The article "Blast Kills Husband of Missing Utah Woman, 2 Boys", from the Associated Press is written by Gene Johnson and Mike Baker on February 5,2012 at 5:20 P.M. Days after a judge ruled against josh Powell custody for his two kids, he took the kids into the house and blew it up. The social worker who dropped off the kids smelled gas and called the police, but the house had already blown up. Ed Troyer,Pierce County sheriff's spokesman, concluded that Powell had planned the whole thing because of all the emails he had sent to the authorities. Jeffery Basset represented Powell in the custody case, and had received an email from Powell a few minutes before saying, "I'm sorry, goodbye."
I found this article very disturbing. I do not like the idea of a parent killing his kids. He took away their lives. The kids did not have the chance to have experiences. He is already considered a murderer, but he did not kill any random person, yet his two boys. I hope no family has to go through is agonizing story.
Hi Gareen. The first time that I heard this story was on the radio today. I got excited and surprised when I saw that you picked this article. I like the way you presented the material. You gave facts and then, at the end you gave your opinion. I loved the format and choice of words. Overall, great post.

In the last sentence you made a mistake and wrote "is agonizing story" instead of "this agonizing story." I am glad to be of assistance.
