Police buy burial plots to block Josh Powell from being buried next to sons

Police buy cemetery plots to block Josh Powell

According to msnbc.com, police and Crime Stoppers in Washington state used their own personal funds to purchase the burial plots on either side of the two sons of Josh Powell to prevent his family from burying him next to them.

“The bottom line is, Josh Powell will not be near those two boys,” Pierce County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ed Troyer said in an interview with a Seattle-area radio program called the Ron and Don Show.

“It’s disgusting that a murder suspect would be buried next to his victims,” Sheriff Paul Pastor said in a statement posted on Twitter.

On Feb. 5, Powell used a hatchet to hack his sons, Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5, to death before setting his rental house on fire, killing himself. A social worker had arrived moments earlier with the children for a court-ordered visit. But the children ran ahead of her into the house, and Powell slammed the door shut behind them.

“He’s a narcissist and he has no love for anyone but himself,” said Kirk Graves, whose wife is Josh Powell’s sister.

Police later discovered Powell did not live at the home he destroyed. He had given authorities the rental house as his address to fool child protective services into believing he had a loving home for the boys.

Powell was a suspect in the 2009 disappearance of his wife, Susan Powell, in West Valley City, Utah. He later moved with his sons to near Tacoma, Wash., to be close to his parents, according to msnbc.com.

Powell’s father, Steve Powell, who many believe knows the location of Susan Powell’s body, is awaiting trial in Pierce County, Wash., on voyeurism and child pornography charges, according to msnbc.com.

Crime Stoppers is soliciting money on its website for the purchase of the two plots.

That would be a disgrace. He should be thrown in the city dump. Even that is too proper.

They could have saved their money. Its not like their souls are in the same resting place. They just used those bodies while they were here on Earth #truebeliever

GOOD! Is there any more doubt that he killed his wife. This KNEW he was gone kill them babies. That house he blew up was a FRONT. No he does not deserve to be buried next to his ex-wife kids. I would say more but I am a Christian.

I 100% but I would not want the grandparents having to view his plot while visiting their grandsons.

This story made me sick on so many levels. I hate how his sister is saying he was the victim. No lady. Your brother killed his wife and then their children. He has taken away from Earth an entire family.

He killed those boys because they were starting to tell people “Mommy was in the truck when we went shopping”. Plus now they’ve found blood in his storage unit.

GOOD for the police His ass should not even be given the decency of a burial chop his ass up, burn all the parts and let some dogs eat his ass as barbecue.

All I will say is The Almighty is a forgiving God. My brother killed his wife AND himself. We had the funes together AND they are buried together (side by side). Does NOT excuse what he did, but thats what happened. IJS
INTENSEMOCHA THE ANTAGONIST

PEOPLE DOUBT THE SICK MIND OF A NARCISSIST ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VICTIM IS A WOMAN, WE BLAME HER FOR CHOOSING THE WRONG MAN

SO NOW THAT INNOCENT CHILDREN ARE THE VICTIMS, MAYBE NOW FOLKS WILL PLACE RESPONSIBILITY AND BLAME WHERE IT LIES-WITH THIS MAN

AND RECOGNIZE THAT NOT ALL NARCISSIST ARE MEN, BUT NARCISSISTIC MEN CAN BE COMPLETELY DELUSIONAL AND INSANE!!! IF THEIR EGO IS BRUISED, SOMEONE WILL PAY & THE SICK PART ABOUT IT, IS THAT THEY COMMIT THE MOST HEINOUS & UNSPEAKABLE ACTS FOR THE SAKE OF REVENGE AGAINST THE PEOPLE THEY VICTIMIZED & SUFFERED BY THEIR HANDS THE MOST

SICK CYCLE~

While I agree in some parts cheeks, this man does not to be buried next to the very CHILDREN he killed. He took a hatchet to their necks to make sure they died. He planned this. He is a cold blooded murderer.

I wouldnt want to visit their graves with Josh the debil next to them. How sad.
lovezoe

That dispatcher pissed me off with basically telling the social worker they had more important calls to make. I am sorry, how big is that town? NOTHING is more important when someone tells you a non-custodial parent refuses to let you have access to the kids. This man should have not been allowed access to his kids supervised or not. Him and his daddy are something else.

Those were innocent children and I have no compassion or sympathy for that man what so ever. What he did is unforgiveable. You kill their mother and then you savagely kill your own children. I have a close family memeber that was taken from our family at the hands of a psychopath and her child was left here without knowning what a beautiful human being her mother truly was. WHAT THAT MAN DID WAS SELFISH PLAIN AND SIMPLE. IMO

They should just dig a hole & dump his body. He doesn’t deserve a funeral or a grave stone

Guys, its the principle of the matter. Would you want a rapist buried next to its victim? This is no different. Him being the parent carries no weight in the matter. I definitely will not want to see his plot if I were the grandparents!!!!

Everyone mourns differently. People sit at home and talk to their deceased loves-they are not talking back there either. They go to church, sit in their car etc. It should not matter if you go the cemetary or wherever if it makes you feel better and feel more connected to your loved one you should do it.

Its like telling a person that cant be there for their own personal comfort.

We have memorials everywhere in America. A man crashed his motorcycle and died at the entrance to my neighborhood. his folkd come there often enough to change it to reflect the season, etc. he even got valentine’s stuff up now.

Ive been there for 3 years so it has to be at least 7 yrs old. This is private property but no one in my neighborhood is concerned with snatching their memories.
caligirl

at Creamy – Yeah I agree the soul is gone and surely his will be in HELL! People visit graves, because they don’t know what else to do. My old boss hangs out in the cemetery with her deceased husband. I drove over there one day to see what she was up to…They had that plot looking like landscapers paradise. Folks do whatever they need to get by.

Ummm…my mom goes to my brothers grave every weekend. Takes a small broom and cleans off his headstone, puts fresh flowers in there and tidies up the area where he lays. She even talks to him a little.

I don’t see nary a thing wrong with it. Some folks grieve in different ways. I used to go and talk to my grandmother in the same cemetary. And I wish a muhfukka would quote a passage as the reason why I shouldn’t.

Cemetaries are for the living and about having a feeling of closeness for me. I never met my dad’s mom who i am the spitting image of. They had a graveside for one of her children and I saw her grave for the first time. Of course i knoew she wasnt there, but her bones were. Her vehicle is there. I was MOVEd beyond reason. And her daughter who has never cared for my mother cried right there with me.

Besides my face. Thats all I have of her.

Mornin’ Everybody

I understand where these people are coming from with their emotions. However, it really doesn’t matter spiritually as the bible points out.

No one can cause any harm from the grave, they are sleeping.

I used to go visit my father’s grave all of the time when he first died. I would talk up a storm at his tombstone, until I came to know the Lord and understood his word and I realized it was pointless. #Sadbuttrue

Honestly though, if it does make a loved one feel better to talk their deceased loved one’s, let them be.

IMO..I do not thk he should be buried next to his boys…same as I wldnt agree if they ever found his wife’s body, that he should be buried next to her. For her parents, family, friends, etc..that kind of grief has to be unbearable..even with the belief in God..believing in God is the only thing that would get me through something like this. If my grieving process was me going to visit my deceased loved one’s grave, talking to the air at the gravesite and reliving memories..hell no I wouldn’t want to see their murderer’s headstone each time. It would bring back the wrong memories..instead of the beautiful ones. Death is very difficult, especially when sudden or violent…everyone has to find a way to cope, otherwise it would drive you insane.

Everybody got along, we came together b/c of a senseless tragedy. My mom and her mom even did a news interview TOGETHER. We held them together b/c they WERE a family. WE were family and we couldn’t be mad at HER family for what HE did and they weren’t mad at US (our family) for what he did. Like I said, we came together for family. I could see if we held them separately and her family didn’t show for his funeral. I wouldn’t feel right if they were held separately and WE (my family) didn’t/couldn’t show up to pay our respects to her. If that makes any sense.
