Josh Powell killed his sons on February 5, 2012. The horrifying murders of two innocent children compounded the already tragic loss of their mother, Susan Cox Powell.
This episode of the Cold podcast tells the story of the day Josh Powell murdered Susan’s sons. On this page, we honor the memories of Susan, Charlie and Braden by sharing photos of them from happier times. Many of these photos have not previously been shared publicly.
“I don’t want Charlie and Braden to lose a married mother and father. But more importantly I know they should have HAPPY parents.”
Susan Powell
“I love my boys, I live for them and I choose not to cheat or do drugs because I wouldn’t want to risk losing them.”
Susan Powell
“I try so hard to at least about 10 times a day tell my children ‘I love you, you are my favorite!’”
Susan Powell
“I cherish my boys but realize they’ll grow up and move on.”
