Stephan Sterns arrested in connection to Madeline Soto's disappearance 

Finally!!!! A reporter asking the RIGHT questions! And one right after another. Great job!

That reporter gave me chills! She utilized her time efficiently. I mean as soon as they opened the door, she went after him! He definitely heard her. I hope it replays in his mind nonstop!! Great job!

I don't know who that reporter is but if my child's abductor was getting hauled in then I would definitely want this lady there!

Reporter spoke with conviction and had her questions lined up and ready. She did a great job.

He's DEFINITELY involved..... ESPECIALLY after it was reported he did a "factory reset" on his cell phone.

Should be an easy death penalty case.

Sick, twisted monster! Looks like they took his clothes as evidence. Praying for Maddie! Praying justice will be served, harsh & swiftly

He’s not helping because he killed her

GET THE NEEDLE READY

Look at what a monster looks like.

RIP Madeline

Give the reporter a raise

How many prior felony convictions does this guy have?

Bravo reporter ask those questions

love that reporter 👏

I know someone currently incarcerated with him. Whatever you’re imagining, is happening. 💪🏼

If this dude really did it i hope he gets punished to the fullest extent of the law. Society should not and will not tolerate these acts

And men this I also why it’s important to stay in your child’s life and watch them like a hawk even after you and the mom breakup! Give me 1 minute with that pos

Female reporter asking the right questions.

The reporter deserves an award for this! And why am I not surprised this coward isn’t speaking… heartless. RIP Maddie 🙏🤍🤍🤍

Im so sick of hearing about children being m*rdered😑That poor girl must of been so afraid. Rip young Angel 🕊️

Good reporting, now find out where he comes from and has lived in the past. This cannot be his first time. Something doesn't make sense about this one. Prayers for mom and family. Has to be heart breaking. Praying they find her alive until I hear different, I will continue to pray for her and mom. Peace!

S/o to this reporter for making him feel as uncomfortable as possible

Thank you I’ve been waiting for a reporter to ask him while he’s in cuffs.❤

Wow that reporter gave me chills

wow. this was very informative. Kudos!

Hay que luchar por la modificación de las leyes, que sean contundentes, severas, MUY FUERTES, todo el peso de la ley, para que este tipo de mounstruos no le sigan haciendo daño a tanto inocentes…protejan a los inocentes por favor..! Hay que luchar por leyes bien severas para todos los delitos, así sean pequeños, no queden impunes y los demonios que andan en la calle haciendo de las suyas, sientan temor de ser capturados y no como ahora que no le temen a nada ni nadie m, porque saben que saldrán al día siguiente o con una condena absurda…después de arrestarlos, no los dejen en libertad POR FAVOR, que no vuelvan a la calle, porque seguirán haciéndole daño a las personas…todo se les está saliendo de las manos, porque las leyes están siendo suaves y compasivas con quien no deben. Esas leyes son arcaicas, se quedaron en el pasado y ahora los criminales abundan, hay demasiada maldad…DEMASIADA MALDAD Y LEYES QUE SE QUEDARON EN LA PREHISTORIA… Los criminales y mounstruos como ese, que a voluntad y libremente, hacen de las calles un pandemónium…robando, violando y matando sin compasión y sin miedo a nada ni nadie… Desgraciadamente fue melanie ahora, pero puede ser cualquiera de nosotros o algún conocido, porque la maldad está creciendo sin control… Que desgracia que sigan pasando día tras día estos horribles acontecimientos, estas historias de horror…que lamentablemente que desgracia y como madre, que dolor siente mi corazón

Why anyone thinks they can get away with murder when they are the last person to see the missing or murderer victim is crazy.The pressure that police put on you is more then enough to make anyone just slightly slip up in there story or timeline. And boom they will get you..

The police are so gentle with him 🤬

Breaks my heart !!!! 😢

“Why aren’t you helping her mother and her family?” Probably because he’s under arrest you genius.😂😂😂

This is ridiculous why isn’t the mom arrested as well she’s just as much as fault

Mother's never trust your boyfriend around your daughters...

Police found disturbing photos of him S.A. her in her home 😢

Good on that reporter!!

He doesn't appear bulked up enough to have bullet proof vest on. Surprising.

Extraordinary respect for this Incredible reporter. Who is she? This is the heart of what true reporting is about. She deserves National attention for this clip alone. You have my support for what it is worth.

These comments would have a different tone if Stephan Sterns was Tyrone Washington!

This is heartbreaking 💔 I pray they give him the maximum sentence for this

You know or think anything call no matter how little it seems, it might be a lead, or it might help find her. Know something please say something. Help find her. Everyone, look for her. He had to much time before dropping off and last seen with her. She could be anywhere. Praying they find her alive but if she is already with the Lord, pray they find her so they can bury her. Peace!

What a POS. Worse - how lonely and desperate must Maddie's mother have been to use such poor judgement with a man like this - letting him into her life, and her home..? Can't believe there were no red flags. I am sure this will be one of these cases where, as the investigation proceeds.... something troubling will be discovered, and then someone comes forward with the inevitable... 'I always thought he was kinda odd.... but..."

Amazing reporter

He is definitely a pedophile and I don’t wanna blame it on mama. I feel so bad doing that because after watching this video, I don’t think she had any clue. She looks very innocent and clueless and very naïve and sheltered her her whole life I don’t know she has nothing to do with it.

Look, she’s still in denial she thinks somebody took her

Hola porian colocar sub títulos ni todos hablamos inglés

Send him to the LIONS😮

I knew it Who was her Safe One ? Heartbreaking 💔 💔 😢

So did they ever find the kid?

If only that door could talk. Looks like it knows too much with the blood and damage.

terrible tragedy. Fortunately, this guy wasn't very good at this since he was on video most of the time and will be dealt with. So many missing children.

She's a complete liar!!

He’s probably being interrogated still and denying everything.

Your day will come

He will pay in jail

If the school would of done their job at being role models , madeline be alive and well and healing from her traumas... yet the women at the schools are blind

Honestly, after watching the video, I don’t think mama had a clue

Hes so gross

Awesome Reporter!

That reporting style dosnt work

He’s going to find himself a nice dedicated husband soon if not already

THE MOM IS STUPID SHE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON

Predator

Everyone is quick to judgement but let’s not forget other famous cases where everyone thought they knew the truth. Let’s wait until all the evidence comes out.

If this is not a DEATH penalty case , i don't know what is ..

This reporter needs to get better training

FSS get em boys

Wow, that reporter is on fire

Big bubba is waiting for him 😮

Meth

its always a conservative *always*

This is why you can’t have all men around your children. This is the mother‘s fault and she’s gotta live with this for the rest of her life. She probably knew he was a bad guy, but brushed it off that oh I can change him. He’s not that bad, and came up with every excuse in the book. This is why women have children shouldn’t date especially young children. This mother is going to not only be devastated by the passing of her child, but knowing that she brought the man in the house that did it.

like he's gonna answer. ok.

Does this reporter realize how ridiculous she sounds ??? " Stephan , are you a pedophile " ??? Stern : " Yeah , that and then some " What do you EXPECT him to tell you as he's being escorted into the jail by the police ???

Pedophilia refers to a sexual attraction to pre-pubescent girls. Soto was 13. I mean, isn't the actual situation bad enough without trying to make it look worse? The truth here is sufficiently bad. No need to borrow heat from elsewhere. I realize this was probably just ignorance, because there is so much ignorance, but the truth is fine. No need to embellish.

The reporter is excellent? How? Annoying? yeah. What she said did not help the case whatsoever. What you think she single handedly incited a confession. She is at work for money. The business/ news station that employ's her is also there to make money. Wow
