      @@CourtTV why does it matter what anyone thinks? All your over the top dramatic productions are unnecessary along with your so called "experts" who just sit there and fuel baseless theories and speculation. I think that the evidence will come out at the trial if it even gets to that point. He's not gonna be acquitted when his dumb ass not only recorded his crimes, but kept the images backed up on his cloud storage, and the authorities will charge Jenn when they have enough evidence to convict. If they don't, it's safe to assume that she's a horrible mother who made very bad choices, and is far from the sharpest tool in the shed, or cares more for herself that she was completely clueless to her child's abuse and suffering, but wasn't otherwise involved. You're supposedly staffed by attorneys, how do none of them know that there is a clock that starts ticking as soon as you take someone into custody and charge them with a crime, so there's a reason why Jenn is not in custody, and her silence means absolutely NOTHING. It's not a sign of guilt or innocence. Her kid is dead. So what does she need to be speaking publicly about? These days where every lay person thinks that they're the best detective in the world, and believe that the first amendment gives them the right to stalk, harass, speculate, and go after an individual's family, friends, and even employers because obviously they're guilty by association, I wouldn't be seen or heard from either. My mom was brutally murdered in 1987. I was only 10 years old at the time, but I can still remember the time surrounding her murder and the trial. Luckily in those days people were still kind. No way would I have wanted the entire internet following my every move to speculate on my tears or lack of, or combing through my social media to gain access to my family. As a media outlet you have a responsibility to present facts in these cases, and when you're tailored to a narrow subject you're going to have slow news days, and should have some sort of plan in place regarding your programming for those days. I don't know what her family knew or didn't know, all I know is that someone loved that child and is grieving her abuse and murder, and waiting for justice to be served. You're not helping.

      I think she started to suspect Stephen was involved in some way, whether she knew about the abuse is still a mystery but I think she was starting to suspect his involvement, maybe him taking her car in the early hrs was the thing that made her suspicious… maybe she suspected an accident happened and was trying to protect him but it’s also possible she knew everything. I don’t want to make assumptions but they haven’t charged her for anything yet and that’s freakin weird.

    Hi Vinnie: During tonight' program, you missed one important event. Sterns went back to the crime scene 2 nights back-to-back at 3 a.m. The first night he took Jen's car. The second night he took his dad's car. The route and destination for both nights were the same. It was the crime scene. Also, he made 5 more trips to the dumpster in addition to the initial 2 trips (when he dumped the backpack, laptop, one shoe and his tire). We are not told the items that he dumped in those 5 times.

Apparently SS is admitting guilt of molesting MS BUT he's trying to say that JS is equally to blame for having MS sleep in the same bed as him and therefore tempted him. Apparently SS's mom is trying to blame JS for that, too. Which yes, JS should've NEVER even suggested that SS sleep in the same bed as MS but that doesn't resolve him of any blame/guilt.

      Agreed 💯. My mother enabled my younger brother's behaviors and never monitored him when he was living in her home. When my brother was 20, he was going to Pokemon card game tournaments and spending time with young kids. He eventually started inviting a 13yr old kid to my mother's home at night. His behavior escalated and he sexually assaulted the 13yr old and went to prison.
      I cut ties with my brother because his behavior is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. My own mother got pissed off because I refused to visit my brother in prison, I refused to buy things for my brother and send them to him in prison, and I absolutely refused to allow my child near him. My mother, the woman who allowed me to be sexually molested and almost raped by my stepfather as a young teen, told me I was being selfish. I am a survivor of sexual molestation and abuse so it's obvious that I would not want to visit a child predator in prison.
      My mother was actually putting $200 into my brother's commissary every month. In my mind, 10 years wasn't enough and he was never really punished for his crime.

    Yep it’s true, no way Jen didn’t know. Jen also instigated the abuse by giving her daughter to Stern and ushering them off to share a bed alone, a plethora of times. She is just as much to blame in this. It also seems way too obvious in her face, she knew Maddy wasn’t coming back when they released that “plea” for her safe return. She knew, and her being so quiet and not screaming from the rooftops says a lot too. And the most she has said have been lies that she sloppily tries to hide and patch up.

      with that being said…wouldn’t she request the night off of work/call-in/use vacation to celebrate her daughter becoming a teen (13, i believe-pray i’m not wrong out of respect)? it just seems super premeditated?? i can’t sit with this thought alone.

    This mom seems shockingly worse than Roberta Laundrie. I get not abandoning your son and continuing to love him despite them being a literal monster, but don’t coddle him. You’re seriously worrying about his commissary after learning of all the horrific things he did? Absolutely insane.

    Geez Vinnie. My youngest daughter is a teenager this month on the 26th. Because I was a victim at 5, and it went to trial, I’ve protected my 4 kids from this. Nobody but my parents ever babysit my kids, and I am a mama bear that would be on your show facing murder charges if it did! I had it happen twice again by mom’s boyfriend. I’ll stop there, but it did send me thru a journey of my own troubles. I’m crying now, I’ve avoided following Maddie’s case. 😢

    Interesting. I have been seeing a lot of parents justify their adult children’s actions recently. (Although it happens more than we think). In this regard, I’m talking about Stephan and his mums emails.
    Us as parents need to hold our children to account. I’m sick of seeing enabling and “forgiving” parents- justifying or trying to shift blame onto someone else. It starts from the beginning, when they’re children. We cannot keep turning a blind eye or minimising someone’s actions because “my child could never” or whatever parents want to say.

    Even Chris Watts claimed Shannan killed the kids. How many times have we heard the culprit try and shift the blame on the mother? Sterns can't deny his phone content. But he can deny murder & claim accessory after the fact. "Mom, all I am guilty of is loving Madeline - I'm not her murderer ! Jenn did it! Madeline told her we are in love & Jenn went crazy & killed her Mom! I panicked . I didn't know what to do Mom! You know me, I'm always the good guy - so when Jenn begged me to help her, I did! But it was her all her Mom - not me!".

    Have they gone through her phone and computer? Her texts etc. They should also look through the phones and computers of her other boyfriends and see if this was wide spread. They might be innocent and they shouldn't release their names, but since it's child abuse better be on the safe side and check everyone
