Several employees at the Duces Wild, a strip club in Salt Lake City have reported to the police that Josh Powell was at their club the day of Susan Powell’s disappearance, according to a KSL news report Tuesday morning.

After Susan Powell’s disappearance story was reported on the news, several employees at the strip club recognized Josh Powell and remembered that he was in the club the same day that his wife was reported missing. They reported the information to the police who looked into it, but the police said that they could not confirm it was Josh at the club.

Duces Wild employees said that a man who looked like Josh Powell made sexually explicit comments, made advances on women at the club, and was rude to employees at the club.

Employees of the club claim that Josh Powell was there on December 7 from about 2 – 3:30 pm. The children were not dropped off at daycare that day and family members reported the family missing. Josh returned home with his children between 5-6 pm.

Employees at the club state that a man they’ve identified as Powell came in and ordered two beers and a shot. Employees said that his behavior was so bad in the club that people applauded when he left ninety minutes later.

"Yelling out loud, saying weird things," Rydell Mitchell, the club owner said. "He yelled at one of my customers and said, ‘You don't know what it's like -- you don't have any idea what kind of day I've had,'" KSL reported.

ABC4 reported Tuesday morning that friends and family do not believe that Josh Powell was at the strip club, they don’t believe that it sounds like him at all.
