In the weeks and months after his wife disappeared from their West Valley City home, Josh Powell made few public statements about his whereabouts that night and what might have happened to Susan. These comments by Josh Powell and his father Steve Powell, compiled from various media interviews by Salt Lake Tribune reporter Brooke Adams, directly addressed those topics. (Some questions posed by media are paraphrased.)
Editor’s note: The following is part of a collection of information available at The Salt Lake Tribune’s newly created “Where is Susan?” page: www.sltrib.com/findsusan.

"I just miss her. I love her. My boys love her. A lot of people love her. She’s just wonderful. All I can ask is that anyone who can, just help us try to find her. I’m just trying to do that."
Q. Any clue where she is?
"I don’t even have a clue."
[Turning to enter his home] "I’ve got to go get my boys.

• Chris Jones of KUTV Channel 2 interviewed Josh Powell outside his West Valley City, Utah, home on Dec. 18, 2009:
Q. How are you doing. I know this has been difficult for you. What’s been going through your mind today?
"Well, I’ve been trying to figure out what I can do, so I don’t sit idle. Dealing with this [media interviews] repeatedly. I was just going to go in and get my kids."
Q. How are the boys doing?
"They’ve been doing good, as far as I can tell."
Q. How about you?
"People have been really helpful and supportive, so it’s been really hard, but you just have to keep going."
Q. What can you tell us about that night?
"A lot of times, I just go camping with my boys — not anything big, I just go overnight and we do ‘smores and stuff like that. And so I just went with the boys. I was planning to do some ‘smores in the morning. And never did. And then when we got home — well, on the way home I found out that people were worried about us and people were missing."
Q. Was it unusual for you to not call into work?
"No, it’s not usual. You know, I was somehow thinking that it was Sunday. I didn’t go to church. And I just missed a day. Drove to come back Sunday."
