Steve Powell is the father of Josh Powell, the now deceased, person of interest in the disappearance of his wife, Susan Powell. Steve Powell’s Washington home was searched some months back. The police searched it hoping to find something to lead them to a conclusion of what happened to Susan, but they found something completely different.

When searching Steve’s house they uncovered journals and pictures full of inappropriate pictures of neighborhood kids, as well as information that is believed could play a part in the disappearance of Susan.

The trials started and the judge made it very clear to everyone that this was about Steve, and worrying about him as a potential sex offender, and this trial was not about Susan, or in any way related to her.

This coming from the judge was hard to hear for Susan’s parents, as they wanted this trial to help lead to closure in the case involving their daughter.

After an extremely long time of determining what to do about this case the jury came to a conclusion that Steve Powell was guilty. He has been convicted, but the time he will rightfully spend in jail is still undetermined.

I think that this story has every right to be covered in the way it is. Some people argue that this case does not need to be covered in Utah because it is happening in Washington, but I disagree. I think that since this is connected to Susan the public of Utah should be aware of what is going on.
