When 28-year-old mother of two, Susan Powell, vanishes without a trace from her home in West Valley City, Utah, the community is stunned. All eyes turn to Susan’s husband of eight years, Josh, who claims to have no idea where his wife has gone. But Josh’s dismissive nature and odd behaviors throughout the investigation unsettle local police, who suspect he knows more about what really happened to his wife then he is letting on. Now, leading true crime network Investigation Discovery (ID) explores Susan’s harrowing disappearance nine years later in SUSAN POWELL: AN ID MURDER MYSTERY. Premiering Wednesday, December 12 at 9/8c, the two-hour special takes viewers deep inside the investigation of Josh Powell, unraveling a twisted tale of dysfunction, obsession and jealousy with an explosive conclusion that no one saw coming.
