WEST JORDAN -- Friends of a missing West Valley City mother are planning a week of service in her honor. They still have hope Susan Powell is alive.
Kiirsi Hellewell, a friend of Susan's, says Feb. 8 through Feb. 15 will be a "Week of Service" in Susan's honor.
Hellewell went to four yarn stores Friday to drop off thousands of fliers, which were donated by some printing shops. The fliers have information about the week of service, and stores will hand them out to customers.
Hellewell says it's is a good way to remember Susan and remind the public that she is still missing.
"We just have to keep hoping," Hellewell says. "I know that her father, Chuck Cox, posted on our Facebook group a couple of days ago: We still believe Susan's alive. We still believe she's out there, and we believe that police are going to find her."
Susan was last seen on Dec. 6 at her home in West Valley City. Police have named Susan's husband, Josh Powell, the only person of interest in this case. But there have been no arrests.
Josh moved to Washington state but came back to Utah last week. Friends and family say he is finishing his basement so he can rent out his house.
Police did a second search of Powell's car and Hellewell says he was shaken up by that.
West Valley police say there is nothing new in the investigation, but they are following up on different leads.
