IIRC Josh and SP were bragging that they would publish Susan's diaries which would "outline the abuse" that she "supposedly suffered" during her years growing up at home with her parents. WVPD worked in conjunction with Washington LE to get the search warrants for SP's home looking for clues in Susan's disappearace. Once Washington got involved and found Josh's Brother (Schizophrenic?) answering the door naked, the picture of a woman's torso (stabbed?) and the multitude of *advertiser censored* and evidence of voyeurism that SP had in his possession . . . Washington CPS picked up the children. Josh was then held accountable to "ameloriate the issues that brought the children into foster care" - essentially meaning no contact with Grandpa, no access to Grandpa Steve's house, no access to *advertiser censored* or inappropriate behaviors from other family members, etc. CPS is mandated to use the least restrictive alternatives to ensure child safety. Since the whole CPS case in Washington was based upon the threat that SP presented to the children - there was not a significant case against Josh. If Josh moved to another home, kept Grandpa away, and proved he could provide basic needs for the boys - Washington State was hard pressed to keep the children away from Josh - as those issues were no longer a present danger to the kids. The "door knob disclosure" (ie: very last minute mention) of *advertiser censored* on JOsh's computers in Utah was only brought up just prior to the last hearing in Washington - where the train was well down the track toward reunification of Josh with his boys. Making it even harder was the fact the info from Utah LE was nearly 2 years old and Josh could argue it was no longer a presenting danger to his kids.
