Utahns gather to remember Powell boys with pinwheel vigil
By Andrew WittenbergFebruary 9th, 2012 @ 5:57pm

OGDEN -- As authorities sort out the details of how that tragedy came to be, communities near and far are still mourning the deaths of Charlie and Braden Powell.

Thursday afternoon, Ogden residents gathered to remember the Powell boys with a special symbol of hope - a toy pinwheel.

Some 400 of the blue and silver child's toys were distributed among approximately 100 attendees at the vigil.

They did not know Susan Cox Powell, Josh Powell or Charlie and Braden, but nevertheless, they came to mourn and to speak out against child abuse.

DSHS spokesman pushes back at critics, defends handling of Powell case
Posted on February 9, 2012 at 4:34 PM

 ::snipping2::
Washington state Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, requested that DSHS hand over all the information it received from Utah police about the investigation into Josh Powell, his missing wife, Susan Cox Powell, and their children.

Roach sent a letter to DSHS Secretary Robin Arnold-Williams, asking the agency to provide the records, citing news reports that police in Utah had been conducting a murder investigation into Susan Powell’s disappearance for at least six months.

Shapley said DSHS remains under a court order preventing the disclosure of the Utah information, but the agency is working with the Utah courts to obtain some flexibility in releasing more information.

"Sen. Roach seems to think we drug our feet or we failed to act on the information out of Utah," Shapley told KING 5 News. "We acted on it."

Earlier on Thursday, Roach issued a statement urging DSHS "to come clean" with what it knew about Josh Powell in the days leading up to Sunday's murder-suicide.

"It appears DSHS was forewarned about information regarding Joshua Powell and the treatment of his boys. ...  Having information pertinent to the welfare of the Powell children, and not acting on it, may have actually contributed to their deaths," said Roach.

Grandparents' lawyer didn't see Powell images
Published 05:47 p.m., Thursday, February 9, 2012

 ::snipping2::

But a lawyer for Powell's in-laws, who had custody of the boys, wasn't invited to see the materials before the hearing — even though a Utah judge had specified in a sealed court order that he was one of the few people allowed to see them.

Washington police search landfill based on tip in Powell case
By nate carlisle

The Salt Lake Tribune
First published Feb 09 2012 11:35AM
Updated 17 minutes ago

 ::snipping2::
Police here are searching the recycling center at a landfill after receiving a tip that Powell may have taken papers there shortly before he ignited a fire at his home to kill himself and his two young sons.

Investigators from the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office visited the recycling center Wednesday, conducting a brief search of the area where the papers might be. The effort failed to yield anything relevant, and efforts will resume there this coming Sunday, said office spokesman Ed Troyer.

Investigators had received a tip that Powell may have taken office paper to the recycling center on Saturday, according to Don Taylor, assistant district manager for LRI Hidden Valley, which operates the landfill.

Taylor said there are no security cameras on site, and Saturday was one of the site’s busiest days on record as people disposed of debris from a recent storm. The landfill is a 3-mile drive from Powell’s Graham rental home.

APNewsBreak: Powell had 'incestuous' images

SEATTLE (WTW) — Authorities say a computer in Josh Powell's home had animated images that depicted "incestuous" sex.

Pierce County Sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer said Thursday night that the images collected by investigators from Powell's home computer in Utah two years ago were realistic computer-generated depictions of "incestuous" parent-child relations. The images were disconcerting enough that they prompted a psychologist to recommend last week that Powell undergo an intensive psychosexual evaluation.

Detective: Josh Powell computer depicted parent-child sex

SEATTLE -- A computer in Josh Powell's former home in Utah had animated images that depicted "incestuous" sex between parent and child, Pierce County authorities said, and a state official said the material prompted a judge to order Powell to undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation just days before he killed his children and himself.

Pierce County Sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer told The Associated Press on Thursday night that the images collected by investigators in Utah two years ago were realistic computer-generated depictions of "incestuous" parent-child relations.

The documents and images were recovered by police in West Valley, Utah, and sent to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department under a restrictive court order on Feb. 1, NBC station KING 5 reported. According to Washington's Department of Social and Health Services Public Affairs Senior Director Thomas Shapley, the material prompted the court to stop a process that likely would have returned Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5, to their father's custody.

Shapley said the material found on the computer was so disturbing that it prompted the state psychologist consulting in the custody case to change his opinion and recommend that the court prevent the return of the children.

Lawmaker: 'Red flags' were there throughout Josh Powell's life

 ::snipping2::

Court documents reveal Powell had a troubled adolescence filled with tension and violence. Longtime friends cite examples of behavior called both callous and selfish. Interviews and evidence gathered following the disappearance of his wife pointed to bizarre actions. And most recently, an "alert" sent to the Washington courts from authorities in Utah citing pornographic material found in his home have lawmakers and others asking why Powell was allowed near his children.

 ::snipping2::

The Troubling questions and search for understanding has put the focus on Josh Powell and his father, Steven. Trouble appeared long before Josh ever met Susan Cox.

It was in Nov. 1992, when Powell was 16, that his mother expressed concerns about her sons and what she felt they were learning from her Steven Powell, her husband.

"To see them becoming so hardened toward others and scornful of law and order is very frightening to me," Terrica Powell wrote in a court declaration. "I feel that they are being victimized by Steve's distorted teachings. I am hoping that they will be able to receive the kind of help they need in time to prevent them from destroying their lives, or others' lives around them."

The disturbing details of Josh Powell's adolescence can be found in close to 200 pages of court documents filed as part of a divorce proceeding. They include threats he allegedly made to his mother with a butcher knife,  and his killing of a pet hamster. Terrica Powell wrote numerous times about Josh Powell, who apparently followed his father's lead in harassing and abusing their mother, according to the documents.

"With the kind of disrespect the kids have learned to have regarding laws, I worry about what they will do," Terrica Powell wrote. "It seems like there is a sickness pervading my family and I have been powerless to stop it."

 ::snipping2::

Terrica Powell said many of her son's issues at the time might have stemmed from a turbulent relationship with his father. Steven Powell would "pointedly attack" Josh Powell, she stated in the documents.

"I think that much of Josh's difficulties through the years has stemmed from not knowing where the boundaries are — what are the limits of acceptable behavior," she said .

 ::snipping2::

Rachel Marini, who knew Josh Powell before he married Susan Cox, said she and her husband, Tim, became good friends with the couple in Washington. But she eventually started to take issue with the way Josh Powell treated his wife.

"Every restaurant we ate at, Susan could have one thing from the dollar menu, but he could have whatever he wanted," Marini said, recalling a road trip the group took. "He just had to be in control of every situation and the one who called all of the shots."

Marini said she was also concerned about the callousness with which he treated his children. He wouldn't extend his hand to keep a young Charlie from falling down the stairs, instead calling Susan Cox Powell in from another room to help the child. At one point, the boy appeared malnourished because Josh Powell said he wasn't "wasting his table food" on the child.

Divorce documents shed light on Josh Powell’s troubles

Puyallup, Wash. » If there are any clues to the terrible events that culminated in the disappearance of a Utah mom, a dead father and two murdered children, they may lie in documents filed two decades ago.

Long before Josh Powell killed himself and his 7 and 5-year-old sons in a fire on Sunday, the pages of his parents’ divorce file portrayed him as a seriously troubled teen who attempted suicide, killed pet gerbils, once threatened his mother with a butcher knife and early on adopted his father’s allegedly disparaging view of women.

 ::snipping2::

The divorce of Steve and Terrica Powell involved allegations of mental unfitness, pornography, polygamy and even witchcraft. There were serious conflicts over religion and parenting, and a tug-of-war ensued over the children, who at the time ranged in age from 18 to 7. Josh, the second oldest child, was 16.

APNewsBreak: Powell had 'incestuous' images

 ::snipping2::

Pierce County Sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer told The Associated Press on Thursday night that the images collected by investigators from Powell's home computer in Utah two years ago were realistic computer-generated depictions of "incestuous" parent-child relations.

"It's family-oriented in nature," Troyer said. "It is incestuous."

Troyer said the images couldn't be legally defined as pornography because they don't involve real people. Troyer said the judge in last week's custody hearing was apprised of the images at the proceeding.

 ::snipping2::

Chuck Cox, Susan Powell's father, said the images were just another indicator of problems with Josh Powell. Cox said he did not know the details of the images. He believed the kids should have been fully taken away from Powell long ago and that they raised concerns about allowing him continued contact.

"How much does it take for them to figure out that he should not have the children?" he said. "It's just wrong. They needed to be taken out of that environment."

Statement from Josh Powell's employer

The following is a statement from Josh Powell's employer:


First, our prayers and sympathies go out to the families, friends, and all those affected by this horrific event. There is not a caring person in the world that has heard the details and hasn’t been touched by sadness.

We understand the need for answers. However, we are not really a part of the story... Our company is very small and Josh Powell was simply one of our employees. He worked for us remotely from his home for less than a year, and there was not a lot of personal interaction. He was a hard worker and completed the tasks requested. We had no idea he was capable of anything like this, and of course, had anything occurred that raised our suspicion, we would have reported it to the police immediately.

Last Sunday afternoon, I received the same email that others had, it stated, “I’m sorry. Goodbye.” After I heard the news of what happened, I called 911 to report receiving the email.

I have cooperated fully with the investigation and will continue to do so.

I’ve told you everything I know. I wish there was something more that I could say to help understand this terrible tragedy. I am at a loss. We’re all at a loss.

— Ed Wadagnolo

Concerns about Josh Powell dated back to 1990s .

 ::snipping2::

The records, part of his parents' divorce proceeding, show that Josh's mother worried about her son's potential for violence.

Terrica Powell wrote at the time that she "felt extreme fear when Josh made a threat with a butcher knife in his hand."

She also recalled how Josh killed baby hamsters by throwing them against the side of their cages.

And she said Josh's father, Steven Powell, "has totally stripped away all respect in Josh ... for fidelity in marriage and loyalty to one's spouse."

Wow - he was a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off!

And....he had an enabling Mother who just did nothing, much like Anita van der Sloot.

IMO, if these Mothers truly loved their sons, they would have ensured their sons got the psychological help they so obviously needed, so they wouldn't end up being Jorans and Joshes, destroying everyone in their path with their horrendous actions.  These Mothers are spineless creatures who ARE responsible for their sons!

I could chew up a bag of 10 penny nails and spit out a barbed wire fence!!!

Which discription is the correct one Det. Troyer? 

Quote


Pierce County Sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer said Thursday that the materials included nothing that could legally be defined as pornography, but animations of people having sex.

"There were some little cartoon characters and big cartoon characters," he said. "There was nothing that would have changed the judge's mind about custody or anything like that."
