Thoughts? I'm going to take a chance and assume Powers is still at large as of this posting date (May 29th, 2020) since the above article is from only a few weeks ago and I only see misdemeanor or other charges in Virginia's online court case records and no murder charges. Of course, as always, if anyone ever has any updates/proof-of-updates, they are more than welcome to let us know.
