Stephan Sterns Police Interview: Madeline Soto Murder 

If they didn't have a warrant for the contents of that phone this POS child murder/predator might have a fighting chance. Be kinda messed up if a bunch of people gotta go track this guy down if the courts fail.

THE PICTURE OF MADDIE WITH PURPLE BACKGROUND LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS ON DRUGS .. HER PUPILS LIKE UFO

agreed! now she needs to turn her energy towards the mom.

Mind if I check your settings? Mind if I check your Google? Is this the phone you use for directions? Do you use this phone for anything? Oh you factory reset it? What time was that? Truly. Leave your phone and keys, we'll let you know when we're done. No bullshit. No apologies. So much respect for her.

Oh yes. I could definitely tell she was on to him, too.

Chek mom celular what she have?

Yes! She was.

💯 🎯 I'll bet she threatened to call LE on him and that's when all hell broke loose!! That's why the phone was left there! 🤔🧐🕵️

Jennifer soto doesn't not deserve to be called a mom that is sick she made her sleep with him lock her sorry butt up

A 13 year old girl got up at 7:15 am & was out the door by 7:30-7:45 “ish?” “We made amazingly good time.”

Right Exactly no 13 yr old girl would be ready to leave out the house in only 15 or 30 minutes!!! My grandson is 12 and he can't even get ready to leave the house for school that fast!!!

@@Grammichal he also said later when he forgot his phone it was because he was rushing to get her out the door on time. How are you simultaneously making good time and rushing?

1700 Files! Yes, arrest Jenn!

They’re taking their time for a valid reason!! Remember when everybody knew SS had murdered Maddy & how long it took them to charge him with her murder? Have some patience.

Jenn knew what was going on. She is guilty. What mother doesn't go to her own daughter's 13th birthday. Give her the perp walk.

If they don’t charge her I’ll need to meet her

@@Loarnold You won't be alone on that day

Just like the pastor guy 🤢

@@jesclifford88 exactly!

Well actually he is helpless NOW!!! 😂😂😂 BUT what's worse and more sickening is the language he uses like he thinks he's a young teenager trying to be cool, ( she 86'd that , I made a uey, she poo poo'd the idea ) what an idiot he is!!! I can't stand it he acts like he is 13 and with all that grey hair 🤮

💯

He isn't a real man!

The way she just went along with him in the interviews they gave …. It’s sickening, it’s giving severe neglect

Probably lawyered up

I hope her mother gets jail time. How in the hell would you let your boyfriend sleep with your child.

@@NaturalDivaBeautyI wonder if he raped her and got her pregnant which is why he killed her

Absolutely! Child neglect, child endangerment, child sacrifice, whatever you want to call it, charge her ass!

@@reemagee4828PERIOD!!!!

She made her preteen daughter sleep with her creepy boyfriend. Worse than I thought.

​@@Seth5861tr4 me😡

@@Seth5861tr4and then comforts him after he unalives her.

Used that voice to convince Mom, Dad, Jennifer, Madeline etc. to be sympathetic and empathetic towards him..I feel ! He appears to be selfishly focused on 'his' needs

Yes!!! I said same thing!! His voice is creepy asf and he sounds like such a pansy

Yes his voice is so awful and how he wants to sound sweet, P.O.S......

Knowing more and more details about this predator make his voice even more disgusting and disturbing. I am so sorry Madeline had to go through this since she was 8 years old (that we know of). 😢

Me too, turns my stomach.

Right? He’s disgusting.

Madeline was far more intelligent than this perverted, filthy freak. Mama knew what was going on and was party to the homicide. Mama was under the power of the 'cock.'

And when he said “she’s really dependent on us she wouldn’t know what to do if she ran away…” 🧐 what a weird effing way to frame it… disgustingly self consumed…

He also said "she knows nothing but love in this house". Revolting.

​@@BeaBelfastVideosI'm reading & responding to your comment before I've 👂that part... I doubt if I'll "be prepared" when that comes up.... That's UNBELIEVABLE AND TRULY SICK af... "Sick,sick,sick Love"🤦‍♀️🤢🤮😩

Rumors are she was pregnant & why she was murdered!!

She looks pregnant in that one photo to me.

@@cheryll747 no way! Oh my 😪

If she was pregnant would there be a murder charge for the baby ?

Mamas always let this crap happen

That fake baby tiny voice 😮‍💨

@@pinkpugginz💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯☝️

The detectives knew from the minute he opened his perverted mouth…

At this very moment, do we know if Stephan Sterns is aware that the world knows of his disgusting habits-from the murder of Madeline, to him splooging 💦 in all sorts of stuff, to how everyone hates Jennifer just as much..? Does he have access to the news and interwebs we do? I want to know if he knows that he and Jennifer Soto are the most hated people in the world right night.

As soon as I heard him talking about McDonald's, I knew it was all bull.

That was very creepy. She gave it the same seriousness as if it was her neighbors dog that was missing..devoid of any real worry. It seemed as if she was trying to act worried at first, but when that recording started playing randomly, she dropped the facade real quick. Just disgusting. I'm sure she will eventually be charged. I find myself opening up the news daily wondering if today's the day.

Absolutely. .

💯 agree. Seeing her in the interview something didn’t seem right she looked guilty of something to me. Her job was to protect her daughter not hand her to a monster 😡

I wonder if she actually got to eat that so called raspberry and cream danish or did he eat it

I agree with your statement so true

I hate his voice. It’s tough to even listen to him.

@@JP-qf8iothat’s exactly what I’d like to know too! You know they know what’s in her stomach so I’d be interested to learn of if that statement was even true from this sick individual

They want to have concrete evidence of his lies. That's why

i wanna know what time did he leave the grandma's with Maddie after the party. what time they got home. what time did Jenn leave work and arrive home. essentially all the hours until he is seen on video the first time with Maddie slumped in the car.

he tells cops he was not at her bday and arrived at 8/830 Sunday and she was dead before 8am that morning. He came in town to tie up loose ends. Jenn had to know. Why would he need to ask her 5x in the interview what her answer would be because he didn't want to say the wrong thing

He said he had gotten there that weekend (Friday) to “help with her” so that means he killed her in the second day he was there? I think he probably tried to assault her and she fought back so he in anger killed her.

@@prisilahernandez9620he got there Sunday at 8:30pm after the party.

How was she killed and has she been found?

She was only one child. She couldn't have been that difficult. Any emotional probs she had were because of them, especially his abuse.

Check out Peter Hyatt statement analysis. He talks all the time about what it means when a parent describes their last words to their children as saying “I love you”. Your intuition is on point there.

My kid has forgotten it a few times, but he has always realized it after we are in the car and driving to school already.

Exactly 💯💯so true

No kid, especially a 13 year old, decides not to get McDonald’s after waking up extra early specifically to get it.

The day after her birthday 🤬 Who was she supposed to reach her friends

EVERYONE forgets their phones sometimes. I realize the was not the case here, but to say no kid ever forgets their phone is just not accurate. My kid has!

Sherriff Mina said quote, "we BELIEVE she was already dead" in the 1st press conference. The Sterns murder arrest affidavit says quote about when she passed "on or between the 25th day of February 2024 and the 27th of February 2024".

A 13 year old girl got up at 7:15 am & was out the door by 7:30-7:45 “ish?” “We made amazingly good time.”

@@Grammichal this stands out to me too.

😡😡😡😡😡😡 same

Every word he speaks is the exact opposite of the truth.

Omg me too. The sob just wanted to relive a vision

My skin crawls too! He rewrites history to flatter himself. He's a fantasist and a creep.

Sick MFPOFS is absolutely accurate

A 13 year old girl got up at 7:15 am & was out the door by 7:30-7:45 “ish?” “We made amazingly good time.”

@@Grammichalright?!

My dad used to drive me 30 min to school everyday in middle school (I was 12-13) and I fell asleep every morning... Despite trying my darndest not to. Maybe I was a weird kid though.... That being said, almost everything out of his mouth sounds like a load of you know what!

Children are abused and mistreated in several different ways, all of which are abhorrent to God. The Bible prohibits child abuse in its warnings against improper anger. Too many children are the victims of angry beatings and other physical abuse as their parents take out their own anger and frustration on their children. Though some forms of physical discipline may be biblically acceptable, such discipline should never be administered in anger.

One min she’s on the spectrum the next she is a snotty teenager worried about her image. Neither one is true

🔫

Definitely for Stephen. Not for Jen.

@@AbbyCavapoo24she can go too. She could end up in this situation again.

When he said she is a good girl ! The nerves !

Hate him

Creepiest voice I’ve ever heard in my ears…

And not even that the child was in the bed with them which is just as bad, but in a bedroom, door closed, the child and the man, imagine that scenario and the feeling of the child, helpless and alone. I cannot stand it, my heart is breaking, sorry Maddie!!!😥

No! It's so very, very wrong! Poor Maddie..her own mom put her in this situation!! All for a whiny, loser boyfriend! I'm just so angry over this! That poor little girl!

I feel 😡😡😡😡 as one can be.

It’s well known that Jenn was into kinky sex, how into it idk. Makes me wonder did she involve Madeline after hearing all of this!?

I don't think any child should be in a bed with anyone of the opposite sex beyond 3 yrs old. I never allowed my children, boy and girls, to sleep in the same room let alone the same bed after the age of 3. I have never allowed my children to even take a bath together; the girls bathed together up until the age of 5 and my son by himself.

That is why even innocent people should be careful when talking to police. You say you put groceries away, then fed the cat and then got the mail to one cop. The next day, you tell another cop you put the groceries away, then got the mail and then fed the cat. You have made inconsistent statements. Probably never an issue most of us will ever face, but lawyers have good reasons for warning people to shut up until they have legal representation.

@@shrikeofterven6006Do you watch Peter Tragos the Lawyer You Know? Excellent legal analysis with a great law need community.

Yeah Nancy G. Moved on months ago

I do too. I appreciate Vinnie's coverage. Poor Madeline. She had all that life ahead of her, and this monster took it away. :( Justice for Madeline.

I do not think that is what she was experiencing. She very openly said they all slept together. She did not try to keep that hidden.

Jennifer Soto Never reported Maddie missing the calls to 911 was a female ,but not Jennifer S , and everything around This MOTHER ( Jen ) is very questionable . 🚩🙏🏻⚖️

The Japanese have a term for it (I don’t remember it) where the whites of the eyes are visible below the colored part. That’s what makes his eyes so creepy.

🍆🍑

I hope jail justice is served!

@@ogadlogadl490 for 24 hrs a day.

I hope so but I know in federal prisons the trend is to keep similar crimes together because it's easier on staff/babysitters .

You can fake the voice (no tears needed). He sounds like he’s sharing a cookie recipe… no connection. Glad he got his rec drugs 😳😳😳

@@darrellhicks360 He won’t get no Ativan in prison!

@@danellzaabani5923 I would not be surprised if he is an addict.

YES. 💯❤

It’s probably how she kept a boyfriend. She may have even gotten off on it… no way in hell she didn’t know what was happening to the child… no way…

@@Annii_Oakley_yup. Sadists.

I agree with you. I'm not completely convinced she 'knew' he was using her daughter, yet. Willfully ignorant is different from "being checked out." Had she honestly not known, she would have to have been totally checked out with her surroundings, deeply, but it can & has happened that way. We don't know the state of mind she had during those times. Maybe he was a master gaslighter as well as a master manipulator. Every abuser is a master manipulator, especially to their child victim. I'd imagine the sick eff went as far as showing Maddy the videos or pictures he had of her to completely control her through sheer terror of being exposed. That right there fucks up every child victim. I've seen that first hand as a young child myself, sadly. I wish so badly now that I'd told someone, anyone, what I'd seen happen to my best friend in 5th grade, her perp absolutely would have been given a very, very long prison sentence.

Exactly!! She knew

Right?? Didn’t Jenn say she saw her in the morning??

Either she got the time wrong, which is not far out there, or she did not really see her.

8. That's how long the angel had a normal life. 🙏🏻😭😡

She didn’t see Maddie getting ready for school as she claimed. What mother lies when your child is missing?!

Has been said quite a few times that they were off/on for the past 2-3yrs.

Its possible mom is a deviant too and sometimes, all it takes is a similarly dark partner to trigger their own dark behaviour.

Please share your evidence backing that she absolutely knew what Sterns was doing.

@@MM-ik7csit’s her responsibility to protect her daughter!!!

@@MM-ik7cs Several people have spoke about how Jenn was into kinky sex.

@@elizabethchase6528 Because you sleep in the same bed does not equal automatic sex. It was happening, but my question to you was about the evidence that Jennifer knew what was happening.

Either she got the time wrong, which is not far out there, or she did not really see her. NONE of us know the definitive answer to that. It is speculation.

Apparently she didn’t hear the McDonald’s story either

A 13 year old girl got up at 7:15 am & was out the door by 7:30-7:45 “ish?” “We made amazingly good time.”

💯💯

Birds of a feather flock together .Jenn knows a real man wouldn't want her either .

I think on average 19 years .

Or DutyRon. 👍👍👍

@@hollyjolly2066duty Ron sucks.

@@starjazmyn2094I think Grizzly is blah lol

She looked zanyed out

She sure didn’t l!!

He’s making it all up as he goes about the interview and trying to act distraught at the same time. Epic Fail!!!!

Everytime I've heard him say that,I thought Liar!

You know that part stuck put to me too. I guess because this sorry excuse for a human was forcing Maddie to do things, his twisted mind sees it as love.

Exactly and he used “loved” in the past tense. That says it all!

She could have said thanks to him saying “have a good day”. I mean we know that’s not what really happened but IJS she could have been thanking him for wishing her a good day!!!! Which sounds so disgusting knowing what we know now!! Sicko and mom ain’t right either!!

Oh she's absolutely to blame for this. There's no way she didn't know about the abuse.

He strangled her and no bloody crime scene so it's not likely.

@@therealz360z7 I know that now. My comment was three weeks ago.

Or maybe he got her pregnant you never know that could be the motive ...sick

@@kjs7275 I’m with you on this! IMO she might had been & Maddie was about to throw the bomb shell! Maybe she wanted to keep it & he disagreed & moms also knew so they both made a plan!

Yeah. I think he was trying to come up with reasons for why he was driving all around and back and forth. I’m assuming he was either panicking and/or trying to figure out where to put poor maddy 😔

Yes. All I get the place.

He was trying to account for all that time, he l3ft to take her to school 2 hours before it started, he had to make it sound believable not only to police but to Jenn as well. And he had to account for driving 17 minutes away to dump her body

@@athenavan2242 he must have thought they were going to check the mileage then 😂😂😂 Dumb A**!

He did an "accidental " factory reset on his phone..and they still found all the photos!

@robinlynn1319 he isn't the brightess POS ...IMO. He and Jen colluded a story. I served for over 18+ years in Law Enforcement and as a Detective ( in Florida). Jen story is "locked in". She admitted under a sworn affidavit she had last seen Madeline getting dressed at or around 0800. POS was observed around 0735 dumping her pack and laptop in the dumpster. It is unbelievable she would permit her daughter to sleep in another bed, with a adult male. Her two news interviews were disturbing. She shows no empathy for Madeline. She can't remember the first lies told during her first media interview. She's not out actively looking for her daughter. She speaks of Madeline "in the past tense", before she was ever found. Her body language shows deception. There isn't tears running down her face. It's feigned emotion. She shakes during one interview, which shows she is definitely nervous, scared, if the truth comes out. A gofundme is set up for Madeline. It mysteriously is "paused" when it hits $16K. Jen Soto goes into hiding. And allegedly, she retains an attorney. Madeline's real father was notified. He and his wife drive 14hrs from Texas, only stopping for gas. He and his wife showed real emotion. Court documents show he was fighting to obtain custody of Madeline for years and Jen was fighting it every step of the way. I think we all know why. Jen knew POS was SA'ing her daughter. Served her up like a piece of meat " so she wouldn't be alone" ( without a man). Since POS been doing this to Madeline since she was 8 yrs old. He groomed her Mom permitted it. And usually these bastards just don't stop with one child. What happened when he wasn't living with Jen? Are there other victims? Or did he profit by selling the material? Jen right now, has to be scared s***less. It was also reported that the homicide occurred INSIDE the condo. One early report stated Madeline suffered from asphyxiation and blunt force trauma. I have a gut instinct. Madeline fought back. She was not protected in her home. Another disturbing incident with Jen....she didn't attend funeral services for Madeline, she wouldn't meet with Madeline's father to turn over her ashes to him. Why? Because Jen knew she couldn't look him in the eye and face him, knowing what POS and her did to Madeline. I also believe why the homicide occurred...Madeline was going to "spill the beans" what POS and Jen were doing inside the condo. I have a feeling she was going to go to either to her SRO ( school resource Officer) or someone in a position of authority and report what was going on. POS and Jen panicked. There possibly was an argument after Madeline returned home after her birthday party. In a fit of rage and fear, they committed the homicide. They had to silence her. They both knew she could bring both of them down. I could only imagine all the forensic evidence which has been obtained ( besides the 1700 files ) of the material gathered from his phone, his car, her car, and the condo. I hope a day of reckoning will be soon. That poor child suffered for so many years. She wasn't protected by her mother. The truth will definitely come out. I pray for Madeline and hope she obtains justice. She needs to be at peace, where the monsters will no longer hurt her.

Better yet, HTF is mom not at the birthday of her child turning 13 which is a milestone, but a man that is only mom's bf, not family, not a step-father, nothing, is there front and centre? Were they on a date or something? Did mom agree not to go for some reason? Did Maddie finally protest the abuse and threaten to tell? Was she pregnant? Charge those 2 and let the punishment be the harshest possible.

Most of these s a cases seems autopsy are really questionable results,listen to some of these cases horrible,even hospital cover up

I caught that too😂

No one knows if she had anything to do with it. Being an irresponsible mom doesn't mean she was in on murder. If she had anything to do with it her bf likely would've given her up to take the death penalty off of the table for him. I think she just made a lot of bad choices and was desperate for companionship. Not a good mom

So 😆 you think that she never went through the phone

@@MegNotTheStallion True.

@@tiffanyswann4349 I never went though husband phone. It was up in the cloud and he could have hidden that. Chris Watts hid things in his phone from his wife.

I just hope they will put her on under a lot of pressure so she might will come clean about the whole thing poor lil angel didn’t deserve none of this Rip Madeline Soto Harmony Montgomery Bella and Celeste watts So sad we’re witnessing all these lil girls getting killed left and right

the only solstice in this is she knows no more pain. she will never again know pain. monsters sometimes live just a door down the hallway. 💔

When she said that she wanted to go live in the woods, Do you notice that she didn't say that she wanted mom to come along? Maddie was well aware that Jen knew what Stephen was doing to her. It is just so sad that Maddie never got the chance to tell on them.

I told my parents I wanted to live in a bunker and begged them to buy one. Kids say a lot and it doesn't always have some sinister reason.

@@MM-ik7csWhy bother writing?

@@elizabethchase6528 So true. Aileen Wournos gave birth at 13 and actually DID live in the woods instead of her home as a teen. There are unsettling parallels with Madeline Soto. How many other girls are out there right now, thinking that living in the woods would spare them from their home lives.

Wow, that's quite the stretch of your imagination, my dear. I can't see that as something that happened. But, hopefully, if it did happen, it will come out by trial.

We’ve always been here. Humans are animals.

@@WhitneyMerten-hb3tc worst . Animals don’t kill for fun . Animals are far better beings that we are . We are vulgar arrogant and trivial . A disgrace for this beautiful planet .

$50 says Jenn made them leave when she needed a "good night's sleep " is ACTUALLY I kicked them out when he started to get frisky and she couldn't pretend to sleep through it...IMO

How does that equal that she knew he was s8xually abusing her daughter?

@@elizabethchase6528 I had a dream upbringing and I told my parents I wanted to live underground in a bunker, I begged them to buy or build one. It passed. Kids say a lot of stuff.

You're right, we leave by 5:30 am, everyday , and my 3-year-old toddler always points at McDonald's, even when he's half asleep, clutching his bottle in one hand and a hash brown in the other hand.

@@Grammichal Are you paying my mortgage and bills? If not, mind your own business and don't worry about how I raise my child. Stay in your lane! People like you just want to stir up trouble and make snide comments to boost your own ego. Congratulations, you've managed to do just that. 👏🏼

Thank you !!

Bipolar disorder doesn’t explain why Jenn would allow Maddie to sleep in the same bed as her boyfriend. Many people have this disorder and don’t allow their child to be abused.

​@@nicoleb81Exactly what kind of sick person would allow that.

The other terrible angle to these cases, is that he doesn't care, another child can and will easily fill the gap, now that Maddy aged out, IF he did not kill her. To these men, children are prey, a target, something to use, thereby they are always in danger around this type of paedo. No chance that he will feel empathy and think that he should not, the urge surpasses all good sense.

scott peterson vibes.

It was the only excuse he could come up with for the whole drop off at church lie . Another lie to cover up yet another lie.

And what transpired to cause him or her to kill her

Deflecting from the truth

Did he say that in this interview? Omg he’s a monster!! I don’t hear him say that here. Not that it wasn’t said but i honestly missed him saying it. He’s the worst!!

Many males STOP abusing the girls at puberty- it’s all ghastly but most don’t murder.

The murder charge doesn't include the unlawful termination of a foetus so no, reports infer she was not pregnant.

​@@TwistedSister1234would they be keeping that quiet for some reason? Can they charge him later for that or does it have to be charged at same time? This whole thing is sickening.

And, how'd he get her body in the car without being seen on camera? There were cameras at that apartment complex, right? I could be remembering incorrectly.

​@@doxiesrule21yes !!! Your right .... I do not understand, unless there will be another trove of evidence released . There has to be surveillance coming out of that house with her. Has to be!

That’s what I was thinking! Could it be possible she was never in the house? Maybe he killed her after the party somewhere else, left her wherever that was for the night, had to get home before the mom did, played it off like she was sleeping, and then went back the next morning to get rid of the body?

@@doxiesrule21 iMO I think he unlived her rt after her bday either in the car or else where & left her in the car then took her where she was found.. thats my theory.. 😢 he never took her inside the home.. he then told monster #2 (mom) of what he did and they planned there lies!!

Definitely gross what he made Madeline do to his member. I guess the police had to look at that too and look at his member. I didn't know he had a birthmark on it this is the first time I heard about that. I know they were saying that something different was about it. I Didn't know it was a birthmark Sick f***

The mom identified it.. yet she didn’t want to believe the sexual abuse photos..
