After he stopped responding to texts and calls, Josh drove to the facility demanding answers from staff who initially stalled. Her relentless calls for help finally brought emergency crews, fire trucks, police, and an ambulance to the scene. Josh was forced to endure a harrowing three-hour wait outside before rescuers pride open the towering machinery confirming her worst fears and revealing Ackers mangled remains entangled inside.
