When Maddie Soto was reported missing last February, police tried to find her body after they realized that she was dead. They searched the home of Stephan Sterns’ parents. Newly released documents reveal startling statements made by Sterns’ mother about a “sex torso” she believed she’d found in her home and her fears about Maddie. Law&Crime’s Angenette Levy details what Sterns’ mother told police in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

Don't forget Debra Sterns, paid off one of his roommates when he found video of his girlfriend taken by S.S. and CSAM on a shared computer. Debra knew he shouldn't have been around children and failed to warn the Soto family. I have no doubt Debra knew exactly what her son was, before all of this went down.
She also did that on the jailhouse kiosk, which she knows is recorded like anything in the jailhouse she did that she was very manipulative and calculating with that
Why didn’t her mom go to her birthday party 😢 poor girl was sad bc barely anyone went to her Bday party AND her mom wasn’t there either. Rest in Peace Maddie, you deserve to fly free and happy ❤
Her mother's served her up to this man. She should be charged
That poor child was most likely pregnant & He killed her because of that.
So sad…
The mother should be charged as well! Very disturbed that she told him to go sleep in the guest bedroom with her daughter- because she needed rest!😡😡
Charge the mom too!
Where is the trial for this monster
Name redacted , girl just say the name
This mother not being charged yet is an embarrassment and disgusting for the state of Florida.
What a nightmare of a life Maddie was subjected to. Two shameful adults killed her. Not just one.
She was probably pregnant at the time she was killed… We won't know that until trial bc she is a minor.. I highly believe she was pregnant 💯💯💯
Mother is just as responsible
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤
Jennifer Soto is not a mother by any stretch of imagination.
Oh Jenniferhow would she know how to get to her Grandma when you to told us she could maybe point her way home..And you differently need to learn how to FAKE CRYING.
Why the he'll is she not arrested too?!
After listening to this about the possibility of other boyfriends have abused Maddie then mother would want daughter dead cause she knew at some point the true would surface at some point . Very sad ! RIP Maddie.
17:25 Respectfully, I believe I’ve heard from several other sources that are covering this case that it wasn’t Sterns who visited the storage unit, as previously thought, and that they don’t know who it was who actually did.
Mom needs to rot in jail!
Makes me sick to my stomach. I hope they charge her mother too!!!
I don’t think the guys mother is saying he’s innocent. I think she’s saying that the girls mother is guilty too and should be in there with him.
Yes even if he is looking at a death penalty and admits the mother was in on it it will matter who he implicate cause they also deserve the same sentence as this perpetrator, I say the boyfriend and mother are guilty the interview they did show !!!
He purposely misstated the type of bottoms Madeline was wearing because he definitely knew…. because he's the one who forcefully removed them before taking her life.
When they starting the gran jury for the criminal 😮
Ok sooooooooo we still go keep pretending mom knew nothing and should be charged as well 🙄😑🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️😢smh wtf she aided in the situation
Its all the moms fault she suppose to protect her not chose a man over her and let him do whatever he wants to her🤔
I will continue to be single before allowing any man this close to my kids. Let alone sleep w/ my kids 🤮. This mother failed her child and there’s no way she had no idea. She should be charged equally w/ this sick efffff…
I think the mom did it and had him get rid of her daughter 😢. She needs to be put in jail
When is the mom going to be arrested ????
If the mother was involved then she wouldn’t have seem maddie that morning as she was already gone, makes you wonder.
Stop showing that MONSTER’S face. It makes me vomit. What is the purpose of continually sharing it?
His mother doesn’t seem like she thought this crime was something her son could not do. Seems like she believed he done it, that’s why she was out shouting in the woods smh!
