Why take the kids out with you?

(CNN) -- Shortly before he set fire to his Puyallup, Washington, house and killed himself and his two sons, Josh Powell -- a suspect in the 2009 disappearance of his wife -- apparently sent a three-word e-mail to his attorney.
It said simply: "I'm sorry. Goodbye."
It was a tragic end to a puzzling case that began two years earlier in West Valley City, Utah, with the disappearance of 28-year-old Susan Cox-Powell and devolved into a bitter custody dispute between Powell and his wife's parents.
Pierce County, Washington, sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer accused Powell of committing murder-suicide, saying Sunday's fire "was done intentionally."

Josh Powell's wife, Susan Powell-Cox, has been missing for more than two years.
"This was all on him," Troyer said. "He set this up. He did it."
The sheriff's department has copies of an e-mail Powell sent to his attorney as well as family and friends that said "he couldn't live with what was going on," Troyer said.
While a medical examiner had yet to definitively identify the bodies, the sheriff's spokesman said "we believe it is the three of them."
"This was something that was done deliberately and intentionally, and the plan was carried out very quickly," he said.
The bodies were all found together in the same room of the home, Troyer said.

What a shame for those kids. If there is a heaven and hell, this guy will get a front row ticket to the barbecue!
