'We think it’s a likely spot to find her’: Private group plans to search an abandoned Utah mine for remains of Susan Powell

A private search team plans to re-examine an abandoned mine shaft in Utah’s West Desert over the next month with the hope of finally finding the remains of Susan Cox Powell, a young mother who disappeared nine years ago.

“It appears to not have been completely searched before,” said Karra Porter, the co-founder of the Utah Cold Case Coalition, which is arranging the search. “We think it’s a likely spot to find her.”

The search will be done by a company donating its time and which the coalition is not publicly naming at this time.
