Josh Powell Explosion



In 2009 Susan Powell disappeared leaving her two sons just age 2 and 4 with their father Josh Powell. The boys were just beginning to tell their grandparents details about the night that their father took them on a late-night camping trip during a blizzard, including the fact that their mother disappeared after leaving in the car with their father. Now 3 years after the mother's disappearance, Josh Powell set off an explosion at his home that killed him and his two sons. The child protective services woman  brought the kids to his house for a supervised visit. Josh Powell took the kids in the house and locked the spokeswoman out. She says she could smell the gas fumes coming from the house so she called her supervisor right away.  Josh Powell's lawyer, Jeffrey Bassett, said he received an email from his client minutes before the explosion that said "I'm sorry, goodbye," but he didn't see it until two hours later, when he was informed of the blast.
