The story of Joshua Maddux’s death is nothing short of bizarre. He is often referred to as “the boy in the chimney” due to the circumstances of his passing. 18-year-old Josh would go missing from his home in 2008 after saying he was going for a walk. Seven years would pass and there would be no sightings of Joshua and no real indication of what may have happened to him.
Then, a horrific discovery would be made when the owner of a nearby cabin smelled something foul coming from his chimney. Joshua’s body would be discovered wearing only a shirt, with the rest of his clothing found neatly folded in another area of the cabin. Investigators had no idea how he had gotten into the chimney - if he had climbed in by his own free will, was forced in or thrown in later. His death was ruled an accident. But there are several factors, including a strange Reddit post, that would lead many to believe Joshua’s death was a murder. To this day, there is no clear indication of how Joshua died in the chimney of that cabin.
