If I Can't Have You
By Gregg Olsen
Archival Summary & Scope
Bestselling authors Gregg Olsen and Rebecca Morris investigate the perplexing 2009 disappearance of Utah mother Susan Cox Powell and the subsequent annihilation of her family. When Susan vanished, husband Josh claimed he and their sons, Charlie and Braden, were camping in a snowstorm. This true-crime account exposes a horrifying web of secrets: Josh's father's conviction for sexual perversion, his brother's suicide, and Josh's ultimate murder of Charlie and Braden—a tragedy for which the State of Washington was later held liable.Categorization Notes
