Statements made by Jennifer Soto regarding the murder of her daughter aren’t adding up!
As we’ve been reporting, Madeline “Maddie” Soto disappeared on February 26. Five days after the 13-year-old was reported missing, police discovered her body in a wooded area in St. Cloud, Florida. The cause of death has not been determined yet, but law enforcement does have a suspect currently — her mom’s boyfriend.
Stephan Sterns is believed to be the last person to see Maddie. He told Osceola County sheriff officials he dropped her off down the road from her school on the day she was reported missing. But that seems to have been a lie. Police discovered surveillance footage that showed Sterns throwing items in a dumpster at an apartment complex. When cops searched the dumpster, they came across Maddie’s backpack and school-issued laptop. Another video also shows Sterns driving a vehicle in the area of Hickory Tree Road, allegedly with the body of Maddie inside, between 1:00 and 2:30 p.m. on the day she vanished. That same street was where police found Maddie’s remains.

Sterns has been arrested — though not for Maddie’s death. Despite all of the evidence against him, he has not yet been charged for her murder. As of right now, Sterns was only charged with sexual battery and possession of child sexual abuse material. Police uncovered evidence, including explicit videos and photos of Maddie from when she was 11 years old on his phone, that Sterns had been sexually abusing her for nearly two years. So, so awful.
When it comes to her murder, the investigation into that is still ongoing. So far, though, there have been some major mishaps in the case —
