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

Joshua's clothes were found neatly

folded inside the cabin and there were

signs that someone had tried to block

off the fireplace

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
