Episode Description

On this day 16 years ago, Josh Powell vanished for 18 hours in a rental car—only to reappear without explanation. Investigators believe this disappearance may have been tied to the murder of his wife, Susan Powell, yet Josh was never arrested or charged. Dave Cawley, Host of KSL's COLD Podcast, explains what he uncovered through a little-known wiretap comment and explores what might have happened during those missing hours. Was he relocating Susan’s body? And what questions remain about this specific lapse in time?
