TACOMA, Wash. — Steven Powell, the jailed father of Josh Powell and grandfather of Charles and Braden Powell, has been named a person of interest in the disappearance of Susan Cox Powell.
On Sunday, Steven Powell was placed on suicide watch.
Steven has been held at the Pierce County Jail since September 2011 when he was charged with possessing child pornography and videotaping women, including Susan Cox Powell, Josh’s missing wife.
Pierce County deputies said Steven was uncooperative with questions about the explosion and was not overly emotional.
Authorities believe that the explosion was an intentional act of murder-suicide by Josh.
