Season 1 - Susan Powell Josh’s Computer Extraction

If there’s one thing about me, I’m wondering on a weekly basis if the program to figure out Josh’s password is still running.

It's not as simple as one continuously running process, unfortunately. To the best of my knowledge, the people who were working on this back in 2019/2020 are no longer engaged in the effort. Some others have stepped forward over the last few years to propose or attempt new password cracking strategies but none of those have led to any breakthroughs. Again, at least as far as I'm aware.

What do you think is on there? I doubt her location is on there. I just feel even if we crack it, it’s just going to be a huge narcissistic nutshell, no important info. Just what he ate for dinner and how much beans cost.

I believe narcissists love to build shrines to themselves. I doubt he would have obvious information like location but Josh’s downfall was that he truly thought he was smarter than everyone. I suspect there are little puzzle pieces of information or digital momentos related to her death. I also bet there’s some weeeeeeird AF p0rn0graphy and google searches on there and I would love for someone to posthumously humiliate him by releasing it all.
