Found Deceased FL - Madeline Soto, 13, Missing Child Alert, 13500 blk Town Loop Blvd, Orlando, 26 Feb 2024 *arrest* #11

[Seattle1]

Just a quick question. JS had a 350 dollar botox appointment that afternoon. She canceled it the same day she had the appointment on the 26th. She wanted to save money. I don't know how that works in the US but if i cancel a similar appointment over here so last minute. They charge at least a certain amount if not the whole amount of money. Does someone know if you can just cancel last minute without paying anything?

Which are generally covered by insurance, which I am assuming she had, since she had no problem financially with the blood draw.

So many unusual happenings that day:

One of the first times SS dropped Maddie at school (per latest interview with JS)
SS gets flat tire for the first time in ten years (per one of his interviews)
SS accidentally left his phone at home not once but twice
JS cancels Botox appointment at the last minute because she couldn't afford it
SS enters JS's bedroom for the first time ever to put the leash on the dog (her latest interview)*

*About that. It sounds as though the dog was on the bed when SS purportedly tried to put the leash on him, because she didn't want him to pee on the bed.

If so, that would mean that the dog was allowed to sleep with JS when she really needed "good sleep", but Maddie was not. Maddie had to go sleep with her abuser.

cosmetic injection AFAIK, that wouldnt be covered by health insurance...but of course, we dont what JS had for health coverage... if it was for medicinal purposes, could have had a high deductible which she had to reach before coverage would kick in. another unknown.

lots of new BS backpedaling in this interview. and IMO, the whispering answers, mostly no's or dont remember, etc are indictive of deception. again. as usual.

what stood out to me was she slept with the door cracked open with a stopper holding the door for the cat to come in and out. ok. so she clearly has more audio ability and bedroom is so close to the kitchen. BUT, she claims she DOES wake up at times when the sleep ap sleep sounds on the tv goes off and puts it back on with the remote. sleep sounds aps/machines drown out noise but she says she heard cabinets opening and closing. AND she does wake up contrary to previous statements that she sleeps through the nite.

AND: SS came back downstairs to use the bathroom after leaving with Madeline to go up to that bedroom.

Here is the audio only of the recently released interview with JS.

this is interesting: a business entity was formed and used the residence as his business in 2012, but then the business was dissolved a year later.

It's interesting that apparently Maddie was strangled, and in the WFTV interview JS says she feels like she can't breathe.

"No, no, no, anything could happen, I didn't know her Dad, I didn't know her brother, I didn't know anybody there, I don't know what could happen to you, just afraid of her getting assaulted".

Good point this could definitely be an unfortunate isolation tactic to prevent Maddie from confiding in other adults or friends or gaining the attention of those who would alert LE, CPS, the school or their most trusted social services program.

I wonder too if this could be a cultural thing too or a rule JS herself had to follow as a kid. I have a lot of friends and cousins, particularly those on my dad’s side from the West Indies, who were not allowed to go to sleepovers because their parents also had this rule.

I think too growing up a lot of parents stressed stranger danger to their kids not knowing that it is actually the people at home or who have the most access to your room or home that pose the biggest threat to kids. I think today that information is more commonly discussed now with parents and guardians at schools, hospitals and PTAs.

So if that is true…… yet they are receiving money from SS for rent?

IIRC JS may have let SE may live at the apartment for free if he agreed to babysit Maddie after school and while JS was still at work. I’m not sure about how JS’ parents felt about but I do recall multiple interviews emphasizing her parents did not like him at all and were glad when he moved out. A friend of JS said once on a podcast that JS and her mom did not get along either which may have led to her using SS instead for childcare unfortunately.

He sounds somewhat like a free loader who likes to take advantage of people. For example, Maddie said to a friend once she didn’t like having him live with them anymore and that he ate all their food.

He also complained about living with his parents because they were old and had dogs but he lived with them for free and while unemployed. He also would borrow his dad’s car.

"and so despite having moved on with other people you were still having Stephan come up and visit and there was plans to cohabitate with him again potentially? A: possibly yes'

sooooooooo, seems like she was back out on the dating scene but not letting go of SS.

I think SS has a history of staying at JS even when they broken up according to one of his court docs discussing an ex-partner’s testimony. Supposedly he would watch over Maddie during this time but likely he was abusing her instead and cleaning and hiding the evidence before her mother got home. Maddie deserves justice and every child deserves to be safe from such disgusting predatory behaviors.

A: no there have been, she's had other periods that have been missed or like super late

To be fair it is not that uncommon teenagers and girls who recently started their period, like those between 11-12 years old, may miss a period because their hormones and cycles are still regulating themselves and have not yet adjusted to the regular every 28-31 days that we are taught to expect.

Would constipation appointments involve an external physical exam, though? I don't know.

Yes, in medical school and on the floor medical providers could do abdominal and anal exams and do swabs and stool tests via the use of gloves depending on the symptoms, like pain level, how often it occurs, if blood is present, fever, vomiting and such.

Regular abdominal pain, particularly lower abdominal pain, even if associated with constipation or constipation associated with one’s menstrual cycle, may also cause the doctors to do pelvic exams and vaginal swabs with parents or, in some states, adolescent patients permission.

Some of these physical exam tests may not be enough though and require the use of more invasive or technical procedures, like ultrasounds, laparoscopy or colonoscopy.

I recall from some of my psych reading that sadly constipation is can be a common complaint or symptom among minors, especially children, who are suffering from chronic sexually abuse. I hope that perhaps Maddie’s medical records or doctors can be of further help in advocating for justice for her through their testimonies and notes so that law officials and LE can get a full picture of Maddie’s experience while humanizing and making her voice stronger as her story gets shared and told in the court of law.

OMG. I am listening to this interview again and a lightbulb went off: when asked about whether Maddie would have come in and said goodbye before leaving for school, JS, at this point knowing that her daughter is dead and was never dropped off at school that day, waffles. "I would have hoped she would."

When the correct answer is "No, obviously she was dead by then."

For whatever reason, she's still sticking to the original story.

Edited: and she repeats "we dropped her off" when by then the entire world KNEW Maddie was never dropped off.

Good to know, thank you

 

[Poedelini]

All right. so she picks it out, but does she physically take it out of somewhere wherever she stores her clothes and put it somewhere?
*JS said, im not sure. Im not sure if she took her clothes upstairs with her or anything like that.*

All right. so far, you didn't see them in your room, and did you have the opportunity to kind of see her cubby part of the living room to see if she had put them on her bed or anything like that?
*JS said, i hadn't seen no.*

Does MS have like a water bottle or a hydro flask or whatever the kids call it that she likes to sleep with or bring it up or bring wherever she is sleeping?
*JS said, Hmmmmmmmmmmm, typically not. That stays downstairs in her backpack and then she'll clean it in the morning and then fill it back up and then leave it in her backpack. That typically stays in her backpack.*

Okay, favorite stuffed animal or stuffed animals, anything that always goes with her wherever she is sleeping?
*JS said, uhhh she does have a few stuffies and blankies. Did i see any that day? *

Yeah specifically did you see if she brought any that stuff upstairs with her?
*JS said, no i didn't see any of that stuff upstairs. *

Now separate question, generally, habitually, like your attorney was saying. There is a difference between specific memory, but generally would she do that? Not saying that you saw that night.
*JS said, Generally would she do what? *

Have stuffies and her blankets and her favorite stuff.
*Js said, uh yes, she typically would.*
