Police named the husband of Susan Powell a "person of interest" in the Utah mom's disappearance today. Joshua Powell has become increasingly uncooperative with investigators in their week-long search for his 28-year-old wife. Police used a court order to demand a blood sample from Powell yesterday, and they have been unable to confirm his alibi—that he took his two young sons to a remote winter camp the night of her disappearance, reports ABC News.
