Joshua Maddux went missing after leaving his home in Woodland Park, Colorado to go for a walk on May 8th, 2008.  He was remained missing for 7 years before he was found deceased in the chimney of an abandoned cabin just two blocks from his home.  The coroner ruled it accidental but odd details come out about the case that make you wonder WHAT THE HECK!  Was Joshua's death a tragic accident on his behalf, or did someone get away with murder?
