Summary

18 year old Joshua Maddux disappeared after going for a walk in Woodland Park, Colorado in 2008. Despite searches for him, he seemingly vanished into thin air and his case went cold. But 7 years later, in an abandoned cabin just a mile away from Josh’s home, a set of partially mummified remains were found lodged in the chimney. Josh’s death was technically ruled an accident, but nothing makes sense in the case and there are still questions to this day.

Colorado, which is a small town about 20 miles west of Colorado Springs. It has a population

of just about 8,000 people. So small town, it's surrounded by the Pike National Forest. It's

like beautiful picturesque views, beautiful sites, people visit there
