Deputies released recordings of 911 calls made moments preceding and following the fatal explosion. Among the recordings is a call made by the state case worker assigned to the Powell boys.
"I smell gasoline, but he won't let me in. He's got the kids in the house, and he won't let me in," the case worker said. "I think I need help right away. He's on a very short leash with DSHS, and CPS has been involved. And this is the craziest thing."
"This could be life-threatening. He went to court on Wednesday and he didn't get his kids back and...I'm afraid for their lives," the case worker said.
Powell's own sister, Alina Powell, also called 911.
"I think my brother might be in trouble or something. He's sending weird emails, saying goodbye and stuff,” the sister said. The woman, who sounded very distraught, grew frustrated when she could not provide the dispatcher with her brother’s exact address.
“I don’t know. I just know how to get there,” said the woman, crying.
The recordings were released just hours after authorities revealed they have been investigating the disappearance of Susan Powell as a murder for at least several months, while they publicly left open the possibility that the Utah mother might be found alive.
