Josh Powell’s Dad “In Love” with Susan?

This is an eerie interview to watch of both Josh and his father, Stephen.  Josh is working so hard to control himself in this interview, he talks very softly. He clearly lack confidence and yet in an odd twist, we see incredible arrogance leaking out of him.

Notice how he doesn’t answer questions asked of him? 

When Josh is asked why he didn’t call his job the Monday he missed work when Susan supposedly disappeared, Josh says, “Saturday was a blur. I was convinced it was still Saturday.”  I believe him here. This is the truth. 

Josh says one thing that stood out to me.  He said that Susan walked out the front door in her underwear and started walking down the street.   The statement comes out of nowhere, and I have to ask on the night that she disappeared, is this what she did? 

To a controlling man like Josh, who may have been threatening her, she may have tried to escape out of fear, and her escaping like this would have humiliated him incredibly and might have caused him to snap.   This statement by him paints a very eerie picture, and not the picture Josh had hoped — that Susan was unstable.

And more troubling is Stephen Powell who claims that he and Susan engaged in sexual flirting and more.  He said, “We interacted in a lot of sexual ways because Susan enjoys doing that.”    I don’t believe Stephen here at all.

The reporter asked Stephen, “Do you think a part of you started to fall in love with Susan?”

Stephen says, “That’s pretty likely, yeah.”

Stephens answer says it all to me. His memory recall is off.  He doesn’t talk about it like it is a past tense event.  He talks about it in present tense…instead of saying, “Yeah, I was (past tense) in love”.

Will Josh move out of his dad’s house with these claims, or will he stay?  That’s the question.  If he stays, it sure supports the fact he and his dad are conjuring up stories together, doesn’t it?
