The fact that the mother had a real bedroom plus a real bedroom (#4) for the jerk when he visited, yet Madi slept in a makeshift bedroom shows how little regard the mother felt toward her daughter. So vile
There was 4 bedrooms. That makes 2 left unused... And she STILL had her daughter in the living room. She absolutely knew and turned a blind eye at best, participated at worst.
The #4 is likely coz the house was previously a sharehouse & the makeshift bedroom could’ve already been made into a bedroom before they moved there. Not meaning it to take away from all the horrible decisions Jen made but that’s how I see it atm
It could be that Madeline tried to make it more difficult or problematic for Stern to access her by sleeping in a common area . Stern is the one who said to officers Madeline's incredibly stupid mother "directed him" and he's a liar . I think her mother is a sandwich short of a lunchbox at the very least , but it does seem as if he did have plenty of time alone with Madeline , and Madelines mother could well have been ignorant of what was happening.
@@samporter2146 I've never heard the saying, "a sandwich short of a lunchbox" lol😅 Jennifer Soto has bipolar disorder & ADHD. Idk If Jennifer knew about the SA. But she knew Maddie was unalived. Because she was lying for Stephan.⚖️😥
I was with my wife since her daughter was 8. I would take a bullet for my step daughter but sleeping in the same bed would not have ever occurred to me. Sick beyond belief.
This is what I'm saying. No normal, healthy adult man would feel comfortable with it. I think even a biological father would protest having to sleep in his tweens bed, even if "directed to" by his wife and certainly wouldn't choose to if there was another space available, like a couch. Ffs. Where in the America is this normal behavior?
I can't help but reverse the situation, imagine if you will, a single dad with a tween son, that he directs his girlfriend to share a bed with..... Come on people this is the most disgusting thing ever. She quite obviously was at the very least enabling this predator.
@@DebbieMustardduring hurricane Katrina my dad and brother and I evacuated. Hotels were sold out and most of the time we slept in our car but when we got a hotel room it was one with only one bed. My dad would sleep on the floor and give us the bed. That’s a real father. Knowing he had to spend 12 hours in evacuation traffic the very next day after spending two days sleeping in our car. I never forget that
Decades ago my daughter was kidnapped by an unknown person from the internet. I refused to leave our house in hopes she’d call (no cell phones then) or return home. Jenn’s behavior for leaving the school because she was “holding up” the parent line is complete BS! 🤬
I am so sorry that your daughter has not been found. I am actually not sure what the right words are for this. I am sorry you experienced such a shocking loss. Praying for your daughter.
I am sorry you had to and still are going through something so horrible words can't express how much my heart hurts for u and any mother dealing with such.
Wow, I can’t imagine being able to function under those conditions, thank you for sharing and I hope the memories you have of your daughter are a blessing for you.
Please do NOT give Jenn immunity to testify against Stephan. I am getting tired of people getting off when there is more than enough evidence to convict everyone.
Literally the first thing her mother should have done at the school was go inside. Go to the main office, ask if maybe she was still with a teacher, etc. I think most of us would have done that.
Jennifer Soto did go into a school building. They did an overhead announcement for Maddie. Then 2-3 hours later?? Jennifer Soto's sister called 911 to report Maddie missing.
“She needed to get some rest so she directed them to sleep upstairs” is the way it was explained to the officers. The possible sad truth is that this was an arrangement the couple had every time this monster wanted to abuse the child, it was possibly a way to retain Stephen in the relationship. Of course the mother knew all along what was happening!! She’s just as bad as him. An animal would protect its baby better than Jen. Good Lord!!
No the police understood that. That is why they are including specifics and terms and nighttime meds he said she had taken before showering. They are more familiar with predatory behavior than any of us. Usually they keep any opinions out of their docs, but this is so outlandish of Jen even that they are including a lot of hints in their official reports.
@@Genevieve-ni5el Your opinion is respectable but either way, no matter how you look at the case, Jen was involved and complicit in some way, shape or form. She knows what happened, lied purposely and deserves to be charged. With what? I’m not a lawyer but complicit in the cover up she definitely is and it’s an easy way out just to assume she’s another victim bc she has ADD, suffers from depression, etc, etc. That’s not a valid excuse IMO.
This is personal for me, my son’s girlfriend mom used her as a meal ticket, her Dad died when she was 11 and the mom moved in this jerk who s/a her for years and mom ok about it and was mad when her daughter told about it at school. I know of friend who married a pedo, adopted 3 kids and he s/a them all. I want this women held accountable,when you put your kid knowingly in harms way, it needs to be a crime. 🤬🤬
Such sad stories. And we need to talk more about women that enable this behaviour. I hear this more and more from survivors. It's incredible the denial people have so they don't have to be single. Awful
You are AMAZING! And this mom should be charged for something! Telling them to go sleep upstairs in the guest room so she could sleep in!!! This mother KNEW what was going on!
31:16 yea it’s so wrong that her mum was telling them to sleep in sane room. After Madeline had been rid of him for a full month. It puts a new spin on it, that perhaps Madeline during that month off (from continual SAs) wasn’t prepared to go back to that situation and fought back. That break in combination with turning 13 and possibly realising just how badly she was being treated, perhaps indicating she was going to tell others. So he, or they (him and Jen), decided to murder her. So sorry for young Madeline. 💔
Perhaps the rooms had numbers because of former roommates?? As a mother, I find it near impossible that Jen had NO CLUE of what was happening to this precious child, Maddie. 💔.
I have never in my life heard of any place unless it’s like one of those really old houses that got 10-20 rooms that’s an b&b. Never heard of putting numbers on the door for roommates. And originally there was Jen ,Maddie, her Jen’s dad and one roommate living there that can’t be that hard to figure out whose room is who. I think it has reference to stage 4. It used to be that adult films were made on stage four because it was typically a stage built in Hollywood that would be used for creating stunts that were louder, shooting scenes or scenes where pyrotechnics are used, and they were soundproofed a lot heavier and adult film crews would rent those stages to make adult films. now I don’t know if these two idiots would know that or not. I just find it very interesting that something that used to be a Hollywood term just so happens to be what’s on the door of the room with a tripod sex lotion where the child is videoed being abused. All right just could be that they’re so dumb. They don’t know which bedroom to go into.
@@Thepublicaccount🤯🤯 holy moly those implications are astounding. I agree, the number on the door is so weird, feels like a hotel and that's pretty inappropriate with a child in the house. But this stage door thing!! I had no idea. Gives us something to really think about. That may be a tidbit I'd email Gisela about, honestly.
@@DebbieMustard and the thing is people always well if you’re selling that type of stuff and have a bunch of money why not have new cars or have this most people trade it all for drugs and an exchange to have access to other children because sometimes they get bored with the child they have.
Omg, Stephan is the most hideous, disgusting excuses for a human and Jen is right behind him! How selfish of her to care more bout her sleep than worry about a man that s not the child's father sharing a bed with her. I need to go watch the Muppets or something innocent so I don't have nightmares! I coul Denver been able to watch or listen to this alone. You are the best!
There's no way Jen didn't know. Did you give Maddie a bath? Wash her clothes? Have your damn eyes open at all to your child's welfare? I'm over the I didn't know Bs. Over it.
And honestly, I know in some cultures it's okay, but at the rate of SA and incets in this country, I would strongly reconsider letting *any* father sleep with their daughter on the regular. Sorry, but I don't know of any normal, well adjusted grown men who go into their daughters room to sleep, biological or not. Obviously I'm talking about homes with multiple bedrooms. If anyone is sharing a bed it should be the siblings, or the mom with the kids. I generally would err on the side of caution on this.
This breaks my heart. R.I.P. little girl.There will be justice. Praying for all little ones who have been robbed of their childhood through acts of disgusting perversion, savagery and brutality.
Why am I just realizing mom was there most of the morning? I could have sworn the news reported she was at work. Ugh I hate the pair of them. Excellent video ma'am,, appreciate you❤
@Dragon-yg3pm she was little he could have walked her out over night while folks slept and kept her covered till he drove away. I hope the both get the DP.
Thank you for covering all these documents so we get the info without having to read 800 plus pages ourselves. You make it a lot more bearable too to listen to than other creators because you get straight to it and stick to facts when covering cases. It’s much appreciated!
He can’t help but reveal himself! He literally says: We had time to kill. TIME TO KILL! Used tranquillisers (likely on Maddie) Maddie was a “good girl” when she did what he forced her to do. She didn’t have her phone - as he probably removed it so she could not be located via it. This Stephan is the worst type of predator. 🤬
My eyes fill with tears as I watch the montage of this angel. Thank you for keeping her spirit alive and for covering her story. We all will be there to make sure the devil Stephan Sterns will be held accountable and also her mother, Jennifer Soto, who handed her child over to this devil! Shame on them.
I never needed help from any adult for a "night routine" when i was 13 years old! That is insane & extra creepy. I think sorry excuse for a "mom" needs to do some serious prison time. She was suppose to protect her daughter & love her unconditionally. That sick woman only cared about herself just like her pervert boyfriend. Poor Maddie...that angel deserved the best in life & she ended up with the worst.
Call her whatever you want, but please don't call her a mother! Such a great work, Gisela, as always!!!!!!! There's No RUclipsr like you!!!!!! Greetings from Austria❤
Maddy suffered greatly @ the hands of Sterns and her mother as well for not protecting her own child!!! I don’t believe in the death penalty,however I would make an exception for Sterns. He began violating Maddy @ the age of 8!!! Sterns is PoS!!
Small detail. Former embalmer. It's extremely difficult to dress someone after they have passed. Even someone her size. I always needed help. Jeans are particularly difficult. I think two people had to dress her. Poor child. ♥️
That’s why I think Jen got so mad when in the body cam footage he said she’s wearing black or blue pants and Jen started no she’s wearing shorts. I saw her in the shorts then the next interview, she didn’t see her because she just heard her.
The biggest thing I am hung up on is how Jen said she saw her daughter at 8 am getting dressed when according to police, her belongings were already trashed. This is weird to me.
Ignorance is no excuse. Jenn is responsible for the suffering endured by Madeline and deserves a life in prison for exploiting her daughter and directing her boyfriend to a secluded room in which to commit his abuses. Aggravated child endangerment and neglect that led to Madeline’s death. Jenn deserves no mercy.
💯 agree. Making her little girl sleep with her bf in a separate bedroom so she could sleep better should be a charge all on its own!! Gross negligence.
Agreed, I tried giving her the benefit of the doubt longer than most (that I know of) and it is clear that cannot be possible anymore. Even if she didn't participate in the murder she had to discuss something with Stephan in order to attempt getting their stories straight. If Jenn is lying or covering for him that means Madeline meant nothing to her. Jenns actions show who is more important to her.
After hearing all of this I cannot imagine that Jenn won't be charged. How could she have her daughter sleeping with her boyfriend, I do not think she is innocent in all of this.
@@ITZCHELSEA2244 Sorry if I have a heart but the thought of that child covered in flies brought me to tears 😭. I am one of the strongest women on the planet . Having a soft spot for a murdered child isn’t called being too sensitive it’s called being human you should try it . Imbecile comment
@@ITZCHELSEA2244you think people are over sensitive to be sad thinking about a deceased child laying out in the elements and flies being on them? I really hope you are on someone's radar you seem a little demented.
@@tinazaccagna1459 I guess idk I don't feel so sad she could have been a bully like the girls at my school the girls who make me want to self delete I don't know the girl so I don't feel sad about her being gone
I think he unalived her just a couple hours after her b day party,she hadn't seen him for a month or so,I think she said no more. Poor child.i hope he has a violent rest of he life,living in fear.
No because her body wouldn’t be limp the next morning when she was in his car. Rigor would have already set in about 2 hours after death. He had to have killed her the next morning.
Omg... Video of him putting her body into the trunk ON SURVEILLANCE! Bet they showed that to Jenn to see her reaction.. and bc Jenn should have to see that!
Have a cup of chamomile tea and hug your cats. We are with you as we struggle through this horrific document together and seek full justice for Maddie. Thank you for your strength.
I literally watch hours and hours of interrogation videos every week, but I never like just listening to a person talk or read transcripts. I must say you are different, you make it feel like we are watching what we are reading. You have gained a new fan .
I worked at that holiday inn club vacations office. One building is the corporate office (3 floors-adjacent north of the parking garage) and the other is the contact center (2 floors-parallel west of the parking garage). The parking garage is only 3 levels and completely detached from the building. No one goes up to that last floor where Stefan was seen on surveillance moving Maddy. You’d more likely find a parking spot closer and in between the building and the garage. I find it crazy though that people are just inside working and that no one would even know a crazy man was outside moving a dead body on the top floor of the garage. People were definitely there too because in the corp building where I worked, everyone usually arrived to work between 8-9am so by 10am, most people are there and at their desk. Plus it was on a Monday?! I’m also shocked that no one saw this; there’s security all around the two buildings-I’d say at least 3 guards on duty 24/7. But if it was on surveillance, they probably got a good amount of footage on him being the amount of cameras everywhere…including the parking garage.
I'm just confused that nobody was watching the security cameras. I mean, they definitely aren't expecting anything crazy like this to happen, but maybe since everyone had just gotten to work, they were doing other things. Idk.
I love listening to you tell this story. You’re as disgusted as we are and say so out loud. You give the info with just enough humor (dark too!) for us to take it all in without falling apart completely. Brilliant- well done
I just caught the tail end of your live presentation. What an incredibly horrified little life Madeline had! Thank you for your excellent reading of these horrible documents. I am going to replay it all now... if I can handle those details
Sterns has been accused of sex crimes from what was on his phone. I guarantee there were MANY times that Maddie was assaulted that was NOT filmed. All those “snuggles” he🤮referred to in bed together - those weren’t all filmed. They’ve got him on the phone photos and videos - but there was far more. That child was tortured and I personally think she indicated she was done - so Sterns had to shut her up
You G are a true G in this true crime arena, they are good ones but you my friend are on top of your game and even some of " the best " can't touch ypu. All love
"She sang for me" "She was a good girl" "She was loved" This is the creepiest part if you ask me because as a man these things strike me as a little bit to poetic and as such "romantic" and bragadocious. I genuinley think he is talkinf that way to get off on how he abused her and is taking satisfaction from all but admitting it to authorities and as such society on the whole. It just triggers my intuition.
I so appreciate your deep dive into the documents. This is the first I’ve heard in various crime channels that they had found the tire that Sterns had thrown into a dumpster that tied him to the tire tracks near where he had dumped Madeline’s poor body. You are wonderful!!! ❤
She was so worried about her new job and training she FAILED at the role of the most important job as a MOTHER to Madeline. JENNIFER SOTO YOU FAILED YOUR DAUGHTER. THAT WAS YOUR JOB AND YOU FAILED.
I, too, cannot stand the details of this case. They’re literally heartbreaking and just a bitter pill to swallow, especially understanding that what we’re reading and hearing about was Madeline’s life. From 8-12, this was her daily, regular life.. Madeline, I am so sorry 🫶 We can’t make it right, but we will get justice and God will take care of the rest 💔
I can’t imagine what the family members have gone through finding out what was going on with this beautiful young girl,,,, how could they possibly care what happens to Jen after finding out all of this 😢
I would say by the way they were all acting. The majority of that family knew exactly what was going on everything that people described about her stated this child was being abused, and how a school counselor was so dumb that they didn’t realize that her symptoms were not ADHD and anxiety that they were PTSD because of sexual assault is beyond me and they should be fired.
@@beanj580 one of the big things was that she was doing well when she stopped taking her medication without them knowing it. Another big sign that the counselor and the teacher should have caught the medication that she would be taking would be calming her down, which means she should’ve been getting restful sleep and she wasn’t. She was falling asleep in the classroom she was showing the type of mood swings and behaviors that abused children show, I forget exactly what the one child said I believe they said that she would slap them and then say that’s how she showed affection. There’s a big friggin clue people saw that the stepfather that isn’t even her real stepfather was constantly messaging her. That’s another big clue most children do not just get ADHD out of the blue, everything being read in these documents including her sitting they’re telling her counselor the guy is weird. He creeps me out. They didn’t follow up to find out more information. They just said oh why and as soon as she said, a couple of answers instead of focusing on that more they just blew it off because guess what Jen did the perfect thing and got her diagnosed as ADHD so they would never question anything, it’s also very widely known that most parents that know about abuse in the home one of the first things they do is get their children diagnosed and they will medicate them because then they can say well. They have a mental health history, anxiety, bipolar, and ADHD. apparently, the reports have been read so far she showed signs of having PTSD from a sexual assault or some form of intimate abuse. School counselors at deal with children all day every day and these cases constantly happen should be more in the no and doctors need to start being held responsible for giving these kids medicine and diagnosing them with something just because the parent says so. Her diagnosis was nothing more than a cover one so they could control her more and they probably were stealing her medicine.
The photo of her as a little girl with her head in her hands gets me every time. You never look at a sweet little one and think they are going to suffer something so horrible 💔
❤😢My heart breaks for precious Maddie and what she was forced to endure! JUSTICE FOR MADDIE 😢! She's finally in a safe place full of joy and love ❤....
I have so much love and respect for you, G. This is difficult for all of us, and I wouldn’t want to go through this stuff without you and the community here. Take care of your mental health. Much love, Jeanne, Seattle WA.
Why would Madeleine's friends be there too early to hang out? Which kids ever even get to school on time, let alone hang out well before school time. Also who plans a special meal at some 7 in the morning?
Specially men they’re usually in a rush. If it would’ve been mom and daughter bonding but even that wouldn’t be possible on a weekday when it’s school day. For me it was obvious from the beginning he looked like a creep and was acting very unusual. He’s body language was fake.
These are middle school age kids. They do get there early and/or hang out around the area of the school after hours, especially when her school didn’t start til after 9am. Lots of kids that age get dropped off as parents are on their way to work.
There is no excuse for Jen allowing them to sleep in the same room. Imo Jen was so self absorbed in her “anxiety” she would literally do anything to be left alone and sleep. I also think there is a huge possibility he drugged both Madeline and Jen. One thing i disagree with is how people are making such a big deal about the idea of kids her age getting dropped off an hour earlier than school starts. When my kids were in middle school, many got dropped off as parents were on their way to work, therefore early. And Madisons school didn’t start until after 9am. Also many kids in my town are dropped off down the street bc the traffic in front of the school is horrendous. And after school tons of kids walk and hangout at the Starbucks about a block away waiting to get picked up. Imo there are so many disgusting, horrendous, perverted things about this case that these issues are not a big deal. Although they were all lies, since sadly that day Madison never even made it out of her so called home alive.
I am a School Bus Driver, School Starts at 8 a.m. and As Bus Drivers We Cannot Drop off Our Students untill After 7:30 a.m. So None of My Students Even Want to Be at School BEFORE They Have to Be, much less an Hour Before School Starts.😮
Thank you G. Kudos also for the great documentation of this investigation. Probably why some investigations are lazy…. They don’t want to do the paperwork. Great job on this one! There will be justice. Rip poor Maddie. 🙏.
I am so heartbroken that they lived in a FOUR bedroom condo, and poor Maddie did not even have a bedroom. What the hell? JS did not care about Maddie!!!!
I think the whole world got that vibe from him which makes it even more suspicious that the mother didn't. She'd have to have a negative IQ to not see what an absolute creep he is.
His behavior was very weird from the start, agree! The „tears“, his voice tone and the way he spoke of Madeline 😱🤮 But they both were odd. Jen to me seemed more overwhelmed and kind of helpless at first but more and more like she didn‘t care much about M. Not at the party, no photo for police, she was searching her phone for like 5min or so until she finally could give them a pic of HER missing daughter😳 Very unusual these days. It‘s not like she never took pics of anything/anyone, she seemed to have a lot of photos on her phone, she just couldn‘t find one of her daughter instantly!? All these little but telling details. Something was not ok between mother and daughter aside from the creep bf! Poor Madeline! Probably made it easy for SS to groom her when she missed the daughter/mother bond, was looking for love and understanding. Makes me soooo sick and angry how this creepy disturbed man took advantage of innocent Madeline to use her like a dam*d s*xtoy🤬🤬🤬😭😢 Why are there so many of these creeps?!? I really want to know! What‘s wrong w them????? To go after little kids, it‘s such an evil thing to do… And I‘m hesitant using the word evil but what else is it to s abuse a child?!
When I heard about the tire I couldn't help but think it was karma screaming out and thankfully Madeline was found. Heartbreaking for her father and his wife. Jennifer Soto is a monster she had no idea where her young beautiful daughter was the whole time this was happening to Maddie she was sleeping in the house? Vile woman didn't care enough to even ask about her party? I can't even imagine how she couldn't have been aware and how she could be so absent from her life. I have lived with my teenage child and I would never completely rest until they were in bed asleep I just couldn't rest because teenagers are always in danger just the age of a teenager you have to keep an eye on them constantly. It's such a scary time for parents I just can't believe she wouldn't care enough to.. it's just not excusable he has to spend time doing that it's insane where the H#!! Was the mother? How could she not protect her? Had to be hours he spent with Maddie and her mother could sleep through that?
I worked at the post office and it kept me on shifts from 7:30 am to 9 PM or even later! It wasn’t everyday, but it was often enough that I was never caught up on rest. I worked a rotating schedule, 6 day week, 5 day week broken up and last week 3 day weekend. I honestly was always losing track of things. One night my daughter didn’t get off the last bus at six and I almost lost my mind. ThenI realized that night was a track meet. I almost broke down that day. Luckily, i didn’t rely on a boyfriend and my husband is present. Comparing my moment to the way Jennifer seems on camera, it’s amazing she remains so calm.
She definitely wins the “shittiest mother award”🤬 And YES! About him getting a flat tire where he did- that was Maddie’s final “🖕🏻PHUCK YOU🖕🏻” to sterns- she was making sure he got caught!💯
I just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you for taking on this huge and heartbreaking task. Bless you, as you share all this information with us. When you are alone and saddened by all this horror, remember that many of us around the world are sharing the pain and sadness with you and holding you in our hearts as you struggle through this awful task. Hugs.
Don’t schools notify parents when children don’t show up at first period? All my years in school attendance was taken and parents were called if I didn’t show up.
I think it differs from state to state. I'm in the UK, and if a child is not there for first register, the parent is phoned.I just don't understand why this isn't something every school does!
Yes but it’s different for every state, district. I know Gisela covered this, something about the school notifying at the end of the day but later changed their notification to a real time for each class system. When my kids were young in the 80’s they wouldn’t notify you until on the report card when absences were counted. Later after a few absences, and by the end if their schooling years you got a recorded call that evening. Things change and not every where is the same or how they inform…
Thank you Miss G. for your passionate coverage of this horrific case! I appreciate all of the incredible work you do for us! You are loved and supported as you go into the dark subject matter of Maddie's story ❤😢. You remain in our hearts and prayers ❤! You are truly a warrior ❤️!

I also believed police labeled it room #4.
This poor girl deserved so much better than this. 😢
P
Is there somewhere the documents are downloaded that I can read theough them on my own?
The fact that the mother had a real bedroom plus a real bedroom (#4) for the jerk when he visited, yet Madi slept in a makeshift bedroom shows how little regard the mother felt toward her daughter. So vile
Especially for a 13 year old girl. Privacy & a place to spend time with your friends is important. RIP Maddie💔😰⚖️
There was 4 bedrooms. That makes 2 left unused... And she STILL had her daughter in the living room. She absolutely knew and turned a blind eye at best, participated at worst.
The #4 is likely coz the house was previously a sharehouse & the makeshift bedroom could’ve already been made into a bedroom before they moved there. Not meaning it to take away from all the horrible decisions Jen made but that’s how I see it atm
It could be that Madeline tried to make it more difficult or problematic for Stern to access her by sleeping in a common area . Stern is the one who said to officers Madeline's incredibly stupid mother "directed him" and he's a liar . I think her mother is a sandwich short of a lunchbox at the very least , but it does seem as if he did have plenty of time alone with Madeline , and Madelines mother could well have been ignorant of what was happening.
@@samporter2146 I've never heard the saying, "a sandwich short of a lunchbox" lol😅 Jennifer Soto has bipolar disorder & ADHD. Idk If Jennifer knew about the SA. But she knew Maddie was unalived. Because she was lying for Stephan.⚖️😥
I was with my wife since her daughter was 8. I would take a bullet for my step daughter but sleeping in the same bed would not have ever occurred to me. Sick beyond belief.
This is what I'm saying. No normal, healthy adult man would feel comfortable with it. I think even a biological father would protest having to sleep in his tweens bed, even if "directed to" by his wife and certainly wouldn't choose to if there was another space available, like a couch. Ffs. Where in the America is this normal behavior?
I can't help but reverse the situation, imagine if you will, a single dad with a tween son, that he directs his girlfriend to share a bed with.....
Come on people this is the most disgusting thing ever.
She quite obviously was at the very least enabling this predator.
Bless you, and men like you everywhere.❤️
@@DebbieMustardduring hurricane Katrina my dad and brother and I evacuated. Hotels were sold out and most of the time we slept in our car but when we got a hotel room it was one with only one bed. My dad would sleep on the floor and give us the bed. That’s a real father. Knowing he had to spend 12 hours in evacuation traffic the very next day after spending two days sleeping in our car. I never forget that
Because you’re a normal human being ❣️
Decades ago my daughter was kidnapped by an unknown person from the internet. I refused to leave our house in hopes she’d call (no cell phones then) or return home. Jenn’s behavior for leaving the school because she was “holding up” the parent line is complete BS! 🤬
I am so sorry that your daughter has not been found. I am actually not sure what the right words are for this. I am sorry you experienced such a shocking loss. Praying for your daughter.
I am sorry you had to and still are going through something so horrible words can't express how much my heart hurts for u and any mother dealing with such.
Wow, I can’t imagine being able to function under those conditions, thank you for sharing and I hope the memories you have of your daughter are a blessing for you.
😢😢 poor baby girl what she had to endure is so sick and sad😢 I hope they rot in hell
I’m so sorry
Please do NOT give Jenn immunity to testify against Stephan. I am getting tired of people getting off when there is more than enough evidence to convict everyone.
@@OoMASEoOTrue. Only i would rather call it very stupid!
@@OoMASEoOShe sent her 12/13 year old daughter to sleep with a man. That’s got to be endangering the child at the least.
She didn’t say it was a crime to have a stepdad. He wasn’t her step dad. Moms fling at best.
what evidence ?
@@MichelleThompson-bt7cgtogether fir a few years
Thanks, G.
Now you understand why the cops let him sleep on a floor, using a roll of toilet paper as a pillow, begging for a blanket and pad.
Literally the first thing her mother should have done at the school was go inside. Go to the main office, ask if maybe she was still with a teacher, etc. I think most of us would have done that.
She went to some other building because the school was closed. You can see her on body cam footage.
All of us would have done that. How was the school closed already? Ugh I have so many questions.
Jennifer Soto did go into a school building. They did an overhead announcement for Maddie. Then 2-3 hours later?? Jennifer Soto's sister called 911 to report Maddie missing.
THE THING IS IT WAS ALL A LIE SHE KNEW MADDIE WAS ALREADY DEAD 😢
@@Bobby-o5w I agree💯
Something we are learning, is to teach kids to TELL, TELL, TELL.....
Who knows what kind of threat she was given not to tell, though? She could have been to scared to say anything.
I think she had know idea what was happening wasn't totally normal.
@@loadedhot1034But as a mother you should teach your children that!! My mom did.
I tell my kids SECRETS are NOT GOOD only secrets with mommy are ok not with ANYONE ELSE
100%! We have got to instill this in them - I guess in schools so it becomes 2nd nature.
No deal for anyone who doesn’t protect their kids.
People hate Jen Soto at this point she will never live a life of peace for the rest of her life .
“She needed to get some rest so she directed them to sleep upstairs” is the way it was explained to the officers. The possible sad truth is that this was an arrangement the couple had every time this monster wanted to abuse the child, it was possibly a way to retain Stephen in the relationship. Of course the mother knew all along what was happening!! She’s just as bad as him. An animal would protect its baby better than Jen.
Good Lord!!
I agree
No the police understood that. That is why they are including specifics and terms and nighttime meds he said she had taken before showering. They are more familiar with predatory behavior than any of us. Usually they keep any opinions out of their docs, but this is so outlandish of Jen even that they are including a lot of hints in their official reports.
This is exactly what I was thinking
@@Genevieve-ni5el Your opinion is respectable but either way, no matter how you look at the case, Jen was involved and complicit in some way, shape or form. She knows what happened, lied purposely and deserves to be charged. With what? I’m not a lawyer but complicit in the cover up she definitely is and it’s an easy way out just to assume she’s another victim bc she has ADD, suffers from depression, etc, etc. That’s not a valid excuse IMO.
That’s quite possible.
This case is so gross i cant hardly stand it. I hope his man gets a big dose of jailhouse justice
@Dragon-yg3pmwill be in protective custody until after trial
This is personal for me, my son’s girlfriend mom used her as a meal ticket, her Dad died when she was 11 and the mom moved in this jerk who s/a her for years and mom ok about it and was mad when her daughter told about it at school. I know of friend who married a pedo, adopted 3 kids and he s/a them all. I want this women held accountable,when you put your kid knowingly in harms way, it needs to be a crime. 🤬🤬
Such sad stories. And we need to talk more about women that enable this behaviour. I hear this more and more from survivors. It's incredible the denial people have so they don't have to be single. Awful
I certainly hope you reported this to the police!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a crime, it just needs to be proven .
Absolutely!! How horrible!!
Surely it is? Child endangerment?
You are AMAZING! And this mom should be charged for something! Telling them to go sleep upstairs in the guest room so she could sleep in!!! This mother KNEW what was going on!
So sickening. I bet she thought offering up Maddy would keep him around. How depraved
Stern said that , and he's a liar . Maybe she never said that ?
@@samporter2146 ahhh I thought it was verified about her saying that… but good point if not/
Lordy..they are going to have to give jurors therapy during the trial!!
Sheesh!!! Seriously!!! 😮
Love the sweet intro with Maddie's beautiful pictures!!
Very thoughtful and touching indeed! Thanks Momma bear!
31:16 yea it’s so wrong that her mum was telling them to sleep in sane room. After Madeline had been rid of him for a full month. It puts a new spin on it, that perhaps Madeline during that month off (from continual SAs) wasn’t prepared to go back to that situation and fought back. That break in combination with turning 13 and possibly realising just how badly she was being treated, perhaps indicating she was going to tell others. So he, or they (him and Jen), decided to murder her.
So sorry for young Madeline. 💔
This is my thoughts. She just had enough. And fought back
Perhaps the rooms had numbers because of former roommates?? As a mother, I find it near impossible that Jen had NO CLUE of what was happening to this precious child, Maddie. 💔.
I have never in my life heard of any place unless it’s like one of those really old houses that got 10-20 rooms that’s an b&b. Never heard of putting numbers on the door for roommates. And originally there was Jen ,Maddie, her Jen’s dad and one roommate living there that can’t be that hard to figure out whose room is who. I think it has reference to stage 4. It used to be that adult films were made on stage four because it was typically a stage built in Hollywood that would be used for creating stunts that were louder, shooting scenes or scenes where pyrotechnics are used, and they were soundproofed a lot heavier and adult film crews would rent those stages to make adult films. now I don’t know if these two idiots would know that or not. I just find it very interesting that something that used to be a Hollywood term just so happens to be what’s on the door of the room with a tripod sex lotion where the child is videoed being abused. All right just could be that they’re so dumb. They don’t know which bedroom to go into.
@@Thepublicaccount. Yikes!
@@Thepublicaccount🤯🤯 holy moly those implications are astounding. I agree, the number on the door is so weird, feels like a hotel and that's pretty inappropriate with a child in the house. But this stage door thing!! I had no idea. Gives us something to really think about. That may be a tidbit I'd email Gisela about, honestly.
@@DebbieMustard and the thing is people always well if you’re selling that type of stuff and have a bunch of money why not have new cars or have this most people trade it all for drugs and an exchange to have access to other children because sometimes they get bored with the child they have.
Not to mention having strangers live in the house all the time. I doubt she did a background check on any of them.
Omg, Stephan is the most hideous, disgusting excuses for a human and Jen is right behind him! How selfish of her to care more bout her sleep than worry about a man that s not the child's father sharing a bed with her. I need to go watch the Muppets or something innocent so I don't have nightmares! I coul Denver been able to watch or listen to this alone. You are the best!
There's no way Jen didn't know. Did you give Maddie a bath? Wash her clothes? Have your damn eyes open at all to your child's welfare? I'm over the I didn't know Bs. Over it.
Sharing a room was Jen's leverage to keep him as a desperate depraved scab
@@Ms.Norths.Musingsme too
I think that’s just an excuse she’s using to try to justify sending them off to room 4. I now think she knew exactly what was going on. 😡
And honestly, I know in some cultures it's okay, but at the rate of SA and incets in this country, I would strongly reconsider letting *any* father sleep with their daughter on the regular. Sorry, but I don't know of any normal, well adjusted grown men who go into their daughters room to sleep, biological or not. Obviously I'm talking about homes with multiple bedrooms. If anyone is sharing a bed it should be the siblings, or the mom with the kids. I generally would err on the side of caution on this.
Yay! I’m a member for 6 months and 28 days! ❤❤❤ I love how classy and respectful you are to the community, victims and families!
This breaks my heart. R.I.P. little girl.There will be justice. Praying for all little ones who have been robbed of their childhood through acts of disgusting perversion, savagery and brutality.
🙏🙏🙏
Why am I just realizing mom was there most of the morning? I could have sworn the news reported she was at work. Ugh I hate the pair of them.
Excellent video ma'am,, appreciate you❤
@Dragon-yg3pm she was little he could have walked her out over night while folks slept and kept her covered till he drove away. I hope the both get the DP.
I'm new to this case & have been confused as to whether or not she worked that day. I swear someone said she did work.
She was only 13, but looks older. She was carrying the world on her shoulders. Rest in peace angel.
She doesn’t look as old as the 13 year olds when I went to middle school in 2003
Thank you for covering all these documents so we get the info without having to read 800 plus pages ourselves. You make it a lot more bearable too to listen to than other creators because you get straight to it and stick to facts when covering cases. It’s much appreciated!
He can’t help but reveal himself! He literally says:
We had time to kill. TIME TO KILL!
Used tranquillisers (likely on Maddie)
Maddie was a “good girl” when she did what he forced her to do.
She didn’t have her phone - as he probably removed it so she could not be located via it.
This Stephan is the worst type of predator. 🤬
And Jen gave him all the opportunities he wanted
What teenage girl ‘forgets’ her phone???? The cops should’ve arrested him after that statement 😬
And didn't remember to get it when they "went back for his gate fob"
Absolutely I thought the same thing WTF???
Right! That was a blatant lie right there.
My eyes fill with tears as I watch the montage of this angel. Thank you for keeping her spirit alive and for covering her story. We all will be there to make sure the devil Stephan Sterns will be held accountable and also her mother, Jennifer Soto, who handed her child over to this devil! Shame on them.
I never needed help from any adult for a "night routine" when i was 13 years old! That is insane & extra creepy. I think sorry excuse for a "mom" needs to do some serious prison time. She was suppose to protect her daughter & love her unconditionally. That sick woman only cared about herself just like her pervert boyfriend. Poor Maddie...that angel deserved the best in life & she ended up with the worst.
So true! Maddie didn’t deserve this. She was better than both of them.
IKR! My thoughts exactly!!
JS and SS 🤢🤢🤮🤮
Call her whatever you want, but please don't call her a mother!
Such a great work, Gisela, as always!!!!!!!
There's No RUclipsr like you!!!!!!
Greetings from Austria❤
Maddy suffered greatly @ the hands of Sterns and her mother as well for not protecting her own child!!! I don’t believe in the death penalty,however I would make an exception for Sterns. He began violating Maddy @ the age of 8!!! Sterns is PoS!!
Thank you Gisela for all your hard work!💕🐻 ⚖️Justice for Madeline⚖️
Such a beautiful girl, deserved protection and love, deserved to live in peace
Small detail. Former embalmer. It's extremely difficult to dress someone after they have passed. Even someone her size. I always needed help. Jeans are particularly difficult. I think two people had to dress her. Poor child. ♥️
That was my thought too. Surely she was dressed when she died.
😮
That’s why I think Jen got so mad when in the body cam footage he said she’s wearing black or blue pants and Jen started no she’s wearing shorts. I saw her in the shorts then the next interview, she didn’t see her because she just heard her.
@@fridaytiedayMadeline was fully dressed when her remains were found.
This makes her correcting Sterns on the color of clothing so much more sinister. She helped this man in Maddie’s life and death. ☹️
She had to feel so betrayed by her mom being put through that for years. Now wonder she wanted to run away.
I WONDER WHY SHE WOULDNT SAY SHE WANTS TO LIVE WITH HER DAD, BUT INSTEAD RATHER LIVE IN THE WOODS
The biggest thing I am hung up on is how Jen said she saw her daughter at 8 am getting dressed when according to police, her belongings were already trashed. This is weird to me.
Ignorance is no excuse. Jenn is responsible for the suffering endured by Madeline and deserves a life in prison for exploiting her daughter and directing her boyfriend to a secluded room in which to commit his abuses.
Aggravated child endangerment and neglect that led to Madeline’s death. Jenn deserves no mercy.
💯 agree. Making her little girl sleep with her bf in a separate bedroom so she could sleep better should be a charge all on its own!! Gross negligence.
🎯💯👏 NO MERCY!!
None was ever shown to Madeline .
Sending a child to a SO for SA is trafficking, even if related
Well put. Totally agree with you.
Agreed, I tried giving her the benefit of the doubt longer than most (that I know of) and it is clear that cannot be possible anymore. Even if she didn't participate in the murder she had to discuss something with Stephan in order to attempt getting their stories straight. If Jenn is lying or covering for him that means Madeline meant nothing to her. Jenns actions show who is more important to her.
After hearing all of this I cannot imagine that Jenn won't be charged. How could she have her daughter sleeping with her boyfriend, I do not think she is innocent in all of this.
That baby was dumped outside and left to the elements. Flies on her....my heart breaks for Madeline. She didnt deserve that. So so awful 💔
I cried when Gisela told us that . Horrible 😢
@@tinazaccagna1459people are too sensitive these days
@@ITZCHELSEA2244 Sorry if I have a heart but the thought of that child covered in flies brought me to tears 😭. I am one of the strongest women on the planet . Having a soft spot for a murdered child isn’t called being too sensitive it’s called being human you should try it . Imbecile comment
@@ITZCHELSEA2244you think people are over sensitive to be sad thinking about a deceased child laying out in the elements and flies being on them? I really hope you are on someone's radar you seem a little demented.
@@tinazaccagna1459 I guess idk I don't feel so sad she could have been a bully like the girls at my school the girls who make me want to self delete I don't know the girl so I don't feel sad about her being gone
No immunity for the Mom.
I think he unalived her just a couple hours after her b day party,she hadn't seen him for a month or so,I think she said no more. Poor child.i hope he has a violent rest of he life,living in fear.
No because her body wouldn’t be limp the next morning when she was in his car. Rigor would have already set in about 2 hours after death. He had to have killed her the next morning.
@@JacinthaDAnjou that makes sense, you may be on to something
REWATCH crew here. can't believe I missed the Live. 😢 Love your keeping us informed on these cases and poor Victims. ❤
Omg... Video of him putting her body into the trunk ON SURVEILLANCE!
Bet they showed that to Jenn to see her reaction.. and bc Jenn should have to see that!
She probably said something stupid like she did when shown the photo of him SA'ing Maddie. "I don't recognize anything." Bffr
thank you for posting the opening pics of Maddie smiling, looking like a normal kiddo. It hurts to know she endured so much.
Have a cup of chamomile tea and hug your cats. We are with you as we struggle through this horrific document together and seek full justice for Maddie. Thank you for your strength.
I love the lil intro that you dedicate to the victims you're talking about ❤❤❤❤
I literally watch hours and hours of interrogation videos every week, but I never like just listening to a person talk or read transcripts. I must say you are different, you make it feel like we are watching what we are reading. You have gained a new fan .
I worked at that holiday inn club vacations office.
One building is the corporate office (3 floors-adjacent north of the parking garage) and the other is the contact center (2 floors-parallel west of the parking garage).
The parking garage is only 3 levels and completely detached from the building. No one goes up to that last floor where Stefan was seen on surveillance moving Maddy. You’d more likely find a parking spot closer and in between the building and the garage. I find it crazy though that people are just inside working and that no one would even know a crazy man was outside moving a dead body on the top floor of the garage. People were definitely there too because in the corp building where I worked, everyone usually arrived to work between 8-9am so by 10am, most people are there and at their desk. Plus it was on a Monday?!
I’m also shocked that no one saw this; there’s security all around the two buildings-I’d say at least 3 guards on duty 24/7. But if it was on surveillance, they probably got a good amount of footage on him being the amount of cameras everywhere…including the parking garage.
I'm just confused that nobody was watching the security cameras. I mean, they definitely aren't expecting anything crazy like this to happen, but maybe since everyone had just gotten to work, they were doing other things. Idk.
I would love to know what Jenn is thinking right now.
I love listening to you tell this story. You’re as disgusted as we are and say so out loud. You give the info with just enough humor (dark too!) for us to take it all in without falling apart completely. Brilliant- well done
Not only did Jen not protect Madeline - there is a very ugly word for what she did do.
I just caught the tail end of your live presentation. What an incredibly horrified little life Madeline had!
Thank you for your excellent reading of these horrible documents.
I am going to replay it all now... if I can handle those details
You're so fabulously organised, even at short notice. Totally admirable
Sterns has been accused of sex crimes from what was on his phone. I guarantee there were MANY times that Maddie was assaulted that was NOT filmed. All those “snuggles” he🤮referred to in bed together - those weren’t all filmed. They’ve got him on the phone photos and videos - but there was far more. That child was tortured and I personally think she indicated she was done - so Sterns had to shut her up
You G are a true G in this true crime arena, they are good ones but you my friend are on top of your game and even some of " the best " can't touch ypu. All love
🤯 Thank you so much ❤️
"She sang for me"
"She was a good girl"
"She was loved"
This is the creepiest part if you ask me because as a man these things strike me as a little bit to poetic and as such "romantic" and bragadocious. I genuinley think he is talkinf that way to get off on how he abused her and is taking satisfaction from all but admitting it to authorities and as such society on the whole. It just triggers my intuition.
And it’s in past tense
I just joined the channel. I can listen to you read documents all day. Your little comments also crack me up. Love map time as well
Jenn Soto sounds and acts like a mother that cares more for the boyfriend than her own daughter!
She would rather have a boyfriend like that than no boyfriend at all
How TF can you even entertain sleep not knowing what your baby girl is going through with this MONSTER IM SO MAD!!!!
Thank you Gisela for bringing all of this to us , what a sad horrific situation for Madeline to have lived through ,,,,
Great job covering this horrific case. I'm so glad I found your channel!
The opening was so beautiful, G. 😢 💔
I so appreciate your deep dive into the documents. This is the first I’ve heard in various crime channels that they had found the tire that Sterns had thrown into a dumpster that tied him to the tire tracks near where he had dumped Madeline’s poor body. You are wonderful!!! ❤
Love your intro music, Gisela!
My 2year old nephew literally runs in to jam with me to it EVERDAY! Best intro ever😂😘
I love the outro! I dance to it too
It sounds like the mother deserves to be in some trouble as well! How as a mother could anyone do this?? 😡
She was so worried about her new job and training she FAILED at the role of the most important job as a MOTHER to Madeline. JENNIFER SOTO YOU FAILED YOUR DAUGHTER. THAT WAS YOUR JOB AND YOU FAILED.
So did anyone else who knew about the bed sharing!
Mom acted like a catty competitor instead of a protector. Sick.
She failed Maddie long before that new job. It started years before this.
So well put! Jobs/careers are not everything. Our children deserve our time, our energy, and ourselves above all else. 💕💕💕
Rest In Peace beautiful girl. Can’t imagine the hell she went through. Absolutely sick. Charge Jenn too
Thanks for taking the time to go through this in detail for us Gisela. It’s a difficult subject but poor Maddie deserves the truth to be out there.
I, too, cannot stand the details of this case.
They’re literally heartbreaking and just a bitter pill to swallow, especially understanding that what we’re reading and hearing about was Madeline’s life.
From 8-12, this was her daily, regular life..
Madeline, I am so sorry 🫶
We can’t make it right, but we will get justice and God will take care of the rest 💔
God didnt even protect her. I would despise being a martyr
Just want to say how incredible you are! Your dedication to these cases, mapping everything out, your compassion, you're a genuine soul! ♥️
Your intros always give me goosebumps 😢
I love your timestamps. Very helpful
I can’t imagine what the family members have gone through finding out what was going on with this beautiful young girl,,,, how could they possibly care what happens to Jen after finding out all of this 😢
I would say by the way they were all acting. The majority of that family knew exactly what was going on everything that people described about her stated this child was being abused, and how a school counselor was so dumb that they didn’t realize that her symptoms were not ADHD and anxiety that they were PTSD because of sexual assault is beyond me and they should be fired.
How do you know she didn't have adhd? What an assumption and a ridiculous one.
What PTSD symptoms did she display to the counselor doctor?
Lastly adhd symptoms do not mimic SA and PTSD. Lol
@@beanj580 one of the big things was that she was doing well when she stopped taking her medication without them knowing it. Another big sign that the counselor and the teacher should have caught the medication that she would be taking would be calming her down, which means she should’ve been getting restful sleep and she wasn’t. She was falling asleep in the classroom she was showing the type of mood swings and behaviors that abused children show, I forget exactly what the one child said I believe they said that she would slap them and then say that’s how she showed affection. There’s a big friggin clue people saw that the stepfather that isn’t even her real stepfather was constantly messaging her. That’s another big clue most children do not just get ADHD out of the blue, everything being read in these documents including her sitting they’re telling her counselor the guy is weird. He creeps me out. They didn’t follow up to find out more information. They just said oh why and as soon as she said, a couple of answers instead of focusing on that more they just blew it off because guess what Jen did the perfect thing and got her diagnosed as ADHD so they would never question anything, it’s also very widely known that most parents that know about abuse in the home one of the first things they do is get their children diagnosed and they will medicate them because then they can say well. They have a mental health history, anxiety, bipolar, and ADHD. apparently, the reports have been read so far she showed signs of having PTSD from a sexual assault or some form of intimate abuse. School counselors at deal with children all day every day and these cases constantly happen should be more in the no and doctors need to start being held responsible for giving these kids medicine and diagnosing them with something just because the parent says so. Her diagnosis was nothing more than a cover one so they could control her more and they probably were stealing her medicine.
When I see your introduction to this video...my eyes tear 😢
The photo of her as a little girl with her head in her hands gets me every time. You never look at a sweet little one and think they are going to suffer something so horrible 💔
Replay crew! Thank you! ❤
❤😢My heart breaks for precious Maddie and what she was forced to endure! JUSTICE FOR MADDIE 😢! She's finally in a safe place full of joy and love ❤....
Just getting to watch all 3 parts. Thx for great coverage, reading all thru these pages!
I have so much love and respect for you, G. This is difficult for all of us, and I wouldn’t want to go through this stuff without you and the community here.
Take care of your mental health. Much love, Jeanne, Seattle WA.
I keep thinking about how she felt screaming inwardly and frozen outwardly more woman need to wake up
Why would Madeleine's friends be there too early to hang out? Which kids ever even get to school on time, let alone hang out well before school time. Also who plans a special meal at some 7 in the morning?
Specially men they’re usually in a rush. If it would’ve been mom and daughter bonding but even that wouldn’t be possible on a weekday when it’s school day. For me it was obvious from the beginning he looked like a creep and was acting very unusual. He’s body language was fake.
These are middle school age kids. They do get there early and/or hang out around the area of the school after hours, especially when her school didn’t start til after 9am. Lots of kids that age get dropped off as parents are on their way to work.
There is no excuse for Jen allowing them to sleep in the same room. Imo Jen was so self absorbed in her “anxiety” she would literally do anything to be left alone and sleep. I also think there is a huge possibility he drugged both Madeline and Jen.
One thing i disagree with is how people are making such a big deal about the idea of kids her age getting dropped off an hour earlier than school starts. When my kids were in middle school, many got dropped off as parents were on their way to work, therefore early. And Madisons school didn’t start until after 9am. Also many kids in my town are dropped off down the street bc the traffic in front of the school is horrendous. And after school tons of kids walk and hangout at the Starbucks about a block away waiting to get picked up. Imo there are so many disgusting, horrendous, perverted things about this case that these issues are not a big deal. Although they were all lies, since sadly that day Madison never even made it out of her so called home alive.
I am a School Bus Driver, School Starts at 8 a.m. and As Bus Drivers We Cannot Drop off Our Students untill After 7:30 a.m. So None of My Students Even Want to Be at School BEFORE They Have to Be, much less an Hour Before School Starts.😮
I have to say you have the best cam in all of RUclips. Also the best breakdowns with evidence
Omg I can't with these new details!
Did you get a new camera? Cuz damn you looking crisp and clean
She did, good catch 😍
@@kathleen_Bit looks so damn nice!!!! Thanks for confirming it!
Thank you G. Kudos also for the great documentation of this investigation. Probably why some investigations are lazy…. They don’t want to do the paperwork. Great job on this one! There will be justice. Rip poor Maddie. 🙏.
Just about to watch on replay as soon as I can grab some headphones.
G, your intros are so tender & special sure love you girl, now let the snark begin. ❤
Made me tear up. Those baby photos. 🕊️
I am so heartbroken that they lived in a FOUR bedroom condo, and poor Maddie did not even have a bedroom. What the hell? JS did not care about Maddie!!!!
The second I saw Stephen I said to my wife "This guy looks like a creep, I think he did something to that little girl" sure enough he did.
He looks so gross hey.
I think the whole world got that vibe from him which makes it even more suspicious that the mother didn't. She'd have to have a negative IQ to not see what an absolute creep he is.
I had the same thoughts.
I think everyone knew from day one
His behavior was very weird from the start, agree! The „tears“, his voice tone and the way he spoke of Madeline 😱🤮
But they both were odd. Jen to me seemed more overwhelmed and kind of helpless at first but more and more like she didn‘t care much about M. Not at the party, no photo for police, she was searching her phone for like 5min or so until she finally could give them a pic of HER missing daughter😳 Very unusual these days. It‘s not like she never took pics of anything/anyone, she seemed to have a lot of photos on her phone, she just couldn‘t find one of her daughter instantly!?
All these little but telling details. Something was not ok between mother and daughter aside from the creep bf! Poor Madeline! Probably made it easy for SS to groom her when she missed the daughter/mother bond, was looking for love and understanding. Makes me soooo sick and angry how this creepy disturbed man took advantage of innocent Madeline to use her like a dam*d s*xtoy🤬🤬🤬😭😢
Why are there so many of these creeps?!? I really want to know! What‘s wrong w them????? To go after little kids, it‘s such an evil thing to do… And I‘m hesitant using the word evil but what else is it to s abuse a child?!
Thank you so much.. your respect for sweet Maddie is gentle and caring ❤
Thank you very much for your great work, greetings from Germany
Thank you for this breakdown of the case. I live in this area and we are so heartbroken by this case.
When I heard about the tire I couldn't help but think it was karma screaming out and thankfully Madeline was found. Heartbreaking for her father and his wife. Jennifer Soto is a monster she had no idea where her young beautiful daughter was the whole time this was happening to Maddie she was sleeping in the house? Vile woman didn't care enough to even ask about her party? I can't even imagine how she couldn't have been aware and how she could be so absent from her life. I have lived with my teenage child and I would never completely rest until they were in bed asleep I just couldn't rest because teenagers are always in danger just the age of a teenager you have to keep an eye on them constantly. It's such a scary time for parents I just can't believe she wouldn't care enough to.. it's just not excusable he has to spend time doing that it's insane where the H#!! Was the mother? How could she not protect her? Had to be hours he spent with Maddie and her mother could sleep through that?
I worked at the post office and it kept me on shifts from 7:30 am to 9 PM or even later! It wasn’t everyday, but it was often enough that I was never caught up on rest. I worked a rotating schedule, 6 day week, 5 day week broken up and last week 3 day weekend. I honestly was always losing track of things. One night my daughter didn’t get off the last bus at six and I almost lost my mind. ThenI realized that night was a track meet. I almost broke down that day. Luckily, i didn’t rely on a boyfriend and my husband is present. Comparing my moment to the way Jennifer seems on camera, it’s amazing she remains so calm.
She definitely wins the “shittiest mother award”🤬
And YES! About him getting a flat tire where he did- that was Maddie’s final “🖕🏻PHUCK YOU🖕🏻” to sterns- she was making sure he got caught!💯

Makes me so disgusted and sick thinking of that child being used that way and for so many years. 💔

Thank you G 💖
Don’t schools notify parents when children don’t show up at first period? All my years in school attendance was taken and parents were called if I didn’t show up.
I think it differs from state to state. I'm in the UK, and if a child is not there for first register, the parent is phoned.I just don't understand why this isn't something every school does!
I am in the US and YES Every school has an automated phone system that calls out if your child isn’t there for home room
I graduated high school (US) in 2010 and they were already making calls back then.
Yes but it’s different for every state, district. I know Gisela covered this, something about the school notifying at the end of the day but later changed their notification to a real time for each class system. When my kids were young in the 80’s they wouldn’t notify you until on the report card when absences were counted. Later after a few absences, and by the end if their schooling years you got a recorded call that evening. Things change and not every where is the same or how they inform…
During her first interview she said she had an email or text (can't remember) from the school saying she was absent!
