  • New details have emerged in the case of Stephan Sterns, accused of murdering 13-year-old Madeline "Maddie" Soto. A recent interview with a female roommate, who shared the house with Maddie and her mother Jenn Soto, sheds light on Sterns' odd behavior in the days leading up to Maddie's disappearance, according to audio obtained by FOX 35.

    The roommate described the relationship between Maddie and Sterns as a close "father-daughter" connection, although Sterns was not biologically related to her. He was the boyfriend of Maddie’s mother, Jenn Soto, and occasionally stayed at their residence in Kissimmee. Despite their close bond, the roommate said she noticed Sterns acting unusually in the days before Maddie went missing.

    According to the woman, she remembered hearing strange noises from Sterns' room one evening. “The noise lasted until at least I fell asleep,” she recalled during the interview. She also noted that Sterns had taken to doing laundry—a rare occurrence, she observed—and was seen with various power tools, including a hammer, for a project he didn’t disclose to anyone.

    "She noticed something odd about him because of the way he was moving around the house," the woman explained in Spanish, which was later translated by an interpreter. She mentioned that Jenn Soto had questioned Sterns about the tools, but he offered only vague responses, stating he was working on an unspecified project.

    Kissimmee police have since revealed even more disturbing details as part of the investigation. Detectives informed the woman during their interview that nude photographs of her were found on Sterns' phone. Authorities allege that Sterns used a hidden camera beneath the woman’s bedroom door to capture these images without her knowledge. She was asked to verify the photos, and after some hesitation, she reportedly confirmed their authenticity. "I take that as a ‘yes,’” one detective remarked after she paused, seemingly stunned by the revelation.

    The woman admitted that the discovery of these photos fundamentally changed her perception of Sterns. "Prior to seeing these photos, she couldn’t believe he could do something or hurt Maddie. Now, seeing these photos—yeah, he’s capable of anything, obviously," the detective translated, summarizing her reaction.

    Despite these findings, authorities have yet to file additional charges against Sterns related to the unauthorized photos of the roommate. Whether charges will be added for this alleged invasion of privacy remains unclear.

    Meanwhile, in newly released footage, detectives can be seen questioning both Maddie’s mother, Jenn Soto, and Sterns. While Jenn Soto defended Sterns at times during her interrogation, detectives expressed doubts that he acted alone. They were particularly skeptical after showing her photographs that allegedly captured abuse inflicted on her daughter.

    Stephan Sterns has been formally charged with first-degree murder in connection with Maddie Soto’s death. He also faces 60 counts related to sex abuse, following the discovery of explicit images of Maddie in a Google Drive linked to his cell phone. Sterns has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

  • On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the horrifying new developments in the tragic case of Madeline Soto. Jailhouse recordings reveal Stephan Sterns—charged with her murder and 60 counts of sexual abuse—expressing disbelief at the accusations. But investigators have uncovered chilling details that paint a much darker picture. From years of abuse that began when Madeline was only eight, to troubling new evidence of Sterns’ predatory behavior, the story becomes more disturbing with every revelation.

    We also examine Jennifer Soto’s unsettling role in the case—her refusal to act, her bizarre defense of the abuse, and her failure to protect her daughter. With the state seeking the death penalty and the trial set for 2025, this episode offers a deep dive into the investigation, the systemic failures, and the unanswered questions surrounding Madeline’s tragic death.

  • In this emotionally charged episode we examine the heartbreaking case of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, a young girl whose disappearance and tragic murder in early 2024 shook the Kissimmee community to its core. The man accused of taking her life is Stephan Sterns, her mother’s long-time boyfriend. What investigators uncovered following her death was far more than a simple missing person’s case. Sterns is now accused of years of horrifying sexual abuse, meticulously documented in over 1,500 disturbing images and videos found on his phone.

    As Sterns faces two pivotal trials in 2025—one in February for multiple counts of sexual battery and possession of child pornography, and another in September for Madeline’s murder—the community waits for justice to be served. Through detailed accounts, interviews, and police findings, this episode delves deep into the complex and unsettling home life Madeline endured, her relationship with Sterns, and the chilling evidence that points to years of abuse that went unnoticed. Join us as we explore the intricate details of this devastating case and the legal battles that lie ahead, uncovering how one young girl’s life was tragically cut short by someone who should have protected her.

  • How does a mother rationalize the abuse of her own child? For Madeline Soto, the answer seems to be disassociation—compartmentalizing the horrors happening right under her roof. When confronted with undeniable evidence that her boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, allegedly abused and groomed her daughter, Soto’s reaction is nothing short of chilling. In this interrogation, Soto shows clear emotional disconnect, rubbing her hands as though trying to wipe away the guilt, while Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent, analyzes the trauma that led her to this moment. Could years of alleged abuse in her own life explain her lack of action, or is something deeper at play? And ultimately, does that excuse her from responsibility?

  • How do you respond when shown undeniable evidence of abuse involving your own child? Apparently, if you're Madeline Soto, you prioritize your partner—Stephan Sterns—over your daughter's safety. Even after being shown explicit images of assault involving her daughter, Soto’s first thought was to protect Sterns, telling his father to get him a lawyer. In this chilling conversation with police, the emotional disconnect and disturbing rationalizations take center stage. Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent, breaks down the dark psychology behind Soto's behavior, exploring how trauma bonding and disassociation might have played a role in her twisted loyalties. But here's the real question: Should she be held accountable for her actions, or is she just another victim of her own brokenness?

  • Is denial enough to excuse a mother for failing to protect her child from alleged abuse and murder? In this chilling episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive deep into the disturbing case of Stephan Sterns, who allegedly abused and murdered 13-year-old Madeline Soto just one day after her birthday. The evidence, including graphic photos and a calm, cold interrogation, paints a horrific picture. While Sterns’ traumatic brain injuries are being pointed to by some, can they really explain away such monstrous actions? Meanwhile, Jennifer Soto, Madeline’s mother, remains an enigma—how could someone who saw the abuse first hand still instinctively protect Sterns? Shavaun Scott explores the psychology behind denial, emotional dependence, and why some parents fail to act when their children are in danger. But the biggest question remains: Is Jennifer Soto truly blind to the horror that happened under her own roof, or is there something much darker hiding behind her excuses?

  • How does someone remain so calm after being accused of unimaginable crimes? Stephan Sterns, charged with the sexual abuse and alleged murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, didn’t seem fazed at all when shown disturbing evidence against him. It’s as if he was discussing what to have for lunch instead of being exposed as a predator. Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the chilling psychology of Sterns—his botched attempt to wipe incriminating evidence, his apparent narcissism, and whether his traumatic brain injuries could explain any of his monstrous behavior. And then there’s Jennifer Soto, Madeline’s mother, who repeatedly chose to protect Stearns over her daughter, even after seeing clear evidence of his abuse. Was she truly that blind, or is there something far more twisted at play? What would make a mother turn a blind eye to her child’s suffering?
