SEATTLE, Wa - The first 9-1-1 calls before Sundays explosion where Josh Powell killed himself and his two sons were released.
The 9-1-1 calls include the case worker who just dropped off Powell's sons. He locked her out of the house and took the two boys. She immediately called 9-1-1.
You notice a sense of panic building by the social worker. She senses trouble, but can't seem to convince the dispatcher.
Autopsies show Powell and his sons died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The little boys also had hatchet wounds on their bodies.
Josh Powell was a suspect in the 2009 disappearance of his wife Susan Cox Powell. Her family says they may never know what happened to her now.
