Synopsis

The premiere of the latest season, which will focus on the Susan Powell case, will be spread out into two back-to-back episodes. 

According to the synopsis of the first episode released by CNN, "Susan Powell, a 28-year-old mother of two, goes missing in December of 2009. Her husband Josh claims to have taken their two young sons winter camping in the Utah desert and says he returned the next day to find her gone. Questioned by detectives, he doesn’t behave like a concerned husband and his version of events doesn’t match his son’s. The mystery about where Susan’s is deepens as more details about her marriage to Josh and their life behind closed doors emerge. Susan’s family and friends do everything they can to find her while Josh insists that she ran out on him and their two little boys. The search for Susan Powell plays out on a national stage with everyone wondering: did she run off? Was she taken? Is Susan Powell dead or alive?"

The synopsis of the second episode read: "Authorities search for missing mother of two, Susan Powell, in every nook and cranny of the desert in Western Utah while her friends and family wait for a break in the case. Her husband Josh is named a person of interest as suspicion about his involvement in her disappearance grows. He and his father wage a counter-attack and a war between Susan and Josh’s families erupts in the glare of the public spotlight. Shocking revelations about Josh and his family come to light…evidence of violence, obsession and sexual perversion. The family drama leads up to a shocking and unimaginable conclusion."
