Not much is known about Maddie's personality, her wants and dreams, and that's because her life was tragically cut short by 14-year-old Josh Phillips, who brutally murdered Maddie when she was only 8 years old. When Maddie innocently wanted to play baseball with Josh, she couldn't have any idea that this would lead to Josh savagely beating and stabbing Maddie to death. Savannah details the gruesome events, how Maddie's body was discovered by Josh's mother, and why Josh might actually be released from prison in the future.
