Upside Down: The Final Moments of Joshua Maddux

from Gone in a Blink

How does a 6-foot-tall young man end up in a fetal position inside a chimney, only to have his death ruled an accident? Today we dive deep into the inconsistencies of the Joshua Maddux case. We examine the 'accidental' theory against the unsettling physical evidence: the breakfast bar dragged to block the fireplace from the inside, the bizarre state of Joshua's clothing, and the dark rumors surrounding a local man who reportedly inserted himself into the case. Was this a tragic misadventure, or did a killer hide in plain sight for 7 years?Sources:Joshua Maddux — UnresolvedOwner of home where boy suffered one of worst deaths possible raised major doubt over tragedyMusic:Crime Trap by Muza ProductionLost Soul Medium by Grand_ProjectDark Horror Background by Delo SoundDon't Look Down the Basement by Joel FazhariDark Trap Groove by Anton Vlasovhttp://bit.ly/goneinablink-survey Thank you for helping us by taking our short survey.
