The images of Josh Powell’s burned out home have been flashed all around the globe, and now Breaking Celebrity News has learned a shocking revelation about the house where he attacked his two children with a hatchet before setting it on fire.
The home that Powell committed the horrific murder-suicide on February 5 was really just a sham to show the authorities, reported the Tacoma News Tribune, and he did not even live there or keep his belongings at the residence.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, the father of two from Puyallup, Washington, had been law enforcement's only "person of interest" in the December 2009 disappearance of his wife Susan. He claimed she'd gone missing from their home in Utah while he was off on a middle-of-the night camping trip with their sons, Charlie 7, and Braden, 5.
At a public meeting for local residents on Monday to help them cope with the disaster in their backyard, Pierce County sheriff’s detectives Gary Sanders and Sgt. Denny Wood told the 50 residents that they could ask anything they wanted.
The question and answer session resulted in it being revealed that Powell had rented the house on a cul-de-sac in Graham after police found child pornography in his father, Steven Powell
