Police said the plan to search Powell's home had been in the works for a while -- since before a recent search through abandoned mines in Nevada. A few investigators thoroughly examined a van in the driveway, looking through every CD, flipping through scraps of paper and examining under seats.
Investigators declined to discuss what pieces of evidence they gathered.
"What we have here today will help us draw closer to a conclusion," Merritt said. "Whether it's the conclusion that everybody wants and hopes for, we don't know. It may be a conclusion that nobody wants to admit could happen."
The search came just hours after the case spiraled into an emotional saga pitting one side of Susan Powell's family against the other.
Josh Powell's father, Steve Powell, claimed in a nationally televised interview on Thursday that he had a flirtatious relationship with his daughter-in-law -- something her parents adamantly denied, saying Steve Powell initiated unwanted sexual advances toward her.
Steve Powell told reporters outside the home Friday morning that investigators told him they were looking for Susan Powell's journals -- and they took his journals, as well.
"I didn't want them to have my journals," he told KOMO-TV. "There's very embarrassing things in my journals."

Tough shit Stevie. You didn't mind threatening to publish Susan's teenage journals before LE took them. POS... Knowing him though, he might have put a bunch of false stuff in his journals to disparage Susan and wanted his journals to be found. Why hold onto them? I don't trust the snake.
