Stephan Sterns, the boyfriend of Florida teen Maddie Soto’s mom, has been charged in her murder nearly 8 weeks after she vanished. Maddie disappeared on February 25, shortly after photos showed her celebrating her 13th birthday with friends. Sterns also faces dozens of sex crimes charges. While Sterns faces a murder charge, questions remain about Maddie’s murder and whether other people were involved. Law&Crime’s Angenette Levy looks at the questions that remain with retired NYPD cold case sergeant Joe Giacalone in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

Liar, liar pants on fire
You turned your head?? ,how dare you !!!
Both he and the mother flip flop between I and we. I notice he just said the last time we saw her but the Mom was not supposed to be with them.
The "Mother" offered up her own daughter up to him, she knew deep down what was going on. She needs prison time too.
The mother is just as guilty
There is absolutely no way her mother did not know all of this was going on.
The mom ought to be ashamed, there's no way she didn't know this was happening but was too desperate to keep a man
Where was the mother who was suppose to keep her daughter safe!?
Someone needs to tell mom that this dude was NEVER interested in her. He wanted her daughter.
Omg
The step dad even said in an interview re her disappearance that he dropped her off at school but she was asleep on the way. Hes obviously said that cos he knew he may have been seen driving with her body but by saying she was asleep he hopes people will pass it off as such. Instead he was actually confessing to driving her dead body to dispose of… such a total lack of empathy. He even said it before she was even found
This is why I will be single forever. I couldn’t even imagine this happening to my baby.
Some women really do not deserve to have children…💔😭
JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED WHEN ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO CONTRIBUTED IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE… OMISSION IS AS DAMNING AS COMMISSION ❗️JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED PRECIOUS ANGEL 💚🪽
The mother has to have known something was going on here. There is no way that she couldn;t have! so sad.
The mother is inoccent until proven guilty i daught she was involved in the murder of her daughter and let the police continue with the investigation instead of saying she should be in jail
Usual suspects.
I fully believe the mom was aware the whole time.
Why would you not pursue death penalty? If ever a case qualified to the letter, this is it.
Any more on 11 year old Audrii Cunningham murder?
It’s so mind boggling to me the person who has blasted their ugly mug all over the news and been the main one lying is not behind bars for their part in this. I won’t call her a mother bc she’s NOT.
I never noticed how bad she’s shaking in the news interview. She neeeeeervous for not the right reasons
Stop choosing these weirdos over your children! 😢 rip maddie 🕊
After living to the mom i feel like she knew.
RIP Madeline. I am sorry no one really looked at you and saw you on your 13th birthday. No one noticed your pain and suffering. Everyone was living in a dream, except you little baby.
Stephen Sterns worked as a real estate agent? Just sad. This whole case is beyond sad to me. I thought florida was big on background checks and fingerprints?
Was he sharing Madeline and her photos with politicians, judegs, etc?
I am so ashamed of my party. Does it seem like we have gone to far left? I am heartbroken for this child and our party's doing nothing as usual. Does it seem criminals go free now?
5:07 LOOK AT HER EYES REMEMBERING what she did to her daughter Madeline.
4:59 Why are Madeline's mommies eyes dilated? LOOK. Mira LOOK pronto
4:55 Maddie's mother's eyes remind me of a pitbull, I saw on Cesar Chaves training videos. She is dreaming and remembering tearing apart another dog. Her eyes are up in her head, JUST like we do when we are remembering. She is not looking down to think of a story. She is not looking straight ahead in shock. She is shaking, looking up into the window of her brain. She is remembering because SHE WAS THERE. Do you notice how mommy's eyes are out of sync?
Heartbreaking to think what that poor little girl’s life was before that monster ended it. May you rest in peace now dear Maddy. I’m so sorry you had to endure all of that evil. Bless you always
Are you seriously thinking the mother had no idea that those pics were in his phone?
Years of footage? 🤔
He looks creepy
Have Joe back often!
Never trade your children for love. Children are forever
Ok now get the Mom!!,!,!! Guilty AF. As my Mom myself – our children are extensions of us. There is nothing a (proper) mother wouldn’t do for her child.
Life for a life
was she pregnant? maybe thats what triggered him?
What a grot
They are going to have a field day with him in prison , fresh meat 😈
This is such an incredibly tragic story.😭💔💯 As WOMEN & as MOMS, we ALL have that 6th Sense (womens intuition).💯 I am SURE the mom SUSPECTED something or KNEW something.💯
I'm a single mom and this is why I just don't even have an interest in dating messing around with anyone my daughter is three and I just don't want to have to trust anyone this much to take advantage of her I'm soo content with it just being me and her
And how about the mom???? She needs to be charged too!!!!!
