Joshua was the subject matter of an episode of "Evil Lives Here", an American documentary tv series on Investigation Discovery (ID) that highlights true crimes and often features interviews with family members, police footage and family photos. His episode "Let Her Rot" was the second episode of Season 5 (2019) which tells the story of how his mother Stephanie convinced Joshua's sister, Guenevere Hudnall, to kill Joshua's father (William Hudnall) with an axe so that they could receive government benefits. The family needed money as their mobile home was under foreclosure. On June 9th 2011 Stephanie Hudnall drove with Guenevere Hudnall to her estranged husband's home in Hawthorne Florida. When William Hudnall was asleep Guenevere took a pickax and struck her father in both the head and chest until he died. Both Guenevere and Stephanie were caught and found guilty then convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 40 years in prison. During the episode Joshua shared his beliefs that he thought his mother Stephanie Hudnall convinced his sister to commit the crime. He shared that she was manipulative throughout their childhood. Joshua visited both his mother and sister in jail to find out why they did it, but he was never successful understanding the motive besides needing the money. Joshua died of liver failure and was discovered in his truck shortly after the episode was taped. See Note from producer Tracy Ullman about Joshua's death. As was apparent from the episode, Joshua did a stellar job dealing with his hardships during life. This veteran spoke openly about what happened to him and how he tried to process the events from his rather hard life. His openness acts as inspiration for all of us that struggle with hardship. Thank you for your service Joshua.
