likely due to

hypothermia however the circumstances
2:04
raised many
2:06
questions the cabin's owner Chuck Murphy
2:09
disputed the coroner's findings he had
2:11
installed rebar at the top of the
2:13
chimney years earlier to prevent animals
2:15
from entering Murphy believed it was
2:17
impossible for Joshua to have entered
2:19
the chimney from the roof additionally
2:21
Joshua's clothes were found neatly
2:23
folded inside the cabin and there were
2:26
signs that someone had tried to block
2:27
off the fireplace

this case remains a mystery with many
2:32
unanswered questions was Joshua's death
2:34
truly an accident or was Foul Play

involved as we unravel the details let's
2:40
remember Joshua maddu and hope that one
2:43
day the truth will come to
2:45
light thank you for watching if you

thoughts in the

comments Joshua MADD duck an 18-year-old
2:56
from Woodland Park Colorado was last
2:58
seen on May 8th 2008 when he told his
3:01
sister he was going for a walk Joshua
3:04
was well known for his Musical and
3:06
literary talents and his disappearance
3:08
left family and friends
3:10
puzzled despite being well-liked and
3:12
having no apparent issues Joshua never
3:15
returned home and the case eventually
3:17
went
3:18
cold 7 years later on August 12th
3:22
2015 the mystery took a grim turn during
3:26
the demolition of an old cabin just a
3:28
mile from Joshua's home workers
3:30
discovered a body in the chimney dental
3:32
records confirmed it was
3:34
Joshua the autopsy revealed no signs of
3:37
drugs broken bones or external injuries
3:40
and the coroner ruled the death
3:42
accidental likely due to
3:45
hypothermia however questions remained
3:48
the cabin's owner Chuck Murphy had
3:50
installed rebar at the top of the
3:51
chimney to keep animals out making it
3:54
seemingly impossible for Joshua to have
3:56
entered from above additionally Joshua's
3:59
clothes were found neatly folded inside
4:01
the cabin and there were indications
4:03
that someone had tried to block off the
4:06
fireplace the circumstances of Joshua's
4:09
death continue to raise suspicions was
4:11
it truly an accident or was Foul Play
4:13
involved while theories abound the truth
4:16
remains Elusive and the case of Joshua
4:18
maddu remains an unsolved
4:21
mystery when examining the case of
4:23
Joshua maddu it's chilling to consider
4:26
that while Google Maps captured Street
4:28
images in 2012 his body lay hidden just
4:31
beyond the chimney wall autopsy results
4:34
showed no drugs broken bones bullet
4:37
wounds or knife wounds leading the
4:38
coroner to rule his death accidental
4:41
likely from hypothermia after falling
4:43
down the chimney this conclusion
4:45
suggested Joshua an adventurous young
4:48
man may have tried to enter the cabin
4:50
via the chimney only to become trapped
4:52
and succumb to the
4:54
cold however several details cast doubt
4:57
on this Theory Chuck Murphy the cabin
5:00
owner had installed rebar at the top of
5:02
the chimney years before Joshua's
5:04
disappearance to prevent animals from
5:06
entering Murphy an experienced
5:09
construction professional insisted it
5:11
was impossible for Joshua to have
5:13
entered the chimney from above due to
5:14
this
5:16
barrier furthermore Joshua's body
5:18
position and the condition of his legs
5:20
suggested he did not die from
5:22
compressive asphyxia which would
5:24
typically result from being trapped with
5:25
legs above the chest instead his legs
5:28
were downward making this type of
5:30
asfixia less
5:32
likely more puzzling was the discovery
5:34
of Joshua's clothes neatly folded inside
5:37
the cabin indicating he had been inside
5:39
before entering the chimney Additionally
5:42
the fireplace had been partially blocked
5:44
off further complicating the scenario of
5:46
an accidental
5:48
death these inconsistencies raise
5:50
significant questions did Joshua
5:52
voluntarily crawl into the chimney or
5:54
was there Foul Play involved the lack of
5:57
conclusive evidence leaves the true
5:59
cause of of Joshua madd's tragic end a
6:01
haunting
6:02
mystery when Joshua maddux's body was
6:05
discovered it was found wearing only a
6:07
thermal shirt with no other clothes
6:09
socks or shoes his clothes were neatly
6:12
folded inside the cabin suggesting he
6:15
had been there before entering the
6:17
chimney Additionally the breakfast bar
6:19
in the kitchen had been ripped away and
6:21
placed next to the fireplace possibly to
6:23
conceal Joshua or block him from being
6:25
found despite these peculiar details the
6:28
case was initially an
6:30
accident to consider Joshua's death as
6:33
accidental one would have to believe he
6:35
entered the cabin removed all his
6:37
clothes except for his shirt folded them
6:40
neatly and then climbed the chimney head
6:42
first this seems highly
6:45
improbable therefore two other
6:47
possibilities arise either Joshua
6:49
willingly entered the chimney himself
6:51
which seems unlikely or he was murdered
6:53
and his body was placed
6:55
there during the investigation the
6:58
coroner mentioned several phone calls
7:00
suggesting possible suspects in Joshua's
7:02
death one tip mentioned someone saying I
7:05
put Josh in a hole though this was
7:07
initially
7:08
ignored years later a person on Reddit
7:11
revealed that they had gone to high
7:12
school with a person named Andy who
7:14
matched the description of Andrew
7:16
Richard Newman Andy was known to be
7:18
involved in various criminal activities
7:21
including
7:22
murder despite these leads the case
7:25
remains unsolved leaving many questions
7:27
about what truly happened to Joshua mad
7:30
duck the last known interaction
7:32
involving Andy and Joshua raises
7:34
intriguing
7:35
questions Andy whose real name is Andrew
7:38
Richard Newman was a student at the same
7:40
high school as Joshua maddu in Woodland
7:42
Park
7:44
Colorado both shared a passion for music
7:46
and were of similar age suggesting they
7:49
might have been friends or at least
7:52
acquaintances in May 2009 Andy traveled
7:54
to New Mexico where he befriended a man
7:57
named James willo at a bar wio who cared
8:01
for a disabled individual offered Andy a
8:03
place to stay tragically after wio
8:07
returned from a shower he found his
8:09
disabled friend stabbed to death in his
8:10
wheelchair and Andy had
8:13
disappeared the following month in Texas
8:16
Andy was found trespassing with two
8:18
Miners and was taken to the police
8:20
station his fingerprints matched those
8:22
at the New Mexico murder scene and he
8:24
admitted to another killing in TOS New
8:27
Mexico though this case was not pursued
8:29
due du to an existing
8:31
suspect Andy's whereabouts over the
8:33
years remained uncertain partly because
8:35
he spent significant time in prison he
8:38
faced multiple charges including
8:40
assaulting a police officer in Utah in
8:42
2012 and trespassing in Florida in
8:45
2015 his criminal activities continued
8:48
leading to his arrest in Texas in 2018
8:51
for assaulting police
8:53
officers while these details are
8:55
disturbing they do not directly link
8:57
Andy to Joshua's death however given
9:00
Andy's violent history and connection to
9:02
Joshua some speculate that he might be
9:05
involved the mystery deepens with Andy's
9:07
ongoing criminal Behavior making it
9:10
challenging to pinpoint his actions
9:11
during Joshua's
9:13
disappearance the unresolved questions
9:15
surrounding Joshua madd's case leave a
9:17
haunting sense of
9:19
uncertainty Andrew Richard Newman who
9:22
was involved in the assault of three
9:24
police officers in Texas was later
9:26
charged with burglary of an unoccupied
9:28
structure in Florida Florida and fled as
9:30
a
9:30
fugitive at the time this video was made
9:33
he was incarcerated in Brazos County
9:35
Texas where he made headlines in March
9:37
2019 for assaulting A detention
9:41
officer so what do I think happened to
9:43
Joshua maddu on May 8th 2008 Joshua left
9:48
his house telling his sister he was
9:49
going for a walk and would be back later
9:52
it seems he intended to return home that
9:54
day however either by force or
9:57
voluntarily he entered the cabin on
9:59
metal L Lane while in the cabin Joshua
10:02
met a tragic end possibly at the hands
10:04
of another
10:06
individual test showed no bullet or
10:08
knife wounds and no marks on his skin
10:10
but asphixiation such as being trapped
10:13
in a chimney could not be ruled out the
10:16
lack of clothes suggests possible sexual
10:18
activity either voluntary or
10:21
involuntary after his death Joshua's
10:24
body was likely forced into the chimney
10:25
through the
10:27
fireplace the breakfast bar was then
10:29
removed from the kitchen wall and placed
10:31
in front of the fireplace possibly to
10:33
block the smell and prevent
10:35
Discovery Joshua went missing in 2008
10:38
shortly after allegedly knowing Andrew
10:40
Newman Newman soon moved away and began
10:43
accumulating charges for trespassing
10:45
assault and potentially even murder
10:48
given Newman's criminal history it's not
10:50
a stretch to consider his involvement in
10:52
Joshua's
10:54
death unfortunately due to the
10:56
seven-year gap before Joshua's body was
10:58
found and the subsequent demolition of
11:00
the crime scene along with his body
11:02
being cremated it's unlikely we will
11:04
ever know the exact details of what
11:07
happened while we can speculate about
11:09
the connections between Andrew and
11:10
Joshua there is no concrete evidence to
11:13
confirm these theories this case remains
11:15
a mystery and we can only hope that one
11:18
day someone will come forward with new
11:21
information until then the fate of
11:23
Joshua maddu remains
11:26
unknown it's possible that Andrew Newman
11:28
could have been in evolved back in 2008
11:31
but due to his elusive lifestyle and the
11:33
lack of concrete evidence the police
11:35
were never able to pinpoint his
11:36
whereabouts during Joshua maddux's
11:38
initial
11:39
disappearance with the crime scene aging
11:41
seven years before Joshua's body was
11:43
found followed by the demolition of the
11:46
cabin and The Cremation of his remains
11:48
it's very unlikely will'll ever uncover
11:50
the exact details of what happened to
11:51
Joshua
11:52
maddu while we can theorize about the
11:55
connections between Andrew and Joshua
11:57
none of this is substantiated by solid
11:59
evidence unfortunately this case will
12:02
probably remain an unsolved mystery we
12:04
can only hope that one day someone will
12:06
come forward with new
12:08
