"The Wrap Sheet: Susan Powell — Box Fans, Family Secrets, and the 807-Mile Lie"

In this Wrap Sheet deep dive, Steve takes the Susan Powell story and rips away the last layer of lies. From the absurd midnight “camping trip” to the creep show diaries of Steven Powell, this episode puts the Powell family dysfunction under a microscope. Expect wit, sharp takes, and hard truths—but also reverence for Susan, Charlie, and Braden, who deserved so much better.

We’ll dig into:

  • The infamous box fans blowing on a suspiciously wet couch
  • Why fresh snow became nature’s lie detector
  • The 807 unexplained miles that scream cover-up
  • Steven Powell’s obsession and Michael’s shady car dump
  • The tragedy of Charlie and Braden, and the catastrophic system failures that enabled Josh’s final act

And then—next week’s teaser: The Circleville Letters. Poison-pen notes, a booby-trapped gun, and a mystery that makes you wonder just how many hands were behind the curtain.

About the Podcast

Heists, Hustles, and Homicide
True Crime Stories
Welcome to Heists, Hustles, and Homicide — the true crime podcast where brains, betrayal, and blood all share the same spotlight.
I'm Big Steve your host, and each week, I’ll take you into the minds of the boldest criminals, the slickest con artists, and the darkest murderers history has to offer.
Some of these stories you’ve heard whispers of.
Some have been buried.
And some? They were never supposed to be uncovered at all.
We’ll crack open legendary heists that rewrote the rules…
We’ll follow the hustlers who schemed their way into the high life…
And we’ll revisit chilling homicides that still haunt investigators — and victims’ families — decades later.
But this isn’t just about crime.
It’s about people.
What drives someone to pull off the perfect con — or the perfect murder?
Is it desperation? Greed? Ego? Revenge?
Each episode, we’ll unravel one real-life case — beginning to end.
Some episodes will play out like thrillers.
Others will feel like puzzles missing a single, crucial piece.
And in every one, we’ll ask the same question:
How far would you go?
So whether you're into high-stakes break-ins, twisted lies, or unsolved crimes that keep you up at night — welcome.
You’ve found your new obsession.
This is Heists, Hustles, and Homicide.
Make sure to follow the show, and buckle up — episode one drops next week”.
Trust me, you won’t want to miss it.
