SALT LAKE CITY — The father of a missing Utah woman said Saturday that he and his wife spent an unhappy Christmas holiday together, though they were able to spend time with their two grandsons.
The father of Susan Powell, Chuck Cox, said he and his wife were with the boys, ages 4 and 2, for several hours on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Both boys were in good health and spirits, Cox said in a posting to a Facebook page dedicated to Powell’s disappearance.
“We went through the motions of Christmas, but it didn’t fill the emptiness,” he said.
Powell, 28, has been missing since Dec. 7. Her husband, Josh Powell, has told police he last saw her at 12:30 a.m. on that day as he left their suburban Salt Lake City home with the two boys for a camping trip. Police consider him to be the sole person of interest in her disappearance.
