Madeline Soto missing: Florida mom begs for daughter's safe return home

A mother in Orange County is begging for help locating her missing daughter.

www.fox35orlando.com

Madeline ‘Maddie’ Soto was last seen on Monday, one day after she and her family celebrated her 13th birthday. Maddie’s mother, Jenn Soto, said surveillance video shows Maddie hanging out in a church parking lot on February 26 after being dropped off for school, but she never made it inside.

Jenn Soto said sheriff’s deputies are using K9s and a piece of Maddie’s clothing to try to track her scent near Town Loop Boulevard.

(Her mother says that she forgot to take her phone that morning, but that isn't unusual.)

Allowing Madeline Soto's mother to be discussed as a possible suspect.

Because mainstream media reports, including WFTV 9 of Jennifer Soto giving law enforcement information that "does not add up," we will allow Jennifer to be discussed as a possible suspect.

This DOES NOT mean you are allowed to make up names to be used instead of her real name (momster), and it does not mean that you can be snarky and mean.

You can discuss her conflicting stories when it comes to the disappearance and murder of her daughter, Madeline, and what the implications of those conflicting stories could mean.

Please discuss this like adults without name-calling or personal snark.

Thank you,

Since Madeline's mother, JS, has stated on her social media that she is bipolar we will allow links to her social media.

JS omitted quite a lot of info from her media interviews - she didn't tell us why she didn't drop MS off at school herself that day - it was "we" or it was SS. She didn't tell us what she did all day - she only told us that she went to get her daughter, and that when the school emailed her back to say Maddie wasn't in school all day, that is when she knew something was truly wrong. She didn't say if she went INTO her mother's office nearby the school to check for her daughter. She didn't even say if she was frantically calling or texting Maddie while driving around looking for her. She didn't say where she went after realizing MS wasn't in school that day - did she go home? Did she wait at the school for police? Did she mobilize family and friends to come help? She didn't say if she frantically called SS in case he'd heard from her or she went home - ya know, the home she didn't think Maddie knew the address for....

Sorry to ask an obvious question, I stepped away from this one as its so devastating. Is her mum an official suspect?

 

[AnyNameIWish]

. Is her mum an official suspect?

In the most recent announcement....

Asked if Soto's mother is considered a person of interest, Police Chief Holland said, "Everyone close to Madeline is considered a suspect until proven otherwise."

_______
Also taking into consideration her inconsistent statements given to various media outlets and police... many of us are in the YES camp. But technically not "officially" a suspect.
But NOT NOT a suspect, either!!

It’s notable to me because in the earlier press conference they said “no” and now it’s like “ehhhhh, we’ll see!”

I just had a thought after reading about how "we" dropped her off for school for like the bazillionth time...

If JS was the one who normally took Maddie to school per G'ma... (which makes total sense as it was her daughter)... why would she ask SS to accompany her this one time? We know she didn't actually do that because we know SS was seen driving back with her... but why even state that's what happened? It's totally unnecessary to drag your BF/husband/roomate along with you, that early in the morning, for a quick trip down the street. I'm thinking that "admission" alone raised LE's eyebrows because it just doesn't even make sense. All MOO

No, not officially. Per Tricia's post at the upper portion of every thread in this case:

[Vaderman]

It's been about a month since she was located and no charges for murder or additional arrests. I am beginning to feel that this was a suicide.

I also wonder if she/they tried to call or text Maddie's phone, if they did not, big red flag!

 

[Megnut]

There is no upside to a rapid arrest.

The key suspect is already in jail facing charges sure to stick. LE can take its time developing its case. Any accomplice, accessory, co-conspirator isn't going anywhere either. Not a particular, immediate threat, and perhaps more valuable to LE unarrested than arrested. Accomplices, accessories, co-conspirators can be a data-mining bonanza if they spill it.

A month feels like forever for those who think justice comes swiftly, but in reality, a month is an investigation in its infancy.

No arrest a year from now, that's when we start to worry.

IMO it won't come to that.

[Hestia's Fire]

Given what we've heard about SS's propensity for pharmaceutical use, I would have been surprised to have seen a murder charge already. It can take 6 weeks or longer for toxicology screens to come back, and I'm sure law enforcement wants all of that information before determining a murder charge.

 

[Observant-ADHD-ENFP-BSc]

It's been about a month since she was located and no charges for murder or additional arrests. I am beginning to feel that this was a suicide.

I have considered this before, but the idea gets shot down because of the LE press thinger said it is a homicide investigation. Yet, saying that, they have changed their minds on other things. Maybe they have regarding MOD; for example, maybe in the beginning, it was cut and dry; they found the video of SS dumping stuff and the unalive MS, then found the crap on his phone. It looks like SS killed her. But maybe toxicology or other forensic or investigative evidence has led them to suicide instead?
