    At 12:02 pm local tme, I get this Google account request.

    It was odd, but I had no idea who sent it.

    As I am walking in to Lowes 2 hours later, I get this.

    I call my sister at 2:11pm local tme to see if she got this. She didnt see it. I tell her to get Michael on the phone to get his address and get 911 over there.

    When I hang up, I get this email.

    The mail transcripton is bad, but understandable enough to know something is very wrong. I had no idea that it was close to the tme when his children were visitng. I call harris county 911 at 2:14pm local tme and give them the phone number. I am told fat out that they cant get an address from a phone number. I hang up to try to call other family. At 2:16pm, I get a call from my sister and Michael is conferenced in. He says it is odd and that Josh hasnt been talking about doing anything like this. Michael has his address at home. Alina calls and is added to the conference. She is in tears and worried as hell. I ask her what Joshs address is. She says she only knows how to get there. I tell (yell at) her to hang up, call 911, and lead them over there NOW. She does, and we can only wait. At about 3:40pm local tme, I get pictures of the destroyed house. At about 4pm local tme, my sister calls and says it is on the news and that the boys were in it.

    I have to say that I dont know if Josh is innocent or guilty of anything that happened to Susan. I dont know if Steve is innocent or guilty. I think Joshs fnal actons are the absolute most horrid thing that could ever happen; this is not a result I think any of us antcipated. I think this is not the story. The story is that there was a very positve PR campaign to search for Susan Powell that morphed into a concentrated cyberbullying campaign. We have a justce system that is supposed to put process around

    determining guilt or innocence; cyberbullying follows no process or rules. It is about who is stronger, yells louder, and has more people helping it out. When I realized a cyberbullying campaign is what the Friends and Family of Susan Powell had become, I tried to report it to Facebook. Unfortunately, there is an automated democratc process of determining violatons that appears to be triggered only afer a certain threshold of complaints. Again, cyberbullying is about the strong against the weak. I can tell you that Josh was terrorized. Im sure there are people out there that would consider this appropriate given the mass assumpton of his guilt. We all want to see criminals pay for what they have done, but when evidence lacks for due process to make this happen is this the appropriate method of alternate prosecuton? This reminds me of North Koreas process walk the accused out into a feld and put a bullet in them. The diference here is that everybody spends their tme enjoying the prelude as some form of sick entertainment while postng Bible scriptures to justfy to themselves the reason for which they are fnding so much enjoyment.

    I have already forwarded to you the screen shots of the people making false CPS reports. I will compile a tmeline of other informaton I have about the stalking and bullying. I am perfectly willing to talk to police about this, but I will insist on the press being involved for transparency. We are all outraged at what has happened, both for Joshs really abhorrent fnal act and for the actons of the other people involved. We cant help but wonder if this could have been prevented otherwise.

    Once I determine out how to download the voice mail, I will give it to authorites as well as the press. I do not know which authorites to contact because I dont know if some of them partcipated in the cyberbullying campaign and quite frankly dont have a lot of trust for them.
