About Colorado Crime Podcast

Welcome to Colorado Crime, where two best friends turned “partners in crime” dig into the darkest stories from Colorado and beyond. We bring you deep dives into true crime cases — from haunting unsolved mysteries to the infamous and the overlooked — all told with empathy, curiosity, and a dash of humor to keep things human. Every episode blends solid research, thoughtful storytelling, and the kind of banter that only comes from years of friendship (and maybe a few too many late-night coffee runs). At the heart of every story are the victims — their lives, their voices, and the justice they deserve. So grab your headphones and join us as we explore the darker side of the Rockies… one case at a time. The crimes that we discuss are graphic and may be difficult for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised. Interested in supporting us?: https://coloradocrimepod.castos.com/donate Like hanging out with us every week? Be sure to subscribe, rate, share, and review.

Episode 52– PART 4: Susan Powell- Aftermath, Accountability, and Legacy

In the final part of this series, we examine what happened after the deaths of Charlie and Braden Powell — and the long, painful aftermath that followed. This episode explores the investigations, legal consequences, and lasting impact of Susan Powell’s disappearance and the murders of her sons. We discuss how responsibility was examined, how systems responded, and how the ripple effects of this case extended far beyond one family. Part Four covers:     •    The immediate aftermath of February 5, 2012     •    Investigations into child welfare and court system failures     •    Life insurance rulings and why Josh Powell could not benefit     •    The role of Josh’s family, including those who spoke out and those who did not     •    The death of Josh Powell’s brother, Michael, and the broader toll of the case     •    What happened to Josh’s father, Steven Powell     •    Why Susan Powell has never been found — and what law enforcement believes happened     •    The legacy of this case and what it reveals about prevention, proof, and protection This is not a story about closure. It is a story about consequence — and about the people who were lost when warnings were recognized, but not stopped. ⸻ ⚠️ Content Warning This episode contains discussion of domestic abuse, child endangerment, homicide, and suicide. No graphic details are included. Listener discretion is advised.

Episode 51 – PART 3: Susan, Charlie and Braden Powell

In Part Three of this series, we examine what happened after Susan Powell disappeared — and how concern for her children quickly became central to the case. As investigators increasingly believed that Susan Powell was the victim of homicide, attention turned to the safety of her sons, Charlie and Braden. This episode explores why Josh Powell lost custody, what authorities discovered inside the home where the boys were living, and how documented warning signs shaped — and failed to prevent — what came next. Part Three covers: * Why Josh Powell moved the boys to Washington after Susan disappeared * Evidence found in the Powell home that raised serious child safety concerns * What was discovered on computers inside the home * Why Josh lost custody of his sons * How and why supervised visitation was later reinstated * The limitations of family court and child welfare systems * How risk was recognized — but managed instead of eliminated THIS EPISODE FOCUSES ON THE SPACE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND ACTION — AND HOW SYSTEMS DESIGNED TO PROTECT CHILDREN CAN FAIL EVEN WHEN DANGER IS ACKNOWLEDGED. ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING This episode contains discussion of domestic abuse, coercive control, and suspected homicide.

Episode 50 – PART 2: Susan Powell- From Missing to Murdered

The Disappearance of Susan Powell: What Happened That Night In Part Two of this series, we move from who Susan Powell was to what happened after she vanished — and why investigators quickly believed she did not leave voluntarily. This episode examines the night Susan disappeared, the immediate aftermath, and the mounting evidence that led police to believe she was the victim of homicide. We walk through Josh Powell’s actions, the condition of the Powell home, and the growing concerns shared by friends, family, and law enforcement. Part Two covers: * The last confirmed day Susan was seen * Why she was reported missing by a friend — not her husband * Josh Powell’s behavior before and after Susan vanished * Evidence of cleanup inside the Powell home * What was found during searches of the Powell home * Early investigative conclusions and why police believed Susan was murdered * Initial searches for Susan and why none were successful Susan Powell has never been found. But the evidence left behind tells a troubling story. ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING This episode contains discussion of domestic abuse, coercive control, and suspected homicide. No graphic details are included.

Episode 49 – PART 1: Susan Powell- "If I die it may not be an accident"

WHO WAS SUSAN POWELL? Before Susan Powell became a headline, she was a mother, a woman of deep faith, and someone who was trying to protect her children while living in fear. In Part One of this series, we focus on who Susan was as a person — not just what happened to her. We talk about her upbringing, her faith, her devotion to her sons, and the private fears she documented before she vanished in December 2009. This episode explores: * Susan’s personality, values, and faith * Her writings and emails expressing fear * Early warning signs within her marriage * The day she was last seen * Why friends and family immediately believed she did not leave voluntarily Susan Powell is still missing. And before we examine evidence, failures, and outcomes — we start with her life. TRIGGER WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS DISCUSSION OF DOMESTIC ABUSE, COERCIVE CONTROL, AND A MISSING PERSON. NO GRAPHIC DETAILS ARE INCLUDED. DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses a real person who is missing and may be disturbing for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
