Abstract

The article discusses the death of Josh Powell and his children, Charlie and Braden, in a house explosion following the disappearance of Josh Powell's wife, Susan Powell, in 2009. Police investigators say that Josh Powell, who had been suspected of murdering his wife, hit both children with a hatchet before setting fire to the house in a murder-suicide. The article examines the arrest of Steve Powell, Josh Powell's father, Josh Powell's attempts to regain custody of his children from his father-in-law, Charles Cox, and the reactions of residents of Puyallup, Washington, where the boys lived.
