Silent Motive Ep. 7: "If I die, it may not be an accident" - Susan Powell's story

In December 2009, Susan Powell — a devoted mother and wife — vanished from her Utah home without a trace. What began as a missing person’s case quickly spiraled into something darker: a husband’s bizarre alibi, a father-in-law’s twisted obsession, and a tragedy that no one saw coming.

In this episode, Silent Motive dives deep into the Powell family’s tangled secrets — from Susan’s haunting final journal entry to the investigation that would uncover lies, control, and the unthinkable.
