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.)

The judge in Wednesday afternoon's hearing granted the defense's motion to continue and set a status hearing for Oct. 14 at 9 a.m. That's for both Sterns' first degree murder charge and the 60 additional charges.

"We have quite a bit of work to do on the case," Sterns' attorney said during the hearing.

Sterns was not in court, as he waived his appearance.

This is all happening quickly. I guess they don't force anyone to attend their own trial anymore, but he should have to face the facts.

Which excuse will JS present for failure to appear in court as the mother of the abused, murdered Maddie? MH of course (since she is so knowledgeable about this topic). MOO

Is there information that she won’t be appearing in court?

I had assumed she will likely be a witness, and as such will probably be prohibited from attending trial.

But if she doesn't attend the trial, I think it would be understandable. Not everyone can handle that. I recall a different case in which the mother requested to not be told by anyone the details of how her children were murdered. Sometimes families leave the courtroom for parts of trials. People can't always handle the load of painful details.

She has not been charged with any crime.

Somehow, that doesn't seem to matter. Folks will continue to paint her in the worst possible light.

Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure provide for a defendant to waive attendance for pretrial hearings. I expect SS will opt for this whenever he has the choice.

Cowards, well, do coward. I'm fine with not seeing his face until trial...

He can't really be troubled by hearings when he has books to read and instructions and demands to formulate and deliver. He's very important. In his mind.

And why leave the comforts of his jail cell when it suits him so well.

Career freeloader.

Maybe, you are right re witness.
Info I have not; I strongly assumed and (audible) asked myself.

Your first paragraph: I have understanding.

Your second paragraph: I have less understanding, but I have to accept.

I see some YouTubers have (allegedly) gotten a hold of additional public records that I think might have come from the Osceola County Sheriff's Department, so I put in a request there today. Part of it is (alleged to be) audio, so I'm trying to think if there is any good way to host and share audio on WS. Anyone have ideas? I don't particularly want to, but I might be crazy enough to transcribe it if I can't find a solution.

I don't watch true crime YouTubers so I'm not familiar with who is WS-approved or not, but I'm guessing someone who is approved will have it soon enough, if they don't already.

Thanks for making the request with OCSD.

On the toolbar, there's an icon to "insert video" which I believe also works for an audio file such as mp3. I think I did this once (dragged audio file to the box) to attach audio embedded in a tweet that would not otherwise copy. Good luck!

Madeline Soto case: Police have no plans to charge Jennifer Soto, sources say

unbelievable. It may not be against the law for a mother to consistently send her boyfriend and barely teen daughter off to go share a bed but my God it should be. I am livid. All I can hope is that JS gets everything she deserves in life by way of karma.

I need to go cool off.

I despise this woman with every fiber of my being. I hope she is suffering every day but I honestly believe she doesn't care that Maddie is gone. She didn't care about her when she was alive, so I don't see her caring that she is dead. I wouldn't be surprised if she finds herself another man asap because that seems to be her priority.

Madeline Soto case: Police have no plans to charge Jennifer Soto, sources say

Jennifer told deputies that she began to worry when Maddie didn’t come out of school and wasn’t there all day.

www.wftv.com

8/21/24

Sources told Channel 9′s Shannon Butler that Jennifer Soto has done nothing criminal so far, so she will not face charges.

Channel 9 has obtained a video recording of Orange County Sheriff’s Office detectives interviewing Jennifer Soto at 11:30 p.m. Feb. 27 after her daughter was reported missing.

[..]

During the interview, Jennifer Soto’s answers were hard to come by as she told investigators that she had taken medicine and was a little spacey.

Deputies have not found any evidence to charge her at this time.

ETA: IMO, headline a bit misleading. Detectives don't make charging decisions -- the DA does on the totality of the evidence. Are they saying they've concluded the investigation?
