Anne Bremner, attorney for the parents of Susan Cox
Powell,
has reneged on a claim that a co-worker of the missing
woman’s
father-in-law said he went camping the night of Powell’s
disappearance.
Bremner tells The Salt Lake
Tribune that Steven Powell’s trip might have been
around
Thanksgiving 2009, not Dec. 6, 2009.
Jennifer Silva said in an interview with The Associated
Press on Friday that Powell described having a cold
camping excursion with his son, Josh, and two
grandchildren. Steven Cox Powell said they sat around a
campfire, roasted marshmallows and threw snowballs.
Silva says he never mentioned daughter-in-law Susan Powell
in those conversations.
Silva says she does not recall the specific dates of her
conversations but that Steven Powell talked about going on
the camping trip around Thanksgiving 2009. She saw him
again a week or two later.
Silva has passed along her recollections to Utah
investigators, who told her in February that they were
looking into it.
On Thursday, Bremner had posted to her Twitter
account that Steven Powell went camping with his son,
Josh, and
his grandsons when Susan Cox Powell went missing,
according to the Tribune.
Bremner has since removed that post to Twitter and
replaced it with clarification.
The Washington state Department of Corrections has
confirmed Steven Powell was at work the morning of Dec. 7,
2009, the morning after Susan’s disappearance.
