Maddie Clifton was a sweet young girl who wanted to be friends with everybody. Unfortunately, this was taken advantage of by an older boy, Josh Phillips, who found himself with a murder under his belt and a body under his bed. Kenna takes us through the life of Josh, and how this horrible crime unfolded.
