Or, that sort of perps have often been victims in childhood themselves. So it could be that momma Stern judge Madeleine's mom as the same if momma Stern was aware of it.
Mom is heavily involved in post birthday party. She called Madeline to come back home for a reason. Her granny's house was few feet from school why would she come back to sleep few hours in an empty house. Why would granny send the little girl with the boyfriend that she never trusted?
@basicinfo2461 SS wasn't at the birthday party. Madeline's grandmother didn't like him and did not invite him to the party. SS showed up at the apartment after Madeline's Aunt dropped her off at home.
Aunt drops off Madeline alone in the apartment knowing the mother working late makes no sense why not just let her sleep at grandmothers. No they knew SS was coming over
Hi Vinnie from Michigan they both should be in prison! No way a mother is not gonna know what’s going on with her daughter for years I say she had something to do with this this whole case is all messed up she should’ve been arrested! RIP sweet Madeline🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for the truth!
Subpoena his mother so she can put her money where her mouth is. Call her in, ask her questions and see what she knows. She should have to speak on the record for being a big mouth.
Still not one of them have expressed any sadness for what happened to Maddie. Even if Stephan rats out Jen as they say it doesn't negate the unthinkable things he did to her. This is horrible!
Mom is making it clear that SS chose Jen and Maddy over her? Now she makes it clear he shouldn’t do That again. SS needs mommy…says mommy. How in the world could mommy stearns be supportive of her son? At the very least, there are photos and videos of him with the child. At the most, he may have killed her. Either or both of those choices are horrific!
She absolutely knew. He wasn't even living there or dating the mom anymore! He was dating someone else and conning back there to 'sleep' with Maddie. The mom said she sent them to bed together the night before!
@kellyegan9824 how? When she knows exactly what's going on and she doesn't give a you- know- what. That's my whole point, she absolutely knew what he was doing. This wasn't a covert middle of the night sneaky thing. He moved out and was dating someone else, and would come back to sleep with Maddie. Her mom said she sent them to bed the night before. She should be in prison right next to him forever.
I'm very suspicious about her statement. Does she really know something or just what Stephen has told her? She's also well aware these emails are not private, so is she trying to create doubt to assist her man child son?
I hope if it comes out stephans mother knew ANYTHING at all, she's also held accountable! If she knew anything she should of contacted dhs and the police! Idc if it's her son or not! She seems like a wicked enabler and the reason he's a man baby!
Regardless of the Judicial System and Judgment Against Sterns.... Prison JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL! His parents are Avoiding the Elephant in the Room because they are his "parents" Which is a Disgrace in All Aspects of this case💯 God Bless You Madeline Soto and May God's Angels Surround You with Loving Peace n Protection in Heaven 🙏🏾🫶🏾❤️💛
It's crazy how his mom says Jenn isnt thinking about him or how she can help him right now. UMMM HELLO??? He murdered her daughter!!! Keeping in mind we have no proof Jenn knew anything, what kinda support or empathy should she show the man who took her daughter's life? No one owes Stephan anything!!!
She lied. There's some proof of discomfort of knowledge. Question is what is the knowledge? Point being, people don't lie with a truth. The truth doesn't need a crutch, a lie does. She's leaning on a crutch. She lied on a timeline. HUGE. RED. FLAG.
It is absolutely still his fault ! He is a grown ass man and he damned well knows better! The mom could be at fault for this on her own as well, but he did not have to touch her in the first place. I also believe 100% that the mother is cause for this too. She could have some of the same charges as him.
@@celinescrappassion2184agree and to be honest to give an interview wouldn‘t be the first thing on my mind after my child was found dead, allegedly k by my bf😱😱😱 Unrelated to the fact that she probably knew SOMETHING about SS‘s sick desires…That‘s a whole other story I don‘t want to think about that much😢
why would she do an interview? so she can be attacked by the public? she's been attacked non-stop and people are set on sending her to jail. she's probably grieving, contrary to the picture people online seem to paint.
The mom is definitely guilty. That first interview when she reportss her missing says it all. No tears, no sense of urgency, no hysterics. Any mother missing her daughter would be beside herself with worry and it would be evident in her behavior. Jen acted like she was reporting her bicycle stolen. I think they fought that night and the Jen unalived her. Maddie put her foot down and the both of them panicked because they knew the ish was going to hit the fan and the gig was up with them. They are both equally guilty in the unaliving and the disgusting behavior by the monster.
How can he explain dumping her school bag etc out in a dumpster ? How can he explain being seen at the area where her body was found? How can he explain being seen with him moving her body to the trunk? Was Sterns called by Jenn to go pick Maddie up after the party ? Why didn’t Jenn go pick her up , she was off work by then? What was Jenn’s excuse for lying through the whole questioning? There are questions that I’d like to know the answers to.
Often these types of perpetrators have been subjected to similar abuse as children. If that is the case maybe his mom was aware of it and downplay the harm of it? And presuming the same is with Jen?
Do you people really think if he's molesting this little girl, that he's going to tell his family?? His mom thinking that J has something to do with it, is probably coming from stories and lies he's telling his family, and that's why she THINKS J is involved. I think J just doesn't want to let herself THINK that this gentle, soft-spoken bf would do anything so heiness. And she wouldn't bring it up because he would berate her for even letting that cross her mind. She may have been totally innocent in this whole thing. I'm just saying......
Do you think that investigators are obligated to go-to Stearns mother and ask what she means by this? It seems like she knows what was going on with Madeline and S.S.
My belief is that he groomed Maddie so that she may have felt like they were in a relationship. She may have believed he really loved her. I think though deep down she knew what he was doing was wrong and tried to tell her councilor. She said he was "weird," which should have been a huge red flag. When kids don't have the right word to describe something sexual that word is top. I think it's no coincidence it was her 13th birthday. She was left alone with him that night and I believe she'd had enough. At 13 you feel empowered as you are a teen now! I think she may have fought him and he didn't plan to kill her. I think it was an accident due to him trying to shut her up. The way he dealt with disposing of her was so all over the place and SO STUPID it had to be him scrambling. What a horrible human being he is. My heart aches for poor Madeline. She dealt with so much horror so young.
Or he told her that Maddy and Jen got in a big fight and Jen lost control and ended up killing Maddy...and he was just helping her by moving the body etc etc
I wonder if J found out about them (SS & Maddie) and she got jealous. She killed Maddie, and SS covered it up for her? However, I have a hard time believing that J knew nothing about the abuse that poor girl was going through for all those years.
I still think they are connected with the Cox family- who were busted by the task force right before Maddie went “missing”- & live in the same town where Maddie was dumped. I think Stephan came back because of that- the fear that Maddie would talk
What happen with the coxes nobody has come covered him on a podcast I thought he was big news getting arrested then his son killed his self, nothing has been said about him.
Does anyone have information about the significance of the 13th birthday and beliefs of SS? I feel like there was an "agreement" surrounding this significant birthday. They were separated, correct? Yet he was right there at the conclusion of the 13th. Maybe why JS made sure she couldn't be there?
His actions are all HIS fault. Her actions are her fault. She is not responsible for his horrific deeds, but she is 100 % responsible for not turning him in.(if she was aware)
Mum can’t believe her darling boy, whose friends she’s bribed in the past to keep their mouths shut, has committed and caught for the ultimate conviction (it’s always somebody else’s fault!) Thruth is she bred and endorsed despicable behaviour from her own son. That’s the biggest letdown, yet she still scolds him like a little boy!
Agreed, it's tough because I begin to think about his wife, kids, this is his second wife, who would not want to be with him, though I agree what a good looking man he is. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Vinnie If my son was in jail facing those charges I'd probably be writing all kinds of letters knowing they collect evidence while awaiting trial to build up a case knowing that they are being read by jail staff and the state and I'm pretty sure that's what's happening here. I'd probably be surprised if the mother was involved but I can't completely rule out the possibility
Vinnie, love the shirt and you are very handsome. Does the mother know about the videos and pictrues on the phone or have seen them? Maybe she is talking about the murder. I can see Jen involved in that Also, I hope she testifies that she told SS to go to bed with her daughter. She should be charged with neglect at least. 💙💙
Yes she saw the pictures and completely denied that it was clearly Stephan and Maddie in the pics. Like she was in denial and did not want to except it
We love all your content good perspectives and enlightening. Could it be that Maddy was groomed for so long that she fell in love with Stephan and this upset Jen and she was the person who caused her daughter’s death??
I doubt Maddie fell in love with him. He was very mean to her. ( her friends words) she was thriving after he left in October. Also, the videos depict him hurting Maddie and using violence.
The family is victim blaming. They are blaming the mom and the other Madeline’s family for not proctecting her from their son. Is like he had no agency.
He can waive every appearance but it’s not going to change the fact that he’s in deep doo doo! I mean c’mon. He drove through the apartment complex with her body propped up in the passenger seat. He claimed she was “sleeping “ but who falls asleep on the way to school in the morning? Ridiculous. His parents are clearly snowed by him. They are doing everything they can to do to keep him comfortable with his origami, card games and books in jail. Parents doting on their adult child who’s sitting in jail on some of the most disgusting charges, is sickening:
6:53 My only brother was a real piece of work! A grown man who mooched off of our parents his entire life. Physically abused my daddy and me. And yet, they always took him in, took his side and always thought he could do no wrong…{especially my mama}
Hi, Vinnie! I think SS has brought up some hypothetical ex-boyfriend of JS's to his mother. SS,*** "Mom, Maddie hasn't been acting right. Her behavior doesn't seem appropriate. She says things that have a s*xual undertone. She's physically clingy with me. I'm wondering about that guy Jen was seeing when we broke up. I think he may have done something to Maddie. I told Jen she needed to look into it, but she ignored me. I asked Maddie indirectly and she hung her head and said she wouldn't talk about it."**** Again, jmo and a hypothetical conversation in the event Maddie said something about SS; he could then say Maddie was confused. I think he even has his own parents bamboozled. I don't think JS participated in the demise of her child. Even adults can be groomed. He's the epitome of a preditor.
ITS ABIOUS THE MOTHER IS GUILTY SHE FED THAT POOR DEFENSIVE GIRL TO SLEEP WITH A SICK PERVERT MAN WE ALL KNOW THAT EVERY WOMAN LOOKS AT THE HUSBANDS PHONE PLUS A REAL LOVING MOTHER WOULD CRY SCREAM AND PANIC SHE LOOK CALM COOL AND COLLECTED COME ON WHY GO BACK AND FORTH WITH THIS? I PRAY OUR LORD BRINGS ALL LIES TO THE LIGHT AND BRING JUSTICE FOR THAT POOR LITTLE GIRL SENDING PRAYERS
The parents sound evil to me. The children are our responsibility, all of us. At some point they should be defending the victim and not their adult son. She's our daughter. Everyone's. How else would anything ever change. And why wouldn't they run to the police with whatever their son has told them?
I wonder if he told his parents he suspected someone had SAd Maddie. That way, if Maddie ever disclosed anything about Stephen, he could say she was confused because someone else had done someone else had done something to her.
The messages sound like mom is trying to send a coded message but it has to be very obvious so he can still understand it. Or desperate attempt to fabricate “evidence” from the lawyer because they have absolutely no real way to defend him.
I think JS changing her story about seeing Maddie that morning is very suspect. Either she innocently went along with the story SS told her about timeline or she was covering for him it seems like again.
Vinnie, some of these dance companies are sometimes associated with sex trade. I think we really need to "hug" our young people. Their parents need to look closely at these dance companies. Thank you for your work.
According to 'Guilty of Crime ' podcast There's proof❌ Jen Sotos vehicle later went to where Maddie's body was placed. ❌ Which was also the area where Jen used to live🧨🔺️ Stephans father met Jen & Stephan at the top of a hotel parking lot the night before Maddie's body was found 🧨🧨🧨
I was just watching this thinking about how there is a piece missing….. Sex and human trafficking is very high in this particular area…. A lot of roommates…. Maybe they are figuring out that Jenn has been trafficking her daughter. Or another could be that it’s possible things had been going on for so long that they had more of a relationship then him and the mom did. Maddy pregnant mom jealous kills her and has him dispose of the body knowing what he had on his phone. Just a few that I’ve thought about
honestly Vinnie, the second part of the email that you showed. how I read it is he had a habit of leading his parents to believe he was innocent in a situation and was just protecting somebody. just as he has led them to believe in this situation. just goes back to the parents wanting to think their child can do no wrong.
His parents are still enabling and cuddling their POS??. No wonder... Madeline had no chance,she was with people who never cared, listened, loved..RIP Sweet child. I hope you're now taken care, listened, seen and loved.
I’m a mother & grand, usually you know how each one of them are if one needed help get them the help 110%, I feel like his parents know more about it especially his mother, I get it when comes to your child, but something heinous-abnormal like this, you have no choice and do the right thing.
