The Susan Powell Case Files | Beaches & Airplanes | Bonus Episode 11
Susan Cox Powell disappeared 15 years ago. The day after she turned up missing, her four-year-old son Charlie Powell spoke to a detective from the West Valley City, Utah police department. Charlie told the detective his mommy had joined him, his little brother Braden and their dad, Susan’s husband Josh Powell, on a camping trip. But Charlie also said Susan didn’t come home. She stayed “where the crystals are.” In this special bonus episode, we explore what Charlie was trying to tell us about Susan’s fate. We also speak with forensic interview specialist Brianna Martinez about how the approach to interviewing kids has changed over the last 15 years.
For years, investigative reporter Dave Cawley has been studying thousands of police documents, journals, videos and diary entries.

Ten years before Sheree Warren disappeared, another young mother vanished from her workplace in the suburbs of Ogden, Utah. Nancy Perry Baird’s case shares many similarities with Sheree Warren’s. Both were young mothers, recently divorced, working to support themselves. Police in both cases theorized a serial killer might be responsible. To this day, many of Nancy Baird's own relatives believe Ted Bundy abducted and killed her; a claim Bundy denied. COLD has obtained exclusive access to the Nancy Baird case files. In this bonus episode of COLD season 3, journalist and host Dave Cawley uncovers new evidence that illuminates Ted Bundy’s role in Nancy’s disappearance.
