Today's case is brought to you by Ashleigh. This is the murder of Maddie Clifton. On November 3, 1998, Josh Phillips, 14 years old, murdered Maddie Clifton, 8 years old, and shoved her corpse under his waterbed in his home, sleeping on top of her body for a week before his mother found her and reported it to police. When Maddie Clifton disappeared, the entire neighborhood came together, desperately looking for her, all while she was right across the street. This case has been widely covered and we encourage you to go listen to more about Maddie Clifton.
