Where was that last pic taken with the blue streamers? I magnified it and there is an older man with a hat that may have taken the picture standing outside with her AND it looks like possibly a naked Sterns standing inside?!
Totally should be charged she’s just as guilty for allowing her young daughter to constantly be left with this sicko that’s child endangerment what a Horrible case!!!!
I'm up in my 70's. My wife and I have lived next door to a family that has 2 of the prettiest sweet girls you can imagine for 14 years. They are now 12 and 14. They are better to me than my own grandchildren. They stop by every afternoon when getting home from school and we visit in the Garage. They have never been inside our home unless my wife is home. I can't bring myself to even give an appearance of something inappropriate. So it totally baffles me this woman would let? Her daughter sleep in a bed with a grown man. She had to have known what was going on, and by doing so was giving him permission.
Probably didn’t like it but still put up with it to keep him and that is a disgusting thought process! She needs to be held accountable even if she didn’t know she clearly endangered her child by letting her sleep with him. She was 12-13 not 5-6 she was not a baby anymore. Jenn If you didn’t want him in your bed it was ok to send him home! AND YES WHEN YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN IF YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND THEY SHOULD NOT LIVE WITH YOU PERIOD!
Much respect to you sir. I am sure the girls love you both. It’s wonderful to see you are getting the love from girls you would call a grand daughter. You must be special to them as well.
She knew. He started when she was 8 years old and it's obvious her mom encouraged it because not only did she allow him to sleep with her in the same bed, but she also lied for him about seeing her daughter the morning after the murder. She must have known he murdered her and was now covering up for him. That alone will get her some charges, like for tanpering with evidence.
An evil, evil monster. Praying for justice for poor Madeline, who now never has a chance to grow up and live her life. May this monster never see the light of day for the rest of his miserable life.
@@chrissyg1700 thats what I thought.. he was gone living with his parents and then comes back that night, Im thinking he tried to SA her again and being 13 and having had some peace while he was gone she said no and Im going to tell… :(

In all her photos she has huge bags under her eyes and also looks very sad. You can tell from photos that something is not right. Same thing with the Susanne Morphew case. I saw a photo of Barry with his arm out with a scowling expression and before I knew anything about the case I said....ok he looks like a domestic abuser. Everybody constantly pounds into your head that you're not supposed to judge people. That goes against every instinct as a human that we have evolved to protect ourselves. Every time we have a little feeling or an unsettling emotion that seems to come out of nowhere. It's your subconscious telling you something's wrong and you should never ignore it. Stefan looks like a grade A CREEP!!!
Unless she was so scared he would do something if she didn’t which is sad and disgusting to think about. I can’t begin to imagine what kind of psychological abuse this little angel was suffering apart from the physical one 😩😭
I'm sorry !! But , who is stupid enough to let your daughter sleep with a grown man !!! WTH. my daughter growing up had teenager brothers let alone a grown Man . And never not even once did I leave my daughter alone with teenage brothers & friends. ........ It wasn't that I didn't trust her brothers. I just never wanted the opportunity to come up for lives to be destroyed on both sides. 😒 To me it's just common sense.
She seems very dumb and lazy. Didn’t want to take the energy to consider what could happen to her daughter. She probably just ate got by at work and took meds to sleep. That dumb look in her DUH eyes. Poor kids that are born to these ignorant lazy parents
Agreed. We see a lot of horrible cases at Court TV and this one is particularly horrific. Hopefully, justice comes swift. Thanks for watching with #CourtTV!

Better still, be careful who you put in bed with them. For my daughters it was Topsy and Flopsy, a pair of soft stuffed rabbit toys, for poor Madeleine it was her mother's boyfriend. My daughters are well and truly adult now, but I would never ever have slept in the same room as them.
He is such a whiny loser. I can’t STAND his voice. Ugh. And his eyes, dude! wtf is with his eyes… they are just gross looking lol. Idk how else to say it.
Madeline did not like to sleep alone. That is likely because she was afraid of what Sterns would do. Her mother knew she did not sleeping alone, but instead of keeping Madeline with her she sent Madeline off to sleep with a creep.
In my opinion she’s guilty 100%. The fact is she lied atleast about 1 thing for sure. To me, if you’re just thinking your poor child is missing, you don’t lie about a single thing. The fact that she lied, no matter how minor it may seem, means she knows something and she’s guilty.
@@denisecounts5381I suspect she was the one who took her daughter’s life. Or participated in it. She seems the jealous type. If it was me and I caught my boyfriend doing that to my child he would be the one in danger.
From what I read Jennifer worked part time from home and was collecting disability so her working hours were limited. So why did she say she had to work? I would’ve had the party on my day off, not used work as an excuse to not be there. Not only did she miss her daughter’s party but the last night of her life. I smell a rat.
She really fails her sweet child. Children cannot protect themselves. Mothers do BETTER 🤬 so many mothers allow men into their homes. Atr letting your boyfriend sleep next to your child is terrifying. When I also saw the police video when they are at the police station, it was completely crazy. The mother was too calm. I had cried and screamed please help me find my child. She's too cold so it's scary. I myself have 3 children and am single. No man has come into my home. My children are now 17,14 and 12. I protect my children because I know how scary some people can be. My children really do come first. Not a man. Seen too many horrible things in this world. She should be punished she absolutely did not protect her child at all.
But even men do the same thing too. This is a common problem among divorced parents, they tend to care less about who they end up with as long as they seek companionship.
@@INDLISgood point. Audrili Cunningham was taken from the earth by her father’s best friend and I don’t think he’s being charged. The witch hunt should include both parents. Or whoever is in charge or should have been.
@@CourtTVthank you 🙏🏼 When my kids love out them I can maybe start dating. Who knows 😂. I see my friends having new ppl around there kids breaks my heart. Becouse I see also some kids dont feel good. I must tell you that I see something and say something. The father in the home when to prison just like this monster. But Sweden the law is so insane . We have max 18-21 years off M someone 🤬 Justice for Maddie is even the mom will get down I belive one day that will happend. She put her sweet child in the same bed as him. My blood boiles. He will one day burn in hell. Prison for life and I hope he drop his 🧼 in the shower also. If someone hurt my child trust me no one can stop me Justice for sweet Maddie 💜🙏🏼 We love you
@@Mjan-81 Because he uses the pronoun “we” connected to the pronoun “us” in describing a plan that he and Madeline had… and in saying “we woke up and the plan was for us to go to Macdonalds,” he is admitting the young girl was sleeping with him, I think.
Thank you for your continued coverage of this case Vinnie. I don't think I can write enough words to describe this disgusting, vile waste of oxygen , demon. Stefan Sterns in my opinion deserves to suffer each minute of every day he still breathes the oxygen he isn't worthy of!! As for Jen Soto, surely after the lies she told initially, covering for the bf and admitting to allowing him to sleep next to Madeline etc, surely she has to face consequences for those choices. She let Madeline down in the worst way a Mother could by playing the innocence card and turning a blind eye. Madeline's innocence was taken in the most vile despicable way from the age of 8. That poor girl must have suffered so much at the hands of evil 😔
This creature put her daughter in the bed with this disgusting individual. She needs to be punished. Poor Madeline. What should've been the best time of her life was a nightmare.
@@krystallovern6752why?!!!! She literally served her up to him. She would send her to sleep in a bed with him alone. Wtf ?! In what world is that okay. Are you the mother??? I see you commenting a bunch defending the mother.. why are you on the mothers side?!!
There is absolutely no way on earth that mother didn’t know what was going on! You let your young blooming daughter sleep with a grown man (not her father) by themselves? It’s like she scheduled those nights for him to have access to her. Most unnatural situation. That mother is just as guilty!
VanderArk is a good comparison. That poor boy was tortured by the people who were supposed to care for him the most. Much like Madeline. What does #JusticeForMadeline look like?
Could they both have been profiting financially from vile acts? Jen wasn't in a relationship with him? Was it business? Hence the tripod...she definitely is prioritising sterns.
What that forensics professor said about offenders that use the child until a certain age and then murder them haunts me. I think that’s what happened here.
What mother doesn't attend her daughters party. If you have work you plan it when your off or take a day off. There's a lot on the mom that not making sense and is so sad! Poor sweet girl
I knew he was lying bc he gave to much information that didn't make sense. He is one sick individual. I hope they bury him under the jail. The Mom needs to be charged too. Letting her sleep with him is sick. There is no way the Mom didn't know something was going on. May Madeline rest in peace. 💔💔
Yes. Especially when they asked about any distinguishing features he is the one who answers, “She has a beauty mark on her face, you can’t miss it.”The mother isn’t describing her own child, this pervert is.
My Parents told me something years ago (about my lying boyfriend ) "If he will lie, He will cheat If he will cheat He will steal If he will steal He will kill. Do not entertain liars, their moral compass doesn't exist.
The more I learn about this case. The more angry I get. Jenn handed her daughter over to him. No one will ever convince me she was unaware of what he was doing. She may be involved as well. She can’t hide forever. Charges have to be coming for her! They both are despicable humans and need to be locked up forever.
I have depression and anxiety ... take medication. Do you know what I never did -- never neglected my child and never let my daughter sleep with my boyfriend!!!
What you seem to have missed was when the officer asked him: ‘and what did you do after that’ he simply repeated what he had observed of Madeline leaving the car and rummaging in her bag- it’s so obvious he hadn’t even sorted out what his story was for after he’d dropped her off--
I just have to say i love your show...you put so much effort imto making the media aware of these volitile criminals. I appreciate just watching you, keep it up Vinnie,!
😢 Such a tragic story of poor precious Madeline's life.... She deserved to be loved and kept safe by her mother, but lived in hell due to Jenn's neglect and irresponsible choices 😢. Thanks Vinnie for shining the light on this angel so she will get JUSTICE! ❤ Love you my friend ❤!
I live in Florida and there are so many crimes like this! And I hate Orlando!! Sex trafficking capital!! I watch my 12 yr old daughter like a HAWK!! Poor baby girl🥲 Angel in heaven ❤💔 I pray there isn’t any more victims!
My grandma moved to Florida (Polk county) when I was like in sixth grade. I was acting up at one point and my mom shipped me down to her, and wanted her to basically to put me in school down there cuz we were not getting along. But my grandma was basically saying the same thing you are. Way too much child kidnappings and trafficking happening, and that it isn’t a good place for me. Always been thankful she did that because now at 34 I realize she was absolutely right.
I am saddened and sickened. This poor young girl, what a horrific situation of abuse to endure. The mother should also be held accountable. Lock up the boyfriend and throw away the key - period. Or death penalty if that is given.
“She was looking forward to my visit here” … I think that might be why he killed Madeline. The relationship between Soto and him had deteriorated to them not being able to live with one another and he was afraid of what would happen when Madeline was free from his control because he was at his parents. I hate this man. I hate Soto. She had one job, at the very end of the day, when you have kids, you have ONE JOB, to protect and raise up those innocent souls until they can themselves. Everything you do is centered around raising them up. My heart is broken. I am disgusted. I cannot even listen to the description of the photos, understanding that these are of a child, at varying ages, from 8-12. She wasn’t 13. She didn’t get to be 13 because of this vile excuse of a human.
When a I was 15. My mother used to tell my 9yo sister to go "lay down & take a nap with Jimmy"-- a boyfriend she had met only 2 months prior and had moved in with us. This was back in the 80s, it struck me funny but my mother was a physically * emotionally abusive nightmare so by this time in my life I had a part time job after school and practically lived at my best friend's house. Years later, my sister told me Jimmy used to molest her during those "naps". When she told our mother, her response was, "well how was I supposed to know?" Yeah. I'm now 51, my sister is 45. To this day we don't know if our mother knew what was going on or if she was just an idiot. For over a decade I have gone no contact from my nightmare of a mother. My sister still has a relationship with her. Sadly, I don't talk to her much either.
I agree, my kids were in their own rooms from around 6 months old. Something is certainly wrong here, even Maddie's grandma said that Maddie didn't like sleeping alone. I'd like to know more about Maddie's behaviour/habits from before pervie moved into their lives.
Besides obviously for Madeline, who didn’t stand a chance in this life, my heart goes out to the people who had to go through his phone. I used to have to read reports when I worked in forensic learning disabilities and they haunt you, watching videos must be a million times worse.
And for Gods sake, why did Stephan answer more questions abut Madelines appearance, weight, beauty mark and clothing she was last wearing than her Mother Jennifer? Stephan said she was wearing blue or black pants and Jennifer said black shorts, wasn't poor Madeline found wearing blue jeans?
Why hasn't Jennifers Mother said if Stephan was at Madelines Birthday Party and what time he picked her up and left with her?? And hearing Stephan say "we had time to kill" made me ill
Where is the timeline for the mother , Jen got off from work allegedly at 8am he went back to that apartment around 8 . I bit money that this little girl was pregnant, and the mother lost it and killed her daughter. Stephen Stern is sitting in that chair crying while the mother is comforting him , that says it all. Notice how she never shedded a tear. She is cold-blooded 😡
SS is despicable & inhumane. The detectives were cool, calm, and collected...they knew he was lying. Allowing him to weave a web. He does not deserve to have a tongue. Justice for Maddie.
Why is she not in prison, she is such a liar, it's her own flesh and blood, why is she not hysterical screaming where is my daughter.. Anne from Scotland
So many people are giving the officer crap for being kind to Sterns on the drive. Being kind to someone completely undeserving shows he is a good Christian man with a kind heart.
I'm new to this case but as soon as he said she was 'snoozing mostly' and refused McDonalds I take it she was already desceased. I obviously need to watch much more on this.
I genuinely believe that when it comes to Jen Soto… I don’t think all the cylinders in the engine are firing and DO NOT mean that in a way that is making my fun of her or anything. Something is just not clicking up there and it may very well rise to the level criminality but I also believe there might be *outrageous and sickening* level of naïveté and that might be why the family is surrounding her the way they were and why she hasn’t been charged. She has made some *bad bad* choices but I just don’t know what fueled the bad choices. It’s sickening.
Justice for Maddie is the DP!!! I also feel JS should be punished. "Whatever that looks like/means" *something along the lines of what she saidwhen she was talking about finding maddie

She served her daughter up on a platter! Shameful excuse for a mother 😢
I fully agree she shouldn't have any more children after this
Biological mother least to say poor baby girl
Yup so the man was interested in her
It’s not even natural for a biological father to sleep with his teenage daughter. Much less an outsider. She needs to be charged.!
I agree with you, she is equally to blame & she should be in prison serving a lengthy sentence!
This is REALLY unsettling...imagine being SO desperate for a man you betray your own child in the worse way possible..he's vile and she's just as bad
You nailed it. She basically gifted that poor kid to him.
That's why she should be charged....
I agree it’s pathetic

I had cried and screamed please help me find my child. She's too cold so it's scary. I myself have 3 children and am single. No man has come into my home. My children are now 17,14 and 12. I protect my children because I know how scary some people can be. My children really do come first. Not a man. Seen too many horrible things in this world. She should be punished she absolutely did not protect her child at all.
Thus far she used poor judgement.
But even men do the same thing too. This is a common problem among divorced parents, they tend to care less about who they end up with as long as they seek companionship.
@@INDLISgood point. Audrili Cunningham was taken from the earth by her father’s best friend and I don’t think he’s being charged. The witch hunt should include both parents. Or whoever is in charge or should have been.
You sound like a great mom. 😊 Thanks for watching with Court TV! What do YOU think justice for Madeline looks like?
@@CourtTVthank you 🙏🏼 When my kids love out them I can maybe start dating. Who knows 😂. I see my friends having new ppl around there kids breaks my heart. Becouse I see also some kids dont feel good. I must tell you that I see something and say something. The father in the home when to prison just like this monster. But Sweden the law is so insane . We have max 18-21 years off M someone 🤬
Justice for Maddie is even the mom will get down I belive one day that will happend. She put her sweet child in the same bed as him. My blood boiles. He will one day burn in hell. Prison for life and I hope he drop his 🧼 in the shower also. If someone hurt my child trust me no one can stop me
Justice for sweet Maddie 💜🙏🏼 We love you
“We” woke up early and the plan was for “us” to get McDonalds… RED flags!!
I don’t get why those are red flags.
@@Mjan-81 Because he uses the pronoun “we” connected to the pronoun “us” in describing a plan that he and Madeline had… and in saying “we woke up and the plan was for us to go to Macdonalds,” he is admitting the young girl was sleeping with him, I think.
@SandyBanks-vk5dl Yes. It said more than he meant to say.
The fact that she’s willing to insert herself and risk jail for this man 🤦♀️🤦♀️this sh*t is appalling
@@SandyBanks-vk5dl that’s a reach
Thank you for your continued coverage of this case Vinnie. I don't think I can write enough words to describe this disgusting, vile waste of oxygen , demon. Stefan Sterns in my opinion deserves to suffer each minute of every day he still breathes the oxygen he isn't worthy of!! As for Jen Soto, surely after the lies she told initially, covering for the bf and admitting to allowing him to sleep next to Madeline etc, surely she has to face consequences for those choices. She let Madeline down in the worst way a Mother could by playing the innocence card and turning a blind eye. Madeline's innocence was taken in the most vile despicable way from the age of 8. That poor girl must have suffered so much at the hands of evil 😔
We'll stay on this case until we see #JusticeForMadeline. What do YOU think that looks like in this case?
@@CourtTV Jen Soto charged!!
This creature put her daughter in the bed with this disgusting individual. She needs to be punished. Poor Madeline. What should've been the best time of her life was a nightmare.
The mother is guilty also
Why?
@krystallovern6752 seriously?
@@krystallovern6752why?!!!! She literally served her up to him. She would send her to sleep in a bed with him alone. Wtf ?! In what world is that okay. Are you the mother??? I see you commenting a bunch defending the mother.. why are you on the mothers side?!!
The female officer was aware of his lies before anyone…. Even the way he speaks sounds calculated
There is absolutely no way on earth that mother didn’t know what was going on! You let your young blooming daughter sleep with a grown man (not her father) by themselves? It’s like she scheduled those nights for him to have access to her. Most unnatural situation. That mother is just as guilty!
He was complaining about cleaning horse stalls as a 10/11 year kid. Look what he had been doing to a CHILD
Poor baby rip sweetheart ❤
K from UK 🇬🇧 ❤
This case is right up there with the VanderArk fiasco and Lori Shallow
Don't forget about Chad Daybell
VanderArk is a good comparison. That poor boy was tortured by the people who were supposed to care for him the most. Much like Madeline. What does #JusticeForMadeline look like?
Could they both have been profiting financially from vile acts? Jen wasn't in a relationship with him? Was it business? Hence the tripod...she definitely is prioritising sterns.
What that forensics professor said about offenders that use the child until a certain age and then murder them haunts me. I think that’s what happened here.
Gosh...where is that stated? Must have missed it!
@@sandeeclingerman2992 he was on with Vinnie last week.
What mother doesn't attend her daughters party. If you have work you plan it when your off or take a day off. There's a lot on the mom that not making sense and is so sad! Poor sweet girl
Exactly 🤬 her actually birthday was days before the party. She didn't want to be there.
Always love to hear Dr. Brocato's perspective
I knew he was lying bc he gave to much information that didn't make sense. He is one sick individual. I hope they bury him under the jail. The Mom needs to be charged too. Letting her sleep with him is sick. There is no way the Mom didn't know something was going on. May Madeline rest in peace. 💔💔
Yes. Especially when they asked about any distinguishing features he is the one who answers, “She has a beauty mark on her face, you can’t miss it.”The mother isn’t describing her own child, this pervert is.
When I saw HER comforting HIM I knew something stank 🦨😡
Thank you Vinnie!! Madeline Soto needs justice!!
I think madeline had had enough and must of threatened to tell, thats why he had to murder her
I agree. Or finally told him No and he snapped
Or she was pregnant 😢
@@GSMommaOMG!!! Can't even go there...autopsy results?
@@GSMomma That crossed my mind as well! So sad. Wherever she is now is better than with these sick F*cks.
😮right..never thought about that 😨@@GSMomma
My Parents told me something years ago (about my lying boyfriend )
"If he will lie,
He will cheat
If he will cheat
He will steal
If he will steal
He will kill.
Do not entertain liars, their moral compass doesn't exist.
wow, that escalated quickly 😂😂😂
The more I learn about this case. The more angry I get. Jenn handed her daughter over to him. No one will ever convince me she was unaware of what he was doing. She may be involved as well. She can’t hide forever. Charges have to be coming for her! They both are despicable humans and need to be locked up forever.
Vinnie what gets me about Madeline Soto is her mom and Stephan Sterns keep saying WE !!
This is one of the most sickening stories I’ve ever heard and you definitely can’t tell me that no one knew about it
Just love how passionate you are in your interviews, 👍
I have depression and anxiety ... take medication. Do you know what I never did -- never neglected my child and never let my daughter sleep with my boyfriend!!!
Vinnie you the MAN!!!! Vinnie for President!!!!!
I would vote for him.
Thank you Vinnie for your update on this horrible case !!
What kid turns down McDonald's breakfast? This guy is RUBBISH.
But takes a Danish.
Don’t these crooks know that phones will be checked including deleted content.
What you seem to have missed was when the officer asked him: ‘and what did you do after that’ he simply repeated what he had observed of Madeline leaving the car and rummaging in her bag- it’s so obvious he hadn’t even sorted out what his story was for after he’d dropped her off--
There's no way Jens family knew. He squirmed being surrounded by them and had no where to sit, as the police recorded all of his creepy behaviour.
It definitely felt like they didn't like him or were suspicious about him for something. Especially during the body cam footage.
Wow this is just tragic and disturbing all-around… and in so many ways! One of the worst cases in recent memory.
I just have to say i love your show...you put so much effort imto making the media aware of these volitile criminals. I appreciate just watching you, keep it up Vinnie,!
😢 Such a tragic story of poor precious Madeline's life.... She deserved to be loved and kept safe by her mother, but lived in hell due to Jenn's neglect and irresponsible choices 😢. Thanks Vinnie for shining the light on this angel so she will get JUSTICE! ❤ Love you my friend ❤!
Didn’t realize the background for this case yet!! Great coverage- makes me nauseous!!!! Going ion deep dive now!!! Love ya Dave A!!!!💙🖤
I wonder if Madeline was pregnant.She looks.pregnant in the photo with the light colored dress.That could be the reason he wanted to eliminate her😢
Im thinking you're right. It's so horrible
Love you Vinnie ❤ Thank you!
RIP beautiful Maddie😢
So so sick he needs never to see the day of life
I live in Florida and there are so many crimes like this! And I hate Orlando!! Sex trafficking capital!! I watch my 12 yr old daughter like a HAWK!! Poor baby girl🥲 Angel in heaven ❤💔 I pray there isn’t any more victims!
My grandma moved to Florida (Polk county) when I was like in sixth grade. I was acting up at one point and my mom shipped me down to her, and wanted her to basically to put me in school down there cuz we were not getting along. But my grandma was basically saying the same thing you are. Way too much child kidnappings and trafficking happening, and that it isn’t a good place for me. Always been thankful she did that because now at 34 I realize she was absolutely right.
He is pathetic
I am saddened and sickened. This poor young girl, what a horrific situation of abuse to endure. The mother should also be held accountable. Lock up the boyfriend and throw away the key - period. Or death penalty if that is given.
Lock We up
“She was looking forward to my visit here” … I think that might be why he killed Madeline.
The relationship between Soto and him had deteriorated to them not being able to live with one another and he was afraid of what would happen when Madeline was free from his control because he was at his parents.
I hate this man. I hate Soto. She had one job, at the very end of the day, when you have kids, you have ONE JOB, to protect and raise up those innocent souls until they can themselves. Everything you do is centered around raising them up.
My heart is broken. I am disgusted. I cannot even listen to the description of the photos, understanding that these are of a child, at varying ages, from 8-12.
She wasn’t 13. She didn’t get to be 13 because of this vile excuse of a human.
Thank you so much for updating us !! Let’s not brush this case under the rug
Oh no! How did I miss my notification? 😔 Have to go back and rewatch with the awesome amazing re-play crew 🥰@CourtTv🤗
When a I was 15. My mother used to tell my 9yo sister to go "lay down & take a nap with Jimmy"-- a boyfriend she had met only 2 months prior and had moved in with us. This was back in the 80s, it struck me funny but my mother was a physically * emotionally abusive nightmare so by this time in my life I had a part time job after school and practically lived at my best friend's house. Years later, my sister told me Jimmy used to molest her during those "naps". When she told our mother, her response was, "well how was I supposed to know?" Yeah. I'm now 51, my sister is 45. To this day we don't know if our mother knew what was going on or if she was just an idiot. For over a decade I have gone no contact from my nightmare of a mother. My sister still has a relationship with her. Sadly, I don't talk to her much either.
These experts are soooo good, perspectives very enlightening!
No child should EVER have to suffer !! God help them please 🙏🏼
A twelve-year-old child or 13 should have their own room and not have to share with parents. Thats sick.
I agree, my kids were in their own rooms from around 6 months old. Something is certainly wrong here, even Maddie's grandma said that Maddie didn't like sleeping alone. I'd like to know more about Maddie's behaviour/habits from before pervie moved into their lives.
And there were 4 bedrooms in that condo. No excuse.
Besides obviously for Madeline, who didn’t stand a chance in this life, my heart goes out to the people who had to go through his phone. I used to have to read reports when I worked in forensic learning disabilities and they haunt you, watching videos must be a million times worse.
Thank you for your hard work !!!
It’s heartbreaking to listen but thank you so much Vinnie for discussing the case. RIP dear Maddie
And for Gods sake, why did Stephan answer more questions abut Madelines appearance, weight, beauty mark and clothing she was last wearing than her Mother Jennifer? Stephan said she was wearing blue or black pants and Jennifer said black shorts, wasn't poor Madeline found wearing blue jeans?
Vinny you’re definitely someone different I can never get enough of you ❤
This little girl needed protection.
Yes
By her mother
Thanks!
The mother must have known what was going on. No normal person would let a child sleep with your boyfriend, who does that its sickening.
The part that I hate is when he says, and she said I love you too😢
Vinny loving the show great work!!
There is no way to accidentally factory reset your phone😅
Love Dr. Brucato! I could listen to him for hours! So fascinating 👍
She had one child. One child to love and one child to protect and she failed. She deserves to be under the prison.
Why hasn't Jennifers Mother said if Stephan was at Madelines Birthday Party and what time he picked her up and left with her?? And hearing Stephan say "we had time to kill" made me ill
Yes.i believe this creep said d he got back into town at 830.orcam I wrong.
Where is the timeline for the mother , Jen got off from work allegedly at 8am he went back to that apartment around 8 . I bit money that this little girl was pregnant, and the mother lost it and killed her daughter. Stephen Stern is sitting in that chair crying while the mother is comforting him , that says it all. Notice how she never shedded a tear. She is cold-blooded 😡
SS is despicable & inhumane. The detectives were cool, calm, and collected...they knew he was lying. Allowing him to weave a web. He does not deserve to have a tongue. Justice for Maddie.
Why is she not in prison, she is such a liar, it's her own flesh and blood, why is she not hysterical screaming where is my daughter.. Anne from Scotland
So many people are giving the officer crap for being kind to Sterns on the drive. Being kind to someone completely undeserving shows he is a good Christian man with a kind heart.
Plus, everyone makes villains out of officers. They can't win no matter how they act.
I agree with you, that he's likely a good Christian man! 🙂
Religion has nothing to do with it. Cops are nice to suspects in order to get them to talk. It’s a common technique that works.
He may indeed be a good and godly man but perhaps his role here is to build a rapport to see what Sterns might say.
@@m.r.e.5731 Very valid point
It gets the suspect talking. Being rude or confrontational puts suspects on defense and they won’t tell on themselves.
The TRUTH WILL BE SHOWN✌️🌟⚖️♥️🤍💙
This is a horror story. Both of them should be charged.
I'm new to this case but as soon as he said she was 'snoozing mostly' and refused McDonalds I take it she was already desceased. I obviously need to watch much more on this.
I genuinely believe that when it comes to Jen Soto… I don’t think all the cylinders in the engine are firing and DO NOT mean that in a way that is making my fun of her or anything. Something is just not clicking up there and it may very well rise to the level criminality but I also believe there might be *outrageous and sickening* level of naïveté and that might be why the family is surrounding her the way they were and why she hasn’t been charged. She has made some *bad bad* choices but I just don’t know what fueled the bad choices. It’s sickening.
I concur
Lights on, but nobody was home
Agree
Part of me believes this …. She’s just not the sharpest tool …. Not even close. And that’s how he got away with abusing her child for years!
I agree the mom looks a slight bit disabled and is probably why she’s on disability
Are we sure it was only Stephen taking those pictures and video?
Justice for Maddie is the DP!!!
I also feel JS should be punished.
"Whatever that looks like/means" *something along the lines of what she saidwhen she was talking about finding maddie
