Josh (14) was home alone when a neighborhood friend came over to play. Her name was Maddie Clifton (8). Josh and Maddie played baseball, even though Josh wasn't allowed to have friends over when he was home alone. Maddie threw the ball and Josh accidentally hit it into Maddie's eye, causing her to cry and bleed. Josh panicked because he knew his strict dad would be home soon. He took Maddie inside and strangled her for 15 minutes with a phone cord. He put her under the base of his waterbed and his dad came home. He went to talk to his dad and then came back to the room. He lifted up the bed to hear Maddie moaning. Since she wasn't dead, he stabbed her eleven times and killed her.
