SALT LAKE CITY — Steven Powell told a co-worker that he was camping with Josh Powell and his sons the night Susan Cox Powell went missing, Cox family attorney Ann Bremmer said Thursday.
"The witness also said that Steve Powell said he had to come back and help Josh Powell move home, but never mentioned, in the interim, that Susan was missing," Bremmer told KSL News.
If true, the information would provide the first connection between the disappearance of Susan Cox Powell on Dec. 7, 2009 and Steven Powell, whose whereabouts that night has never been determined.
Bremner said the co-worker gave her the information because of frustration with law enforcement authorities, who had known of the exchange with Steven Powell as early as 2010.
"I've said, very publicly, that this is a strong case against Josh Powell [from] a long time ago," Bremmer said. "But, now I'm starting to see that it's a very strong against Steven Powell, too."
Steven Powell is currently in jail in Washington on charges of voyeurism and child pornography. He has never been named as a suspect in the disappearance of Susan Cox Powell but Bremner said the new information could strengthen a case against him.
