This week we will be pivoting from our case coverage since this episode is coming out on a holiday week. We will be talking about the legend of the Yule Cat.

The Yule Cat (Jólakötturinn) is a terrifying, giant feline from Icelandic folklore that prowls the countryside at Christmas, eating people who haven't received new clothes before Christmas Eve, serving as a spooky incentive for hard work and finishing knitting. Linked to the mischievous Yule Lads and their ogress mother, Grýla, the Cat ensures diligence in wool production and charity, with wealthier families giving extra socks to protect the poor from its hungry claws. `

The night of June 9 into the early hours of June 10, 1912, placed in Villisca, Iowa, by an unspeakable brutality. In the modest Moore house, six members of the well-liked Moore family—Josiah B. (43), his wife Sarah (39), and their children Herman (11), Mary Katherine (10), Arthur (7), and Paul (5)—along with their two young guests, Ina Mae Stillinger (8) and Lena Gertrude Stillinger (11), lay dead, each skull shattered by the same heavy axe. By dawn, investigators would stand in stunned silence before the scene: eight bodies arranged in their beds, the killer’s weapon still smeared with blood, and every mirror in the home draped in cloth as though to ward off prying eyes or restless spirits.

For seven years, Mike Maddux combed every homeless shelter in Colorado Springs, explored campgrounds throughout Pike National Forest, and watched countless strangers’ faces on the street, all in search of his missing son.

Joshua “Josh” Maddux was born March 9, 1990, to Mike and Roberta Maddux in Woodland Park, Colorado, a town of roughly 8,000 set against the Pike National Forest. Its preserved downtown buildings and surrounding hills made it a nature lover’s haven. Josh, the fourth of five children and the family’s youngest son, was homeschooled until his parents divorced. He then attended public school while living with his father and two older sisters, Kate and Ruth, in a house nestled between town and forest. An avid hiker and wildlife watcher, Josh spent every free moment outdoors.
