🔎 Disappearance After Lottery Win

- Weeks before he vanished, he reportedly won $1 million on a lottery scratch ticket.
- Family and community members fear the win may be connected to his disappearance, although authorities have not publicly confirmed any motive.
🧩 What Happened at the RV
- Joshua used some of the lottery money to buy an RV, which was parked on family property.
- When relatives checked on him the next day, blood was found inside the trailer, but Joshua was gone.
- RCMP confirmed his DNA matched the blood found in the RV, but they have not publicly disclosed whether foul play is confirmed.
