  • The dumpster where #StephanSterns allegedly discarded #MadelineSoto's belongings is located near the back entrance of their apartment complex. According to investigators, Sterns had to return to the home to get a device that opens the front gate of their gated community, which is guarded by security, after "dropping" Madeline off at school.

      The only thing that makes sense to me is, the mom never saw Maddie in am because she was never home. If cops saw Maddie and say they believe she was no longer alive in the car, to me that says they saw her in the car..Stephen wasn't on camera carrying a dead body into a car..I believe somehow she was with him away from her home during the night and he drove w her dead body positioning it as if shecwas sleeping in the car seat, he came to her home grabbed her belongings from mom...gave her some bs LIE she accepted then left threw her things out on camera and left to get rid of her body..there's cameras all over her condo complex, and NOWAY he took her dead body out that CONDO in am and carried her out..they somehow got together during 11pm-7am Sunday to Monday..was Maddie supposed to sleep at grandma's? Or did she really come home see her mom go to bed and sneak out to see Stephen which lead to her death..

      That’s exactly what I think as well. I think she’s interested in that not at school, everyone is telling her she’s a teen & so grown up, & I think all that made her feel brave enough to tell him if he ever touches her again, she’ll tell or call police. I think he flipped out & choked her to death. I know everyone thinks she’s pregnant, & she could’ve been pregnant, but I’ve just felt from the start she just had enough & said, “hell no!”. I think we forget as adults how some of the big milestone birthdays made us feel like we were all grown up already & knew it all. For me, those important birthdays were 13, 16, 18, & 21 (even though I’ve never been a huge drinker & haven’t drank in decades).

      I agree. If mom had said a party her friends had for her that might be a different story. But it was said grandma and aunt and other family (moms family) were there. So super weird mom did not insist it be scheduled when she could join. Especially since her actual birthday was Thursday, they were already scheduling a party later, on a weekend when family was free. Only way it *maybe* makes sense is if this is the kind of family that gets together every single Sunday for dinner and just happen to do cake and presents at the same time when its anyone's birthday and mom & daughter had already done something Thursday, then *maybe* it's not wierd that mom didn't reschedule work. Otherwise, it confirms something is off w Mom and that relationship. It's her only child ffs.

This poor girl for years was living in hell. As a fahter my heart breaks so much for her. If anyone is in her situation please dont wait. Tell someone like a teacher or counselor.

      But yeah the bio dad didn't act like a dad either. Bio dads need to start realizing they have a responsibility to be in this child's life protecting them and interacting daily. Be a dad. Notice if your child is acting different.
      Especially since we're forcing women to have their babies now, they need to be forced to be the dad for the baby they created, if we're going to force women.
      Women shouldn't be the only ones forced to carry a fetus to term and then parent the baby alone.
      It's time we start really holding men accountable if we're going to force the outcome of an unplanned pregnancy on women. They may love that child with all their hearts once it's been forced to be born, but that doesn't mean they will be ready. That outcome needs to be forced on men as well.

      I believe that she was paying some sort of rent and utilizes to her dad. I don’t think she would be working full time at Disney and especially a night shift just for kicks. Stephan was working at Disney as a cast member also up until September 2023, so I would imagine and hope that he was pitching in

    After her party at her relative's house Sterns must've taken her to a p.e.d.o party where she was abused and murdered . He drove home with her body propped up in the front seat with her head phone placed on her head . Still asleep , he woke Jen up and said to her he was on his way to drop her off at school and told her to wave to Madeline from the bedroom window . He then tossed her backpack and computer then dumped her body at the behest of the p.e.d.o ring. He nearly gets caught by a passerby motorist so used a flat tyer excuse as a ruse .
    It would've been easy to convince already well groomed , used ,desperate for love, and gaslit Jen that he dropped her off at a church .
    Madeline's phone was deliberately left home the night before by Sterns as not to PING the location of the p.e.d.o party - IMO .

So was she in the house dead or in the car dead before he left the house to throw her stuff away?
