Josh Powell Breaks His Silence

Josh Powell has had very little interest to find his missing wife, who went missing almost a year ago in December. At the time she disappeared, he gave us a filmsy story that he and his two toddler sons went camping in sub-freezing temperatures during a blizzard in the middle of the night on Sunday and Susan just decided to say home. While he was gone, Susan disappeared–she left on her own volition, according to Powell. It was absolutely absurd. Everyone and there brother figured out what likely happened–especially when they heard that two fans were found running in the residence drying a wet spot on the carpet. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know what happened. Josh paints a pretty clear picture, sadly.

Now Josh speaks out for the first time in nearly a year to the Salt Lake Tribune saying that Susan was “extremely unstable” and worse, Josh Powell’s father is saying, according to reports, that Susan ran off with another man–that she was “very sexually motivated”. It’s disgusting (yes, I am making that face)!

Josh’s father says that Susan had a tendency to lose control much like her mother.

There is an eerie ring to that statement, but if you ask me, it applies to the Powells, not to Susan’s family! Often time deceptive people have a tendency to paint their sins on others.

Josh was also reported to say about Susan, “She will be chewed up like hamburger when she comes back.”

In this report above, they also talk about the two fans that were running in the house–drying the carpet. Supposedly Josh now reveals what investigators haven’t — that there was a “red” spot on the carpet, but he says “Susan” wanted it cleaned, not him.

Absurd.

My heart goes out to the Powells. Thankfully they can take peace in one area. I think everyone sees who the monster is, and it is not Susan.

Thanks, Karon, for the link and help!

A Study of Honesty

Eyes for Lies reader, Jennifer, posted this account of a Virgina Tech student recalling the day he was shot. It’s an interesting comparison to Tiffany Hartley’s account of what happened to her when supposedly she was shot at and had a gun point directly at her.

What differences do you see?

Teaching Mr. Eyes

Portrait of a young woman shaking wet hair

It was funny last weekend. Mr. Eyes and I were sitting outside enjoying the last bit of nice weather before winter’s fury hits. We were relishing the fainter sun of fall as it is low in the sky all day where I live now.

I wasn’t feeling well and told Mr. Eyes. It was about two minutes later when he asked me, do you want to help me do a specific chore.

I sat there for a minute, pondering that it needed to be done and that he needed me, but I didn’t really want to do it. I spoke up after my thoughts and said, “If you want.”

Sitting beside me, Mr. Eyes said, you don’t really want to do it, do you? As you spoke the words if you want, you shook your head no.

I was not conscious I had done that!!! I was shocked, but knew he was right on the money. He pointed it out fast enough, too, that I could still feel myself doing it, though at the time I had stopped the motion. I was being called out on a subconscious leak!!

I thought it was cool he pointed that out. He was right on the money, but knowing he needed my help and the weather wasn’t going to get any better and the chore required outside work, I decided to help him and when I answered him, I genuinely wanted to help him, but I didn’t feel up to doing it!!! I was contradicted inside.

That is fascinating because if you watched me and judged me, you might think I didn’t want to help him and I was saying empty words, but I wasn’t. I did want to help him, but I didn’t feel up to doing it.

Are you aware of what you leak out?

Does this affect how you might interpret a head shake in the future? It was a learning experience for me!

Penny Boudreau on Investigation Discovery

I noticed a lot of hits coming to my blog tonight. At one point over 100 people were reading. I saw they were reading about Penny Boudreau. Perplexed, I looked at Google and didn’t see any news and then a reader on Facebook said they saw a preview for the story of Penny Boudreau on Investigation Discovery. There is no link, but they talk about Penny’s crime and its so eerie to see them reenact the crime. I watched Penny plead for her daughter when this happened in 2008, and it is hard to imagine this is now a crime being discussed on “Deadly Women”.

I don’t get Investigation Discovery, unfortunately, and they don’t have an embed link to the video, but you can watch the clip here.

Mary Winkler on Dateline Friday

This is a MUST see. I have written extensively on Mary Winkler, and she displays one of the most haunting micro expressions I have ever seen when she is on the stand. I wonder if Dateline will show it.

If I have time, I will try to write up a review on Mary Winkler for you.
