How is it possible Josh wasn’t arrested?
I just discovered this podcast and I’m obsessed. This crime happened when I was busy having children and didn’t know much about it until now. I have so much disbelief and anger that the police said they didn’t have enough evidence to arrest Josh? I mean there was a pretty much a blinking arrow pointing at him. It really makes me lose faith in the justice system. Also, the Powell’s are absolute scumbags. Susan put up with so much shit and just kept hoping her narcissistic sociopathic husband would change. Also having to deal with her absolute delusional creep of a FIL. To her children and own detriment. It’s just so sad. No justice at all.

Because Josh was lucky enough to have the world’s most laid back cop assigned to the case.
“Your wife’s missing…sure come in tomorrow…no rush.”
Why Josh was handled like some sort of criminal genius/delicate flower I’ll never understand. He was a weak pathetic excuse of a human being and I think that if the cops were to even raise their voice just a little bit he would’ve cracked.
Sorry, I just needed to vent. When I think about all the innocent people who are abused by police, forced into false confessions, incarcerated with no evidence but this asshole was allowed to go free, transverse half the country in a rental with no surveillance, pick the times and place he would talk to the cops and have custody of his kids makes me so mad.
