A solid, if somewhat pedestrian, overview of a case involving psychological abuse, sexual obsession, and murder

If you've already listened to Dave Crawley's exhaustive podcast, Cold, you'll find very little of interest in Disappearance (except for the presence of one, admittedly important, interviewee who didn't respond to Cawley's invitations for an interview). Going in the other direction though, if you know very little about the case, Disappearance is a very decent overview and introduction and should tell you whether or not you're interested enough before facing the more daunting deep dive of the podcast. It's got some noticeable aesthetic problems and makes a few rather ridiculous claims, but it's comprehensive, clear, and inclusive. And, just like Cold, it ultimately comes to focus on the years-in-the-making tragedy of Susan Powell and the fact that not all domestic abuse leaves bruises.
