Taken from wikipedia, seems like the creepy father in law might know a bit about what happened, but he's pleaded the 5th.

Susan Cox Powell was last seen on December 6, 2009. She is an American woman from West Valley City, Utah whose disappearance has garnered national press attention, and police investigation is ongoing as of 2012 primarily as a missing persons rather than a murder case. Significant public scrutiny focused on her husband, Josh Powell, who was considered a person of interest. Although there was considerable suspicion and circumstantial evidence, and Josh was largely uncooperative in answering questions from law enforcement, Josh was never named as a suspect nor charged with a crime in the investigation.
Josh's father Steven Powell was very close to Josh and, according to his journal, had a sexual obsession with Susan.[1] He has been confirmed privately to be a person of interest, though he has never been formally named nor charged in connection with Susan's case.[2] Steven was seen with Josh hiking in the Topaz mountains three months before the disappearance.[3] Phone records show he conversed with Josh shortly before Susan disappeared. Steven then called in sick two days after Susan went missing after telling a witness he was planning to go camping with Josh and his young children. This coincided with Josh Powell driving a rented car over 800 miles.[4]
In late 2011 Josh lost custody of the couple's two young children shortly after Steven, who was living with Josh and the children, was arrested on voyeurism and child pornography charges. During a supervised visit with his children on February 5, 2012, Josh locked out the social worker, took a hatchet to his children, and killed himself and his children by setting his home on fire, using gasoline as an accelerant. Susan Powell is still legally a missing person as the case is not closed, but especially since the fire, she has been widely presumed dead at the hands of her husband.[5]
