Hi! New here. What time did mom’s alibi start? Neither JS or SS was at the birthday? Who drove MS home? What time? Who was home there? If mom worked during the party, she’s claiming she worked overnight too? That’s an awfully long shift. What were her hours?

Welcome, @Vanilletx !

 

[Forest_Wood]

Thank goodness for that guy ringing in with his camera footage. Because of him, she didn't have to lie out there for weeks, months, years, like some do.

MOO

Was there video of camera footage of SS being seen? Was it posted?

The way JS kept saying "we" and seemingly inserting herself in the school drop-off reminded me of the way my partner will tell people that "we" did a bunch of things around the house all weekend until I side-eye him into admitting that I actually did it all while he slept in and had a nice rest. It is clearly untruthful but not malicious, IMO- he subconsciously realizes he should have been up and helping out and not leaving it all to me and therefore starts to say "we" did things so he doesn't have to confront the uncomfortable feelings of not pulling his weight in certain areas. IMO, that may have been what JS was feeling as the spotlight was suddenly on her and her parenting and people were questioning why she was at work and not at her daughter's party, whether she was looking after her daughter that night, why SS was taking Madeline to school instead of her, etc. Like she may have been feeling uncomfortable about how much she's been relying on SS to handle parenting tasks now that the whole world is picking apart the timeline of where she was and where her daughter was and all that.

I can't for the life of me figure out what would make her say she saw Madeline getting dressed for school at 8:00 a.m. when we know that's just not true, however.

Agree 100%

She realized she wasn't paying attention and tried to write herself into the morning.

Right. That’s a big question mark, and a problem.

There is one thing in using we when discussing household chores,it is totally different when you are talking about your missing daughter when accuracy is vital especially when speaking directly to LE. She lied .

Does anyone know if the birthday party was held at Maddy’s biological dad’s family’s house? That could account for why her mom wasn’t at the party. Doubtful SS was in attendance there. But how did Maddy get home from the party? Did SS pick her up or was she dropped off and SS was there to let her in while her mom was still at work? Guessing none of these details have been made available publicly.

Mom said she wasn't at the party because she had to work.

Also she said the birthday party was with her whole family, IIRC.

Mom said in one of the interviews that the party was with her family. I took that to mean with the Mom's family?

Yes. Lying to investigators about your missing minor child is more serious than doing so to friends and family about chores. Although I did understand to a degree why the poster made that connection, of course.

 

[KMouse]

I am curious if he is listed as a contact for her at school and if he is marked as allowed to pick her up/sign her out.

MS would be in middle school and I doubt that there is a pick up list for kids that age.

Yes, of course it's different, and it's a big problem especially now that we know what really happened. I'm just trying to put myself in her place for a moment and assume she's innocent and think about why she might have worded things the way she did. I hope for Madeline's sake that it's true and that she wasn't trying to cover up any involvement of her own.

 

[KMouse]

Driving around with Madeline's body visible.
The coldness and the gall of him.
Ugh.
Omo.

My assumption is that he had Maddie in the trunk and when he opened it to get her belongings the police could see her.

This report is essentially a turning point.

I think this too…

 

[Pruddennce]

there is an updated

**GRAPHIC WARNING**As per the warrant, it does look like SS was living in a spare room at the family property.

View attachment 488184

well, there it is. the updated warrant specifically states the pics depicted were madeline and match up what was found in Madeline's bedroom.

That’s feasible, definitely. Of course the other theory has spread through articles like this one:
CCTV of missing Madeline Soto in car was her 'propped up' dead body driven by suspect

CCTV of missing little girl in car was her 'propped up' corpse driven by suspect

The body of missing 13-year-old Madeline Soto was found in a wooded area four days after the teenager was reported missing - Stephan Sterns, her mum's boyfriend is deemed the 'prime suspect'

Omg…

There's absolutely no way JS saw Maddie getting dressed at 8:00 and Maddie was seen on video deceased at 8:19.
