A Missing Mother Predicted Her Own Death

Описание: In December 2009, 28-year-old Susan Powell vanished from her home in West Valley City, Utah, leaving behind her purse, her keys, and two young sons whose story raised immediate questions. Her husband claimed he had taken the boys on a late-night winter camping trip during a snowstorm, but the timeline didn’t add up.

Inside the home, detectives found small drops of blood, cleaned carpet, and missing electronics. And inside a secret safety deposit box, they discovered something even more chilling: a handwritten statement from Susan warning that if anything ever happened to her, it might not be an accident. In this episode of Clues, Morgan and Kaelyn break down the evidence, the inconsistencies, and the red flags surrounding the Susan Powell disappearance and examine the devastating chain of events that followed.
