Joshua Allen Dufort
He moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2006 to pursue an acting career and comic improvisation.
His family says he was always happy and smiling.
Josh's uncle, Jeff Jones said
"He was always trying to cheer people up and never burdened people with his problems.
He made even the oddball kids feel wanted, even though he worked out and ran.
He was friends with the geeks and he was friends with the jocks; that type of kid."
He was known for Astro Zombies: M3 - Cloned (2010) and Possibly Talented (2011)
In his spare time, Josh liked to do medieval fighting reenactment and started a chapter in Las Vegas.
He was also an actor in a few different shows, including "Rehab," which was put on at the Hard Rock Cafe.
He also worked for a landscaping business while in Nevada.
Josh liked to work out and was going to try ultimate fighting, but he didn't dare do it because you can't model and act because your face is all beat up.
He met a girl that worked at the local bakery shop, her name was Shannon Lutz.
They fell in love and moved in together.
He also made other friends, one of them was a lightweight champion boxer named Don Juan Petrelli.
Don acted as Josh's mentor.
November 7th, 2010, Don text Josh and asked him to come over, work out and talk about a t-shirt business they were talking about starting.
Josh decided to jog over to Don's house.
He told Shannon goodbye, kissed her and left.
She never saw him alive again.
In the morning she gets a call from police asking her if she knows a phone number they recite to her on the phone.
It turns out it is Josh's number.
The police inform Shannon that the number is involved in a missing person's case, not wanting to tell Shannon yet the horrible truth.
Josh's lifeless body had been discovered that morning dumped at the side of the road, beaten and strangled.
Don came over and talked to Shannon and Josh's family.
They said Don was acting strange.
He played them messages he had gotten from Josh on the night he was murdered.
On the way to Don's, Josh left him a terrifying voicemail.
There were three messages of Josh saying that these guys were there, that they were following him and he didn't know what to do.
He was frantic and saying that Don needed to come get him right now.
Detectives retrace Don's last steps and talk to his friends.
They find out that Josh had not one, but two life insurance policies.
Together Josh was insured for 1.75 million dollars.
The beneficiary of these policies was Don.
The two insurance companies deny Don's for the pay outs.
One company took him to federal court and he counter sued.
What was revealed in court papers and the application was Don and Josh were listed as domestic partners.
Whomever filed the claims stated that Josh made over $180,000 a year from the t-shirt company that Josh and Don co-owned.
His girlfriend said that he only made $16,000 a year.
And his friends stated that he didn't live like he made $180,000 a year.
A audio interview with the insurance company didn't sound like Josh.
Whomever it was was also seeming to have problems giving basic information about Josh.
Investigators soon learn that the voice in the audio interview is Don's brother.
Don's brother breaks down and confesses that Don asked him to pose as Josh.
Don and his brother never get charged with insurance fraud, because they didn't collect any money.
Neither one of them was charged in Josh's murder either.
Josh's case remains unsolved.....
