[Jim Kirkwood, News Show Host, Ktkk:] Well, it`s our understanding that they were made all through when she was living there and then after she left. He has a complete record of his obsession with her. It`s disgusting but it certainly should give the police a lot of information.
[Grace:] And this goes on right up until the time she goes missing?
[Kirkwood:] Yes.
[Unidentified Male:] I am burning with desire for her. I feel like a wounded animal, crazed with the pain.
[Grace:] Even with the release of these diaries by police still no charges against the man that wrote them. Sex-obsessed father-in-law, Steven Powell. With us tonight, Susan Cox Powell`s father and the family lawyer. Jim Kirkwood joining us from KTKK there in Salt Lake City, he keeps up these entries up until the time she goes missing. My question is, where was he just before she goes missing? How far did he travel and do we have any idea why he suddenly showed up from out of state the very weekend she goes missing, never seen again?
[Kirkwood:] That is the really interesting question, because he takes off work, apparently he is in the state van on his travels and there are cell phone records that he was at least in a city north of Salt Lake, Brigham City, so this is very damning and again, why didn`t the police work on him, why didn`t they call him a person or interest, these are the questions that no one over here can answer.
[Grace:] You know, to you, Anne Bremner, lawyer for Chuck and Judy Cox, also with us tonight, Chuck Cox, he was there suddenly unannounced from out of state when she goes missing. What`s the theory about his out-of-state trip? Coincidentally, when she when she`s never seen again?
[Bremner:] Well, I think a lot I have had witnesses contact me that went to the police, and said they had more information than that that would connect them to the disappearance. And the only theory that he was involved, he had no other reason to be there, he said he went on that camping trip, quote-unquote camping trip at midnight in the snow. Called in sick after this appearance and then of course the records show he had phone contact with Josh during all of this so there`s a lot more to be investigated involving Steven Powell.
[Grace:] Chuck Cox, please tell what do we have to do, what can we do to start an investigation regarding the father-in-law, Steve Powell, and your dear`s disappearance and death?
[Cox:] I think we`re doing it. I think Anne is taking the action that needs to be done. And my biggest concern is, not to keep Steve prosecuted for the voyeurism against my daughter is, how would you like this guy out to be your neighbor? He gets out in May. He`s going to be a neighbor. He`s going to be blend be put back on that face and trying to blend in but he is still the sick, sick person. He can`t be let out.
[Grace:] Tonight, we are airing portions, the portions that are not so graphic we cannot air them, in a call to justice regarding Susan Cox and her children. Let`s stop and remember Army Private First Class Bryce Scott, 22, Eugene, Oregon, killed, Afghanistan. Bronze Star, Purple Heart, loved his family, children his whole life. Leaves behind parents, Steve and Carol, stepfather, Peter, an army vet brother Logan, daughter Selena and Mia. Bryce Scott, American hero. Thanks to our guests, but especially to you for being with us. Dr. Drew up next. Everyone, I`ll see you tomorrow night, 8:00 sharp Eastern and until then, good night, friend. END
