Description

Steve Powell sang to the FBI just months into the search for his missing daughter-in-law Susan Powell. Agents tried to warn him that his son, Josh Powell, was likely a murderer and could kill again. Steve's bizarre views came under even more intense scrutiny after West Valley City police discovered he'd written and performed songs about Susan using the alias Steve Chantrey. He had even convinced Susan to sing background vocals for his planned album, "Light of Seattle."

For the past three years, investigative reporter Dave Cawley has been studying thousands of police documents, journals, videos and diary entries. He has tracked down new sources, followed new leads and traced Josh Powell's trail from West Valley City, Utah, through Idaho, Oregon, Nevada and on to Washington State, where Powell killed himself and his two sons. Cold is the most complete retelling of the Susan Powell story ever. Join Dave Cawley in his search for truth.

This is one of the most fascinating true crime stories told in an incredibly compelling way. The production quality is also top-notch. I've heard multiple podcasts on the Powell case, but nothing near this in-depth. I had no idea how absolutely insane Josh's father was. This is far and away one of the most twisted, depressing stories ever, and it's relayed brilliantly. I'm hooked!!! RIP Susan. I would celebrate if this turned out to be a Gone Girl situation & Susan was behind the whole thing. 😪

One of the worst parts of this has to be how Steve's music isn't satire. 😔
