...because his FATHER is on trial for child p0rn. Oh, and because he FATHER, per his ex wife, is a pervert. So despite the fact that he and his family are NOT bailing the father out, and there is ZERO evidence that he was involved in ANY way, he lost custody. The mother is missing, and while he is listed as a person of interest (the spouse is ALWAYS a person of interest), there is absolutely NO evidence that he was involved.
Like Brad Cooper, a mere accusation is apparently enough for them to take your kids away from you.

Very interesting since my x didn't lose any custody after pleading guilty to possession of the same thing. So it's ok if the father is viewing it but not the grandfather. Hmmmm.

I was surprised at this, seriously can't believe its legal, but I am not losing any sleep over it. This guy stinks of "I killed my wife" BIG TIME.

Is that really fair? I mean there is ZERO evidence he killed her (which any cop will tell you is virtually impossible to do if he is guilty), and two years after she disappeared, still no sign of ANYTHING. Consider if YOUR spouse, or a close family member disappeared, and you had everything stripped from you because you just gave people a FEELING that you did it?

How is that? If that were the case almost 100% of crimes would be solved. It would be virtually impossible if maybe she was stabbed or shot, but what if her H strangled her and then drove miles and miles and buried her? In that scenario wouldn't it be more likely that there is NOT evidence? Since she isn't a stranger to the person of interest-- her hair, fibers and DNA would be linked to anything that could have been used in the crime (if there was one).
Yes, everything right now is circumstantial. Yet it does raise some eyebrows that the night his W disappeared was a night where he took his sons camping at midnight in freezing temps, that he is uncooperative with police in regards to his W's disappearance and that as a H he has openly said that his W probably ran off with some other guy.
Lastly, according to News reports Powell asked that if the judge was to take custody from him--- that he have his children go into FOSTER CARE and NOT those of his W's parents (the children's grandparents). Yeah he sounds like a stand up guy.

"that he is uncooperative with police in regards to his W's disappearance and that as a H he has openly said that his W probably ran off with some other guy."
Well, you have to ask a few things, like what WOULD the police consider "cooperative"? Saving them work and admitting to something he didn't do? I mean if you DON'T know where she is, what do you do? And if he thought she ran off with another guy, and told them that, isn't that cooperating?
"Lastly, according to News reports Powell asked that if the judge was to take custody from him--- that he have his children go into FOSTER CARE and NOT those of his W's parents (the children's grandparents). Yeah he sounds like a stand up guy."
Would you want people who were CONVINCED that you killed there daughter to raise YOUR kids?

I thought they recently found a body in a place the wife frequented in the desert - was it not her? I hadn't heard.
I think it does stink that he doesn't have custody of his children. What ever happened to 'Innocent until proven guilty'?

No...there were no human remains actually found. There was a hit on something from the dogs they were using, but all that was found was charred pieces of wood.

I think it is totally possible to kill someone and leave no evidence behind - no police officer I know would say that unless you are talking about a stranger killing. A spouse? Not nearly as difficult. There is a good reasonable reason for your DNA/trace evidence to be all over anything on her and vice versa. I find his story of events completely unbelievable. Its written on his face every time he opens his mouth.
But I agree - taking his kids with this evidence, I find incredible and flatout illegal. I am just not going to be marching in any protest parade. Karma is a bytch.

I can see your point with the police, however they stated he wouldn't talk. But then again maybe he was sick of telling them what he knew and they were asking for more?
I would want my children with family regardless of what they thought of me UNLESS they were abusive people. I would rather have them with their grandparents (even if they thought I had something to do with my spouse's disappearance) over a foster family 100%. I know people that can put aside how they feel about the parent of their children and do what is in the best interest of the children.
At first her family didn't think he was involved, I think his behavior afterwards is what led them to second guess their initial thoughts. Also it seems as though besides child p0rn being found on the computer in the home there were supposed graphic violent sexual posters.
I cannot believe that the custody of the children going temp. to the grandparents will stick unless Powell himself is arrested for something relevant to his wife's disappearance or the charges of child p0rn.
It also seems strange that the day police broke into their home (and Dad was still out with the boys camping) that there were 2 fans being run over a "wet spot" on the rug.
