Found Deceased FL - Madeline Soto, 13, Missing Child Alert, 13500 blk Town Loop Blvd, Orlando, 26 Feb 2024 *arrest* #6

[BeeGirl]

The 27th? Does that mean she could have still been alive that Tuesday? I thought she was seen deceased on Monday.

I has a confuse.

This is the most intriguing and frightening part of this new information.

We’ve speculated for weeks here about whether he murdered her late Sunday (25th) after the party.

The police themselves have said they have reason to believe she was already gone the morning of the 26th.

Where was she on the 27th? We know he was seen with a flat tire near where she was found. I am sick hoping she was not suffering.

I've removed the misinformation posted by Ashley W. w/court tv. Hope others will remove any duplicate post which were coping my initial post, as well. TIA.

God, I’m so confused.

This is the reason I believe they gathered enough info to charge him and some of it might have been gathered from JS interview.
And it could have been as simple as being caught in a lie. I’m not leaning towards she disclosed the info willingly.

I am aware of that--in fact, premeditation can occur in just a few minutes--but premeditated is premeditated.

Catching up, but agree with this - that means it wasn’t an accidental death in the course of assaulting her.

I so want to know where Jen was and what she was doing when SS was dumping the backpack and Maddie.

And in her interview she said “we” dropped her off.” Why would she say that if she wasn’t in the car with them or was she just repeating what he told her to say? I don’t know, but there’s something really fishy going on with this case. IMO

Exactly.

 

[lightofmine99]

Everything indicates to me that:

A. There's a whole lot more going on here than it initially looked
B. There is zero concrete reason to believe there won't be another arrest or more

How often do we get pressers for first degree murder charges where they can't answer 98% of questions?

This was a flag to me, but not sure if I’m reading too much into standard terminology?
“We’ve got to look at accessory aggravating factors that are laid out in our report,” he said. “Once we determine that we have sufficient evidence to prove those factors to the proper evidentiary standard, then we have to have a talk about whether this is a death penalty case.” State Attorney Andrew Bain said

Stephan Sterns charged with first-degree murder in death of 13-year-old Madeline Soto

The Orange-Osceola state attorney and Kissimmee police chief will give an update on a "case of public interest."

I'm sure they have to be investigating if Sterns in any way distributed his, uh, wares to others either for financial gain or just because. But that wouldn't be related to the murder charges.

SSS (Stephan Sterns Sucks)

 

[IzzyBlanche]

So she’s not considered an accomplice to this abuse and/or murder?

Not that has been publicly shared.

 

[IzzyBlanche]

If he is still not talking…I think the reason he got charged is because they uncovered something in HER interview(s).

What interviews are you referring to? I listened to the presser twice and this wasn't mentioned.

They were speaking of a hypothetical interview.

Thanks for the interpretation.

It didn't sound like that to me. It was misleading. Phrasing!

Please post a link to this interview. I am unaware of it.

Please post a link to this interview. I am unaware of it.

The very last update presser (not today’s ) the chief is asked if the family is cooperating, particularly JS. The chief answers that JS has given them one interview.
I don’t have the link right now, but I know it’s in the media thread.

They were speaking of a hypothetical interview.

Osceola chief disclosed during her presser some weeks ago that JS cooperated by giving them one interview.
If SS is not talking (still), I am thinking when they interrogated JS they came upon a clue that gave them enough “in” to start putting a solid case for 1st degree murder charges . She could have disclosed the truth on her own, but I’m not leaning that way.

I have a transcription here from @Mack the Knife

It appears she gave a single interview, which makes less than zero sense, suspect or not. So she either lawyered up, or she declined. I would have expected multiple interviews.

The poster says in the sentence, "I believe", so I read it as meaning their personal opinion. They also said "might" have gotten info from an interview, so it wasn't stated as fact imo. I personally read it as an opinion statement, fwiw.

Bain in interview with local news. Nothing terribly new, can't tell us much, can't tell us if they'll pursue DP. "Pretty horrific and violent past and life/ existence for the last several years"... referring to Maddie's life. Shockingly sad words, to describe the life of a 13 year old child.
