Episode 17
Saturday, 16 May, 2026
Dates: March 2010, Day’s 85-115The 2009 Investigation into the Disappearance of Susan Cox PowellI’m joined by a new co-host as we break down a critical point in the investigation where tips, interviews, and behavior begin aligning into a clearer narrative. As outside efforts to organize a desert search emerge, we explain why timing and control of a scene matter in protecting evidence. Meanwhile, witness statements consistently describe a pattern of control, isolation, and emotional abuse, while Susan is remembered as positive, engaged, and quietly trying to navigate a difficult marriage. From unsettling “jokes” to repeated observations of behavior, this episode focuses on one truth investigators learn quickly—patterns don’t lie, but people often ignore them.Visit ellismaxwell.com
