Could she have simply left the state? It has been awhile since I have visited this thread--it disgusts me well beyond most topics here--but I seem to remember both JS & SS going and visiting people elsewhere in the not terribly distant past. Colorado, if I am remembering correctly? Something like that? If she's not formally accused of anything and no one has papped pictures of her at Walmart or McDonalds or places like that, I'd lean towards her being somewhere far from Orlando.

MOO.

That’s a thought, although long term, IMHOO she would need to get all the mooching off the state (oh excuse me, I meant) social services support in place again — disability payments, medical MJ, Ritalin and sleep med prescriptions, publicly funded psychiatrists and weight loss doctors, pregnancy tests , etc. Having to get that set up again in a new place might discourage her from leaving Florida. She’d also loose a favorable rent rate from her father and might have to find a job. MOO.

All I know is I'm losing patience with NO news about JS's whereabouts, cuz you know MSM would be on that like white on rice.

Peek a boo... where oh where are you JS?

This is all too true....

She probably is just hiding somewhere and having everything she needs delivered.

IMO, moochers and liars almost always seem to find a way to make things like your list work in their favor. "Oh no...this is still my PERMANENT residence...." etc....babble on about her "trauma"

Since this arrest for racketeering charges came about... it makes me believe more now that posting Maddie's pics was intentional, and not an accident. JMO on that!!!!

From the article you posted:

Lopez’s arrest is related to conspiracy to commit racketeering charges.

I don't think it is. But I think it could have an effect on prosecution of Maddie's case. The defense will try to malign the credibility of his department during trial thanks to this JMO

I sure hope the Judge doesn't wait until the 30th to rule on this matter. That phone search is key, it led to all the other evidence.

"I consented only to them looking at the Google Maps and to see if I was logged into Google in the first place," Sterns said.

What's next:

The judge is expected to next issue a written ruling about what evidence collected from Sterns' phone can or cannot be used.

The decision is anticipated to come before June 30.
Stephan Sterns' sex crimes trial pushed back to July after indecision on evidence

They've got the 35k images on the flash drive Stephan's dad turned in, though none feature Madeline. That's has to result in some heavy jail time even if Madeline's case becomes weaker, right? God forbid...

'I didn't start it': Stephan Sterns talks about Madeline Soto

Confronted by his parents in a jail phone call, Stephan Sterns told them, 'There was no reason for anything to happen that happened.'

Yea…since when does someone being investigated get to parse what police can and can’t search when handing over their phone? grasping at straws IMO.
