Utah police Are Planning A Second Interview Monday With The Husband of Missing Woman



Just yesterday I read Susan's father's Chuck Cox said, "I'm kind of concerned that all the focus is on him at the present. I mean he’s told his story - believable or not - and I don’t see him as capable of harming her,and the more time spent on him, the less time there is looking at other possibilities.”

So you might ask yourself why does the father want the focus off of Josh. Does he reallybelieve that Josh does not play a part in what happened? Does Susan's father really belive that Josh is incapable of hurting his daughter?

I believe at some level, Mr. Cox wants to believe that his daughter is OK. He wants to believe she will be coming home to those who love her. To admit to himself or even out loud that perhaps Josh is capable of hurting Susan is tantamount to believing that there is a real possibility that Josh did just that.

Hope causes us to blind ourselves to possibilities that what we want so desperately do not want to believe. My heart aches for Susan's father because I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your child. I too would love to believe that this was all a terrible misunderstanding. I think one of the most difficult thing about a missing child is that you are always waiting for the phone to ring. Unfortunately the odds against such an occurance happen hope springs eternal.

Recently the West Valley City Forensic's were at the house for two days removing a lot of objects, small and very large. Obviously they don't see this case as ending well. Notice the father still speaks of his daughter in the present tense.

Not surprisingly, husband Josh, has lawyered up. He has retained the services of attorney Scott Williams. In case his attorney's name sounds familiar it should be. His recent clients include Wanda Barzee, who has pleaded guilty in the 2002 kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart.

Many of her family members and friends were fasting, and praying for her return. I hope their prayers will be answered soon. In the meantime if you have any information on this case please contact the West Valley City Police at (801) 840-4000.
