When she overheard him asking the children about the money, he [[SlashedThroat slits her throat]] as she was laying in bed, dumps her body into the river, and makes up a story to cover for it.

* MoralEventHorizon: If Powell didn't cross it when he murdered Willa in cold blood, dumped her body in a river and made up a story to cover for it, he most certainly did when he [[WouldHurtAChild threatens to murder John in front of Pearl]]. You could argue that while he was a nasty and horrible person to begin with, threatening to murder a child just for stolen money shows just how much of a monster Powell is.
