Episode 84: Joshua Wayne Crawford

On July 2, 2003, Terry Horman answered the door to hear the news no parent ever wants to hear. Authorities informed Terry that her son Joshua Crawford was found deceased. Upon hearing the news, Terry collapsed. After Josh didn’t show up for work, concerned friends went to his first story Frederick, Maryland apartment. After knocking, no one answered. One of Joshua’s friends climbed in through a window. His apartment was ransacked and his video games, a guitar, jewelry, and other personal belongings were gone.

Josh was found deceased. Someone had brutally murdered him. He had been bound with duct tape, beaten and stabbed to death. An autopsy later ruled Josh died of asphyxiation and blunt force injuries.

Terry reached out to a private investigator named Sam Hannah, who is a retired police chief and homicide detective. For this story, I managed to speak to him and get his thoughts on Josh’s homicide. His website is https://rpo-investigations-llc.business.site/
