We all dream. Every night. Whether we remember them or not. And maybe — just maybe — those dreams aren’t random, ridiculous, or irrelevant. Maybe they’re trying to tell us something we’re too distracted, too busy, or too burned out to hear while we’re awake. Here to help us decode the language of dreams is Dr. Bonnie Buckner — founder of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery®, executive coach, faculty director at GWU’s Center for Excellence in Public Leadership, and author of The Secret Mind: Unlock the Power of Your Dreams to Transform Your Life . She’s spent her career teaching people how to use dreaming and imagery for personal growth, leadership, and creative breakthroughs . We explore: Why your dreams are worth paying attention to (even the weird ones) The science and strategy behind using dreams for personal development How feelings and subconscious wisdom can point to answers What to do if you don’t remember your dreams Why slowing down might be the key to speeding up your clarity Because what if the clarity you're chasing isn't out there — it's already in you, waiting for you to slow down, shut off, and tune in?

Live Courtroom Audio: Stephan Sterns Pleads Guilty (No Contest) To Maddie Soto's Murder & Abuse Stephan Sterns is officially going to die in prison. He pleaded no contest to the murder of 13-year-old Maddie Soto and guilty to a devastating series of sex crimes—eight counts of capital sexual battery, multiple counts of sexual abuse, and lewd molestation. It was a courtroom heavy with grief, rage, and unhealed wounds. But one person was conspicuously silent. In this episode, we take you inside the courtroom where Sterns faced the consequences of his horrific crimes—and where Jennifer Soto, Maddie’s own mother, neither spoke nor was mentioned as a participant. While family after family member delivered gut-wrenching victim impact statements, Jennifer stayed out of sight. So now that Sterns has taken the plea deal, will Jennifer Soto finally be held accountable? Prosecutors no longer need her as a witness. There's no trial. No risk of her pleading the Fifth. Just a pile of deeply disturbing facts that paint a picture of a mother who ignored—or accepted—clear red flags. We walk through: The full breakdown of the plea agreement and sentencing Maddie’s family confronting Sterns with heartbreak and fury The legal implications of Sterns’ no contest plea And the question: Does this now open the door for charges against Jennifer Soto? We also highlight shocking court admissions—like the fact that Maddie’s mom allowed her to sleep in the same bed as Sterns, and her previous police statement claiming the “sex stuff wasn’t evil.” How does that not rise to criminal neglect? This episode is not just about one man’s sentencing—it’s about what happens next in the pursuit of full justice for Maddie Soto. 🎧 Listen now to Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski.

In today’s episode, we take you inside the Osceola County courtroom where Stephan Sterns—the man who raped and murdered 13-year-old Maddie Soto—pleaded guilty to a laundry list of charges. Sterns accepted a life sentence without the possibility of parole in exchange for avoiding the death penalty. But while he faces justice behind bars, one haunting question remains: Why has Maddie’s mother, Jennifer Soto, never been charged? We unpack every detail from the plea hearing: the heartbreaking victim impact statements, the devastating timeline, and the judge’s chilling words as Sterns was sentenced. But perhaps the most glaring moment? The silence from Jennifer Soto. No statement. No appearance. No visible grief in the courtroom for the daughter she failed to protect. This episode goes beyond the courtroom. We break down: What Jennifer Soto admitted to police. Why she allowed Sterns to routinely sleep in the same bed as Maddie. Her infamous comment that the “sex stuff wasn’t evil.” Why prosecutors didn’t charge her— yet —and whether the plea deal now opens that door. We also examine the public outcry demanding accountability and the disturbing legal gray zone between neglect and criminality. Is it time for Florida prosecutors to revisit their stance on Soto now that Sterns’ case is closed? Or will she walk away, untouched by the justice system but stained in the court of public opinion? You won’t want to miss this in-depth breakdown of the courtroom moment that left as many questions as answers—and the mother at the center of it all. Listen now to "Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski."

Justice For Maddie Soto: Big Breakdown Of Stephan Sterns Jail Calls Part 2 In this follow-up episode, we continue dissecting the disturbing phone conversations Stephan Sterns held with his parents over nearly three weeks after his arrest. Call 2 delves into his shifting explanations—he vacillates between describing the event as “an accident,” citing PTSD from finding Maddie’s body, and repeating “no one’s to blame,” all while maintaining a tone of rational detachment . We also pull insights from Call 9, where his parents probe deeply, asking “Were you ever abused?” This raw and revealing question shines light on the family’s desperation and Sterns’ own defensiveness . The interaction in Call 2 is marked by emotional collapse—his family oscillates between support, denial, and pleading—and underlines their struggle to reconcile personal loyalty with growing suspicion . We investigate emerging evidence: discussion of autopsy results, allegations of Internet-fueled rumors and conspiracy theories directed at others . With each call, Sterns becomes more introspective—mentioning faith, redemption, and the possibility of his own forgiveness, hinting at complex emotional and moral reckoning. This episode shows a man grappling with legal terror and emotional breakdown, his parents’ anguish mirrored in the audio, revealing a family in public breakdown. We conclude with questions on how these recorded conversations might shape public opinion and courtroom strategy moving forward.

Justice For Maddie Soto: Big Breakdown Of Stephan Sterns Jail Calls Part 1 Description: This episode begins our in-depth examination of the jailhouse phone calls made by Stephan Sterns following his arrest in connection to the March 1, 2024, death of 13‑year‑old Madeline “Maddie” Soto in Osceola County, Florida. In Part 1, we focus on the first clips released—especially Call 1—where Sterns expresses a surprisingly calm demeanor, casually noting he’s been shifted between pods and that he missed his mother’s birthday . The episode plays out the shock and uncertainty as he informs his parents of the first-degree murder charge for Maddie’s death . We explore the context: Sterns was initially arrested on suspicion of sexual abuse shortly after Maddie’s body was discovered, and indictment on first‑degree murder charges followed two months later . As police review the secluded wooded area where Maddie was found, detectives are also digging into digital evidence, including Sterns’ phone and online activity . We break down his emotional tone—his detachment, his tone of denial—and how it contrasts sharply with the anguish of the grieving family and a community in shock. Sterns’ initial framing of the incident as “snapping” hints at admission of guilt, but also reveals scapegoating behavior. By exploring public records and the content of that first call, this episode lays the groundwork for deeper psychological insight into Sterns, while assessing how his statements will affect legal strategy and public perception. Join us for the first step into the shocking audio evidence.

Stephan Sterns Jail House Calls – Call 9: “Were You Abused?” – Parents Search for Answers in Madeline Soto Case This is one of the most heartbreaking and revealing calls in the series. Stephan’s mother, choking back emotion, asks the question many parents fear but feel compelled to ask: “Were you ever abused?” She’s searching. For answers. For blame. For something that explains how her son could be involved in something as devastating as the murder of Madeline Soto. Stephan gives vague, unclear answers about early experiences, but nothing conclusive. This call dives into the psychology of trauma, and how families try to rewrite their history to survive the present. #MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #JailhouseCalls #ChildhoodTrauma #ParentalGrief #TrueCrimeInvestigation #JusticeForMadeline #AbuseAndCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Stephan Sterns Jail House Calls – Call 8: Puppies, Root Beer & the Shadow of Madeline Soto’s Murder While his mother tends to a dog giving birth, Stephan talks about root beer barrel candy, commissary price hikes, and snack strategy. You’d never guess this is a man accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl. But that’s what makes this call so unsettling. It’s quiet. Casual. And profoundly disturbing. Because in the background of this light conversation is the death of Madeline Soto — a tragedy no one can face directly. This is what emotional dissociation sounds like.

Stephan Sterns Jail House Calls – Call 7: Religious Reflection or Avoidance? Faith & the Madeline Soto Case In Call 7, Stephan turns heavily to scripture. He talks about Exodus, redemption, forgiveness — but not about Madeline Soto. His mother references Romans. His father jokes about vending machine coffee. It’s a coping mechanism, a refuge in routine and belief. But the deeper truth is this: faith, in this moment, isn’t helping anyone face reality. It’s being used to explain away what happened to Madeline Soto without ever saying her name. This episode asks: is faith helping this family heal? Or is it helping them avoid the darkest parts of the truth? #MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #FaithAndCrime #BibleInJail #TrueCrimePsychology #Avoidance #ReligiousDenial #JusticeForMadeline Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

His parents, though visibly shaken, try to stay calm — but you can hear the heartbreak crack through. Stephan explains that his attorneys are assembling a team. His mother distracts herself by cooking ravioli. His father begins thinking through legal paperwork. But the shadow of death — and the death of Madeline Soto — looms over everything.

Stephan Sterns Jail House Calls – Call 5: Saltines and Silence – Life Inside While Facing Madeline Soto Murder Charges How does someone accused of murdering a child talk about saltine crackers and reading glasses as if nothing happened? That’s exactly what unfolds in this surreal fifth call between Stephan Sterns and his parents. As his parents express financial stress and emotional fatigue, Stephan discusses his favorite jail snacks, mackerel cans, and silicone chess pieces. Beneath the surface, there are flickers of something deeper. Stephan mentions “regret” — though it's unclear whether it’s for the crime, the consequences, or just being caught. The case of Madeline Soto continues to hang over everything, unspoken and massive. His parents are still trying to hold their son close while reality pushes him further away. #MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #JailhouseConversations #TrueCrimeSurrealism #MurderCharges #FamilyGrief #SaltinesAndGuilt #JusticeForMadeline Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Stephan Sterns Jail House Calls – Call 4: Parents Push Back Against Madeline Soto Allegations and Online Attacks Call 4 shows a family under siege. Stephan’s parents begin attacking former roommates and YouTubers who have come forward with disturbing claims. They’re furious — not at Stephan, but at those who say they saw warning signs. As the Madeline Soto case gains national attention, his parents begin to defend his character and question the motives of anyone who dares to speak out. But Stephan doesn’t deny much. Instead, he calmly confirms some details, counters others, and maintains his innocence in a way that feels rehearsed. His parents spiral into conspiracy, suggesting that people are out for attention or money. This call isn’t just about blame — it’s about self-preservation. And the Madeline Soto murder case is becoming more than just a legal battle. It’s turning into a public unraveling. #MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #JusticeForMadeline #FamilyUnderFire #OnlineSleuths #TrueCrimeDebate #JailCalls #ParentalDefense #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Stephan Sterns Jail House Calls – Call 3: "I Didn’t Know She Was Gone" – Chilling Details in Madeline Soto’s Death This call is a turning point. Stephan Sterns tells his parents that he didn’t realize Madeline Soto had died until hours after it happened. He speaks about discovering her cold body with an alarming lack of emotion. He blames being “up and down” during the night, leaving the room, wandering around, and never checking on her until it was far too late. His father quietly presses for details, trying to understand how something so horrifying could happen without Stephan noticing. The responses are murky, defensive, and incomplete. Stephan paints himself as a witness to tragedy — not a participant. But the facts suggest otherwise. This call is when the veil starts to lift. The cracks in Stephan’s version of events begin to show. The weight of Madeline Soto’s murder finally begins to press down on his family. #MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #JailCalls #TrueCrimePodcast #ChillingConfession #FamilyGrief #JusticeForMadeline #MurderInvestigation Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Stephan Sterns Jail House Calls – Call 2: Autopsy Report Details & Internet Allegations in Madeline Soto Case Call 2 picks up with Stephan Sterns sounding calm and upbeat, despite being in jail for the murder of Madeline Soto. He brings up the autopsy report — not in fear, but with a disturbing degree of detachment. His mother quickly shuts down further discussion, likely sensing how legally dangerous any comment could be. Meanwhile, Stephan’s father reveals rumors that are now spreading online. Former roommates, dark web activity, disturbing internet searches — all reportedly linked to Stephan. The family begins discussing his items, like a watch hidden in a toy box, as if those physical things could restore normalcy. But the horror of the Madeline Soto murder case creeps into every sentence. This call reveals a family teetering between denial and emotional collapse, searching for something — anything — that makes this nightmare make sense. #StephanSterns #MadelineSoto #DarkWeb #AutopsyReport #JailhouseCalls #TrueCrimeCommunity #InternetSleuths #JusticeForMadeline #FamilyDenial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this emotionally raw first jailhouse phone call, Stephan Sterns reaches out to his parents following his arrest for the murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto. His voice is calm — too calm — as he explains that he’s been moved between jail pods and placed on lockdown, casually mentioning that he missed his mother’s birthday. Then, in a moment that stops everything cold, he tells them about the first-degree murder charge. What follows is a gut-wrenching conversation in which Stephan's parents oscillate between disbelief, confusion, and protective instinct. Stephan downplays the accusations, stating that they’re “artificially inflating” charges. His parents, clearly struggling, begin clinging to logistics — looking for his social security card, discussing paperwork, and mentioning future birthdays he might not be there for. This is the beginning of a horrifying journey. The beginning of Madeline Soto’s story, told from the inside. #TrueCrime #MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #JailhouseCalls #MurderInvestigation #FamilyInDenial #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForMadeline #JailCalls Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

"I Found Her Like That": Jailhouse Calls Expose Stephan Sterns' Shifting Story In Soto Case STEPHAN STERNS: “I wish I had run downstairs and shaken her awake and called 911 and all that.” That line—staggering in its simplicity—is one of the first real cracks in the story Stephan Sterns has told from the very beginning. It came during a jailhouse call with his parents, and it was a total deviation from what he’s claimed all along: that he dropped off 13-year-old Madeline Soto at school the morning of February 26, 2024, and never saw her again. But now, months after his arrest, locked in the Osceola County jail and speaking a little too freely, Sterns admitted something huge—he found Madeline’s body. He was there. He saw her face, her blue lips. Her ice-cold skin. His words were calm, almost rehearsed. Like he was recounting a scene in a book he’d read, not describing the death of a child he'd allegedly assaulted and murdered. “She had gone to be with me earlier in the night,” he told his father. “But I’d left her alone for quite a while... By the time I realized it was far too late... she was past the point of no return.” That’s the first time Sterns has publicly acknowledged being in the same house with Madeline at the time of her death. It’s also the first time he’s stopped pretending he wasn’t. In these four hours of recorded jail calls—recently obtained by Court TV—we hear Sterns move from denial to vague admissions, surrounded by justifications, sidesteps, and increasingly disturbing commentary. It’s like eavesdropping on a man who can’t quite decide whether he wants to clear his name or just shift the blame somewhere more convenient. The calls, made about three months after his arrest, are with his parents—Debra and Chris Sterns. And while they start off as the kind of supportive, if awkward, chats you’d expect from shell-shocked parents trying to hold it together, they quickly devolve into something else: uncomfortable reminders of what Stephan Sterns is accused of. When they bring up the digital evidence—the sexually explicit images of Madeline found on his phone—his response isn’t what you’d expect from someone who claims innocence. When asked directly if he’s attracted to minors, he doesn’t say no. He says he isn’t “generally” attracted to them. He adds that he can’t say more without incriminating himself. Then he makes this chilling remark: that Madeline had “feelings” for him. And that her mother, Jenn Soto, used to joke: “You better not leave me for my daughter when she’s older.” Jenn Soto hasn’t been charged with anything related to Madeline’s abuse or death. She says she didn’t know it was happening. But she did allow her daughter to sleep in the same bed as Sterns, something she’s admitted. Sterns’ calls are full of odd priorities. While facing over 60 counts of sexual abuse, capital murder, and possession of child sexual abuse material, he spends a surprising amount of time venting about itchy blankets, bad coffee, and jailhouse ants. He’s worried about the effects of jail on his skin. He complains about anxiety meds, wants better lotion for his worry lines, and he misses his collectible purple dragon popcorn bucket. He’s genuinely concerned about the whereabouts of his “mouse droid”—a Star Wars-themed toy—and gets so irritated trying to explain what it is that he tells his parents to just “Google it.” Then there’s the coffee. Coffee is crucial. “Coffee is very comforting,” he says. “Every time I drink a cup of coffee it releases all types of happy chemicals in my brain.” He asks for Michael Crichton novels, toiletries, hard candies. His mother draws the line at “Pet Sematary” because she didn’t like the story. The emotional whiplash in these calls is constant—one minute, Sterns is waxing poetic about the joys of instant coffee, and the next, he’s defending himself from the kind of charges that can end in a needle. His parents plead with him to read the Bible. He tells them he’s not a monster. He cries at movies. He’s a good person, he insists. “I know I’m not bad, evil or a monster,” he says. “I couldn’t have done it.” But then, he admits: “Murder one is about as bad as it can get. And the death penalty is about as extreme as it can go.” And a moment later: “I guess that’s not so bad, right? You go to sleep, and then you go to heaven.” It’s the kind of thing you say when you’ve already accepted what’s coming. Sterns’ legal journey is far from over. His first trial—for the sex abuse charges—is scheduled for May. The murder trial is set for September. Earlier this week, his defense team tried to get the judge to bar media and the public from pre-trial hearings, claiming that the coverage is prejudicial. The judge says a decision is coming within 10 days. But with jailhouse calls like these—where the defendant admits to finding the victim’s body, where he dances around horrifying evidence, and where his biggest concern is coffee and collectibles—it may not be the press that paints the clearest picture of Stephan Sterns. #MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #TrueCrimePodcast #JailhouseTapes Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this gripping deep dive, we explore the disturbing details surrounding the murder of 13-year-old Madeline “Maddie” Soto and the man accused of killing her—Stephan Sterns. Through newly released 2025 jailhouse phone calls between Sterns and his parents, we hear the chilling moment he admits to finding Maddie’s lifeless body and discusses her death in hauntingly casual terms. With the public now hearing his voice for the first time, Sterns' words paint a disturbing picture of regret, denial, and a fatal awareness of the death penalty he may soon face. This episode examines how those calls flipped the case upside down. We’ll also break down the latest forensic evidence revealed by investigators, including the cadaver dog alert in Sterns’ car and surveillance footage that prosecutors say disproves his original alibi. Combined with the digital evidence pulled from Sterns’ phone and Google accounts—allegedly containing years of sexually abusive material involving Maddie—the case against him has only grown stronger. Hear how the prosecution is building a timeline they believe proves premeditated murder and how Sterns’ own shifting story may be his downfall. Finally, we look ahead to the courtroom battles already in motion—from defense motions to suppress key evidence to the fight over whether this capital case should play out in public or behind closed doors. With the murder trial scheduled for later this year and the state pushing hard for the death penalty, the Maddie Soto case continues to unravel in ways no one saw coming.

The Psychology of a Manipulator; Robin Dreeke on How Stephan Sterns Groomed Trust What kind of person can look you in the eye, swear they’ve done nothing wrong, and actually believe it? Welcome to the twisted world of Stefan Stearns, the man at the center of the horrifying case of 13-year-old Madeline Soto. Investigators didn’t have to work too hard to follow his trail—it was practically lit up with neon signs, from self-incriminating digital evidence to surveillance footage that paints a grim picture. But what really makes this case stand out isn’t just the heinous crimes—it’s the chilling way Stearns seemingly rationalizes his actions. Retired FBI Special Agent and behavioral expert Robin Dreeke breaks down the mind of a manipulator, diving into how predators like Stearns justify the unthinkable. From disturbing interrogation tactics to the unsettling way he deflects responsibility, we explore how investigators crack the mindset of a man who truly believes his own lies. But here’s the real question: Can someone like this even recognize that what they’re doing is evil, or are they just playing a different game altogether? #MadelineSoto #StefanStearns #TrueCrime #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #HiddenKillers #CrimeInvestigation Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Could a legal technicality allow an alleged child predator and murderer to walk free? That’s the chilling question in the case of Stephan Sterns, accused of murdering 13-year-old Maddie Soto and facing 60 additional child sex crime charges. With prosecutors seeking the death penalty, the defense is scrambling to suppress critical evidence—including damning cell phone data—arguing that law enforcement overstepped legal boundaries. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins to dissect the courtroom battle. Did investigators make a fatal mistake by skipping a warrant, or will the severity of the alleged crimes overshadow any procedural missteps? And then there's Maddie’s mother, Jen Soto—who once defended Sterns but now calls him a “master liar.” Was she just another one of his victims, or is she trying to protect herself from potential charges? And the most disturbing twist yet—another person in Maddie’s life, a teacher, has now been charged with child sex crimes. Is this a horrifying coincidence, or are we looking at a much larger and more sinister web of predators? #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #JusticeForMaddie #LegalLoopholes #ChildPredators #CrimeInvestigation #DarkTruth Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Defense Seeks Secrecy in Trial of Osceola Man Accused of Killing Madeline Soto Attorneys for Stephan Sterns, the Osceola County man accused of murdering 13-year-old Madeline Soto and facing more than 60 child sex abuse charges, have filed a series of motions in court, including a request to close all pretrial proceedings to the public. Sterns, who remains in custody, is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on April 23, with a trial date set for May 5. The new motions filed this week by his legal team aim to limit public and media access to case proceedings, citing concerns about potential jury bias. The case has attracted widespread attention, given the disturbing allegations against Sterns. Prosecutors have accused him of extensive child sex abuse crimes in addition to the murder of Madeline Soto, a case that has shaken the Osceola County community. Legal experts say closing pretrial proceedings is an uncommon request and could spark debate about transparency in the judicial process. "This is a case that has deeply impacted the public, and restricting access to court proceedings could raise concerns about accountability," said former prosecutor Lisa Carter. However, defense attorneys argue that intense media coverage could jeopardize Sterns’ right to a fair trial. "The court has an obligation to ensure due process is protected," Sterns' legal team stated in their filing. Public reaction to the motion has been mixed, with many demanding transparency in a case involving child victims. "We need to know what's happening in that courtroom," said local resident Maria Delgado. "Justice for Madeline should be seen, not hidden behind closed doors." The brutal murder of Madeline Soto and the horrific allegations against Sterns have led to widespread outrage, with community members calling for the maximum penalty if he is convicted. Prosecutors have not disclosed whether they will seek the death penalty. With the trial date approaching, all eyes remain on how the court will rule on Sterns’ motions and whether the proceedings will remain open to the public. #JusticeForMadeline #OsceolaCrime #ChildSafety #CourtroomSecrecy #LegalDebate #BreakingNews #FloridaCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Sheriff Marcos Lopez Added to Brady List Over Controversial Statements in Madeline Soto Case Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez has been added to the Brady List by Andrew Bain, former Orange-Osceola state attorney, following conflicting statements Lopez made about a crime scene photo in the case of 13-year-old Madeline Soto. The Brady List is a tool used to notify legal parties when a witness’s credibility or truthfulness may be in doubt, potentially affecting court proceedings. In a December 30 letter, Bain informed Lopez of his inclusion on the list due to inconsistent explanations about a photo of Soto's body that was mistakenly posted on social media. The move could have significant implications for the death penalty case against Stephen Sterns, accused of Soto’s murder, where Lopez is listed as a witness. The controversy began in July 2024 when Bain warned Lopez that he might be added to the Brady List. Lopez initially told Kissimmee’s police chief and the public that the photo was posted by mistake, issuing an apology. However, during a radio interview with WDBO, Lopez stated, “As to the photo, there was an apology issued but it wasn’t actually the body, it was an area of interest where there was a body found. No one ever came out directly and said it was the victim.” Days later, in a sworn interview with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Lopez acknowledged having the photo sent to his phone to compare the clothing on the body with what Soto was last seen wearing. Bain flagged these discrepancies as problematic for Lopez’s credibility. In the December letter, Bain also criticized an internal memorandum from the Osceola Sheriff’s Office that exonerated Lopez, stating it lacked objectivity and bypassed formal investigative protocols. “Adopting the reading the Memo does in this case suggests the Osceola Sheriff’s Office does not care if an employee or member is truthful when answering questions outside the chain of command or, say, to the media. I cannot believe that is the case,” Bain wrote. Bain further argued that Lopez’s statement to WDBO appeared to downplay the incident and shift blame. He wrote, “To be clear, the concerning statement in your interview is your assertion that ‘[n]o one ever came out directly and said it [the photograph] was the victim.’ When viewed in this proper context, it is hard to read your immediate answer as anything but an attempt to claim the photo you posted was not the victim in an attempt to lessen your public responsibility for a violation of Florida public records laws.” In addition to being added to the Brady List, Lopez was fined $250 last month for violating Florida’s public records laws in connection with the photo’s disclosure. Bain emphasized that the conflicting statements could be used to impeach Lopez’s credibility as a witness in Sterns’ trial. The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office responded to Bain’s decision with a statement: “The Sheriff’s Office completely disagrees with Andrew Bain’s decision. The perspectives mentioned in his letter have no merit, and the Sheriff will be appealing his decision. No other statement is available at this time.” The Brady List designation places added scrutiny on Lopez and his role in the high-profile case. The decision also underscores ongoing concerns about accountability and transparency within law enforcement as Soto’s family seeks justice. #BradyList #AndrewBain #MarcosLopez #MadelineSoto #OsceolaSheriff #PublicRecords #FloridaLaw Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

New details have emerged in the case of Stephan Sterns, accused of murdering 13-year-old Madeline "Maddie" Soto. A recent interview with a female roommate, who shared the house with Maddie and her mother Jenn Soto, sheds light on Sterns' odd behavior in the days leading up to Maddie's disappearance, according to audio obtained by FOX 35. The roommate described the relationship between Maddie and Sterns as a close "father-daughter" connection, although Sterns was not biologically related to her. He was the boyfriend of Maddie’s mother, Jenn Soto, and occasionally stayed at their residence in Kissimmee. Despite their close bond, the roommate said she noticed Sterns acting unusually in the days before Maddie went missing. According to the woman, she remembered hearing strange noises from Sterns' room one evening. “The noise lasted until at least I fell asleep,” she recalled during the interview. She also noted that Sterns had taken to doing laundry—a rare occurrence, she observed—and was seen with various power tools, including a hammer, for a project he didn’t disclose to anyone. "She noticed something odd about him because of the way he was moving around the house," the woman explained in Spanish, which was later translated by an interpreter. She mentioned that Jenn Soto had questioned Sterns about the tools, but he offered only vague responses, stating he was working on an unspecified project. Kissimmee police have since revealed even more disturbing details as part of the investigation. Detectives informed the woman during their interview that nude photographs of her were found on Sterns' phone. Authorities allege that Sterns used a hidden camera beneath the woman’s bedroom door to capture these images without her knowledge. She was asked to verify the photos, and after some hesitation, she reportedly confirmed their authenticity. "I take that as a ‘yes,’” one detective remarked after she paused, seemingly stunned by the revelation. The woman admitted that the discovery of these photos fundamentally changed her perception of Sterns. "Prior to seeing these photos, she couldn’t believe he could do something or hurt Maddie. Now, seeing these photos—yeah, he’s capable of anything, obviously," the detective translated, summarizing her reaction. Despite these findings, authorities have yet to file additional charges against Sterns related to the unauthorized photos of the roommate. Whether charges will be added for this alleged invasion of privacy remains unclear. Meanwhile, in newly released footage, detectives can be seen questioning both Maddie’s mother, Jenn Soto, and Sterns. While Jenn Soto defended Sterns at times during her interrogation, detectives expressed doubts that he acted alone. They were particularly skeptical after showing her photographs that allegedly captured abuse inflicted on her daughter. Stephan Sterns has been formally charged with first-degree murder in connection with Maddie Soto’s death. He also faces 60 counts related to sex abuse, following the discovery of explicit images of Maddie in a Google Drive linked to his cell phone. Sterns has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the horrifying new developments in the tragic case of Madeline Soto. Jailhouse recordings reveal Stephan Sterns—charged with her murder and 60 counts of sexual abuse—expressing disbelief at the accusations. But investigators have uncovered chilling details that paint a much darker picture. From years of abuse that began when Madeline was only eight, to troubling new evidence of Sterns’ predatory behavior, the story becomes more disturbing with every revelation. We also examine Jennifer Soto’s unsettling role in the case—her refusal to act, her bizarre defense of the abuse, and her failure to protect her daughter. With the state seeking the death penalty and the trial set for 2025, this episode offers a deep dive into the investigation, the systemic failures, and the unanswered questions surrounding Madeline’s tragic death.

In this emotionally charged episode we examine the heartbreaking case of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, a young girl whose disappearance and tragic murder in early 2024 shook the Kissimmee community to its core. The man accused of taking her life is Stephan Sterns, her mother’s long-time boyfriend. What investigators uncovered following her death was far more than a simple missing person’s case. Sterns is now accused of years of horrifying sexual abuse, meticulously documented in over 1,500 disturbing images and videos found on his phone. As Sterns faces two pivotal trials in 2025—one in February for multiple counts of sexual battery and possession of child pornography, and another in September for Madeline’s murder—the community waits for justice to be served. Through detailed accounts, interviews, and police findings, this episode delves deep into the complex and unsettling home life Madeline endured, her relationship with Sterns, and the chilling evidence that points to years of abuse that went unnoticed. Join us as we explore the intricate details of this devastating case and the legal battles that lie ahead, uncovering how one young girl’s life was tragically cut short by someone who should have protected her.

The Murder Of Maddie Soto

How does a mother rationalize the abuse of her own child? For Madeline Soto, the answer seems to be disassociation—compartmentalizing the horrors happening right under her roof. When confronted with undeniable evidence that her boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, allegedly abused and groomed her daughter, Soto’s reaction is nothing short of chilling. In this interrogation, Soto shows clear emotional disconnect, rubbing her hands as though trying to wipe away the guilt, while Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent, analyzes the trauma that led her to this moment. Could years of alleged abuse in her own life explain her lack of action, or is something deeper at play? And ultimately, does that excuse her from responsibility? #MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #ChildAbuse #Disassociation #Trauma #TrueCrime #Podcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How do you respond when shown undeniable evidence of abuse involving your own child? Apparently, if you're Madeline Soto, you prioritize your partner—Stephan Sterns—over your daughter's safety. Even after being shown explicit images of assault involving her daughter, Soto’s first thought was to protect Sterns, telling his father to get him a lawyer. In this chilling conversation with police, the emotional disconnect and disturbing rationalizations take center stage. Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent, breaks down the dark psychology behind Soto's behavior, exploring how trauma bonding and disassociation might have played a role in her twisted loyalties. But here's the real question: Should she be held accountable for her actions, or is she just another victim of her own brokenness? #MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #ChildAbuse #TraumaBonding #TrueCrime #ParentalNeglect #Podcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Is denial enough to excuse a mother for failing to protect her child from alleged abuse and murder? In this chilling episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive deep into the disturbing case of Stephan Sterns, who allegedly abused and murdered 13-year-old Madeline Soto just one day after her birthday. The evidence, including graphic photos and a calm, cold interrogation, paints a horrific picture. While Sterns’ traumatic brain injuries are being pointed to by some, can they really explain away such monstrous actions? Meanwhile, Jennifer Soto, Madeline’s mother, remains an enigma—how could someone who saw the abuse first hand still instinctively protect Sterns? Shavaun Scott explores the psychology behind denial, emotional dependence, and why some parents fail to act when their children are in danger. But the biggest question remains: Is Jennifer Soto truly blind to the horror that happened under her own roof, or is there something much darker hiding behind her excuses? #StephanSterns #MadelineSoto #JenniferSoto #TrueCrime #ChildAbuse #Denial #TonyBrueski Follow Our Other Cases: https://www.truecrimetodaypod.com The latest on The Downfall of Diddy, The Trial of Karen Read, The Murder Of Maddie Soto, Catching the Long Island Serial Killer, Awaiting Admission: BTK’s Unconfessed Crimes, Delphi Murders: Inside the Crime, Chad & Lori Daybell, The Murder of Ana Walshe, Alex Murdaugh, Bryan Kohberger, Lucy Letby, Kouri Richins, Malevolent Mormon Mommys, Justice for Harmony Montgomery, The Murder of Stephen Smith, The Murder of Madeline Kingsbury, The Murder Of Sandra Birchmore, and much more!

How does someone remain so calm after being accused of unimaginable crimes? Stephan Sterns, charged with the sexual abuse and alleged murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, didn’t seem fazed at all when shown disturbing evidence against him. It’s as if he was discussing what to have for lunch instead of being exposed as a predator. Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the chilling psychology of Sterns—his botched attempt to wipe incriminating evidence, his apparent narcissism, and whether his traumatic brain injuries could explain any of his monstrous behavior. And then there’s Jennifer Soto, Madeline’s mother, who repeatedly chose to protect Stearns over her daughter, even after seeing clear evidence of his abuse. Was she truly that blind, or is there something far more twisted at play? What would make a mother turn a blind eye to her child’s suffering? # StephanSterns #MadelineSoto #ChildAbuse #Psychology #TraumaticBrainInjury #TrueCrime #TonyBrueski Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the podcast episode of Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the complexities surrounding Stephan Stern, who is accused of abusing Maddie Soto, and the role of his parents in his development. Scott points out that while Stern’s parents appeared pragmatic and brutally honest about their son, describing him as manipulative and troubled, they also enabled his dysfunctional lifestyle by providing financial support, such as paying his bills. She highlights the challenges of raising a child like Stern, who had special education needs and likely required more resources than the family could access. Scott also touches on the difficulty of distinguishing between helping and enabling someone who is incapable of functioning independently. In addition, the episode explores whether companies like Disney, where both Stern and Jen Soto worked, should implement more rigorous psychological testing to screen employees working with children, given the potential risks. Scott emphasizes that it would be beneficial to conduct more thorough background checks and screenings, particularly for jobs involving vulnerable populations. - Stephan Stern’s parents openly acknowledged his manipulative behavior but enabled his lifestyle by continuing financial support. - Stern’s developmental issues may have been exacerbated by a lack of access to appropriate resources during his upbringing. - Scott discusses the difficulty in balancing help with enabling someone incapable of functioning as an adult. - The conversation suggests that companies working with children, such as Disney, should adopt more stringent psychological screening for employees. - Predators often gravitate toward environments with children, making rigorous background checks essential for safety. #StephanStern #MaddieSoto #PsychologicalScreening #ChildSafety #HiddenKillers #ShavaunScott #EmployeeBackgroundChecks Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Newly released video footage captures the intense interrogation of Jennifer Soto and Stephan Sterns by deputies investigating the disappearance of 13-year-old Madeline Soto. The footage underscores the urgency and seriousness of the investigation as law enforcement seeks to uncover the truth about the missing girl. "Do you have any idea of where she could be?" a detective pressed Sterns, who was expected to take Madeline to school on the day she vanished. Sterns, visibly anxious, responded, "No. None at all. No." As the interrogation unfolded, deputies revealed a critical piece of evidence: Madeline's backpack had been found in the trash. "Well, I can confidently tell you she did not go to school with her backpack," the investigator stated. Sterns, taken aback, asked, "How’s that?" The detective explained, "Because we found it in the trash. So, I’m pleading with you to dig down and do some soul-searching." Sterns was taken into custody, and deputies conducted a forensic examination, removing his clothing for evidence. The video shows him sitting in handcuffs, visibly shaken, before being led out. With the pressure mounting, Sterns ultimately requested an attorney, prompting deputies to end the questioning. Shortly thereafter, he was arrested. "Do you want to know what you’re being detained for?" the detective inquired, revealing the serious charges against him: "Capital sexual battery and possession of child pornography." In a separate interview, Jennifer Soto expressed her emotional turmoil as she recounted the day she learned her daughter was missing. "Can I get a tissue?" she asked, her voice trembling. "At some point, I emailed one of the teachers asking if she made it to class. I checked her attendance, and she didn’t make it at all," she explained. During her interview, deputies also questioned Soto about her awareness of any abuse Madeline may have faced. "If I knew what to tell you, I would tell you. I don’t know anything," she replied, conveying her confusion and heartache. Currently, only Sterns has been charged in connection with Madeline's disappearance, leaving many questions unanswered for the family and the community. The investigation is ongoing, with Sterns scheduled to appear in court on October 14. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the background of Stephan Stern, accused of abusing Maddie Soto, based on an interview with his parents. The conversation explores Stern’s traumatic brain injury from being run over by a truck at a young age, which Scott believes stunted his neurodevelopment, leading to issues with impulsiveness, judgment, and manipulation. His parents describe him as never having developed into a functional adult, with a lifestyle dependent on lies and financial support from them. Scott also discusses the potential link between his immaturity and his attraction to children, highlighting that such offenders often feel inadequate around adults and are drawn to vulnerable children. While Stern knew right from wrong, Scott points out that his compulsive behavior, combined with years spent isolated and online, fueled his predatory actions. Despite understanding his troubled background, Scott stresses that none of this excuses Stern's actions, labeling him a dangerous individual who knowingly harmed Maddie and exploited his access to her through a relationship with her mother, Jen Soto. - Stephan Stern’s neurodevelopment was likely stunted by a childhood brain injury, leading to lifelong behavioral issues. - Stern’s parents continued financially supporting him despite recognizing his manipulative and dysfunctional behavior. - Scott suggests Stern’s attraction to children may be tied to his emotional immaturity and inability to relate to adults. - Despite his developmental challenges, Stern was fully aware of the wrongness of his actions. - Stern’s predatory behavior was exacerbated by isolation and compulsive online activity, making him a danger to vulnerable individuals. #StephanStern #MaddieSoto #ChildAbuse #TraumaticBrainInjury #Neurodevelopment #PredatoryBehavior #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In April 2024, new evidence was released in the Madeline Soto case, specifically an interview with Jennifer Soto, Madeline's mother. The interview took place on April 18, 2024, at the state attorney’s office. This interview occurred after Madeline’s body was discovered on March 1st, 2024. At that time, while Stefan Stern had been charged with 60 counts of crimes, no one had yet been charged with Madeline's death. However, six days after Jennifer Soto’s interview, Stefan was charged with first-degree murder in Madeline's death and now faces the death penalty. Key details from the interview indicate that Jennifer was present with her attorney due to an investigative subpoena, which compelled her to attend. She was also granted derivative use immunity, which means that while the statements made in her interview cannot be used against her in court, she could still face prosecution if other evidence of a crime is discovered. Importantly, this immunity is not total, and Jennifer could still be charged if other independent evidence arises. As of the time of the interview, Jennifer Soto had not faced any charges.

Authorities in Florida have revealed new details in the tragic case of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, whose body was found in a wooded area days after she was reported missing. According to a newly released case supplemental report from the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Jennifer Soto, Madeline's mother, told police that her boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, had been "grooming and abusing" her daughter before the teen was allegedly murdered. The disturbing revelation came after police presented Jennifer with photos discovered on Sterns' phone. "He's been grooming and abusing my child," Jennifer allegedly told authorities, as reported by FOX 35, WFTV, and Click Orlando. This statement followed Sterns' arrest on unrelated charges of possessing child sexual abuse material, which occurred shortly after Madeline was reported missing from her home in Kissimmee, Florida, on February 26. Madeline's disappearance triggered a massive search effort, culminating in the discovery of her body on March 1. A medical examiner later determined that Madeline had died from strangulation. As investigators pieced together the events leading up to her death, Jennifer's claims about Sterns' alleged abuse became a focal point of the investigation. In a further twist, the case supplemental report also notes that Jennifer did not initially perceive Sterns' alleged sexual abuse as "evil," though she did acknowledge the killing as such. This detail, highlighted by the Orlando Sentinel, WESH, and Click Orlando, has raised questions about Jennifer's awareness of the abuse and her actions leading up to Madeline's disappearance. Authorities allege that on the night before Madeline went missing, Jennifer sent her daughter to sleep in the same room as Sterns. According to the supplemental report, Jennifer claimed she had a long day at work and needed to rest, leading her to make the decision. The next morning, Sterns was reportedly captured on video discarding items into a trashcan on the property where he lived with Jennifer and Madeline. Among the discarded items, police later recovered Madeline's backpack and laptop. Orange County Sheriff John Mina provided further insight into the investigation, stating that Sterns' actions and the evidence found were crucial in building the case against him. In April, Sterns was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Madeline's death. Court records from Osceola County, Florida, reviewed by PEOPLE, confirm these charges. As the legal proceedings move forward, questions remain about the extent of Jennifer's knowledge and involvement. While it is clear she informed authorities of Sterns' alleged grooming and abuse, her actions in the days leading up to Madeline's death have drawn scrutiny. The court documents also reveal that Sterns has pleaded not guilty to 60 counts of sexual abuse charges, but it remains unclear if he has entered a plea to the murder charge. The tragic case of Madeline Soto has shocked the local community and drawn widespread media attention, underscoring the devastating impact of abuse and the critical need for vigilance and intervention in protecting vulnerable children.

The Kissimmee Police Department announced that no charges will be filed against Jennifer Soto, the mother of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, whose tragic death shocked the community earlier this year. Despite an intensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding Madeline's disappearance and death, authorities have determined that Jennifer Soto has not committed any criminal acts related to the case. Madeline Soto was first reported missing on February 26, 2024, after she failed to show up at Hunters Creek Middle School, where she was a student. The alarm was raised by school officials, leading to a search that eventually ended in the grim discovery of her body in rural Osceola County. During the investigation, Jennifer Soto was interviewed by detectives from the Orange County Sheriff's Office. In a recorded interview conducted late on February 27, Soto explained that she did not see Madeline on the morning of her disappearance, as she assumed her daughter was preparing for school while she attended a doctor’s appointment. Soto’s boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, was supposed to drop Madeline off at school, but he failed to do so. This failure would later lead to chilling revelations. Stearns was arrested on February 28, initially charged with sexual battery and possession of child sexual abuse material after investigators discovered graphic photos and videos on his phone, believed to involve Madeline. As the investigation progressed, further evidence emerged, leading to Sterns being charged with first-degree murder on April 24. One of the critical pieces of evidence against Sterns was traffic camera footage showing him driving with what appeared to be Madeline's limp body in the front seat of his car on the morning she was reported missing. Authorities believe Madeline was already dead at this time, possibly for several hours. In her interview with detectives, Jennifer Soto provided details about the relationship between Sterns and her daughter, which investigators found concerning. When asked about the sleeping arrangements in their household, Soto stated, “Sometimes when I really need a good night’s sleep, I will send them upstairs. But when, I’ll also—a lot of times we will sleep together in the king-sized bed. All three of us. Or sometimes Stephan will go upstairs and share a bed alone. So it just really depends on what’s going on that night with our schedules and what we’re doing.” Despite these unsettling details, authorities have concluded that there is no evidence to suggest Jennifer Soto was involved in her daughter’s death. “Sources have confirmed that Jennifer Soto has done nothing criminal so far, so she will not face charges,” reported Channel 9’s Shannon Butler. Madeline’s body was found after a week-long search, bringing a heartbreaking conclusion to a case that has raised many questions about the events leading up to her death. As of now, Sterns remains the only person charged in connection with Madeline’s death. The State Attorney’s Office has stated its intention to seek the death penalty against him. However, the investigation is not over. During a press conference in April, Homicide Unit Chief Will Jay emphasized, “This is not over. There is an ongoing investigation to uncover more evidence.” Authorities have suggested that others who were close to Madeline remain under scrutiny, with the possibility of additional charges if new evidence comes to light. Kissimmee Police Chief Betty Holland also commented on the ongoing investigation, saying, “Everyone that was close to Madeline is considered suspect until we have proven otherwise.” As the community grapples with the loss of a young life, the legal proceedings against Sterns continue. His next court appearance is scheduled for mid-October, where a status hearing will take place. The outcome of this case will be closely watched as investigators work to ensure that justice is fully served for Madeline Soto. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the controversial murder case involving Stephan Sterns and the murder of Madeline Soto. The conversation revolves around letters exchanged within Sterns' family, particularly one from his mother that hints at others' involvement, potentially implicating Jen Soto. Scott highlights the mother's difficulty in accepting her son's culpability, a common trait where parents rationalize or minimize their children's monstrous behavior. Despite clear evidence of Sterns' crimes, his mother appears to be in denial, shifting blame to others. The discussion raises questions about the extent of her knowledge and potential complicity. Scott and Brueski also touch upon the psychological aspects of Sterns' upbringing and how parental denial can contribute to criminal behavior. They speculate about why Jen Soto hasn't been arrested despite apparent evidence of her involvement. The episode delves into the psychological underpinnings of familial denial, the complexities of the case, and the ongoing investigation. Main Points - **Case Background:** Stephan Sterns is involved in the murder case of Madeline Soto, with family letters suggesting other parties' involvement. - **Mother’s Denial:** Sterns' mother minimizes his culpability and hints at others' involvement, displaying a common parental denial trait. - **Clear Evidence:** Despite clear evidence of Sterns' crimes, his mother shifts blame, unable to accept his full responsibility. - **Psychological Insight:** The conversation explores how parental rationalization and denial can contribute to a child's criminal behavior. - **Questionable Awareness:** The letters imply that Sterns' mother may have had prior knowledge of his actions, raising suspicions about her complicity. - **Investigation Dynamics:** Discussion on why Jen Soto hasn't been arrested despite insinuations of her involvement and potential evidence. - **Ongoing Case:** The complexity of the case is highlighted, with continuous gathering of evidence delaying the trial. #StephanSterns #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers #MadelineSoto #ParentalDenial #JenSoto #CriminalPsychology Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Defense Attorney Bob Motta delves into the complex dynamics and potential criminal involvement of Jen Soto, the presumed redacted individual in a significant case. Motta explores the implications of Soto's actions, suggesting her possible complicity given her erratic behavior and changing stories. He questions why Soto hasn't been arrested, pondering whether it's due to a lack of evidence or if she is providing substantial information on others. Motta emphasizes the importance of parental accountability, especially in severe cases where the parent appears complicit rather than powerless under an abuser's control. He draws parallels with other high-profile cases, like Wendy Adelson's, where family members were deeply involved in criminal activities, underscoring his belief that Soto is likely aware and complicit in the crimes involving her daughter, Madeline. Motta expresses frustration over potential leniency towards Soto, asserting that a parent's responsibility is paramount, especially when no extenuating circumstances, such as coercion by an abusive partner, seem evident. He also hints at the broader, potentially darker implications of the case, including strange details like numbered rooms in the house, suggesting a deeper, more sinister context. The discussion concludes with Motta speculating on the strategic delay in Soto's arrest, possibly to leverage more information from her about other involved parties, hoping it doesn't end up in a protracted and convoluted legal scenario like other notorious cases. **Main Points:** - Defense Attorney Bob Motta discusses Jen Soto's potential involvement in a significant case. - Soto's erratic behavior and changing stories raise suspicions about her complicity. - Motta questions the delay in Soto's arrest, considering whether she is providing information on others. - Emphasis on the importance of parental accountability, especially when the parent is complicit. - Comparison to Wendy Adelson's case, highlighting family involvement in criminal activities. - Frustration over potential leniency towards Soto without extenuating circumstances. - Hints at broader, potentially darker implications of the case, including strange house details. - Speculation on the strategic delay in Soto's arrest to gather more information on other parties. **Hashtags:** #JenSoto #MadelineSoto #BobMotta #TonyBrueski #ParentalAccountability #WendyAdelson #CriminalComplicity Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta delves into the complexities surrounding the murder case of Madeline Soto, in which Stephan Sterns is charged with first-degree murder and faces the death penalty. The conversation focuses on the risks and implications of inmates communicating about their cases through letters or phone calls, despite repeated warnings from their legal counsel. Motta emphasizes how these communications can be used as evidence by the prosecution and discusses a specific instance where Stephan Sterns' mother wrote a letter that potentially implicates her in the case. The letter suggests she had knowledge of activities in the house related to the crime, raising questions about her involvement. Motta highlights the legal ramifications of such letters and the importance of building a solid evidence-based case before making arrests, citing other cases like that of Alec Baldwin where premature arrests led to dropped charges. The discussion underscores the delicate balance between defending clients and the relentless pursuit of evidence by law enforcement. **Main Points:** - Madeline Soto's murder case with Stephan Sterns facing first-degree murder charges and the death penalty. - Risks of inmates communicating about their cases through letters or phone calls. - Specific instance of Stephan Sterns' mother writing a letter potentially implicating herself. - Importance of building a solid evidence-based case before making arrests. - Legal ramifications of communications that can be used as evidence by the prosecution. - The role of evidence in determining the authenticity of confessions made while in custody. - Comparison to other cases like Alec Baldwin’s where premature arrests led to dropped charges. **Hashtags:** #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #BobMotta #MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #AlecBaldwin #EvidenceMatters Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former felony prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis discusses the disturbing case of Madeline Soto's murder. The primary suspect, Stephan Sterns, faces charges not only for murder but also for sexual violence and rape against Madeline, who had just turned 13. The case has broadened, potentially implicating Sterns' mother and Madeline's mother, Jen Soto, through incriminating emails and jailhouse communications. Faddis emphasizes the critical importance of advising clients to avoid discussing their cases in monitored communications, a rule frequently ignored.

The Osceola County Sheriff's Office is under scrutiny following the accidental release of an investigative photo in a social media post. The image, which depicted the body of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, was inadvertently included in a collage intended to showcase Sheriff Marcos Lopez's attendance at a community event for seniors. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has launched an investigation into the incident. Sheriff Lopez has pledged full cooperation with the ongoing investigation. According to court records, Lopez is scheduled to appear in court for a "non-criminal hearing" on December 20 at 8:30 a.m. State prosecutors have issued a civil summons to Sheriff Lopez for disclosing a photograph that depicted the killing of Madeline Soto. Under Florida law, images that depict the killing of a minor are confidential and cannot be released by a government agency. Madeline Soto’s body was found in a wooded area near St. Cloud on March 1, four days after she was reported missing. The photo, which was briefly posted on the sheriff’s Instagram account, showed clothing consistent with what Soto was believed to be wearing when she disappeared on February 26. "Earlier today a post was made on social media about a community event for seniors," Lopez’s spokesperson explained in a statement. "In the post, an investigative photo was accidentally included. The photo was immediately removed. We deeply apologize for any confusion or disturbance this may have caused. As with any investigation, the information obtained is confidential and any mistaken disclosures will be immediately rectified." The caption accompanying the accidental photo read, “Great day with our seniors,” followed by an emoji of a smiley face wearing a halo. The sheriff’s office moved quickly to remove the image and issue an apology. Sheriff Lopez has been cited for violating public record laws, and by signing the civil summons, he has agreed to appear at the December 20 court hearing unless he pays the unspecified fine beforehand. This incident has highlighted the importance of adhering to confidentiality laws, especially regarding sensitive information related to minors. The sheriff’s office has reiterated its commitment to ensuring that such mistakes do not happen in the future. Lopez’s spokesperson did not immediately respond to an email seeking further comment on the situation. As the investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement continues, the community awaits further developments regarding this unfortunate incident.

Newly obtained documents in the Madeline Soto homicide case reveal that the family of Stephan Sterns, the murder suspect, believes others were involved in the teen's disappearance and death. The 64-page file from the State Attorney's Office, made available to FOX 35, includes numerous emails exchanged between Sterns, currently held at the Osceola County Jail, and his family members. Stephan Sterns faces charges of first-degree murder, sexual battery, molestation, and possession of child sex abuse material. The jailhouse communications, spanning from May 29 to July 1, include messages from Chris Sterns, who appears to be the suspect's brother. The emails discuss various topics, including the family's new puppies, books Stephan would like delivered to him in jail, and his complaints about jail conditions. "The mat is flat and has very little cushion left; the cell is small, filthy, and has some spots on the wall that appear to be bloody fingerprints," Sterns wrote. Notably, some emails from Chris Sterns' account were authored by their mother, who expressed her belief that another individual was involved in the case. In an email dated June 25, she stated, "We all know [redacted] was heavily involved in this, and I am disgusted that she is free, and you are not when this is not all your fault!!" Despite these accusations, Stephan Sterns did not acknowledge his mother's claims in his email reply. Currently, Stephan Sterns is the only person arrested and charged concerning Madeline Soto's disappearance and death. Prosecutors and investigators have emphasized that the case remains open and ongoing. They have hinted at the possibility of uncovering more evidence that could lead to additional charges. "Everyone that was close to Madeline is considered suspect until we have proven otherwise," Kissimmee Police Chief Betty Holland stated in March. Homicide Unit Chief Will Jay echoed this sentiment at a press conference in April, saying, "This is not over. There is an ongoing investigation to uncover more evidence." The State Attorney's Office announced in early June their intention to seek the death penalty against Sterns. In the aforementioned email, Sterns' mother urged him to take the situation seriously, writing, "This stuff is serious - and you need to approach it as life and death, which it is." Stephan Sterns has been charged with the first-degree murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto. He has been in custody since February 28, two days after Madeline was first reported missing when she didn't make it to school. During the search for Madeline, Sterns voluntarily handed his phone over to law enforcement, leading to the discovery of graphic photos and videos allegedly involving the missing teen. Madeline's body was found in rural Osceola County on March 1. Earlier this week, Sterns waived his appearance at a pretrial hearing where the judge approved a defense motion to delay his trials. Another hearing is scheduled for mid-October. Below is the full email from Stephan Sterns' mother on his brother Chris Sterns' jail communications account from June 25, included in the 64-page document from the State Attorney's Office: "You don't see the commissary and cannot order anything? I hope that gets resolved quickly. Do you remember your balance? Jail and prison are not meant to be comfortable. All part of the mental punishment I guess. Stay positive, talk with your attorneys. I keep thinking about how you would not ever rat out a friend. It really made me mad and I felt like you valued them over us when you let them get away with stuff. Don't be doing that again. We all know [redacted] was heavily involved in this and I am disgusted that she is free and you are not when this is not all your fault!! You need to think about yourself more and her less. She sure isn't thinking of you and how she can help you right now. That whole family is willing to stay quiet and let you take the fall for everything. When you do that you are hurting us too. Please, get out of your head over this and start talking with your attorneys. This stuff is serious - and you need to approach it as life and death, which it is. I think of the craziness [redacted] lived through with [redacted] various partners ... Not a stable life at all for a child. I do pray for [redacted] and for you daily. I am thrilled that you are working out again and have a physical outlet for the stress. I hope you get your coffee and candy straightened out quickly. So far, I haven't seen a cancellation on Congo. Let us know as stuff filters down to you through the system. THIS Origami book is just paperback - no paper, just patterns if I read it right. Well I am off to feed the curly ones now. Love, hugs and prayers now and every day and night. Mom" Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the perplexing case of Jennifer Soto, the mother of Maddie Soto. Faddis analyzes the troubling circumstances surrounding Jennifer's involvement with Stephan Stearns, who faces serious charges, while Jennifer herself remains uncharged. The conversation explores various theories about Jennifer's potential complicity or cooperation with the authorities against Stearns. Faddis highlights the disturbing inconsistencies in Jennifer's statements, including her changing story about Maddie's last known whereabouts and the bizarre practice of numbering rooms in the house. These inconsistencies, coupled with the revelation that Jennifer allowed Stearns to sleep in the same bed as her daughter even after their breakup, cast a shadow on her credibility. The discussion raises questions about possible charges Jennifer could face, such as false reporting or child neglect, and considers the defense strategy she might employ if charged. Faddis speculates that Jennifer could argue she was under duress, influenced by an abusive relationship with Stearns. The episode also touches on the broader implications of the case, drawing parallels with other high-profile child abuse cases, and considers how Jennifer's actions might impact the jury's perception if she is brought to trial. - Jennifer Soto's involvement with Stephan Stearns, who faces serious charges, remains uncharged. - Various theories about Jennifer's potential complicity or cooperation with authorities against Stearns are discussed. - Jennifer's inconsistent statements about Maddie's last known whereabouts are highlighted. - The bizarre practice of numbering rooms in Jennifer's house raises suspicions. - Jennifer allowed Stearns to sleep in the same bed as her daughter even after their breakup. - Possible charges Jennifer could face include false reporting and child neglect. - Jennifer might argue she was under duress due to an abusive relationship with Stearns. - The episode draws parallels with other high-profile child abuse cases to consider the broader implications. **Hashtags:** #JenniferSoto #MaddieSoto #StephanStearns #HiddenKillers #ChildNeglect #FalseReporting #DuressDefense Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the potential arrest and investigation surrounding Jen Soto and her boyfriend, Stephan Stearns, in the disturbing case of Madeline Soto. Dreeke emphasizes that while an immediate arrest of Jen Soto may not happen, investigators are likely monitoring her movements closely. He suggests that authorities are gathering extensive digital evidence and may be treating Jen as a facilitator of a larger trafficking network, similar to Ghislaine Maxwell in the Epstein case. The conversation highlights the strategic approach needed to extract valuable information from Jen to potentially rescue other victims and dismantle a broader network of abuse. Dreeke also touches on the conditioning and grooming practices that Jen allegedly subjected her daughter to, indicating a deeper level of involvement and culpability. The discussion concludes with the hope that the investigation will not only bring justice to Madeline but also uncover and address the full extent of the criminal activities involved. **Main Points:** - Potential arrest of Jen Soto and ongoing investigation. - Monitoring Jen Soto's movements and gathering digital evidence. - Comparison to Ghislaine Maxwell's role in the Epstein case. - Strategic approach to extract information and rescue other victims. - Conditioning and grooming practices by Jen Soto. - Hope for uncovering the full extent of the criminal activities. #MadelineSoto #JenSoto #StephanStearns #RobinDreeke #TonyBrueski #HumanTrafficking #InvestigativeIntegrity Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this chilling conversation, the focus is on the disturbing behavior of mothers who allow heinous acts to occur within their families. The question arises: Why do these mothers permit such atrocities? Perhaps they grew up in environments where similar behavior was normalized, blurring their perception of right and wrong. These mothers may have been victimized themselves, leading to a skewed understanding of love and boundaries. The interview delves into the twisted mindset of sex offenders who manipulate children, convincing them that their actions are expressions of love. Despite the horror, these offenders often present as ordinary individuals, concealing their dark secrets. Main Points: Distorted Perception: Some mothers allow abusive behavior because they were raised in homes where it was normalized. Their internal radar fails to recognize the severity of the situation. Survival Justification: Like survivors of lesser childhood traumas, some mothers justify their children’s abuse, believing it’s acceptable due to their own survival experiences. Grooming Techniques: Offenders groom victims by framing abuse as a loving form of expression. They convince children that their actions are part of a special bond. Warped Beliefs: Sex offenders often rationalize their behavior, claiming love as their motivation. They present as normal individuals while harboring dark secrets. Self-Deception: Some offenders genuinely believe their own distorted narratives, blurring the line between right and wrong.

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the perplexing case of Jennifer Soto, the mother of Maddie Soto. Faddis analyzes the troubling circumstances surrounding Jennifer's involvement with Stephan Stearns, who faces serious charges, while Jennifer herself remains uncharged. The conversation explores various theories about Jennifer's potential complicity or cooperation with the authorities against Stearns. Faddis highlights the disturbing inconsistencies in Jennifer's statements, including her changing story about Maddie's last known whereabouts and the bizarre practice of numbering rooms in the house. These inconsistencies, coupled with the revelation that Jennifer allowed Stearns to sleep in the same bed as her daughter even after their breakup, cast a shadow on her credibility. The discussion raises questions about possible charges Jennifer could face, such as false reporting or child neglect, and considers the defense strategy she might employ if charged. Faddis speculates that Jennifer could argue she was under duress, influenced by an abusive relationship with Stearns. The episode also touches on the broader implications of the case, drawing parallels with other high-profile child abuse cases, and considers how Jennifer's actions might impact the jury's perception if she is brought to trial. - Jennifer Soto's involvement with Stephan Stearns, who faces serious charges, remains uncharged. - Various theories about Jennifer's potential complicity or cooperation with authorities against Stearns are discussed. - Jennifer's inconsistent statements about Maddie's last known whereabouts are highlighted. - The bizarre practice of numbering rooms in Jennifer's house raises suspicions. - Jennifer allowed Stearns to sleep in the same bed as her daughter even after their breakup. - Possible charges Jennifer could face include false reporting and child neglect. - Jennifer might argue she was under duress due to an abusive relationship with Stearns. - The episode draws parallels with other high-profile child abuse cases to consider the broader implications. **Hashtags:** #JenniferSoto #MaddieSoto #StephanStearns #HiddenKillers #ChildNeglect #FalseReporting #DuressDefense Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Dreeke noted that Jennifer's behavior, including deflecting potential leads and showing a lack of expected emotional distress, raised suspicions.

Hundreds of pages of investigative documents and reports into the disappearance and murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto have unveiled the extensive evidence police have gathered against her accused killer, Stephan Sterns. Madeline Soto was reported missing on February 26, just a day after celebrating her birthday. According to her mother, Jennifer Soto, Sterns, who was her boyfriend at the time, had taken Madeline to school that morning. However, Madeline never made it to school, and her body was discovered in a wooded area on March 1. Sterns has been charged with her murder and faces additional charges for possessing over 1500 disturbing images and videos of Madeline found on his phone. Court TV reviewed over 800 pages of documents released by the Osceola and Orange County Sheriffs’ Offices, shedding light on Sterns' shifting stories and the physical evidence police found near Madeline’s body. **Finding Madeline’s Body** Madeline's body was discovered near a line of bamboo trees, less than 100 feet from the road where Sterns was seen with a flat tire on the day she disappeared. Officers noted she was wearing a green hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, her body partially covered by "pieces of hay or dry grass." The medical examiner reported her body was in a "state of decomposition with visible insect activity around her mouth, left eye, ears, and right hand." The documents do not specify Madeline's cause of death, but WFTV Investigative Reporter Shannon Butler revealed that her sources indicate Madeline was strangled. **The Tale of the Tapes** Investigators presented video evidence that contradicted Sterns' claims about his actions on the day Madeline was last seen. Sterns told police he dropped Madeline off near her school at approximately 8:30 a.m. However, surveillance footage shows Sterns driving with Madeline's lifeless body in the car nearly an hour before. In one video, Sterns is seen discarding trash bags into the compactor at Jennifer’s apartment complex. Detectives found Madeline’s school laptop, backpack, and a trash bag containing one of her shoes in the compactor. Further surveillance footage from traffic cameras showed Sterns taking a different route than he reported, and at one point, he pulled into a garage near Holiday Inn Club Vacations. The footage shows Sterns carrying a limp body to the trunk of his vehicle. **Inside the Soto House** Sterns had lived with Jennifer and Madeline until December 2023. Besides Jennifer and Madeline, at least two other roommates resided in the home. During a search, investigators found that the rooms in the house matched the backgrounds of many images of child sex abuse on Sterns' phone. Additionally, they discovered "masturbation cream," a Sig Sauer weapon, ammunition, and a wallet with multiple credit cards in Sterns' room. Jennifer admitted she allowed Madeline to share a bed with Sterns, and on the night before Madeline disappeared, she sent them to sleep together. Sterns claimed he arrived home while Jennifer was at work and ensured Madeline followed her nightly routines. A woman identifying herself as Sterns' ex-girlfriend told deputies she stopped speaking to Sterns after he mentioned sharing a bed with Madeline. She recalled Sterns justifying his behavior by saying he needed to cuddle with Madeline to help her sleep. She further revealed a conversation where Sterns admitted waking up with an erection while in bed with Madeline. **Interviews with Friends and Family** Friends, teachers, and others who knew Madeline described her as a kind and sweet girl who suffered from anxiety. They found it hard to believe she would run away and stated she had no known issues with anyone. One friend mentioned Madeline’s menstrual cycle was late, suggesting potential sexual abuse. The release of these documents comes shortly after prosecutors announced their intention to seek the death penalty in Sterns’ murder case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the case of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, who was allegedly murdered and sexually abused by her stepfather, Stephan Stearns. The conversation revolves around the initial reactions of the parents, particularly during their interaction with the police. Both Tony and Eric find the behavior of Stearns and Madeline’s mother suspicious and out of the ordinary for such a grave situation. Stearns appeared hollow and deflated, while the mother’s response seemed staged and lacked the expected emotion. They analyze body cam footage of the parents reporting Maddie’s disappearance, noting inconsistencies and unusual behaviors, such as Stearns being preoccupied with his phone and the mother’s quick shutdown of the idea that Madeline could have gone to a friend’s house. The podcast delves into possible reasons behind these behaviors, speculating on whether the mother was aware of the abuse and possibly complicit. The discussion also touches on the legal implications and potential strategies for defense. The hosts express hope that the investigation will uncover the full extent of the truth and bring justice for Maddie. **Main Points:** - Madeline Soto, 13, was allegedly murdered and sexually abused by her stepfather, Stephan Stearns. - Initial reactions of the parents during the police interaction appeared suspicious and unusual. - Stearns showed hollow and deflated behavior, while the mother’s response seemed staged. - Analysis of body cam footage revealed inconsistencies and lack of expected emotional reactions. - Speculation on whether the mother was aware of the abuse or possibly complicit. - Discussion of legal implications and potential defense strategies. - Emphasis on the importance of uncovering the full truth and achieving justice for Maddie #MadelineSoto #ChildMurderCase #SexualAbuse #EricFaddis #TonyBrueski #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

1 State Attorney to Seek Death Penalty in Madeline Soto Murder Case 12:10

The Ninth Judicial Circuit State Attorney's Office announced plans to seek the death penalty in the first-degree murder case against Stephan Sterns, accused of killing 13-year-old Madeline Soto. The decision comes after a thorough investigation and consideration of several aggravating factors. In April, Sterns was charged with first-degree murder following the disappearance and death of Madeline Soto in late February. Sterns, 37, is the boyfriend of Madeline's mother and has been the prime suspect since the teen's body was discovered in rural Osceola County on March 3. According to investigators, Sterns allegedly dropped Madeline off near her middle school on February 26. However, she never made it to the school. In a disturbing twist, Sterns was initially arrested for tampering with evidence found on his phone during the investigation. "Even before Madeline was found dead, Sterns' actions raised significant red flags," stated the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Evidence allegedly tampered with on his phone contributed to his arrest and subsequent charges. On Monday, the State Attorney's Office cited "several aggravating factors the State intends to prove" in their decision to seek the death penalty. These factors include: - The capital felony being committed while the defendant was engaged in aggravated child abuse. - The victim's particular vulnerability due to Sterns' position of familial or custodial authority over her. - The capital felony's heinous, atrocious, or cruel nature. - Sterns' prior convictions involving violence, with current sex charges potentially serving as priors if he is convicted. The State Attorney's Office emphasized the severity and brutality of the crime. "The heinous nature of this crime, combined with the abuse of trust and authority, warrants the pursuit of the highest penalty available under the law," the office stated. In March, Sterns faced an indictment on 60 charges related to sexual battery on a child and possessing materials depicting sexual performance by a child. These charges came before the first-degree murder charge was added in April. Documents released by the office of Circuit Nine State Attorney Andrew Bain detailed the vile acts of sexual abuse allegedly found on Sterns' cellphone. Sterns claimed to have accidentally reset his phone the day Madeline went missing. "I don't know what the heck I did. But somehow during the massive OS update, I managed to factory reset my phone and lose all of my contacts. All my information," Sterns told investigators during an interview. The investigation revealed that Sterns had been sexually abusing Madeline for years. Madeline's mother, Jennifer Soto, provided troubling testimony, indicating it was normal for Madeline and Sterns to sleep together, even in her absence. Body camera footage from the Orange County Sheriff's Office shows Jennifer and Sterns recounting the morning Madeline went missing. Jennifer stated, "She didn't want to be dropped off at school. She wanted to be dropped a half block away so she could walk," with Sterns adding, "She didn't explain, she's in a phase." Despite these explanations, deputies reviewing security footage concluded that Madeline never made it to the school campus that day. The tragic and brutal nature of Madeline's death has shocked the community, prompting calls for justice. As the case progresses, the pursuit of the death penalty underscores the seriousness of the charges against Sterns. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a significant development in the case of Madeline Soto's disappearance and death, Stephan Sterns has been charged with first-degree murder. This indictment comes amid revelations of over 1,700 explicit images found on Sterns' Google Drive and inconsistencies in his account of the events surrounding Madeline's disappearance. Sterns was initially arrested after detectives searching for Madeline discovered child sex abuse material on his cell phone. Sterns had voluntarily handed over his phone to law enforcement but claimed to have inadvertently performed a factory reset, erasing its contents. Despite this, investigators recovered over 1,700 images from a Google Drive account linked to Sterns. These images included explicit photos of Madeline, suggesting ongoing sexual abuse. Shortly after his arrest, Sterns was charged with 60 counts of sexual battery, lewd and lascivious molestation, and possession of materials depicting the sexual performance of a child. "I don't know what the heck I did, but somehow, during the massive OS update, I managed to factory reset my phone and lose all of my contacts, all my information," Sterns told police in a recorded interview obtained by FOX 35. In a grim turn of events, Sterns has now been indicted for first-degree murder in the death of Madeline Soto. Officials allege that Madeline was killed between February 25 and 27, although the exact motive remains unknown. A friend of the Soto family described the indictment as "a big win" for those seeking justice for Madeline. The explicit images found on Sterns' Google Drive were not only graphic but also dated back to June 2019, implicating him in a long-term pattern of abuse. "The gut-wrenching discovery of these images further confirms the disturbing nature of Sterns' actions," stated a law enforcement official. Sterns admitted to police that he had saved photos to a Google Drive account, including photos of him and Madeline. When questioned about the images, Sterns asked if he should consult a lawyer and subsequently requested an attorney, halting further questioning. During a 43-minute police interview, Sterns provided a muddled timeline of the morning of Madeline's disappearance. He mentioned discussing breakfast plans with Madeline and forgetting their phones at home. Sterns also omitted details such as returning home to retrieve a gate clicker and getting a flat tire after dropping Madeline off at school. Surveillance footage from Sterns' gated community showed his vehicle leaving with a "female wearing a green sweater" slumped over in the front seat. Although the footage did not explicitly identify Madeline, investigators believe she was deceased at the time. Documents revealed details about the household dynamics, including Sterns occasionally sleeping in the same bed as Madeline. Jenn Soto, Madeline's mother, told detectives that Sterns had lived with them on and off for seven years and that it was not unusual for them to share a bed. Sterns explained that Madeline "always needed human contact when going to sleep," referring to it as "snuggling." In a heartbreaking moment, Jenn Soto was shown a photo allegedly depicting abuse, but she did not recognize anything in it and later became visibly upset. While Jenn has not been named a suspect, officials have stated that everyone close to Madeline is considered a suspect until ruled out. As the case against Stephan Sterns progresses, the community remains shocked and saddened by the revelations. The pre-trial hearing for Sterns' murder case is scheduled for July 10, with the trial set for July 16. The hearing for the sexual battery charges is also scheduled for July 10, with a trial date of August 19. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Stephan Sterns, the man accused of the brutal murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, waived his right to appear at his arraignment on Monday, adding another layer of complexity to a case that has shocked the community of Kissimmee, Florida. Sterns was scheduled to enter a plea but chose not to attend the court session. Madeline Soto, the daughter of Sterns' girlfriend, was reported missing after Sterns failed to drop her off at Hunters Creek Middle School on February 26. Investigators allege that instead of taking her to school, Sterns killed her and subsequently dumped her body. Further investigation revealed a disturbing pattern of abuse, with evidence suggesting Sterns had been molesting Soto for years and capturing these acts on his mobile phone. The court has proceeded with setting a timeline for the case, regardless of Sterns' absence. An Osceola County court administrator indicated that a pre-trial hearing is slated for July 10, and the trial is scheduled to start on July 16, though it may face delays. Prosecutors are now faced with a critical decision within the next 45 days: whether to pursue the death penalty against Sterns. To justify such a sentence, they must present aggravating factors, which in Sterns' case could include his role as a parental figure to Madeline, the premeditated nature of the murder, and its connection to prolonged sexual abuse. "The case against Mr. Sterns is built on a foundation of egregious betrayals and criminal actions that culminated in a tragic loss of young life," stated the prosecution team. "We are committed to seeking justice for Madeline, ensuring that all facts and circumstances are thoroughly considered in our pursuit of an appropriate sentence." The community and the family of Madeline Soto await justice in a case that has deeply affected many, drawing attention to the horrors of domestic abuse hidden behind closed doors. As the legal process unfolds, the memory of Madeline and the fight for her justice remain at the forefront of this tragic narrative. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a significant development in the tragic case of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, Stephan Sterns has been formally charged with first-degree murder. The Osceola County court records confirmed the indictment, nearly two months after the young girl's body was discovered in a secluded area of rural Osceola County. The indictment details allege Sterns killed Madeline between February 25 and February 27, just days before her body was found on March 1. Madeline was reported missing after she did not return home from school. Sterns, the boyfriend of Madeline's mother, Jennifer Soto, initially told investigators he had dropped her off at school on the day she vanished. However, authorities later clarified that this was not the case, intensifying suspicions around Sterns' involvement. The case took a darker turn when disturbing evidence was found on Sterns’ phone shortly after Madeline's disappearance. On February 28, he was arrested on 60 counts related to sexual battery on a child and possession of child sexual abuse material. These charges included eight counts of sexual battery of a child under 12, five counts of sexual battery with a child aged 12 to 18, seven counts of lewd and lascivious molestation, and 40 counts of unlawful possession of materials depicting sexual performance by a child. State Attorney Andrew Bain and Kissimmee Police Chief Betty Holland are scheduled to address the public and media at a news conference on Wednesday at 4 p.m., which will be streamed live by local news outlets. This press conference is expected to provide further details on the progression of the case and the upcoming legal proceedings. In a recent court appearance, a pretrial hearing resulted in the postponement of Sterns’ trial after his defense team successfully argued for more preparation time, with the judge setting a new trial date for August 19. Sterns waived his right to appear at the hearing. As the community reels from the impact of this heinous crime, the focus now turns to the upcoming trial and the justice sought for young Madeline. The Osceola County community continues to mourn the loss of a young life cut tragically short, as they await further developments in this disturbing case.

Stephan Sterns, the central figure in the investigation surrounding the tragic demise of 13-year-old Madeline Soto from Kissimmee, Florida, is declining to aid authorities in their inquiry, Kissimmee Police Chief Betty Holland revealed Thursday. Despite nearly two weeks passing without significant updates, Chief Holland provided a status update on the ongoing investigation, highlighting Sterns' lack of cooperation as a notable setback. "He has invoked his right to a lawyer, so we have not spoken with him," Chief Holland stated, addressing the media. Sterns, aged 37 and the boyfriend of Madeline's mother, remains the solitary individual charged in connection with the case. His arrest on March 12 came after investigators uncovered distressing images and videos of child sexual abuse on his phone shortly after Madeline's disappearance, indicating a deeper layer of complexity to the tragedy. The timeline of events leading to Madeline's demise paints a somber picture. Initially reported missing on February 26 after failing to attend school, the situation escalated when investigators declared her deceased on March 1, following the discovery of her lifeless body in a nearby wooded area. Surveillance footage captured Sterns as the last person seen with Madeline, exacerbating suspicions surrounding his involvement. His actions, including disposing of Madeline's belongings and allegedly driving her body away under the guise of taking her to school, further compounded the gravity of the situation. Despite Sterns' refusal to cooperate, Chief Holland assured that the investigation's progress remains undeterred. However, the delay caused by his lack of communication underscores the complexity of unraveling the truth behind Madeline's tragic fate. While Madeline's cause of death remains undisclosed pending the medical examiner's report, Chief Holland emphasized the exhaustive nature of the ongoing investigation. "We want to make sure that we uncover every single fact and all the evidence," she reiterated, reflecting the department's unwavering commitment to justice. When asked if anyone else was being investigated as a suspect, including Madeline’s mother, the chief said they had not ruled anything out. "Everyone that was close to Madeline is considered suspect until we have proven otherwise," Holland said. "We don’t want to put a timeline on it.” The chief said officers were still trying to determine where Madeline died and added that she would not release further details until officers were sure of the facts. In light of the unfolding tragedy, Chief Holland urged parents to engage in conversations with their children about abuse and remain vigilant, emphasizing community support resources. As the investigation progresses, Sterns faces a looming legal process, with a pre-trial hearing scheduled for April 24, followed by a full jury trial commencing on May 13. The community awaits further developments as authorities continue their quest for closure in Madeline's untimely demise. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" podcast, body language expert Susan Constantine dissects the interviews and public appearances of a mother and her partner following the mysterious disappearance of their daughter. The conversation uncovers a myriad of deceptive cues and emotional incongruences that suggest a deeper involvement in the crime. Key insights include: Misplaced Comforting: The unnatural dynamic of the mother comforting the partner, rather than vice versa, raises suspicions about their genuine emotional states and unity in deception. Deceptive Emotional Displays: Both the mother and the partner exhibit fake emotional distress, characterized by the absence of genuine tears and appropriate facial expressions of sadness. Manipulation of Narrative: Their accounts contain strategic omissions and manipulative word choices aimed at misleading the investigation and controlling public perception. Partial Truths as Stress Relief: The partner's admission of feeling responsible and his description of the daughter as "sleeping" during the drive are analyzed as partial truths, potentially revealing their guilt and cognitive strategies to alleviate the stress of lying. Discrepancies in Body Language and Verbal Statements: Inconsistent gestures, lack of appropriate facial expressions, and mismatched story details suggest a concerted effort to appear grieving without the genuine emotional underpinning. Warning to Single Parents: Constantine concludes with a cautionary message about the dangers of introducing new partners to children's lives without thorough vetting, highlighting the risks posed by predatory individuals. #HiddenKillersPodcast #BodyLanguageExpert #SusanConstantine #TruthBehindTears #FamilyDeception #UnveilingLies #ChildSafetyAwareness Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Susan Constantine, a body language expert, delves into interviews concerning the case of a missing girl, scrutinizing the mother, Jen Soto's, verbal and non-verbal communication for signs of potential deception and emotional detachment regarding her daughter's disappearance. The discussion highlights several critical aspects: Camera Footage Discrepancy : Contrary to earlier statements about existing camera footage showing the girl near her school, it is later clarified that no such evidence was found. Constantine critiques the justifications given for the absence of conclusive footage. Hearsay and Repetition : Jen Soto's tendency to repeat hearsay as if it were fact is noted, a method that facilitates seamless deception because it is based on memory rather than invention. Physical Signs of Deception : Observable signs of deceit, such as gulping and shoulder shrugging, along with a lack of visible distress in Jen's facial expressions, are identified as deception indicators. Emotional Detachment : The lack of expected emotional distress, including tears or expressions of sadness, points to a disconnection from the grave situation. The absence of personal references to her missing daughter further underscores this detachment. Absence of a Call to Action : The unusual absence of a direct plea for assistance in finding her daughter is highlighted as abnormal behavior for a parent in crisis. Analysis of Story Structure : The structure of Jen Soto's narrative is analyzed, revealing an imbalance between the lead-up, body, and conclusion, which deviates from typical storytelling patterns. #HiddenKillersPodcast #BodyLanguageAnalysis #TruthInDeception #SusanConstantine #MissingCaseInsight #EmotionalDetachment #DetectingLies Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Murder Of Maddie Soto

In a revealing episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski and psychologist John Delatorre delve into the tragic case of 13-year-old Madeline "Maddie" Soto, whose murder has shocked the community. The focus falls on Stephen Stearns, the boyfriend of Maddie's mother, Jen Soto, who lived with them and is now a person of interest in the case. While not charged with Maddie's murder at the time of the podcast, Stearns faces allegations of possessing child pornography and material documenting the sexual abuse of Maddie, captured in their shared home. The discussion raises critical questions about Jen Soto's awareness of the abuse happening under her roof. Delatorre suggests it's unlikely Jen was unaware, speculating that if she knew, her failure to act might indicate she too was a victim of abuse by Stearns. This perspective challenges listeners to consider the complex dynamics at play in households where abuse occurs, including the possibility of denial or forced ignorance by victims due to fear or manipulation. Furthermore, Maddie's desire to "live in the woods," as told to her friends before her disappearance, is interpreted as a desperate plea for escape from her abusive environment. This detail adds a poignant layer to Maddie's story, highlighting her search for safety and peace away from home. The podcast also critiques Jen Soto's public pleas for Maddie's safe return, noting a lack of empathy and inconsistencies in her story. The presence of Stearns in the background of an interview is dissected as a potential attempt to control the narrative, revealing a pattern of domineering behavior that might have kept his abusive actions hidden.

In an episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," featuring defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis, the duo discusses a sensitive and alarming incident related to the investigation of 13-year-old Maddie Soto's death. Here are the key points from their conversation: Inadvertent Photo Release : The conversation opens with the revelation that a sheriff involved in the Maddie Soto case accidentally posted a photo of Maddie's corpse on Instagram. This mishap raises concerns about the sensitivity and privacy expected in child death cases, highlighting the potential for eroding public trust in law enforcement. Sensitive Case Handling : Faddis emphasizes the importance of law enforcement being exceedingly careful in handling evidence, especially in sensitive cases involving children, to maintain the integrity of the investigation and public confidence. Social Media and Law Enforcement : The discussion then shifts to broader issues regarding law enforcement officers' use of social media, including another distasteful incident where a member of the sheriff's department posted a selfie during Stefan Stearns' perpetrator walk. Evidence Management : The episode critiques the seemingly lax protocols within the sheriff's department concerning the management and sharing of evidence photos, questioning the professionalism and discretion expected in law enforcement. Generational Divide : Faddis and Brueski ponder whether a generational divide exists within law enforcement regarding attitudes toward sharing potentially sensitive content on social media. They suggest that younger officers might not fully grasp the gravity of such actions, whereas more experienced officers would recognize the inappropriateness of sharing evidence photos publicly. The episode sheds light on the challenges and pitfalls law enforcement faces in the age of social media, underlining the need for stringent policies and training to safeguard the dignity of victims and their families while preserving the integrity of the justice process.

In the episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" featuring guest Bob Motta, a defense attorney and host of "Defense Diaries," the tragic case of 13-year-old Maddie Soto is discussed. Below are the main points covered in their conversation: Tragic Case Overview: Maddie Soto, a 13-year-old girl, was allegedly killed by her mother's partner, not her stepdad, with whom she lived in a small apartment. After Maddie went missing and was later found dead, evidence of sexual abuse by the mother's partner was discovered on his phone, indicating abuse had occurred over the last two years within their home. Inconsistencies and Suspicions: The narratives provided by Maddie's mother, Jen Soto, and her partner are conflicting and raise suspicions. Bob Motta references similar high-profile cases to draw parallels, highlighting Jen's lack of emotion and inconsistent timelines. Parental Reactions: Motta discusses typical reactions of parents who discover such abuse, noting that a typical response involves immediate protective actions, which were conspicuously absent in Maddie's case, suggesting atypical behavior from Maddie's mother. Legal Perspectives and Challenges: The conversation delves into the complexities of legal proceedings in such cases, emphasizing the importance of evidence for prosecution. Motta explains that inconsistencies and suspicious behavior, while indicative of guilt, require concrete evidence to result in charges and convictions. Ongoing Investigation and Speculation: As of the podcast's airing, Jen Soto had not been charged or publicly named as a suspect. However, the discussion reflects on how law enforcement and the prosecutor's office might view the case, the process of gathering evidence, and the potential for future charges based on the evolving investigation.

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski and psychologist John Delatorre examine the tragic disappearance and subsequent murder of 13-year-old Maddie Soto, focusing on the inconsistencies in her mother Jennifer Soto's account of the events leading up to Maddie's disappearance. Jennifer's varying statements about her last interaction with Maddie and the circumstances of dropping her off at school have raised questions about her involvement and awareness of the situation. Delatorre suggests that Jennifer Soto's conflicting accounts could indicate an attempt to fabricate a story rather than confusion stemming from trauma. He implies that Jennifer might be trying to sell a narrative possibly fed to her, highlighting a potential recognition of her complicity in her daughter's tragic end. The discussion points toward a deliberate manipulation of details to mislead or deflect from the truth, with Delatorre questioning the plausibility of Jennifer's claims given the evidence contradicting her timeline of events. Further scrutiny is given to the tactics used by investigators, including misleading suspects about surveillance footage to elicit reactions or confessions. Delatorre comments on the psychological aspect of such techniques, noting the challenge of maintaining a lie when it must contain elements of truth to be believable. The psychologists' analysis extends to Jennifer Soto's public pleas for her daughter's safe return, critiquing her apparent lack of genuine emotion as "bad acting." Delatorre observes a stark difference in her demeanor between interviews conducted with and without the presence of her boyfriend in the background. The latter, he notes, showcased a more composed narrative, suggesting a concerted effort to align their stories under his influence. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Osceola County Sheriff's Office is under fire following the controversial sharing of a photo believed to depict the lifeless body of 13-year-old Madeline Soto on social media. The incident has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about accountability and transparency within the law enforcement agency. Sheriff Marcos Lopez ignited the controversy when he allegedly posted the disturbing image on his personal Instagram page, just hours after Soto's body was discovered in a rural area outside St. Cloud. While Lopez claimed the post was accidental, the public condemnation was swift, with many questioning the appropriateness and ethics of sharing such a graphic image. In a separate incident, the Sheriff's executive director, Nirva Rodriguez, added fuel to the fire by posting a selfie with suspect Stephan Sterns during a perp walk, accompanied by a caption that drew further criticism. These actions directly violate the Sheriff's own social media policy, which explicitly prohibits the dissemination of information from ongoing criminal investigations, including photographs, as well as making statements about the guilt or innocence of any suspect. Law enforcement expert Randy Nelson expressed dismay at the violations, emphasizing the importance of adhering to established policies and procedures. "It makes you look at the leadership. I mean, that’s, that’s all one can do. And once again, it goes back to transparency and accountability," Nelson remarked, reflecting the broader concerns regarding the conduct of the Sheriff's Office. Compounding the controversy is the revelation that Osceola County Sheriff's Office was not the lead agency investigating Soto's death, raising questions about why the graphic photo was in Sheriff Lopez's possession and who took it. Despite inquiries, the Sheriff's Office has remained tight-lipped on these matters, fueling further speculation and frustration. While State Attorney Andrew Bain expressed deep concern over the careless public release of the photos, he indicated that their evidentiary impact on the case may be limited for now. However, defense attorney Roger Weeden highlighted the potential ramifications of such unprofessional conduct, particularly in the context of a trial where juror perceptions could be influenced by the actions of law enforcement. As investigations into the matter unfold, the community demands answers and accountability from the Osceola County Sheriff's Office, underscoring the need for greater transparency and adherence to established protocols in handling sensitive information and evidence.

Investigators in Kissimmee have unearthed evidence that Stephan Sterns, the key suspect in the case of 13-year-old Madeline Soto's death, had been engaging in sexual abuse against her for almost two years. This revelation comes from video and photo evidence found during the investigation into her disappearance, as outlined in court affidavits filed in Osceola County and made available to the public on Tuesday. Initially released in heavily redacted form, the affidavits were later updated to include more details following the discovery of Madeline's body, albeit with some redactions remaining. Sterns, 37, who was in a relationship with Madeline's mother, is charged with two instances of sexual battery against a minor, one of which dates back to when Madeline was 11, a crime that could lead to a death sentence upon conviction. Although Kissimmee Police Chief Betty Holland has not confirmed Madeline as the victim in these charges, the court documents reference the young girl's birth date and describe her as "the missing juvenile," indirectly linking her to the crimes. The affidavits detail the abuse occurring from February 2022 to February 2024, covering the period from when Madeline was 11 until her disappearance. They specify two incidents captured on Sterns' phone, one in August 2022 when Madeline was 11, and another when she was 12, without specifying the date of the latter. Further details emerged from a press conference led by Orange County Sheriff John Mina, revealing that Madeline had left messages to friends about her plans to "live in the woods" upon turning 13, coinciding with her birthday on February 22. While Sterns is currently detained on charges related to the sexual abuse, he has not been charged in connection with Madeline's death. His arrest followed the discovery of the incriminating photos and videos on his phone. He is being held in the Osceola County Jail without bond. Investigations pinpointed the location of many of the incidents to the apartment shared by Madeline, Sterns, and her mother in Venetian Bay Villages, Kissimmee. Madeline's mother, Jenn Soto, has not been implicated as a suspect in her daughter's disappearance or death. The case came to public attention when Madeline was reported missing after Sterns claimed to have dropped her off at a church near her school. Evidence presented by Holland and Mina at a press conference indicated Sterns discarding Madeline's belongings in a dumpster on the morning of her disappearance. Later evidence suggested Madeline was already deceased when Sterns returned to the scene. Madeline's body was eventually found by search teams in a wooded area in St. Cloud, bringing a tragic turn to the investigation. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," guest Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor and defense attorney, discusses the heartbreaking case of 13-year-old Maddie Soto, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances involving her de facto stepdad, Stefan Stearns. The discussion sheds light on various aspects of the case, highlighting: Maddie Soto's Tragic Death: Just after her 13th birthday, Maddie was found dead, leading to suspicions around Stefan Stearns, who was charged with 60 counts of sexual assault but not murder. Investigation and Charges: The conversation delves into the ongoing investigation, questioning why murder charges haven't been brought against anyone, including Maddie's mother, Jen Soto. Role of Jen Soto: The discussion parallels the potential culpability of Maddie's mother, drawing comparisons to other cases where parents knew of abuse. The focus is on what Jen might have known and her responsibility to protect Maddie. Possible Broader Implications: Speculation about a wider network involved in child abuse, prompted by the discovery of disturbing content on Stearns' devices and the possibility of Jen Soto's cooperation with investigators to uncover more about the case. #JusticeForMaddieSoto #ChildAbuseAwareness #EricFaddisInsights #HiddenKillersPodcast #EndChildTrafficking #MaddieSotoCase #FightAgainstAbuse…
