SUSAN Powell went missing in December of 2009.
It wasn’t until a decade later that she was legally declared dead, although her body has never been located.
Steven Powell was the father-in-law of missing person Susan
Who was Susan Powell’s father-in-law Steve Powell?
Steve was the father of Josh Powell, Susan’s husband and the primary suspect in her disappearance.
In 2012, Steve was convicted of voyeurism, for which he served a 30-month sentence.
He was convicted with the possession of child pornography in 2015, serving two years in prison for the crime.
In July of 2018, Steve died as the result of heart problems at the age of 68.
Prior to his initial conviction, Steve’s home was investigated for clues relating to the disappearance of Susan.
While there, police found thousands of voyeuristic photos, including images of his young neighbors and of Susan.
According to officials, Steve had an unnatural obsession with the missing mother-of-two.
“She actually moved away to Utah because he was obsessed with her,” Anne Bremner – the attorney representing Susan’s parents – said at the time.

What happened to Susan Powell?
After attending church with her children on the morning of December 6, 2009, Susan was visited by a neighbor at home.
She was never to be seen again.
On December 9, the police searched the Powell family residence and found traces of Susan’s blood as well as her life insurance policies.
Investigators noted Josh’s behavior as suspicious, but he was never formally charged with her disappearance and suspected death.
Three years later, on February 5, 2012, a social worker called 911 after taking Charlie and Braden to what was meant to be a supervised visit at Josh’s home.
He reportedly grabbed the children and would not let the social worker through the door.
Moments later, the house exploded, killing Josh and the boys.
The case was treated as a double murder-suicide.
In February of 2022, Dave Sparks of Diesel Brothers fame made headlines for exploring the West Desert in Utah with Susan’s father, Chuck Cox.
Sparks told Fox’s Salt Lake City affiliate: “I was very fascinated with the idea of maybe helping find Susan.”
Sparks added: “I’ve kind of just been following along ever since, and then we got a tip that there’s a chance she’s out here.”
He went on to say: “We wanted to raise awareness of this whole case make sure that people don’t forget about what happened to Susan.”
