SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Attention surrounding the case of a Utah woman missing for nearly two years is escalating.
The family of Josh Powell, whom authorities have called a person of interest in his wife’s disappearance, is backing up assertions that Susan Cox Powell ran off with another man in December 2009, leaving her husband and two sons behind, saying that they plan to make public pages from her journal.
Authorities recently searched abandoned mines in Ely, Nev., but didn’t reveal any new evidence. At the same time, members of the Cox and Powell families argued loudly in Puyallup, Wash., and are set to meet in court Tuesday.
Susan’s father, Chuck Cox, objects to the release of information from his daughter’s journals and says he’ll take legal action if necessary.
