Madeline Soto missing: Florida mom begs for daughter's safe return home​

A mother in Orange County is begging for help locating her missing daughter.

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.

"I’m trying to hope for the best, but I’m scared for her," said Jenn Soto. "I want her to be okay; I want her to be safe… I don’t want her to come back harmed. I just want her back – whatever that means, I just want her back."

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.

According to Jenn Soto, Maddie had never run away before. She said the teen had forgotten her cell phone at home that morning, but that was normal.

As of Wednesday morning, a variety of search teams are out searching for Maddie.

Grizzly now as The Docket said would be next with this along with Gray Hughes. Clearly The Docket had first dibs. YET I saw this on someone's channel like a week ago... Or some of it, it is what I've been talking of where Jenn Soto had to be subpoenaed and showed up with an attorney. And not to a hearing for him, but to an interview of her!

Grizzly is LIVE right now.

What the heck is derivative use immunity??!!!

The detective (I think it is) is explaining that right now, or perhaps the State attorney to her. Stressing that she tell the truth, mentions inconsistencies and former things and important this be the truth, etc., etc.
 
One think I do NOT like about Grizzly is she constantly interrupts interviews, etc. and can't just sit back. Yap, yap, yap. We will see how bad she is with this one. She already is doing such.
 
Boy, I've heard a lot of this but not all, I still wish I knew who had it like a week or so ago... Now it's like these all act as if it's new news...

She can't even recall what Maddie was wearing when she got home. At least that's what it says in this one and the questions are VERY direct from the outset to Jenn from them.

And of COURSE Grizz has to interrupt already and go on and on and on and on after like one answer. There are reasons I don't watch her much any more. She is STILL going on...
 
God, not going to be able to do it. She just can't stop herself. Sat for maybe a minute with head nods, mouthing and had to interrupt again. I will just go back to The Docket to see the beginning and parts I missed. His show ended up being like five, six hours but that was all after playing this interview. The parts I saw he was not interrupting like this. Grizzly butts in and says more than was just said in the interview, on and on and on and on. A few minutes and she is driving me nuts.

I have to work anyhow. No time for her b.s.
 
About giving up on it and having to bite my tongue not to go off in her live chat. She just can't shut up. As if her viewers don't know the case. Getting a headache from the woman in less than how many minutes.
 
Couldn't do it one minute longer. She just cannot shut up and then she's on rapid speed but talks forever but like she's on some upper or something.

I will go back and watch The Docket from the start, if not this morning, at some point. Right now just need some darned silence from that woman. Man this interview a bit over an hour is going to take her the next TEN hours with her yapping interrupting commentary. If not 24 hours.
 
So The Docket was the far better place to go back and watch it all and the first part I missed. And I did it all again. He interrupted rarely and Grizzly could not stop from the get go, every few seconds it seemed and then it wasn't a quick interruption but on and on. He does come in a few times to point something out but short, and mostly let's it run. Rewinds a minute or two occasionally for all to hear again and then on again uninterrupted. WAY better.

I'm now listening a third time WITH interruptions and discussion but it sure is not with Grizzly, to hear the things noted and comparisons, etc. and inconsistencies. And since I was able to watch it all largely uninterrupted I am ready for this now.

Some key things ARE the State Attorney mentions the false police report and then her attorney has to be sure to be clear on what they are saying about that and if it gives her this whatever immunity...

You see she said she saw Maddie that morning around 8 getting dressed that morning (I know some do not believe that but I suspect they have this on recording but we shall see) and she also said he came into the room around 8 to put the dog on the leash and that's the first time she awoke. He and Maddie were gone like at 7 or so, they were NOT there at 8. So both were lies.

There are a ton more inconsistencies and such but this particular part was big and they were as much as saying she filed a false report... With false facts anyhow...

Not going to go into the tons of other things, even though I think she feels she did better in this one lol, more excuses thought of and so on but she is doing the same old thing imo. Just more explanations and more careful.

The oddest thing in the entire thing is and I am paraphrasing but she texted I believe it was Stephan at some point and said Maddie could no longer sleep with her (Jen), she couldn't risk it. What in the HE77 is that supposed to mean??

There's more, she contradicts herself in about this hour long interview more than once. Without even comparing it to others but those are some key things.

It's irritating that her attorney ends the interview and they go with it. She was under SUBPOENA. I get the impression there was something like him having another appt. that may be was said ahead of time.

Anyhow, also interesting is how she was subpoenaed. So many think if they lawyer up such can't happen and they can make terms IF they agree to an interview, through their attorney. She had no choice here, nor did her attorney, she was under subpoena.

In fact it SEEMS she got the subpoena and then got the attorney and so she was already refusing to cooperate further imo.

Just some of my takes.
 
Oh and it is the SECOND time the fact Maddie did not get her period in February has come up. First time was from a friend, now Jennifer is asked, who tracked by app her daughter's periods... I'm not buying her answers here... She never noticed til after (I take it after she was murdered) even though it was due at the beginning of Feb and she would have been due for another by beginning of March which was almost upon them when she died...

I raised TWO girls and we were a three female household after I divorced. Let me tell you, you know. I did not "track" but I was always at wit's end that I could not keep up with the products or anyone telling me we were out before I needed them, another of them needed them, etc. It also when they were that age could be a moody household with three of us dealing with that time.

I'm not the type to talk of such things but no way did you not notice imo. And it WAS just her and Maddie at this point...

The detective even asks who takes the bathroom garbage out, etc. Yes, that's another thing, you most definitely notice.

I think she thinks she has things more down pat with more explanations but it's not so. She may be a bit more truthful and careful in a few areas but true to form in many others.

So even if she ended up not being pregnant, and I'm guessing she wasn't simply because no charges re that, both mom and he and Maddie may well have been in a total panic over the possibility...

I'm also not sure why she'd track it by app but then not know first of all. Second of all why track it unless you think your daughter is having sex? (Or being molested) Then you track it but don't notice? Which is it, an overinvolved mom where she seems to be a neglectful uninvolved one in many other aspects...

She doesn't add up or make sense. In any way.
 
Another thing I should add is there are tons of redactions in this and many long ones re other interviews and various things... All or most I'm sure confronting her with her lies...
 
Just hit it again so going to give exact details. She texts Stephan (Jen does) word for word, "Maddie is no longer sleeping with me. I can't risk it". June 16, 2023.

ANYONE explain to me what that means and what that could even POSSIBLY MEAN??

And don't say someone else texted it, they already covered no one else ever used her phone or had access other than herself, her phone. She let him use it when they took HIS after she was murdered and that's the ONLY time she says anyone else has ever had access to or used her phone.

This was almost a YEAR ago. Nine months anyhow from the date Maddie was murdered...

The ONLY thing I can figure is there is more being said here about the entire situation.

And yet she can't recall why she would have said this. Bullsh*t. That's a freaking WEIRD text. Yet she can recall what she had for supper the night before her daughter did not make it to school and many other things. It's very convenient her recall or lack of it. Always has been...

Anyone?
 
Oh heck, one more while I am fresh on it. At one point in the interview the State Attorney asks her how many times before that night she'd ever sent Maddie up to Room 4 to sleep with Stephan. Long, long pause and it seemed she was about to say she hadn't before and right then he stops her and reminds her that they have ALL THEIR TEXTS... And she fumbles and recovers and says oh, I know I was just trying to think of how many times... The HE77 she was, she was about to lie but then that little reminder had her changing it... Stopping self...
 
Also we have heard and accepted SS was only up there and got up there the night of the party. But she fumbles over questions of whether he was in town the week or so before that... There is a text where she asks him to watch Maddie so she could go to lunch with a friend... She fumbles over all of this... Did you go to lunch with the friend? Yes, thinks so? Did he watch her? No don't think so. Where was she? I think she ended up staying at home alone a few hours... Which fits NOTHING she has ever said about this girl being able to be on her own EVER.

And she can't commit to whether he was in town prior or not, can't recall, etc.

First I've ever heard of this possibility...

On it's surface, some may think there isn't much here in this interview but there is. And the more time one listens to it, you realize more. And then compare it to tons of other statements on top of it... Even without that, a lot of fails.
 
@Regina this is new. and I am only a handful of minutes in.

I think you know by now whether you like Gray, don't like Plunder and how you feel about the Docket I don't know but he is the one the other two give credit to, he stayed on Florida and getting these records and FOIA responses out, etc... I haven't watched Gray so don't know but Plunder CERTAINLY has. And it is the THREE together that are getting this stuff. I don't know if Gray has ever FOIAed but The Docket does and Plunder always has on her own dime.. And it is the DOCKET who gets it first and Gray and Plunder, they are the three doing this.

Not sure about Gray, but Plunder and The Docket let anyone take their stuff they paid for, and they don't charge or even ask for credit but recently both are going off a bit over someone taking it and claiming THEY and their investigators actually got the stuff. Total lies. They have checked. I have a feeling who the main culprit is. Bad enough to not be decent enough to give credit to the ones who got it but lie and claim YOU got it yourself, totally false.

Anyhow, these three are the ones getting the stuff whether you like one, all or not. THey are working together. And I am not a big fan of Gray so there we go.

HOWEVER, I tagged you for a reason. I'm just a few minutes in on this a handful I guess, 10 or more... He had some lead up, maybe 20. And another interview with Jenn where she is ASKED about her statement that she saw Maddie getting dressed that morning...

You thought or surmised a poor detective or some such got it wrong or put such in the report and she never said so but here she is not denying it and trying to explain it, she ADMITS it, and it doesn't fly.

I'm not trying to do a right or wrong thing here, but i've wondered as well and this answers that question. She DID claim that and she lied. Her explanation in this interview of that right off the bat is not believable. And I guess from the lead in, this one has SOME big things and The Docket even said at times, IF what she said was a true, he felt sorry for her.

Regardless, I haven't seen it all but right off the bat, she did claim she saw Maddie that morning. And here too she is trying to now say she ASSUMED it was around 8 when Stephan came in to take the dog out.

It's hardly started, the video has, but her interview has not and this is right out of the gate..

I will link and saying it is worth a watch. He says up front he will be stopping and talking about, and if people don't like that then don't watch. The entire length is probably not just this but chat after so I am sure not as long as it shows. I don't mind him stopping and pausting for a moment to discuss, Grizzly on the other hand drives me nuts. She has to go on and on and it become all her, and oh mys and this and that and yada yada yada.
I am hardly into it yet but already this one is going to be revealing. He does not go for sensationalizing and has already said, get prepared.

I am though saying SHE did claim she saw Maddie getting dressed that morning. She admits it. So that wasn't some cop getting that wrong or making it up.

 
Okay. I dropped off while watching this, just exhausted. I kept trying to focus because Jenn had referred to the Woody Allen situation and I wanted to hear it clearly but I kept dozing off before and finally gave up. So today I am going back to it.

And explain this to me if she knew nothing or had fears of nothing.

There is a ton redacted in the recording and then she comes out and says if she she told him anything, it was that her biggest fear would turn into a Woody Allen situation, where the stepdaughter would fall into, or the dad (meaning stepdad) grooms the child and the child then turns 18...

What??!!! It is unclear WHAT she is answering because up to that it is largely redacted. This was too much last night as I kept trying to go back overtired and hearing the lead up. I just now got back to where she says that and have not continued on.

This is NOT a mother that doesn't know if she is saying THIS, or had fears, or perhaps was even jealous. I will have to see as it goes on... This comes a bit out of the blue. Obviously they are talking of something beforehand they had to redact most of...
 
Then the child turns 18 and ends up running away with him she told him. It is told him, told him, told him....Who else would that be but Stephan?

Emphatically she says she told him that was her biggest fear, she does not want that happening and that YOU can't DO that to me... Detective now asking her why she'd say that to him....

My God.

I wonder if they blacked out a lot, bleeped it out, redacted and chose carefully what to leave in because THIS, THIS is not an innocent mother who never feared or suspected a thing. There's more to come, I'm not sure I'm ready for the focus.

So at this point without hearing more, so it's okay if they sleep together and she is groomed, is that what she's saying, and if she is used and abused and SA'ed but you can't ever have her falling for you with grooming and run away together when she's 18 because that's mom's biggest fear...

You know, one of my thoughts early on was that Maddie thought he and her were running away together, but at 13...I had reasons this was a theory of mine early on but do not need to sidetrack into that right now but it's interesting that now such a thing is being said by her own mother that it was a big fear of hers. WHY would you fear that if this was a normal situation and you knew NOTHING.
I don't think I've listened to five full minutes more this morning, well I backed up as was so tired last night to hear the lead up and more a few times (so a lot more minutes than that) and to be sure I got the context I could and then went a bit longer after, but I already need a break.

You do NOT become fearful something will end up a Woody Allen situation unless you know and see EXACTLY what was going on... Sorry.

It's like you are fine with it, "loaning" out your daughter so long as one day he does not leave you with her going along, or they become the couple and leave ma high and dry... SICK.

I haven't listened to it go on but I can't see much other ready to look at such a remark.

And I am going to break from it.

There are so many more minor things in this in the somewhat lengthy time I've already watched but I'm not giving a byplay of all. Not minor necessarily but not like this which HAS to be mentioned.

This woman and him are nonworking non productive leaches on society and both are capable, give me a break. She pretty much admits what his parents have already said, she couldn't hold a job a week and was fired from one, etc.

Jenn IS Bipolar out of her own mouth in this one so if that is confirmation it is now confirmed.
 
You can't do that to me, the stepdaughter running away with the stepdad. She's all about "ME". Obviously though knew something because she worried about this. Again a lot redacted prior... Giving it just a minute or two more in pieces because this is just too much. These losers and CHILDREN this real child lived with, self centered, leaches on society and services, nonworking, indulging in their thing...

Sorry but pretty maddened right now. THIS case, even retired LE who had huge careers in such say they have NEVER seen a case with this much evidence... And they've had a lifetime of big cases...
 
OMG, she makes NO sense. Right now I am thinking she let this happen, knew it was happening and it beat the alternative... In her head...

Just bringing up the Woody Allen thing says it all. When these redactions come out oh boy.

She says and I can't do many more minutes of this yet again, I prefer to do dishes and get away from it, seriously, she was raised with her mother drilling in never trust a man and she went with that. But then she reasoned he had been in their lives how many years, she had never seen anything weird or off, etc. They are BOTH OFF as HE77! Watched a lot of movies wanted to teach her "pop" culture of the 80s and 90s... WHAT? I'm an 80s "girl". Pop culture? It sure is not HER era. Not that all can't like such but this is the important thing to teach your child, along with sleeping with men, and video game little figurines he painted and bought, etc. All while being SA'ed.

Mark my words, it may be way down the line but this woman will end up charged.

That Woody Allen remark alone, the only way I can take that is she was fine with keeping her man happy with having her daughter for his needs so long as one day she wasn't left in the dust by the two of them...

Who ARE these people? Who IS this mother? There's a ton of more life stuff in here, only hitting on the big. I'll guarantee you fraud is also going on as far as income, benefits and you name it. Neither can hold a job yet both seem just FINE when it comes to dealing with something as bad as this and physically okay too. Mentally just coping fine in interviews...

I've only done a minute or two here and there since my first post awhile ago. And it's enough, each and every time.

Going back to dishes. Need soothing normal activity listening to this from this "mother".
 
At a point in this interview, the detective must throw down a picture in front of her and unasked and unprompted, she says that's Maddie asleep in the car... Detective says immediately "Maddie's not asleep in the car".... She then says after a bit of a pause not long, "what do you mean"... She then pauses again and as he starts to ask do you believe Maddie is dead right at the beginning they cross voices and she says she's dead? Right as he is saying, do you believe--do you believe Maddie's asleep there? A slight pause and Jennifer says "is she dead?" Detective says "I don't know"...

We don't know, we don't know where she's at.

This IS important and VERY ODD. EVERYTHING JENNIFER SAID HERE. Not ringing true. At all.

I wonder if one day there will be video with these audios. There seems to be no lead up or redactions as he apparently puts down a picture. He did not ask a question or ask for a response. They weren't talking of anything about this before this. And she instantly says that's Maddie asleep in the car. She wasn't asked, there was no reason.

And I'm sorry, LE knew better and I can't imagine a dead slumped child looking like it is asleep to ANYONE. That also begs the question how many hours after death IS this? Because at a point they get pretty hard to move don't they as rigor mortis sets in...?

As this interview plays the comments are going nuts and most want her lynched of course. I'm sure it's no different nor would it be if Gray Hughes was playing it...

And I cannot forget that text "Maddie's no longer sleeping with me, I can't risk it"...

This woman is going down I suspect at some point. I allow for meds. I allow for her being "different". I allow for a lot. But NO.

SOMETHING was going on here. And I'm just reacting to what I am listening to and nothing more. This is very damning in more than one spot and I'm not even done. I'm also not sharing all or giving all byplay. She finally does get emotional in this one, even "breaks down" and cries, or appears to (not appears as no video, but sounds like it) but then in between she is right back to matter of fact, then cries again, then snaps right out, etc. I can allow for that as well because I have seen such in life where I knew it to be real grief but one can come out of it, and then right back to cracking but not like it goes on here or for how long...

I hope all or most of these interviews also have video... But it's also not needed necessarily. Especially in this one...

This stuff just keeps coming out... The Docket has pressed hard for what FOIA allows in Florida and stayed on it... And man it is something else.

I can only take so much for so long but tonight am managing to listen to longer segments than I could this morning. I was I guess just overwhelmed from my week yet and it isn't like there are graphic details but it's just hard to listen to or buy and this case is just awful...

THIS is a critical interview imo. And she fails. Mom.

There are tons of other things like the gate clicker. Why did he even HAVE one, he wasn't living there. Would it be normal to bring it into the house is asked? She said she had one, he had one... She was not asked directly but then she also said she wasn't sure if this roommate and that roommate had one. You wouldn't KNOW if they had one?? Just giving an example of some of the more "minor" stuff but there's some big stuff in here...

These interviews just keep coming and more as well. I saw a pic I can't even recall if on here or another show that Maddie apparently drew on something. Much of it is blanked out but enough can be seen it appears to be someone kneeling in front of a man and a very educated guess can be made as to what the act is... Of course this doesn't damn Jennifer I guess necessarily but it sure shows the things going on with her daughter that would be hard put to miss...

Some in the chat are actually saying and thinking both mom and him, and together they were selling images, etc...

And you know what? I can see why they think that. Normally I'd think people were going out there and overboard but again... "Maddie is no longer sleeping with me. I can't risk it"... WTF does that MEAN?

Out of any case in awhile, and they all do, but this one has taken me by storm and beyond.

And I can't help but think of the entire Disney connotation on top of it all...
 
Softly, very, "that's an odd way for her to be laying down sleeping". Well no sh*t. But that was not her initial response at all when I am guessing they took out a photo unannounced and not askng for a response where she gave one anyhow of that's Maddie sleeping in the car. It does NOT fly. I don't mean with the detective even, I mean with me, with almost anyone... If now seconds later it is an odd way for her to be lying down sleeping why was her initial reaction, that's Maddie asleep in the car...

She fails big time here imo and that of almost everyone who was watching thisss.
