If I Can't Have You: Susan Powell, Her Mysterious Disappearance, and the Murder of Her Children

2015

Synopsis

A DEVOTED MOTHER GOES MISSING

Every once in a great while a genuine murder mystery unfolds before the public's eyes…Such is the tragic case of Susan Powell and her murdered boys, Charlie and Braden. When the pretty Utah mother went missing in December of 2009, the media was swept up in the story―with lenses and microphones trained on Susan's husband, Josh. He said he had no idea what happened to Susan―and that he and the boys had been camping in the middle of a snowstorm. It was hard to know what, or who, to believe.

AND A CYCLE OF DEVASTATION BEGINS…

Over the next three years, bombshell by bombshell, a world of secrets about the Powell family came to light. Josh's father, Steve, who was sexually obsessed with Susan, would ultimately be convicted of unspeakable perversion. Josh's brother, Michael, would commit suicide. And in the most stunning event of them all, Josh Powell would murder his two little boys before killing himself. Why did he do it? What really happened to Susan? This is the shocking true story of the Powell family that no reader will soon forget.
