Join us as we dive into one of Colorado’s most haunting mysteries: the death of Joshua Maddux in Woodland Park.
In 2008, 18-year-old Josh walked out of his house for what should have been a normal walk and never came home. For seven years, his family searched for answers while holding onto hope that he was still out there somewhere.
Then, in 2015, Josh’s remains were discovered in the chimney of an abandoned cabin less than a mile from his home.
Authorities ruled his death an accident, but the bizarre details surrounding the scene sparked countless questions and theories that still divide people to this day. From strange evidence inside the cabin to rumors that were never fully investigated, this case only gets more unsettling the deeper you look.
Was Joshua Maddux’s death truly a tragic accident… or was something else going on in Woodland Park?
