1. Disappearance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, 18-year-old Joshua Maddux left home in Woodland Park, Colorado,for a walk and never came back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His family searched everywhere, but no trace of him appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Discovery Years Later<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, workers demolishing an old cabin found human remains in its chimney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental records confirmed it was Joshua. His father said, \u201cI about had a heart attack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Conflicting Explanations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities initially considered the death accidental, but the cabin\u2019s owner disagreed, saying,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way that guy crawled inside that chimney with that steel webbing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coroner later admitted, \u201cThis one really taxed our brains,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and changed the ruling to accidental, homicide, or undetermined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. An Unsolved Mystery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rumors and tips never led to answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even years later, the family and cabin owner believe the truth may never be known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one reflection put it, \u201cI think it will remain a mystery.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
