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.

I am well aware lol you don't hold the same questions but I am just kind of talking out loud to work through where I will land here re JS. For me, there are just too many things to give her a pass and come to a solid conclusion one way or the other and it leans these days not in her favor but my meter still moves up and down depending on... Mostly not in her favor though most often.

I can't even find much good to say about her as a mother overall. Seems like she passed her daughter off a lot. She definitely is all about self, other than when she is about SS.
And I don't know where any of that comes from...
I know tha Jennifer had just started her job the week prior and that her mother helped with Madeline and Madeline spent a lot of time over at her house, which, btw, is the reason Jennifer was happy that Sterns was there to help, that is, so that she could spend more time with Madeline.
 
However, yeah, there are a couple of possibilities there, that he came back to let the dog out and more, it almost coincides with the time he was seen on camera at the complex.
What ever the reason was, he believed he was covering his donkey, right?
Seriously, why else do you think he went back?
 
She has though, to her detriment, at minimum a very bad habit of giving times when she doesn't know the actual times.
Well I only know of two instances in which you take issue re times, that in her written statement and that which- according to Sterns' father, she said Sterns had been gone for 25 minutes.
Btw, I've since heard the father say in a subsequent interview that Jennifer called him at 9:30 am, not 10:45 as he initially stated to the detective.
 
Even when she said in the one interview when I think she knew it was caught out, I didn't take her to school, my partner did... Even that, now he was her partner again and they weren't broken up as she also said many a time....
If you read her written statement - written within a couple of hrs of initial contact w/police- you'd know that her third sentence was "Stephan Sterns took her to school and dropped her off close to the school..." and goes on name the crossroads of precisely where...
Of course, she wasn't with him so that wasn't direct knowledge.
Edit: I'm recalling it now that she did in fact tell the responding officer that Sterns took Madeline to school. (That was in that bodycam video in her mother's office.)

As for boyfriend/partner, I can understand that's how she'd characterize his relation to her, so to me, there's nothing to it.
And regarding the "we" thing, it doesn't matter to me because she always stated or clarified that it was Sterns who'd taken her to school.

I've only read the one batch of Kissimmee PD reports consisting of 80 pages. There'a another batch from Kissimmee that's 52 pages that I haven't read.
In the Orange Co Sheriff Office batch- 896 pages- I've only read the written statements of Sterns and Jennifer, which are pages 4 and 5.
Anyway, I haven't come across anything re bed sizes, except Jennifer saying her's was a king, which, yeah, looks like a king to me. Lol!

Jennifer's comprehension was that Sterns "loved and cared for Madeline like (she) did". (Her exact words.)
And she didn't hide the fact that she'd sent them to sleep upstairs, to the contrary, she told detectives that's how it went and did so in a very casual, matter of fact kind of way.
So I don't know what that tells you but it tells me that- bottomline-she trusted him.
I haven't read ANY of them; myself so you are ahead of me. What I have seen comes from shows that pulled excerpts. The Orange County bit of finding MOST things that were in contact with her when she was being SA'ed comes from a show with Vinnie Politan. He had it up on the screen. He's not my fave but when I am interested in a case I will watch most I encounter if they have the docs or aren't someone I refuse absolutely to watch. He had on both Grizzly and Gray and not a fan of either so that almost had me turning it but I stuck it out. I wrote down even the minute mark in case you or anyone wanted to know but I'd have to find the show again.

As I've said I guess overall the bed sizes really are not relevant.

That's a TON of pages of police reports, wow. If I thought I was going to read all at some point, at 896 with just one, it is very doubtful I ever will.

I know she said that but she also said she always slept with her, she nixed sleepovers, and this happened less than five times or what she can count on one hand. Well this happened so many darned times over years, something does not add up there and he has tons upon tons of images. Did she consider them being in a room alone at other times not a sleep over? Being alone with a man at any time of day is the same thing really. Or was this going on right in the room the three slept in of JS while she was zonked out where on one could wake her? I have trouble with that. We know the camera equipment was set up upstairs, however, that was at this point in this year. Was he SAing her all over the home at any time, that they found these things mostly downstairs? It did say upstairs too but majority downstairs in the bedroom of JS and the makeshift bedroom.

I don't think I had seen such before and I guess it goes to show since we haven't read all the police reports there are things we don't know still even in what is released.

JS also made the remark of she couldn't see how he could have gotten her out of house, etc. as roommates are all hours and never know when, etc. or something on that order...

It's amazing to me neither mom nor roommates ever picked up on any of this although the one DID ask JS if she was okay with them being in his bedroom with door closed and to me that says she as wondering something... She says it is just her nature and way and she'd take no such chance. It was the one with the son. It's a clear example of the decisions of JS are not what other parents would ever allow or decide. Imo.

I'm going to add in your next post as I've seen it.

If you recall, I mentioned the croc and supposedly it was in the bedroom of JS. Of course that bothers me like many other things. I can't say I'm up on or fresh on the pics. Mostly I saw shows that showed them OR often listened to the shows, not always able to be watching the screen. I've absorbed a ton as have you I'm sure. I'm just going with what was said and the way I recall it was there was a pair belonging yes I believe to JS but the mate to the pair of MS as well and all were I believe in the bedroom of JS.

You know it is interesting that JS woke up just fine when SS entered the bedroom and jumped to it in fact all worried about the dog... Other accounts would say she could not be woken up when zonked on her meds.

I dont' know or recall a thing I don't think about the black shorts. Something nags at the edge of my memory, did you mention where they were found or something? I can't recall. It seems to me too that Stephan's boxers or some such were found in the bedroom of MS... I should go back and find some shows about the pics. Or do you actually have access to all the actual pics without a show? And of course some are correlating what is in the pics with what they have read in reports...

I know you think she flat out blindly trusted him but I'm sorry that I'm not so sure. At best she was extremly neglectful and put herself and needs first and is responsible for some very poor decisions. I've seen mothers charged for less where something did not go on for years either. I'd only be repeating myself which I guess I am when I say her and habit of naming times to LE if she does not really know, saying we when she says now it wasn't we, etc., calling him her ex basically in some situations then referring to him as her current partner and more did not help her out ONE BIT.

You know I even wonder what was going on that JS missed her own meds the day before and of all nights she need to get some good sleep and send them out of the room it was THIS night, the very NIGHT MS dies. Did JS often miss her own meds? Seems a bit unlikely to me too being she apparently slept through everything for years on end... Or if this was sometimes going on in day time (I mean who knows), WHERE was she??? Seems pretty proven NEITHER of them ever held a job for long.

For him to have all the images he had, over many years, JS did not only send her to bed with him a small number of times OR she was there rather than having sent them off alone...

Finally I know if I recall you will watch Dr. G. I have not had him pop up for me in awhile so don't know if he has done anything on this but the Behavior Panel has and if I recall I know you won't watch them. I don't take any show of any kind as fact but I will use what they show from docs or what they point out and look at it and they pointed out a LOT with her behavior. And there were a few times too they felt as if she was truthful but many a time they pointed out otherwise. Again, I don't from my opinions from others but getting things pointed out that are there or are fact, like the croc, I will add to my thoughts. I really need the time to go back, and to even read what you have as well, but not likely to happen anytime soon.

Finally, I don't believe LE has cleared her whatsoever nor do I believe they necessarily believe her and imo it is for good reason. And he's the big fish right now. Even waiting to see what he will do or if he will turn on her isn't stupid, they have plenty of time. Jmo. Both SS and JS are extremely self centered imo, and I will give her this one although it is not necessarily to her credit--JS actually worries about SS, the man who did all this to her very flesh and blood daughter, but I've seen no signs of his concerns about not involving JS or about her or any vice versa. It's an interesting dynamic because she talks as if she was the decision maker in she was done with him, she charged him rent, she needed to help him get back to Kissimmee, etc... and yet who was really running the show and abusing her daughter and playing her... Yet even then she worries about him and is almost more of a "mother" to SS than to her own child... I think she'd take or use anyone who would take on and help with Maddie so she could just do her thing... And I don't believe MS had ADD, there are so many misdiagnosed cases of that unless abuse actually CAUSES it, it is the abuse causing these issues... And a household with two "adults" who are abusing their drugs and you name it.

Didn't plan on going here or anything, just kind of talking out things that come to mind as I type it... And working out some thoughts... To see where I'm at...

Imo they can charge JS with neglect at minimum at any time or failure to do her duty or whatever the appropriate charges are.

And they aren't going to mess with such stuff at this point in time and I fully understand why they wouldn't.

And such does not have to meet a really high bar.

She should have started out not lying for one or misleading or parroting his story.

You know I started out with benefit of the doubt and there are things I can see or give that for for reasons I've seen in life but at this point, she is a pretty unsympathetic character to me as she has been for most from the start, but I waited and I'm still not there but I am getting there. She is self first and self preservation first and I've seen little sympathy or feeling over her child. First off it was preservation of SS and then and now it is preservaton of herself. I don't know that she has even abandoned concern for him other than she's had to act that way at this point because of all coming against her.

The fact she could find out all about the SA and at the same time still think he was innocent of her murder is just beyond comprehension to me.

Actually though it isn't, it shows her imo for what she is...

I know you are not going to agree with all my morning thoughts when I've had a bit of time to let them come and see where I'm at, but we are used to that lol on both our parts.

Delphi is fast acoming. Is that a word? Probably needs an apostrophe lol. I'm not entirely trust it will go off until it does.

One more shift and then two days off which never seem like two and an early start the day after going back. Usually I have until 1 when I head back but this week for some reason I get an 8:30. I have all day shifts next week and that NEVER has happened. Didn't get out of there last night until 9:40 (we close at 9) nor did several others because there were three people that even when told we were closed headed off thinking they could shop more because they had not finished... I don't even know what time the mgr. finally got out of there. That may not sound late but it is. Generally and it never fails, it is usually 9:15 if just the usual last minute ones. Maybe 9:20. I was so irritated. This one man they were finally headed for the checkout (two of them) and one diverted and went back into the store and he had been TOLD we are already closed. 20 minutes later maybe... Then he is searching is pockets for his wallet, had to call his wife about using some card of hers or some such or get approval anyhow by her.... On and on and on, then wanted things removed from his total and that meant people having to go put these things back on shelves before leaving... Our front end mgr was still there when I left. God knows what time she was able to get out of there.

Talk about irritatng and rude. He tells his wife on the phone they are closing now and I said NO, we ARE closed. (And have been for at least 30 minutes and it was announced, always is a couple of times ahead of time) Do you get it??? And you have kept HOW many people here because you give a sh*t....

Anyhow, short window feels like between that and back this morning... Not nearly enough down time or sleep.

They keep more than they can imagine on staff. The department they dive back into can't leave or any if they still are in store, etc...

Anyhow one of the latest I've had and I've had a few... One time was maybe comparable or worse...Who can be let go eventually are but I'm always on til last.

O/T I know but not like anyone else is in here. LOL.

I'm sleeping in tomorrow. Always say that but never manage to lol.

You have a wonderful day!
 
I haven't read ANY of them; myself so you are ahead of me. What I have seen comes from shows that pulled excerpts. The Orange County bit of finding MOST things that were in contact with her when she was being SA'ed comes from a show with Vinnie Politan. He had it up on the screen.

He had on both Grizzly and Gray and not a fan of either so that almost had me turning it but I stuck it out. I wrote down even the minute mark in case you or anyone wanted to know but I'd have to find the show again.
It's been a long time now that I don't watch Vinnie Politan and even if Gray was a guest, I still don't care to watch and if you watched Gray, you'd know that he's not fond of Grizzly, lol!
Anyway, it appears to me that all of the reports that have been released- I can't imagine that there could be more (lol) have been uploaded onto Scribd which suits me fine being that I'm a read-it-for-myself type of person.
Finally I know if I recall you will watch Dr. G. I have not had him pop up for me in awhile so don't know if he has done anything on this but the Behavior Panel has and if I recall I know you won't watch them.
Indeed, when I'm interested in body language, I'll watch Dr. G. I know he has one video re this case- early on- and I don't know if he's done another since then.
JS also made the remark of she couldn't see how he could have gotten her out of house, etc. as roommates are all hours and never know when, etc. or something on that order...
I noticed that detectives often asked her questions about what Sterns did or what would he do, a lot of which that they didn't ask Sterns and I found that interesting. Anyway...
So? (lol) The fact of the matter is that everyone was home when he did it.
The roommate and her son had left the apt. shortly after he did but she hadn't seen him.

My understanding is that there were hundreds on his phone but that doesn't tell me how many times...I know it occurred over a long period of time....
Anyway, I think Jennifer was either elsewhere or asleep.
The fact she could find out all about the SA and at the same time still think he was innocent of her murder is just beyond comprehension to me.
She didn't relate one to the other. I remember her asking detectives something like can't it be two separate things that have happened.

Honestly that is one statement that felt like a lie to me and I sensed a lie in her delivery and more. Stearns is the one who spent more time with her not JS. Both that night, all night and the next day although she was dead them--but JS was not planning to at least then, she was planning for HIM to do so and that's what I think the true plan honestly was. Sorry it is one of those statements I just did not buy that she made.

You know, it's also odd how she refers all of the time to how bad Maddie was to sleep with being all over the bed and more and yet she stresses how she always slept with her when SS was gone...Doesn't really add up either and the minute he's back she send her to his bed and she did not get in hers.

This girl was 13, I find all of it very poor parenting decisions including them all sleeping in the same bed, sleeping with her mother, and more. She should be teaching her independence and should have been from years before to the present. I know of no one who has every slept with their 13 year old between her and her boyfriend, nor anyone who would want their 13 year old between her and her own bf unless there are other reasons for it...

Clearly she was not an overengaged parent as she missed it all per her claims, and her decisions also were poor ones all the way around so far as I can see. Neither of these two also either modeled good behavior for her, could not hold down jobs, seems to be a real emphasis on their pot and drugs, can't self support, and more. Totally self centered is so clear to me.

I know you don't agree but will say just like you with me probably, I don't see where you get your opinions from either or how some of this is ignored. Lol. We are used to that though I guess, not following why the other feels as they do or sees what they see even though we give our reasons plenty.

However, at least we enjoy the discussion of it, and can have an adult one!
 
What ever the reason was, he believed he was covering his donkey, right?
Seriously, why else do you think he went back?
I don't really think anything else, just leave it open for something he was worried about, even more than one thing, or that he forgot to do. Whether the dog, staging something, taking something to dispose of or a combo, OR he did forget the clicker as well. He supposedly did have to use his parking pass or whatever to get in. The dog seems as likely or part of it as anything, so I really don't have an opinion or argument there. He could have done the same thing before leaving though because you say she just assumed what time it was based on that. Perhaps he didn't have time or forgot. I'm still trying to picture him getting her out of the house... Without help. From upstairs???
 
Well I only know of two instances in which you take issue re times, that in her written statement and that which- according to Sterns' father, she said Sterns had been gone for 25 minutes.
Btw, I've since heard the father say in a subsequent interview that Jennifer called him at 9:30 am, not 10:45 as he initially stated to the detective.
She has confirmed in interviews she was wrong and said such about times. Like I said, it was to her detriment is all, saying how long he'd been gone and giving investigators a time re the dog and so on if she didn't really know. Just as it was to her detriment to make her story matchy matchy with his and help him by saying 'we". Not saying it got her charged but it sure raised a lot of suspicion and I'm sure even with officers, not just the public.

I know this, if I was ever questioned in any investigation even though I never have been, a few minor things over the years. Got a call from an officer when a friend of my daughter's hadn't come home, inquiring if my daughter would have a clue as to where she was, or was she by chance staying with us, I'd just never consider not give the absolute most accurate information I know. I'd never "guess" at a time without saying I honestly don't know, or how long someone had been gone if I don't know. I don't care if it is minor and that ended up being minor.

My daughter was home and she had no clue where her friend was but I insisted she tell the officer on the phone any friends or places her friend went and she did, and they found her in short order. Sadly, it put a "dent" in their friendship but I knew her mother, had went to school with her myself and her mother was worried sick. I'd never have allowed my kid to do anything else and would insist she do such and she did. The friend was not happy she shared who she knew she'd been hanging around.

JS is/was protective of Sterns and self. Period. I see no integrity in her, no good parenting, nothing. I see no morals, no work ethic, little one can really say to her credit as to really doing something well or trying hard.

None of that is here nor there but I guess it is in a way... I'll think on that some other time as how it really is...

There's all sorts of things in her interviews that don't align or were lies. Like seeing Maddie which we've been through more than once and she admitted to lying about. And she's had several we hadn't seen until the dump...

I'm not even saying it means she knew anything or participated but it certainly can't be ignored, at least not by me.

And I am close to pretty sure if she didn't know about the continued SA, she knew something or there'd been some reason for the rule of no sleepovers which she broke.

As that officer said, he'd need no such rule because it simply wouldn't even be a question. And more.

Anyhow, haven't been up long and brain is not coffee fueled. I want to sit and just catch up for now and have some down time but also have a **** list of things to catch up with, all of which will not happen over these couple days off but need to get to some of it before too long, if I am smart anyhow, and pick and choose the biggest fires to put out. Life is a mess around me as all I've been able to do has been getting that big load off my plate the last month or so. I had raise papers for work I had not opened nor knew about that are not filled out, I have insurance to get canceled, laundry as always, and the usual things I HAVE to fit in on the weekly day off, phone calls which never are fun to businesses, time on hold probably, and a lot of paperwork kind of stuff. A bag of mail I have not opened I've had a few weeks. Thankfully MOST important things I don't get by mail but I usually go through it more often than that. All has just been on hold. Been in need of a dental appt for a long time and keep putting off. Just a few of 100 pressing things and examples.

Someone had not changed utilities over as of last week and this will be my third week of calling to see if they did! I have a credit coming back from my fuel supplier and need to ensure they have the right address.

Plans to cement with some family members for a day out (imagine that lol) in a few weeks if it is to happen. I won't even get into the state of this apartment. I keep my dishes done almost always, may be a day or two sometimes with a few, and garbage out, but most else has had to be let go for a time now. Where do I start? I don't know? Try to find the most urgent thing is how it always is. This though is one of those times, there's so much on the list that I can't even recall yet what is the most pressing as much of it is. As always, the stuff that is not date sensitive, etc. will be last. When I recall all the most important ones...

COFFEE! A bit more catching up and then when fueled, if I just start doing, it will all come. My cats (nothing new) scattered all over the floor last night my pile of papers with all to take care of. This happens a lot when they go chasing each other. If I pick them up first, of course all out of priority order now, and do such again with them, I will know where to start. Hopefully. Starting with bills will lead me to a few of the other things so that's what I'm thinking after a few sips of coffee now...

ANYWHO.... Yeah, the only real question in this case is JS although there still are a lot of unknowns as to SS getting her out of the house, if this was truly upstairs or downstairs, etc... I mean Angelica did hear things in Room 4 that night so that would seem to support upstairs... Lots of questions though re where things were and more...

So how has your week been? A good one I hope!

Might be around a bit off and on. And for a bit yet now before starting. It's 9:30 almost, so a late start but I did sleep in and needed it, always try to first day off, usually still only ends up being 5 hours tops but more than I get a lot of the week.

Delphi coming fast now.
 
If you read her written statement - written within a couple of hrs of initial contact w/police- you'd know that her third sentence was "Stephan Sterns took her to school and dropped her off close to the school..." and goes on name the crossroads of precisely where...
Of course, she wasn't with him so that wasn't direct knowledge.
Edit: I'm recalling it now that she did in fact tell the responding officer that Sterns took Madeline to school. (That was in that bodycam video in her mother's office.)

As for boyfriend/partner, I can understand that's how she'd characterize his relation to her, so to me, there's nothing to it.
And regarding the "we" thing, it doesn't matter to me because she always stated or clarified that it was Sterns who'd taken her to school.
It struck me different. It struck me as there was a planned story but as pressured and as reality hit, she couldn't stay to it. She'd do the "we" but then yes, at times explain when realizing she was telling his lie or their lie or whatever lie and couldn't maintain it from pretty early on... But then would slip back into the rehearsed... Maybe, maybe not, but that's how it all came across to me even in the early days...

There was pressure pretty quick here... It may have taken some time for them to get out there but once they were...

As far as "partner" yeah, not a big deal but when it helps to claim they are broken up, she says that, and when she feels it helps to say partner, she does that. Everything she says she makes ridiculously confusing. Were they on, were they off. They were off. But then he's there and she's thinking of helping him and bringing him back. But they were off. It was we, it was I, it was my partner. Times. All of it.

One thing I am convinced of is she is not unintelligent. Fairly well spoken other than when she does this kind of sh*t. She comprehends questions completely and can answer them and what is asked although she doesn't always do that...

Anyhow, we've been through most of this and we are where we are with it.

Basically I am really only saying at minimum she didn't do herself any favors with these ways and confusing remarks, times, you name it. From the get go.

And I think it reeks of a practiced story that fell apart fast. BUT that's just one possibility...

Liars often can't recall who they said what to and revert to something when pressed or they slip.

And we werent' seeing the pressure and questions in between the news things, etc. going on with looking at him, questioning her, etc. We have a lot now but we never saw it in real time order at the time.

As I've said, I'm not decided, I can't be. However, there are things that I can't just put aside until... That stay in play. And there's always the possibility we may never know. I know you feel you do know but I don't. Most have convicted her, you feel she's entirely innocent of anything even bad parenting, but I'm where I think most should be, not sold on anything re her other than thinking what I do of what she has said, some of her decisions, and more, but no idea for certain if she knew anything of either thing or was involved and I think, but jmo, that's the only place one can be right now. Just like an investigation is not over until it is over and more may come, I am remaining open on it.
 
It's been a long time now that I don't watch Vinnie Politan and even if Gray was a guest, I still don't care to watch and if you watched Gray, you'd know that he's not fond of Grizzly, lol!
Anyway, it appears to me that all of the reports that have been released- I can't imagine that there could be more (lol) have been uploaded onto Scribd which suits me fine being that I'm a read-it-for-myself type of person.

Indeed, when I'm interested in body language, I'll watch Dr. G. I know he has one video re this case- early on- and I don't know if he's done another since then.

I noticed that detectives often asked her questions about what Sterns did or what would he do, a lot of which that they didn't ask Sterns and I found that interesting. Anyway...
So? (lol) The fact of the matter is that everyone was home when he did it.
The roommate and her son had left the apt. shortly after he did but she hadn't seen him.
Gray's not fond of anyone who has a following lol. And I've watched Gray plenty through the years. Plenty. No stranger to him at all. For some years on end now. Decade probably at least. He's not my cup of tea. I'm not going to say I've NEVER seen a good show but one can't even predict when one will be. Watching three to six hours of someone who actually is covering the case and the docs and stuff all those hours is one thing but watching one that long that is just a bunch of stupid random stuff for hours on end before they ever get to the case as the title said, is another thing.

I recognize the work he has put in like in Delphi over the years and the mapping and more. I am not a total anti or anything, he's just not for me most of the time. He is also very territorial about the case. And others.

Anyhow, I don't disagree on Vinnie. I am NOT a fan. However, when I can't find anything on OR anyone is about a filing or ha something on a current case, I will at times watch and just take the parts that aren't talking heads etc. And he had the doc up on the screen of them finding things that actually were in contact with MS DURING SA mostly downstairs with some in Room 4.

I'm not anti anyone to the point I won't watch on occasion if it relates to a case i'm interested in. And some come and go for me as well. At least I'm not running into many of the really insane channels that used to pop up in cases any longer. I'm also not nuts about Law and Crime and News Nation but I WILL watch them. Most of the more produced stuff not a big fan of, and I've seen all and Vinnie as well do some things or get some things wrong that turn me off.

I have to check out the Scribd thing as I am interested in the documents, pics, etc. I simply with lack of time when it all hit am watching those who are covering it and have read it. I know nothing about Scribd. So all the stuff on the case that was dumped is there?

I like Dr. G but will also watch The Behavior Panel on occasion. They never give a direct opinion or conclusion wisely so and shouldn't but will lean at certain times throughout and so on, and point out when they they think maybe a rare time of truth is in a case interview, etc. I don't take anyone's word for anything but they do catch things and point them out that may mean nothing but may and may be something I did not notice until pointed out. That's what I find interesting so one can look at it and pay more attention oneself. Dr. G is good too, wondered if he had done any. BP has done a few now.

Again, I will watch any on occasion but I don't take their opinion or their talking head guests like Vinnie's to mean anything or influence. I don't even mean Grizzly and Gray, although them too, but the talking heads those shows get like a former FBI analyst, a defense attorney not involved in the case at all, etc. Talking heads. I form my own opinions, and even change them depending on what comes out.
 
Honestly that is one statement that felt like a lie to me and I sensed a lie in her delivery and more. Stearns is the one who spent more time with her not JS. Both that night, all night and the next day although she was dead them--but JS was not planning to at least then, she was planning for HIM to do so and that's what I think the true plan honestly was. Sorry it is one of those statements I just did not buy that she made.
(I wasn't finished rsponding to your last post, lol!)
It just makes sense to me that with him there, Madeline would also be there rather than at the grandmother's.
I don't really think anything else, just leave it open for something he was worried about, even more than one thing, or that he forgot to do. Whether the dog, staging something, taking something to dispose of or a combo, OR he did forget the clicker as well.
Well he never mentioned the incident with the dog and I think the reason is because he knew what time that happened and that it's the same time he was trying to say he dropped off Madeline!
 
It's been a long time now that I don't watch Vinnie Politan and even if Gray was a guest, I still don't care to watch and if you watched Gray, you'd know that he's not fond of Grizzly, lol!
Anyway, it appears to me that all of the reports that have been released- I can't imagine that there could be more (lol) have been uploaded onto Scribd which suits me fine being that I'm a read-it-for-myself type of person.

Indeed, when I'm interested in body language, I'll watch Dr. G. I know he has one video re this case- early on- and I don't know if he's done another since then.

I noticed that detectives often asked her questions about what Sterns did or what would he do, a lot of which that they didn't ask Sterns and I found that interesting. Anyway...
So? (lol) The fact of the matter is that everyone was home when he did it.
The roommate and her son had left the apt. shortly after he did but she hadn't seen him.
Do you mean about them asking her if it was his habit to take random drives, ever go to St. Cloud (was it St. Cloud, I think so), etc.? Are those the questions you mean they asked her and not him?

Yes, per Angelica she would have been up within minutes or downstairs of when SS left... That leads me to the thought that perhaps he took MS out during the night or some hours before? JS claims she may have heard him in the bathroom and Angelica claimed to hearing things in the room and said how much sound it would take for her to hear it over that distance or number of walls...

JS apparently sleeps like the dead but then doesn't. She heard a possible bathroom trip, then she heard people in the kitchen or someone, she awoke and bounced right up and awake when worried about the dog peeing...

I also wonder how often she misses her meds as she seems so concerned about ensuring she doesn't and so unfortunate she missed them the day before. Why... I mean they were her concern many a time, and excuse even, and she wanted them out of the house when she realized they were going to have to go to a motel so it is a major habit and concern to her. If she can't keep her own taken and straight I wonder how well she did with Maddie's and whether she really supervised such. Maddie had been off hers per her friend...

Again bad parenting and I think some lies and trying to look more responsible of a mother than she was.

yes, a house full of people and all this went on.
 
My understanding is that there were hundreds on his phone but that doesn't tell me how many times...I know it occurred over a long period of time....
Anyway, I think Jennifer was either elsewhere or asleep.

She didn't relate one to the other. I remember her asking detectives something like can't it be two separate things that have happened.
Yes she did ask that but at the point of finding out about the one, that's really again some wanting to protect him and believe him over wanting to FIND OUT who did this to her daughter and CLEARLY he was the last one with her and had been SA'ing her. It is again, just more SS concern than finding MS and who did this.

The Cloud takes it back years upon years with tons of images and videos. I don't recall the number because there are also tens of thousands of images that weren't all her I believe. I think some number has been mentioned re her but couldn't tell you right now and I think it is beyond hundreds but could be wrong.

yeah she was elsewhere all right while MS was always with Sterns. At minimum. Not a present mom.

Well I remember them asking him about St. Cloud but I'd have to put more thought into what was asked one v the other before I could give examples.

If Angelica was the single lady, it was the other roommate who was up and left minutes after but yeah, Angelica said she heard noise from that bedroom at 2-something...
but I've always thought he must have moved the body sometime during the night.

Yeah, there were 35,000 images on a USB drive but none of those victims appeared to be Madeline.
 
I can't keep up with this case. 35,000. %$&% $^%>/!!! I have my opinion on what I know. But all of the specifics. No.

I don't know what you mean, "but at that point"; it was only after that point that there were two events.

And I don't see how her having asked about the video is "wanting to protect" Sterns. Are you saying that you don't think she really believed it was Madeline in the video?

I may have them mixed up but I don't think so. I think Angelica is the one with the son and the one who heard the noise and had her morning routine with her son and without. Maybe I have the first names mixed up and if I do, in either case, it is the one with the son, I just may have the wrong name. Who heard stuff, has the son, has her morning routine. Who asked Jenn and texted her at one point if she was okay with Stephan and MS being alone in his room together. So what I mean is I have it all right but may have the wrong roommate name but I dont' think so. if I do, that's the only thing wrong there.

yeah i'm overloaded to. They did ask her about him taking long or random drives or something like that. And about St. Cloud. Where he'd go to hide a body, areas he knew, not sure on that but something on that order I think they were getting at earlier on. I suspect of course they had a lot of his movements and were seeing what she knew for one... She said like other than going to his normal gaming places to find things, etc. no, he never just took random drives or some such. How the heck would she know though, really?

I honestly don't know either or recall if they put the same questions to him but they did somewhat try to box him in on knowing he had been here, or there, or let him tell his lies and then he lawyered up... I mean he only admitted to turning around and going back to Mc Donald's or home to get the clicker when he started suspecting they knew. But some of this was long after as to his movements.

I admit and I think you are pretty much saying the same we did not get all this in any chronological order at the time it was all happening. So now fitting in released stuff as to how it correlates in time frame to what we did see with TV interviews and other things early on, and body cam, is difficult.

I haven't seen an info dumps like this I don't think since Daybell. And that was a TON and I took in every bit of it over time, every single thing. Also wasn't working then.
