Friends Launch Social Media Blitz In Missing Mom Search

 

SEATTLE —

Friends and family of Susan Powell are launching an Internet media blitz to help police find the Utah mother from Puyallup who disappeared last month.

The family kicked off the social media campaign, which includes Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, blogs and other sites, to try to gather any information they can about her disappearance.

A friend of Susan Powell asked for the public's help on the CBS's The Early Show.

People who e-mail findsusanpowell@gmail.com will receive a response e-mail with instructions on how to send to five friends another e-mail to help find Susan Powell. Those people are then instructed to forward the e-mail again to five other people.

"She is a wonderful, wonderful person with two beautiful boys who need their mother," said Kiirse Hellewell. "We need everyone's help."

Organizers are hoping the media blitz will do something to jump-start the investigation into her disappearance.

Powell, 28, moved from New Mexico to Puyallup when she was 10 years old and graduated from high school there in 2000.

She was reported missing since Dec. 7, when she failed to show up for her stockbroker job in West Valley City, Utah. Josh Powell told police he last saw her that day when he took their two boys, ages 2 and 4, on a camping trip and left her at home.

Police have called Josh Powell a person of interest and said he was not forthcoming in interviews with detectives.

Susan Powell's parents and siblings have said they were saddened that Josh Powell had been named a person of interest, but not surprised.
