Husband Of Missing Utah Mom Susan Powell Not Getting Kids Back

Josh Powell's lack of cooperation with police 'leads the state to believe that he is responsible for her disappearance'

TACOMA, Wash. — The husband of a missing Utah woman is temporarily losing the right to care for his children after officials questioned Wednesday whether he is responsible for his wife's disappearance.

Judge Kathryn Nelson said there is reasonable cause to believe the two boys cannot be safely returned to the home of Josh Powell, so she ordered that the kids will temporarily stay with Susan Powell's parents, Chuck and Judy Cox. Josh Powell will have visitation rights.
