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

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.
Sad…but I agree with Cheeks ….body here…soul gone.
As the Bible would say, “THE DEAD KNOW OF NOTHING , THEY DONT THINK, HEAR NOR SEE, and exactly what is he gonna tell his dead son, he dead too.
People in this world over dead folks, them folks is dead, and aint waking up (YET)
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
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.
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.

I totally understand, I wouldn’t want to have to see is grave next to he innocent lives he took but at the same time they are gone and their soul is not present on this Earth. Shoot if his parents are cray enough to have the nerve to do that, they need prayer as well
why do people go to graves and talk to them dead folks,
he said learn not the way of the heathens, 
be back when a new poast comes up and Morning SR Family, Intense, Love, CD Prynxx, sailor, cheeks Cali and all that comes after this post 
@SIS
That’s how I feel.
@Pryn
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

I’m one that goes to grave sites. If my son-in-law killed my daughter and grandsons, no way in Hell would I accept him being buried next to them.
Why you judging ppl cause they wanna see there loved ones graves?
Creamy?
But then, I don’t visit the graves of ones I’ve lost. I don’t see the point. They aren’t really there so why should I be?

not judging OTB I did not write it (your bible saidit) I just ask a question, I dont do it. the bible said why seek the living agmonst the dead,
I just understand that that’s all.
Learn not the ways of heathens…heathens being the pagans right?
Did Pagans start graves and cemetaries?

Is this gone end up like that “Bastard babies go to hell” convo?
My Bible said it, yeah, but I thought it was in ref. to christmas trees, Easter, etc and other pagan born rituals.
I have never related that scripture to gravesites.
Sorry for saying judging. Sometimes that gravesite, gravestone is all some folks have left of their loved ones.
Kudos to them!!!
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!!!!
<—Getting cremated so no one will have to worry about whether or not to visit my grave.

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.
Did yall know that this fool didn’t even live in the house????!!!!
It was abandoned and he used it to make it look like him home, put up pictures and ish

Right.
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.

I sure hope not. Hopefully this conversation stays as a “we agree to disagree” and we all keep it real krewte
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.
“Bastard babies go to hell”
Glad I missed that one!

those are all true as well in the bible their is a place for a house of mourning and a house for prayer, he made that clear, this is why I dont go in house of prayers for funeral,(churchs) but this is my understanding. no offense to anyone. but Ima leave this along, but OTB its in your bible, and it was in the epistles, that reference the scriptures ( scriptures are from genesis up to acts and then you have epistles ( the letters ) pslams. this is all

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.

I never took it as you judging. You judged yourself to me. It is a “to each his own”.
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.
You did see me say sorry for saying judging right @Creamy?
I dont think anyone else directed that at you.

Sh*t…got a damn pap smear appt in 2.5 hrs. I hate coming back to work after that. I always feel soo….violated.
Hello again
Dougie I had mine last week and I got the “clean bill of health” letter & it says that I can begin getting them every 2 yrs instead of every yr. IONO if I wanna wait that long though, I love going (even for that) just because that way I know my cotton candy is healthy.
GET TESTED FOLKS!!!
Veeeeeerrrrrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
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.

My emotions:
then 
then 
then 
cheeks, I usually am talking and having a conversation with the Dr. and just relax and boom it’s over, only takes probably less than 1 1/2 minutes tops. Then the manual real quick, is that what they call it?
yalllllllllllllllll
Jmo, were you one of the ones yesterday talmbout diddy bopping all around the party?
How’s the weather Vero? #itschillyhere :sadface:
LOL I never knew there was an issue of visiting the grave site of your love ones.
As far as the story, I think its more so for the living than the dead. Who wants to visit their love ones and see the grave site of their killer right next to them. That would be almost like having their funerals all together.
Good for the police
Why didn’t he just off himself and leave the kids 
Hi GA
We will never know. So sad…. BUT now them babies are up in Heaven with the Lord, so I can smile about that

I still get uncomfortable when they put those two fingers up there talking about relax…this one that used to work there had this fine italian man taped to the ceiling..
I guess they were cool with it, we all sat on HER side of the church together. WE were
/very angry at my brother. THEY were cool with it. 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.

I can understand why they would want to buy the plots to keep Josh away. When the boys’ family go to visit their graves I doubt they want to be reminded of that horrible day with Josh’s headstone staring them right in the face. I wish them luck.
