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.

The detective asks her if she has gotten a lot of the school phone calls of her missing in class and for some reason her answer is redacted....

The Docket points out less than 60 seconds ago she asked all soft are your telling me you are looking for a body and here she is all matter of fact.

Again though, I am not going to judge this part, the emotion, then disappearance of such, because I truly have seen such and experienced such. So I'm not judging her on that... It's very typical imo in something this hard or tragedy. You NEED to keep it together. It's just high emotions but then also the NEED to answer questions, handle what's going on and so forth. However, I am and will judge her on a lot of other things here...

I'm actually going to let the teary, emotional, then just la di da fine and calm attitude go. Most are picking it apart in comments on this vid but for me, it isn't the most telling thing although I sure do get what they are seeing... And it MAY be because entirely faked.

 

[GrandmaBear]

On the other hand, someone has a good point in that she's immediately over the shock of a dumpster pic and hearing her shoe, laptop and backpack were in there and her first knowledge supposedly of such...

 

[GrandmaBear]

I'm not sure but think this interview is about an hour and I am past that but of course he rewinds and comments on occasion. I really need a break but just feel I must be near the end of that part of the several hours Docket show as far as the actual interview of Jenn. Won't get more time much after now so trying to finish it as I know more will be coming out the way it sounds too. Now some neighbor is blasting music here.

Anyhow so far I've given not all, but a lot of byplay on this interview... Worth listening to.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Now she's rushed in her responses and one can tell frustrated by Maddie's "ADHD" and forgetfulness and school performance, etc. The child was being assaulted and DRUGGED for God's sake. I don't think this mother even ever WENT upstairs. She just sent her daughter with her bf there. She didn't know what pillows were in the room, etc. Got that from another interview... I think she was happy for her daughter to satisfy his needs so she didn't have to, for him to take care of daughter so she didn't have to, and only worried one day they'd be together like the Woody Allen and stepdaughter thing and leave her behind.

I'm sorry and my head is reeling but when you put all these things together...

And the whole Disney add on is like some bad joke such could even be in this case...

 

[GrandmaBear]

Okay I can't verify but pretty sure fact by pics, the other croc was in Jen's room downstairs.... Someone just commented on such...

So one of Maddie's crocs in the dumpster and the other in mom's room and mom who lied about times and seeing her getting dressed...

I can't not have some serious doubts with all of this re mom. And again, so much more... At TIMES she seems very upfront, open and honest but at other times not at all. When safe, I think she is. When covering for him or self or about her daughter(!) it is a different tt story...

 

[GrandmaBear]

I still have moments where I think she may be a total man interested, selfish, naive mother but again there's too much... The part about her saying she saw Maddie getting dressed has come out now and I think other things like her saying the SA was not evil is going to come out in another one as well...

This mother is not enamored of her daughter and it is showing AND she is a thorn for her imo and adds stress and the child probably never had ADHD, she was being MOLESTED, and DRUGGED.

If she has any naivete or truth, hindsight should be showing her a LOT right now.... And she needs to SHOW that.

I'm not buying it though. NO ONE SENDS THEIR 13 YO daughter to bed with mom's bf! And then the Woody Allen talk...

Again, there is just SO MUCH....

 

[GrandmaBear]

Why is the other Croc in Jen's room... I mean she never saw Maddie she admitted later after lying and all her times are wrong about the dog and Stephan...

I really want to know the autopsy and rigor mortis, estimated time of death results here... Stomach contents, etc... There were some pointed questions in the subpoenaed interview about Maddie being given Jen's THC, etc....

 

[GrandmaBear]

Almost all in this chat are in consensus. Now I have seen cases go crazy with bad channels, trolls and out there stuff but this one isn't that... It's ALL legitimate questions, inconsistencies, lies and you name it...

 

[GrandmaBear]

Took a break. Back to it. I mean wow.

The Docket's show too is constantly throwing the comments onto the screen and people have VERY good points. That in itself is interesting.

She is almost heart involved and happy when talking about Stephan but not about Maddie. It makes me sick.

Total change in interest and tone and pace.

Just hitting the night he went to Northport and took her car. ANOTHER lie when she told his dad he'd been gone what about 20 minutes? She knew no such thing or DID SHE KNOW... She tells it as she called his dad and said is he with you and dad said no, he isn't with you and she was saying he took her car keys like she offered that info. Dad (his) did not tell it that way, he said HE asked her are your car keys there...

She also said earlier in this interview he shops when stressed and she figured he just went to he Target next door... Uhm, why did he need her car then although maybe next door is across a highway, who the F knows with her lies... How many times has she lied about times and knowing something? MANY, MANY. Always in his favor as well..

I have ZERO sympathy for her any longer, not that I had much to begin with. THIS is the time and past time you get REAL and FACE your FAILS. And when you have a missing child, you do NOT LIE if innocent, you WANT them found.

There's also a part where she said her attitude on puberty and behavior changed and you can tell she was exasperated with her acting out, sass as she puts it and attitude and more. Now that's not that unusual but when you put all together here well...

As always I'm on the victim's side and mom is fast losing me entirely here. I was already there but if she hasn't learned by the time of this interview then no hope for her and as far as involvement, that Croc, lies about his trips and times and you name it the day of too, has tipped me way over on her.

It is speculated there are more interviews that will come. Like the one where she allegedly said the sexual stuff was not evil..

It is TRUE she said she saw Maddie getting dressed, that is not a LE like. I've heard it. Her explanation later was "she really wanted to believe that". LIE. LIE. LIE. LIE.

I'm still not through it. I'd like to get it done before back to work but the entire thing just enrages me. And if you watch the Docket playing this and the comments, I am not alone.

I also am starting to think even worse things about her or wonder...

 

[GrandmaBear]

Hmmmm. So Stephan went to Northport after they called dad to come into town and help and all staying at hotel, etc... WHEN did Stephan lose his phone to cops because she is asked why she did not call Stephan when missing when she woke up and she thinks he did not have a phone. Maybe this is true. She did say his dad later gave him a phone to use and I recall dad saying that as well. BUT it is said he went to North Port to wipe his google, etc. or some such and use his parent's wifi... So WHAT device was he doing that with???? Mom had dogs barking and got worried and the thought is he was outside, never entered home, etc. per the parents, and so forth...

LE has something here, because it's not entirely adding up. What is it...

Were Jenn and the parents or at least mom working together and helping him at this point... Jenn called Chris when he was not there... Jenn told Chris to get him a lawyer after known he'd been SAing her daughter... Chris ran to Orlando to help them while Stephan took Jenn's car and went to parents... I'm not sure of anything but there's something missing here... WHAT is he connecting with for one...

I'm a bit burned out on sporadically trying to listen to all while other things going on but not so much that I am not lighting on this part not adding up... AND she lied about it.

 

[GrandmaBear]

NOW she gets upset at Stephan as to where was he when he got back and how detectives were coming and he wasn't there. She gets very upset talking of it. She is ALMOST believable...Far more upset than I've heard over here missing or dead child. The fact he wasn't there... This woman needs some serious help and intervention and I am not convinced she did not know or was not part... She makes NO sense in her actions, lies, or reactions...

 

[GrandmaBear]

Okay now she is very upset and believable that what he told her was total bullsh*t because these guys or one of them (a detective) told her he'd been to North Port and then in her calculations he had to have left four to six hours ago, etc. She seems legitimately P O'ed and upset here BUT again why'd she LIE about him only being gone about 20 minutes for God's sake??!!! Help him cover, cover, cover, help him...

 

[GrandmaBear]

I hope I get through this before this day is gone and lost. I had no plan on losing a good part of my day to it.

 

[GrandmaBear]

He was awake. Slip. No sorry, he was asleep...

 

[GrandmaBear]

Okay. I really wanted to get through this and I just can't do it any longer. They are onto her period and how Maddie would tell her when she got it and she tracked it but apparently in February, uh, nope, and excuse the language but Maddie would also tell her each time she "pooped" because of the issues with doing so...

Nothing odd though that that month she isn't telling her, etc. and Jenn never realized until this detective asked or some such. It's not the first interview it came up in either. i've just had my fill of her and it today and I'm done.

I am SO leaning that even if she was not pregnant they were worried she might be... And their gig and freedom might be up...

Definitely breaking now, I have pushed it too far.

This woman is a conundrum or IS SHE. She is digusting. She can go from emotion and teary to just fine and okay to mad at him to you name it in the blink of an eye. I said in a post above that I wasn't judging that but I am now as I'm not buying it any longer.. I've heard too much, for too long.

And THIS is the first interview I've ever heard ANY EMOTION of ANY KIND and then it runs the gamut as if knowing what emotion is needed from anger at him to using the F word to tears to you name it. This period thing is NOT adding up.

Anyhow, no one is here, don't care, but just for the record on the case, I'm breaking from it. I feel I must be close to done with the interview and was only trying to finish but have had my over the top fill of her. I'm sooooo disgusted with her. He of course is a no brainer. A no argument. No one defends him.

I need a cooking show.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Okay. I am going to finish this out, not sure if tonight or when. I took a break but right away hard again...

He is drilling down on her and calling her on how emotional when she realized SS was "cheating" on her, but how not emotional when she talks of Maddie missing or deceased, she doesn't have the same emotion... He's "nice" about it but it putting it out there... Some is redacted but there's enough not redacted to follow it... Including when he said she was not asleep in those pictures... She claims she doesn't want to believe it, is in shock, etc... Maybe. She's a hard one to comprehend but some things are CLEARLY LIES.

He just called her again on when she has tears... And not over her daughter. He says we are literally having a conversation right now about her daughter possibly being dead, he said this is what I mean, not a tear. Yet when he told her about _________ (redacted) pretty sure it was about him doing her daughter, she cried almost violently over his cheating on her is the way it comes across.

I don't know.

GOD this is heavy. She is impossible at this point for me to sympathize with. Where most out there have been for a LONG time. NOTHING FITS. She cares about him, that's clear. Her daughter? Not really clear at all and doubtful...

 

[GrandmaBear]

This woman is IMPOSSIBLE to understand. I do not know if I am EVER going to make it through this but if I do and more come out, I am going to need a month at least before listening to another one.

And she just went again from what seems fake breakdown to find. And I have tried not to judge that but this has gotten deep and to the point I can't do it any longer.

I don't know WHAT to think of her but she IS far more worried about him than if her daughter is dead, and MORE.

Have you ever heard anyone break down totally? I have heard it and I've done it... Cracking wide open... It is not the case here.

And rather than wanting to keep self together if no guilt, you'd let go and lose it... Initially I can see not doing then when you may hope she will be found but not at this point and with the things she is being told..

I don't know if I am going to be able to stomach or finish this. I keep thinking I must be near the end but not so far...

THIS is worse than the subpoenaed interview. By FAR.

 

[GrandmaBear]

She says they watch her take her meds, etc. and supervise it and so on and son on. Yet her friend said Maddie had quit taking her meds on Valentine's Day, PLUS she noticed the differences in he rwhen she did ove that time period...

Damn it this has to end soon. I have to share it to even process it and also Maddie deserves it all said in her thread. She covers his butt constantly and she is LYING. There are moments I wonder but that just tells me she is because she's entirely different when something is the truth and then that comes easily...

 

[GrandmaBear]

They are definitely on the missed period of Maddie and very on if he or she ever gave her any of their meds... VERY ON these things. They know SOMETHING that we don't...

 

[GrandmaBear]

Have you ever given her any of your medications they ask?

She says after a pause, she has her own anxiety medication. Was THAT the question? NO.

Jenn has many meds. That wasn't the question.

They found something with this autopsy. I'd bet on it... This is not the only interview meds and her period have come up...
