TW: mention of suicide

Joshua Vernon Maddux had recently turned 18 years old when he vanished without a trace in May 2008. When he was found more than 7 years later, we were left with more questions than answers due to the bizarre circumstances surrounding his discovery. What really happened to Joshua we may never know. But someone does.  Also, please help locate Eztli Atl Cortez Trujillo.  If you know of their whereabouts or have any information regarding them, please call:

• Salt Lake City Police Department 801-799-3454
