When Maddie Soto’s body was found hidden on a property in Osceola County on March 1st, several members of law enforcement entered the crime scene. The crime scene log shows Sheriff Marcos Lopez was one of those people. The next day, a photo that appeared to be the body of Maddie Soto appeared on the sheriff’s social media account as he touted a senior citizens event. Now, the state attorney has issued a citation for the post to Sheriff Lopez. Law&Crime’s Angenette Levy details the social media mishap and what consequences the sheriff could face in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

I took a crime scene investigation class where we covered the topic of who should be allowed in a crime in and my teacher also said that even if the police chief or any sort of supervisor requests to come it that they should not be allowed in
get Jen Soto to buy a 1 way plane ticket to Vietnam. Then we will really see if the feds have enough evidence to make an arrest 🤣
They're not even releasing her cause of death but they're okay with telling us that she was giving him head, weird
Why were those photos on his phone to begin with? They're crime scene photos no?
Stop calling her a teen it was literally the day of . She was a molested CHILD
Poor Maddie 😢
Disgusting
He sounds scripted
4:59
“She’s severely ADHA, as am I and her mother.”
WHAT? That is a ridiculous statement. People like SS always bring the story back to themselves.
The fact that they said Looking for Another kid is disturbing especially in front of parents
The Add is super weird
If she was nude in the photo wouldnt him and whoever sent it to him be liable for distribution of materials involving a minor?
This is so wrong on all levels! She’s in a better place! This so called earth has failed her in every way! 😔😔😔
The sick part is it truly seems like a lot of the cops are part of a big boys club and they say really disparaging and sexually charged things about female victims and defendants as we have just recently seen in the karen reed trial it’s appalling
Paying the fine doesnt explain how that occurred, especially when photos of her being assaulted were being sold????????
Dont think he meant disrespect…
Yeah right you don't "accidently" post something like that on social media. He knew exactly what he was doing.
This sheriff is a psycho. He need to be in jail.
Sherriff, Sherriff, Sherriff, WTH were you thinking?
Truly disgusting. Maddie is still being victimized even after her death.
reminds me of Bianca's law and her case 🙁
Sick in the head america
Huh?!? Wtf is wrong with that social-media-simping little twunt? So much for being a cut above the rest of us—what with their highly-specialized training and all. 🙄
Seriously, aren’t cops supposed to be the chosen people? Aren’t they supposed to be the ones who are like everybody else but except they have the superior training that enables them to face all sorts of scary situations and ways that normal people can’t
I have way more respect for people who own it, apologize and move on.
How is this a mistake? Why was he taking pics on what I'm assuming was his personal phone????!!!!
How was it “obviously a mistake?” STOP
The bug question is: is her mom involved and did they cover up for eachother?
Someone from our local city council released a picture on his Facebook of a young lady's decapitated arm. Ppl have no respect smh
Poor kid still being abused while in rest 😢
This is identical to the Cop who sold photos of the crash scene & the photos of the remains of (KOBE BRYANT & GIGI BRYANT) & that person is being sued by the Widow of KOBE. He actually sold the photos to 3 different outlets (THE SUN/ NATIONAL ENQUIRE/ & TMZ) The photos were actually sold for a huge amount of $
The Sun paid: $65,000
National Enquire Paid: $120,000
TMZ Paid the biggest amount of all which was $415,000
Can’t trust 5-0 judgment
Even if it was an accident lets break that down.
Ok for all intensive purposes lets say that the sheriff posted it by accident but my question to that is WHY WAS A PHOTO OF A MURDER VICTIM EVEN ON YOUR PERSONAL PHONE AT ALL ? And if he says "It wasn't my personal phone it was a work phone. Well, ok now my question would be WHY DO YOU HAVE INSTAGRAM ON YOUR WORK PHONE?
THEN THE BIGGEST QUESTION IS: WHY WAS THAT PHOTO ON EITHER ONE OF YOUR PHONES? MY UNCLE IS A DETECTIVE WITH HOMICIDE IN BALTIMORE MD & WHENEVER HE IS ON SCENE OF A HOMICIDE YOU DO NOT USE YOUR CELLPHONE & SNAP SHOTS OF THE BODY, THERE IS A FULL TEAM OF CSI FOLKS WHO BRING IN PROFESSIONAL CAMERAS & SUCH TO DOCUMENT THE SCENE WITH PHOTOS. THIS IS COMPLETELY OUTRAGEOUS ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT
Sterns is so creepy-looking especially in that mugshot!!
The sheriff was obviously tampering with evidence and I wouldn’t doubt that he or someone he knows is responsible for this precious child being murdered. This is absolutely ridiculous and he should be charged and forced to step down and never allowed to work in any capacity as a LEO period!!
What? 😢
7:12 you don’t know 😅is this HCTIB SERIOUS he either took the photo or got it from someone else 😅he has it on his phone they should start checking these cops phones I bet majority of them have weird stuff on they phone from cases
I saw the photo on 4chan. I regret it and very sad and angry!
The mom definitely knows what happened she’s guilty af
They need to check all these cops phones I bet they will find a bunch of sick stuff
Sick and disgusting, he knew what he was doing 😢
Sounds like some satanism going on..
I live in Osceola county and have been seeing his re-election campaign signs everywhere but holy crap! I didn’t know about this FB scandal 😱
