SEATTLE -- The summer after Susan Powell disappeared, her father said, her young son Braden drew a picture at day care of a van with three people in it and told caregivers it showed his family going camping: "Mommy's in the trunk," the boy said.
That could strike some as a clue. But was young Braden's statement something that investigators could seize on, or just the ramblings of a toddler, who was then just 2?
