IT'S JUST SUCH A HANIOUS
CRIME YOU KNOW, I HAVE A HARD
TIME PEOPLE OUT THERE EXIST LIKE

AMY WHAT HAPPENED THAT MARCH DAY
: IN THE WOODSTOCK NEIGBHORHOOD,
HAS LEFT HIM WITH HAUNTING
I DON'T EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE
HERE IT -- PEOPLE.
AMY AT THE TIME, JOSHUA'S HOME
: WAS HIS HAVEN.
AFTER YEARS DOING LANDSCAPE AND
MAINTANCE WORK FOR OTHERS, HE
WAS FINALLY MAKING PROGRESS ON
HIS OWN HOUSE.
LIFE WAS GOOD.
WORKING ON MY HOME FIXING IT UP
.
AMY: MARCH 11, 2018, HE WAS
GETTING READY FOR A BBQ, WHEN HE
HEARD FRANTIC KNOCKING AT THE
DOOR.
IT WAS LIKE.
LIKE YOU KNOW IT KEPT GOING ON
GOING.
AMY HE OPENED THE DOOR.

I SAW A WOMAN CRYING WITH
MASCARA RUNNING DOWN HER FACE
AND SHE WAS FRANTIC.
AND SHE WAS SAYING HELP, I NEED
HELP I NEED TO COME IN.
,AMY THE WOMAN CLAIMED SHE WAS
: TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM HER
ABUSIVE BOYFRIEND.
AND SHE STARTS HITTING ME IN
THE FACE LIKE JUST STARTS
, PUNCHING ME AND COMPLETELY
THREW ME OFF.
AMY AS HE TRIED TO PUSH HER
: OUTSIDE, TWO MEN ALSO SHOWED
UP AND STARTED ATTACKING JOSHUA.
IT WAS PRETTY MUCH FIGHT FOR
MY LIFE AND THEN THEY KNOCKED ME
OUT.
AMY HE WAS IN AND OUT OF
: CONSCIOUSNESS, AS THE 3
SUSPECTS RANSACKED HIS HOME.
THEY ZIPTIED MY HANDS BEHIND
MY BACK.
AMY AT ONE POINT, HE WOKE UP TO
: THE BARREL OF HIS OWN SHOTGUN
POINTED AT HIS HEAD.
BEFORE HE PULLED THE TRIGGER
MY LIFE JUST LIKE FLASHED MY
WHOLE CHILDHOOD MY JUST
EVERYTHING.
AMY IT WAS EMPTY, SO THE SUSPECT
: BEAT JOSHUA WITH THE GUN, AS
THE TWO OTHERS CONTINUED TO TEAR
APART HIS HOME.
I HEARD HER DOWNSTAIRS IN THE
BASEMENT WHERE THE SAFE WAS THAT
I FOUND IT, I FOUND IT.
AND THE SAFE ACTUALLY CAME
WITH THE HOUSE BEHIND A MIRROR
IN THE BATHROOM AND IT DOESN'T
LOCK.
WHICH I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY
HAD IT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE
, I SHOULD HAVE HAD IT IN THE
BANK WHERE IT BELONGED.
AMY HE HAD $92,000 IN THE SAFE,
: MONEY HE SAVED OVER 20 YEARS.
HE BELIEVES WHOEVER'S BEHIND THE
ATTACK KNEW THE MONEY WAS THERE.
WHEN JOSHUA CAME TO AGAIN, THE
HOUSE WAS QUIET.
COVERED IN BLOOD HE STUMBLED TO
THE FRONT PORCH.
JUST LIKE HELP, HELP, PLEASE
, SOMEBODY HELP.
AMY HE SAYS A YOUNG KID FINALLY
: STOPPED.
AND HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO
GET HELP AND THEN THE NEXT THING
I KNOW A POLICE OFFICER GRABBED
ME BY THE SHOULD AND LIFTED ME
UP AND SAID I'M HERE, I'M HERE.
AMY HE WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL
: TO THOSE WHO HELPED HIM, FROM
THE GOOD SAMARITAN TO POLICE AND
DOCTORS, AND FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
SO THAT LIFTS ME BACK UP WITH
SOCIETY.
AMY BUT THE CASE REMAINS

EVERYTHING I HAD FROM WHAT
HAPPENED LOSING MY FINANCIAL
INCOME AND HAVING TO SELL MY
HOME HAS BEEN REALLY TOUGH.

: REBUILD.

IN A KITCHEN DISHWASHING.
AMY AND HOPING A TIP TO POLICE
: WILL LEAD TO JUSTICE.
SOMEBODY LIKE THAT WALKING
AROUND THE STREETS I THINK THOSE
PEOPLE NEED SOME HELP FOR WHAT
THEY DID.
