I have no experience myself, but I think, if JS drugged herself with anything on the days of murder (incl. day before and day after), it was her full intention to do so just then - and certainly there was an important reason. IMO

it may not be that deep honestly. she seems drugged out in the police interviews too. i think she's just addicted and numbed out.

ETA quote from wesh article:
"
A cyber tip led investigators to Regan, and on his devices, they found sexually explicit images of children, including "females engaged in sexual activity with an adult male inside of a vehicle."

The DOJ said Regan admitted to agents that he had sent and received child sexual abuse material using an online social media platform".

Whether or not this could potentially be related to MS case, how horrible for her classmates/school to be going through another terrible event. There must be so much fear and doubt for them right now, IMO

This does raise the question of how far-reaching this case might be, doesn't it? Some WSers have already speculated that SS was selling and trading . . . plus the suicide when father and son were discovered. . . what a swamp. Can't help wondering how much is coincidence and how much ties together. Certainly, as you pointed out - fear and doubt for MS's schoolmates. But doesn't it make you, where ever you live, wonder if it's happening around you, too?

More than anything it shocks me how many people are into this. Not only are they attracted to children which I will never understand, but the lengths they will go to , to sell it, trade it, acquire it, knowing the risks. Imagine what they do or say to children to keep them from telling or human trafficking where they don't even come back to be able to tell.

For sure. And how they find like minded friends/colleagues.

Can someone enlighten me about the father and son suicide?? I’ve obviously missed this

Different case, unrelated.

Ah I see!

The authorities said originally the cases were unrelated. May still know that as far as I know. Certainly, there appears to be an extreme amount of this kind of activity in a small area. My own mind has wondered if SS had some knowledge of the Cox men since he is mainly from North Port and he hid MS in St. Cloud. The father-son CSAM team lived in St. Cloud, not too far (as I recall) from where MS's body was found. This seems a remarkable co-incidence to me. (sorry can't get this to unbold)​

"The body of Madeline Soto was found the afternoon of March 1 in St. Cloud after a week-long search. The 13-year-old's body was found off Old Hickory Tree Road in Osceola County."​

I don't wonder if it's happening around me. I know it very likely is because it's happening EVERYWHERE IMO.

Small, or large area, it's happening everywhere IMO. And with this day and age of the internet, and the ability to connect with people all over the world... there's no need to be trading CSAM with your "neighbors". It's also an added risk to do so, IMO, which I'd think they wouldn't want to add that risk. It's better to trade with total strangers than someone that could turn on you and turn you in should they get caught.

All JMO!

Stephan Sterns accused of secretly taking nude photos of roommate, as revealed in newly released audio

October 23, 2024 10:28pm EDT

While it's old news that SS took nude photos of one of the roommates... the fact he was apparently using tools that morning is news to me! I sure don't recall this, although I could have missed it.

He had 3 tools out, one a hammer, the other 2 the roommate didn't recognize and...

"Monday morning, inside the house, she heard something that sounded like a power tool," When JS asked SS about the tools, he replied that he was "finishing up a project," though he did not specify what the project was.

What in the WORLD was he doing that morning with power tools and a hammer, EARLY, because I'm guessing this roommate was the one that left by 7:45am for work?!?!?! Seriously! Maddie was dead in the car by now, and he's doing some project with tools! I can't even imagine what it could have been.

Sounds like he was also up to something the night before...imo. What were the sounds coming from his room the night before?

I recall a roommate hearing sounds coming from the room that night, but can't find anything in my notes about it, darn it. Something about it sounding like something something on a table. Could it have been tools? WTH???

I know some of you likely remember and have notes/source to share!

Yes, that's the MSM I quoted and linked to. What I remember, but can't find notes for, is an interview with a roommate that heard some kinds of noises like something on wood coming from room #4 the night before.
