In this Wrap Sheet deep dive, Steve takes the Susan Powell story and rips away the last layer of lies. From the absurd midnight “camping trip” to the creep show diaries of Steven Powell, this episode puts the Powell family dysfunction under a microscope. Expect wit, sharp takes, and hard truths—but also reverence for Susan, Charlie, and Braden, who deserved so much better.

We’ll dig into:

  • The infamous box fans blowing on a suspiciously wet couch
  • Why fresh snow became nature’s lie detector
  • The 807 unexplained miles that scream cover-up
  • Steven Powell’s obsession and Michael’s shady car dump
  • The tragedy of Charlie and Braden, and the catastrophic system failures that enabled Josh’s final act

And then—next week’s teaser: The Circleville Letters. Poison-pen notes, a booby-trapped gun, and a mystery that makes you wonder just how many hands were behind the curtain.
