Disturbing Details About The Case Of Joshua Maddux, The Teen Found In A Chimney

Joshua Maddux was an intelligent and talented boy who was beloved by his peers. His sister, Kate, told The Huffington Post that her brother had a high IQ and spent his free time honing his guitar skills or writing stories. He was easygoing, friendly, and had a distinctive style. He used a briefcase, wore a top hat, and kept his hair long. When Maddux went missing, his family thought that it was possible he left town to pursue a career in music.

Two years prior to his disappearance, Joshua's older brother, Zachary, died by suicide at 18 years old. Naturally, the death was devastating to the family. Authorities interviewed family members to check if there was a possibility of suicide as well, but Joshua was said to be in a happy disposition before he went missing, and he had no history of any mental illness (via Criminal).
