Thanks to "The Docket" for this audio interview from OCSO: www.youtube.com/@TheDocket71 NO COMMENTARY, ADS 2/28/24: Jennifer Soto sees Stephan Sterns photos www.patreon.com/PaulaMooney/shop/no-commentary-ads-2-28-24-jennifer-soto-442260
Thank you to the Docket and others who helped. I’m not sure I want to watch this. But if we don’t there will continue to be more cases. We have the power by suffering through the learning to make a difference.
JS is protecting SS during ALL these interviews😮 Where are the questions, the outrage, trying to HELP find her? “I wish I could tell you something, but I can’t” JS thought she has issues before. She’ll be in her own private hell from now on.
@@VEGANISTA269 The audio playing is from another interview. I’m assuming Plunder wanted to give us something to look at while we listened! It took me a minute to figure it out.
The fact that she literally saw pictures of SS with her daughter and wasn't absolutely horrified, says it all. And then she continues to protect him and make excuses for that monster! SICK
Yeah, she is saying that sexual acts happened but if it's possible that is totally separate from her going missing. I wonder if she's normalizing abuse or it just seems that way by the way she is trying to explain it.
@@celpaz4584 it’s called denial. She’s separating the two because her brain is focused on she might be alive somewhere and it’s nothing to do with Stefen. I swear all of you are just watching these with your eyes closed, certainly with your minds made up. You all jump on her for every tiny thing that you think she should have reacted to in another way. She is not the criminal here. Predators gaslight, she’s neurodivergent, she doesnt know what’s real, she has to take time to understand. You see the denial pieces fall away and it’s so sad. She is a victim here too and we are missing the big conversations because it could happen to any mum and none of us know how we would really react.
@@Loopylou81could happen to any of us? Maybe. But I sure wouldn’t offer up my child on a silver platter by sending them to sleep with my boyfriend, or even “cuddle”. She claims she is a victim of SA, you would think she would have been much more cautious, putting her own needs and wants before her daughter.
@@Loopylou81 You are so right, that's how I saw it,she just wants her daughter to be alive. This video is so brutal,I could never watch it again. I'm here because of the plunder lady I respect this lady's opinion and I like to know how she sees it. I think Jen could have said to police f.u. I want an attorney and just left. I think never ever seeing her child again and knowing it's because of her decisions is a nightmare she won't wake up from.
She absolutely knew what was going on. Her reaction says it all. Any other parent would be screaming and tearing the place down trying to get to the perpetrator to tear them limb from limb. Not wanting to look at the photos! Like she said “she’s a watcher”. She leaked her truth right there
Cops says she did Not know .Jenn is Slow I Believe. Maybe she was in shock and didn't want to Believe it. She Allowed different men in her Daughter life and thought everyone a Father Figures.
@@Fergie66813NOPE. Detectives told SS dad that IT APPEARED as though she wasn’t involved in the CSAM and they also specifically told Jenn her role in her own daughter’s life is the reason she was abused and murdered. Hope this helps!
I think she thought as Maddie got older she seen Maddie as her competition. The Woody Allen comment she makes and Maddie telling her friends that her mom was going to kick her out at 18yrs old, is why I think that.
Could it be possible she lied about her assault?… in don’t wanna assume that, but like, she should have had a violent reaction to that information. I know Stephen groomed her, so maybe that’s why it’s shock and just denial…. Idk.
Jennifer complained she didn’t want to press charges, because she seemed to question whether anyone could prove it was Stephen in the photos, was something she questioned/asked. She seems far too casual, as a response to finding out her 11-year-old to 13-year-old daughter, or possibly earlier than 11-year-old, was routinely sexually abused by her previous boyfriend. What type of society allows this extent of sexual assault to occur against under age, girls, and such close proximity of public school, psychiatrist treating the child, parents, close relatives, friends, and schoolmates or teachers. And no one asks any questions or has a close enough relationship with the child or conversations about stranger danger, that the child can communicate extreme Traumatic molestation? Perhaps a society where priest pedophiles are a frequency.
So let me get this straight. Jenn is on disability due to PTSD that resulted from an SA incident with a man during a date. She was an adult with an adult vocabulary, ability to express herself and understanding of the event. Apparently she was so traumatized that she was never again to return to the workforce in any consistent meaningful way. Yet she has the audacity to describe what happened to her daughter, a child as “not evil”. She appeared to feel bad for SS if she “decided” to press charges. Stunning in her lack of care or regard for this poor little girl. After finding out, she reached out to SS father to suggest he retained a lawyer. The focus went immediately to Stephen, whose importance superseded her own daughter in every way conceivable. I’m stupefied by the negligence. bTW-What mother worries about her sleep when her child is missing. She appears more and more guilty with every interview. She can get all the sleep she wants in her prison cell.
This is _not_ a mother that just found out her daughter has been s*xually ab*sed.. I'm so sorry sweet Maddie, I hope your mother gets held accountable❤🙏
She sounds like some mothers who have their own sa history and never did any healing. They tend to gravitate toward perps and continue the generational abuse. Jen's mom seemed very disconnected to her own emotions with regards to missing Maddy.
She didn’t. She was shown pictures EARLIER and texted Stephan’s father that Stephan made mistakes and get him a lawyer now! She’s confronted in this interview about how she wanted to protect Stephan after seeing he raped her daughter
@@heartsmyfaceforever8140 no the detectives in later interviews confront her over and over with the text she sent Stephan that told him directly to get a lawyer they had the text she sent to him she on top of that talk to both her ex husband and Chris Sterns about getting Stephan a lawyer they confront her with all this
@@heartsmyfaceforever8140 this video is not the tape. I don’t know why she did that. I don’t know why she put this video on for the tape. The tape is audio Only. this video is from March 1. This tape is from February 28. I’ve no clue why she did that she’s confusing people doesn’t make any sense.
Omg i caught that too! Both of them speak in code, as if dangling it in front of our faces but disguising what and how things happened!!😮 its insane to meeeeee that Jenn hasn’t been arrested, i hope the police dept / DA have a good card up their sleeves.
This is so weird. They literally show tell her they have photos of her child with that monster and she does nothing. She barely says a word about it and just continues a normal conversation. It’s so wild.
No matter how many times she denies her guilt, this indicates to me she had knowledge of the abuse prior to everything coming out. How could a mother come to acceptance of something so vile? She comes off as she's processed it and can some how accept that part but not the part where he murdered her? This is more than being in denial or having mental issues. I believe she absolutely knew what was going on and refuses to admit her involvement😡😡😤😭
@@sbcc3415 agreed - she's is smart enough to know that if she admits anything she would have to accept her guilt in the matter; so, she denies everything.
idk Ive seen denial in action, when the person doesnt want it to be true or cant handle the truth, it can be pretty extreme to the extent that you think the person must be mental. The way she admits that she still cant believe it after seeing the photo convinces me that her brains practiced in it (and slow on the pick up). I believed her here. Shes doped up tf on meds (I wonder if she started on the meds before or after he started abusing her daughter, hm). That said I cant believe there wasnt a time that she knew, before she lost her mind to meds and denial so, for that and being mean to her daughter I wouldnt cry if she sees time but I dont think she will. Shes effed anyway.
I can’t with this woman. So selfish. The only thing she cares about about is her meds and sleep. That’s it. I don’t get why she continues to lie even with immunity.
@@hiddenhand6973No she doesn't. That seems to be a common misconception. They did ONE interview at one point and they said they could not use anything she said during that one interview against her.
I have never hated a stranger so much! She KNEW! She is distancing herself from her CHILD, she REFUSES to say MADDIE, but she’ll say “her” or “the body.”
I have a relative who kept her kids as spite from people who cared about them and would’ve taken great care of them. She abused them horribly and let others do it. This seems to be the same here. You know these women don’t make good choices and spite the ones who would.
Quote from Jen after knowing Stephan has been abusing and assaulting her own daughter. " I don't think Stephan would do nothing to hurt Maddie." Mam, he's been ABUSING your damn daughter for year's, what do you mean?! I'm sorry, but she is either ignorant as hell or/and complicit with his behavior. I would be furious after learning this , she shows NO emotion. She's actually taking up for him. Put her in damn cuffs. I can't stand this awful excuse of a mother !!! No excuses.......
I'm with you. I'm really just kinda lost here watching her. I can't imagine the world in which I would react like this or even understand another mother reacting like this under these circumstances. This is insane. The only excuse for what we are listening to here is an IQ under 20. I try never to judge others ever especially when I don't have all of the facts but WTF kind of fkery are we listening to? Even more disturbing is toward the end of the audio the detective is asking her questions that lead me to believe there may be a possibility that the authorities were considering the possibility of an additional perpetrator and/or potentially secondary locations or more. I pray that Madeline was at least spared from any other or additional predators. Poor sweet Maddie. I wish they would stop saying that Maddie and that demon were having a "relationship". Well indeed they did a classic predator/victim relationship.
If you notice, after she has seen the evidence she refers to it as sexual relations. She does not see it as abuse, assault or that other word YT does not like. She should never be in charge of a child if she does not know the difference
I bet in her head she was blaming Maddy for the SA cause in her eyes Stephen can’t do no wrong. How the hell she’s freaking defending him even after seeing the pics?
I’m disappointed In Florida for not charging her…she is the reason her daughter is gone😢 We (mothers) protect our children…not serve them up to predators 😡
@@alia9087 she should at least be charged with felony child endangerment for allowing her child to share a bed ALONE with an adult man (who’s not her dad) … Jen Soto should absolutely never be permitted near any child-for the rest of her life!
Who sees a photo of their child being SAd then asks for more evidence because they don’t yet believe it 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ she knew damn well what she saw
My theory- she was trying to evaluate the evidence to see if she’s caught on camera or anything. She probably told ss “can’t risk Maddie sleeping in my bed anymore “ cuz things were happening with Jen in the bed (remember they all three slept in bed together) and she didn’t want to be caught on camera
Jen was abused maybe had stolkhom,, sees Maddie and ss in a “relationship” as a result ? Completely wrong but I would want an abused person to fiercely protect their own child but often the abused become abusers themselves. So maybe she watched or participated but we know for sure she’s complicit and ignorant .. I assume she gained money/drugs from it as well since csam was likely being sold by ss
She allowed her boyfriend to SLEEP with her daughter !!!!! What kind of monster is she!!! How could she not know he was going to rape her??? They are BOTH monsters!!! They both belong in jail !!!!
What the hell is wrong with this woman? She was told what the picture contained and still wanted to see it and even knowing the perv who had been abusing her daughter was the last to see her, she still refuses to believe he k@lled her and tells his dad to get him a lawyer? Poor Maddie.
So, after they let her know her daughter was being abused by Stephan … she says “ I don’t think anyone I know would hurt her “ implying that the SA wasn’t painful for Madeline? That was absolutely hurting her.
Just her reaction to finding out her daughters been molested is what makes me think. She knew the whole time. She’s not even emotionally upset by this news.
What a waste of space! She needs to be charged! Ultimately, it's her fault that maddie was used and abused and removed from this world. Falls back 100% on her!
Thanks plunder someone asked me if I was sure about Jenn getting a lawyer for Stephan AFTER seeing the pictures and sure enough this is the evidence right here😡😡😡😤🤮 thanks for all you do, God bless you in Jesus name! ❤
I'm honestly wondering how long he messed with their meds, she's in a fog at first, but her mind seems to finally absorb what's happening. And she was afraid of they kept focusing on Stearns and Maddie was alive they would stop looking that's why she wanted him to have a lawyer??? Idk
@@sbcc3415 as you listen to these interviews he was lying to his father about where he was going and coming to visit them multiple times. But she wouldn't need to be drugged when he wasn't there
She's almost too much for me to psychologically deduce. It's one of the worst cases of dangerous and damaging mental afflictions, that I've ever seen. It's so far beyond arrested development, that I'm wondering if she's not genetically, mentally impaired or disabled? And NO- ADD doesn't count. So sick of those two and their addaddaddadd focus. I mean, she doesn't even have the AFFECT of a 13 yo girl... she literally lives, thinks like, and has the emotional mentality of someone 10-13, imo. It's clear that she knew wrong things were going on. To what extent, i don't know yet. However, the fact that she KNEW ENOUGH TO EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE WOODY ALLEN incidents of abusive behaviors, and that she flat out stated that she didn't want the same thing to happen to she and her daughter, proves that intentionally, repeatedly, offered up her daughter to stephan to abuse. She can't feign ignorance, when she KNEW things like that happen in the world, she KNEW of a specific incident when that happened w woody allen, and she STATED that she was afraid of that happening. And she decided to be neglectful, and turn the other way, because she wanted to chase deep sleep every single day, as often as she could. Her life was wake, work, go hime to her bedroom, med up, eat in there then zone out. I'd be surprised if she was ever up for more than an hour, max, each time she returned home from work. Stephan was her live-in nanny, and stephan made jenn feel like a normal woman, w more protection, help, and a partner to help her w everyyyyyyything, than just doing it all by herself. They'll slap her w felonious child neglect, w depraved indifference... maybe some perjury. She'll see jail time, and maybe even a murder charge, but i doubt it. The other stuff, alone, will put her away for many, many, many years. Maybe she can grow up, and get a clue in prison.
Jen barely even worked. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe she worked since at least 2020 to a week (few days?) before Maddie was unalived. She states herself that other than doctors appointments that her and Maddie had, she was always home. And I'll make a bet that most, if not all of those doctor appointments were when Maddie was in school. She also stated she would pick Maddie up from school (although in other interviews said her family sometimes did too). Which leads me to wonder, how often did SS pick up Maddie from school? She originally said he took her a few times and commented about how Maddie was always embarrassed by his car, then in the immunity interview admitted she can't remember if he ever took her to school before (note how her voice gets softer/lower when confessing to a lie). If he also never picked her up then that is another major ding towards her/their lies. Why even lie about how often he took her anyway? And to even go so far as to mention Maddie's embarrassment of his car would show knowing and premeditation to lie.
One more thing, she mentions how while Maddie was at school she'd nap. So I'm really interested in knowing time stamps and locations of all of the photos SS took. Would she really be napping again after Maddie got home? In which case, someone remind me again why Jen didn't let her stay with her Mom? She claims bc she wanted to see Maddie, yet wouldn't see her in the morning bc she wanted SS to take her to school and wouldn't see her in the evening because she had work. Besides all of that, Jen only was working a couple of days a week. So why bring him up from hours away for a couple days a week? She could have sent Maddie to her Grandmother's for those couple of days. There's just still so much that doesn't make sense and is so fishy.
You know I seriously think she killed her daughter. I think her loser bf was messing around with her CHILD and like you said she has the mentality of a 10-13 year old, she was jealous and killed her . The more I watch this I see with different eyes . Why does she keep mentioning the press conf ? She’s paranoid! She’s the one in that grainy video ! SS’s father and mother said it in their interviews .
She could only request a lawyer, pretty sure Jenifer could not pay to even consult with a lawyer.. the last consult I paid for was 400 back during Covid
Jenn texted Chris that he needed to get a lawyer. Yes, people have a right to a lawyer, but I would not have sent Chris that message. Instead, I would have messaged, “You better hope your r*pist son NEVER gets out of prison…”
Omg. This woman! She knows the sexual stuff happened but is convinced that he didn't do anything to hurt her or make her disappear??? W lthe actual F??? Lock her ass up.
This is one of those cases that get under my skin. That poor child was failed by everyone. And her "mother" served her up to a predator. It also scares me that creeps like thess two somehow infiltrated Disney as employees.
In my opinion the reason she doesn't react to those pictures like a real mother would is because she knew. No one will convince me otherwise! She needs to be behind bars.
They described it as it was. Yes, she was groomed, assaulted, r*ped, etc. but to maddie, at times it seemed by the evidence they had that she felt that they were in a relationship, they were in love. I was groomed at a young age and i remember feeling that puppy love for my adult abuser. Also, they are describing this in every possible way they can in an attempt to get a reaction out of her. And it eventually worked. The only time she showed any devastation was when it hit her that she was being cheated on. And it seemed she was upset about the general cheating.. not even about the fact that he assaulted her baby while doing it. As frustrating her immunity deal is, I do like these detectives. They have done quite well.
@@PlAiNJaNe521 It's a tactic, for sure. These are police investigators with likely a long history of doing this work. They know it's a crime and know it's f*cked up. But note how JS just keeps glossing over the SA or even them being in a "relationship". No outbursts like "he was R wording my daughter, that's not a relationship!". Nothing like that or any outbursts at all. Yet another interview that makes me unable to help but to think she knew or at least highlyyy suspected (ie Woody Allen comment).
How can Jennifer says she suffers from PTSD after being…by the man who gave her a job interview but then she acts nonchalant and advises Stephan to get a lawyer after seeing the photos of Maddie being….! Like is this lady serious???? Lock her up!
I just don’t understand how they can say she’s not being prosecuted but in every single interview the officers can obviously tell she’s lying and even calls her out every time! How is this woman free??
She is just unbelievable! She’s glossing over the videos and photos as if they’re just happy family photos. She’s just all for that monster. Wake up woman ! You’re as much to blame as he is.
Come on you don’t know anything about sending your precious daughter to your ex bf bed while you freaking get a good nights sleep girl you barely work try being a house manager and cleaning a mansion and having a cleaning business and a nanny I protect all kids your a poor excuse for a mom 😮poor Maddie had no one to help her I’m in tears 😭 along with the rest of everyone in here that has a heart ❤️ and are decent ppl
Because we are at the fineto line-people can see that something is wrong here but they don’t know what it is or what is happening. The Bible is unfolding right before our eyes. That last chapter is getting ready to play out.
I tried for months to give Jenn the benefit of the doubt....but if someone showed me pictures of my missing child being assaulted by anyone, let alone a friend and partner of five years, I'd be hysterical and baying for his blood, not wondering if I should bring charges against him. One of my own sons ran away several times as a troubled teenager....I couldn't sleep and was crying and vomiting in distress , in absolute Hell. Jenn Soto seems more bothered by the prospect of her child's rap*St being jailed than her child being missing possibly murdered. It's insane. Thanks for uploading the interviews and your continued ethical coverage of the case, I love this channel.
And lastly of things I noticed.... I can't find the time stamp.... but even AFTER seeing the photo[s]..... Jenn asks "can I choose to not press charges and possibly change my mind later?" WHAT MOTHER WOULD EVEN ASK THIS?!?! bless maddie in heaven. She was failed from the start smh!!
@@Cdghda I am SO GLAD they did not treat her as nice as [let's say nichol kessinger].... granted her high ranking dad was in the room.... I live in orlando and I'm so glad they did not play into ANY of jenns antics.... now just hoping she gets charged. There's zero way she didn't know.... especially if he didn't live there often....as she claims.... smh and it's "your boyfriend " but haven't been intimate in 2 years?... then let him sleep in a bed with your daughter?? When we visit family 5 min away, i don't even let my kids in any rooms I can't see them. She needs at least NEGLECT charges.
@@Cdghda also makes me sick any questions about stephan individually or LITERALLY ANYTHING other than those days of the events.... she's so matter of fact.... she can give times, detailed convos...ect... but anything with him and maddie.... *quiet voice* "idk.....I'm not sure....I don't recall"..... without being vulgar.... I'll just say..... I hope she gets punished also.
She actually thought it would be her decision whether to press charges or not!?! And she didn't know whether or not she wanted to press charges! What is wrong with her?! Those detectives sure do have a lot of restraint. I'd be yelling at her.
Omg. Omg. Did she just say that Maddie and SS had a sexual relationship???? No no no. He SA her. She makes it like her little daughter wanted it?!?!? I gotta take a break after that. That's infuriating!!!!
HORRIFIC 😡😡😡😡😡 Jen Soto can only think about Stephen Sterns!!!! and not her young daughter!!!! Jen Soto makes me sick to my stomach💯💯💯💯 please arrest her, put her behind bars. She’s a horrible mother who did not love her daughter.😡😡😡😡😡
Funny she had a ton of questions while they were questioning her but then asked do you have any questions? She says no none I can think of . ....ugh I keep watching all her interviews over n over she knows something. It's so frustrating. Thank you for hard work on all your uploads I enjoy them with your commentary as well. JUSTICE FOR MADDIE!
When my ex was found to have moles**d my daughter, I was automatically charged with neglect in the state of California in the 80’s. I had anonymously reported him previously and also had taken my daughter to a therapist to address my suspicion that she was being abused. The charges were dropped against me. I was told by the attorney that the charges were automatic because many mothers do know about that type of abuse and do nothing. She definitely should be charged with neglect at the very least.
Js contradicts herself when she says "I believe you when you talk to me about those images" followed by "those images MIGHT be real." Detective asks her, "do you think he would ever hurt maddie?" and js replies, "no I don't think he would. No." This is AFTER seeing the photos. The SA didn't bother her because she knew. She's only shocked because she thought resetting the phone would erase the photos. Cops say he factory reset his phone twice in one day. I wish the cops showed her all the most graphic photos not just a close up of the perv!
To me Jen is one cold fish. Her actions, her behavior, her attitude, her vocabulary is all saying she knew what was happening with her daughter, she doesn’t even act ashamed of what SS did to her daughter, she knew her daughter was not part of this earth anymore as well. She should be behind bars the rest of her life. She can sleep in a cell all she wants. Just an opinion!
She’s not even hysterical about her daughter possibly being dead. This so-called mother does not even care. Jen Soto cares more about Steven Sterns than her own child and I believe in my opinion that Jen Soto knew what was going on with her daughter and Stephen sickening. Just sickening, I hope they rest her and put her in prison😡😡👿😡👿😡👿
She doesn't seem to have any emotional or loving connection with Maddie. She does seem to think if she acts innocent and dumb that she can get away with being a co-conspirator without any charges against her. I hope that isn't the case.
If you listen to some of her replies about what they used to do etc, I think she was the boss in that relationship. She is playing dumb. In one interview when the detective picks her up on defending SS she then changes to saying how horrid he is. She knows just what she is doing
Poor little girl never had a chance with these monsters🤬 listening to her say “but” after seeing proof of her daughter being abused makes me wanna reach out and serve justice my damn self. Demonic at its best ..she’s the same monster as Stephan 😩
How she said where "they" could be in reference to MS and SS, and then the woody Allen comment, she knew the two of them were too close for comfort and she allowed it. No mother or person could ever be so blind
What a liar. She changes the frequency of the upstairs sleeping arrangements. How could so many pictures of sexual abuse have occurred if there were so few opportunities? With ALL those incidents where and when could there have been time?
@@kimlarsoyes they did that. They “combed” through the evidence and said she’s not involved.They check her phone, his phone , gps , her whole life but she was telling the truth. This interview is Feb if they were gonna arrest her it would have already happened
@@jenreilly8058it happened in her home, for years, while she was home. SS had a lot of alone time with Maddie, a lot of private access to her. No excuse for this, NONE. Jenn prioritized SS and continued to do so while Maddie was missing and then found. I get that since there’s no paper trail or electronic footprint that she won’t be arrested but it does not mean she did nothing wrong.
You’re not liking it for the actual content you’re liking it to push plunder into the algorithm and to be shown to more viewers so always like the videos of content creators you enjoy so their channels can grow
She didn’t even act upset when she found out about the sexual abuse and the pictures! I feel like she felt like she was in competition with her child daughter. 😢
I think she offered her daughter as she had decided she didn't want to partake. It was so she could keep him around. Another sad woman who cannot live without a man in her life
She's saying, "we're waiting for him to move back down here," like he's gonna get out, and they are still going to be together if he gets out. She's gross
@@jenreilly8058 She didn't start even remotely "coming to terms with it" until the investigator got "mean" and grilled her. Which does not scream coming to terms with it. It screams I'm crying because I'm being called out for being a sh**ty Mom!
@@jenreilly8058 Or are you referring to her crying because she was asked if her birthday was tomorrow and "it's the worst birthday ever"? Or is it when she cried when reminded Stephan cheated on her? Because the tears for straight Maddie have been little to none.
@@LilyPedals did u see when they interviewed SS’s dad and he tried to implicate Jenn and the LE said she won’t be getting arrested because she did nothing wrong, and he was like oh,, that told me she had no knowledge along with other things
How can she talk so calmly without any care when she was just told about the SA of her daughter. It’s as if she just forgets about it without emotion and goes on to talk about her day.
She wanted to see a picture of Stephan's face actually abusing Maddie, if it was on someone else's phone then she would be relieved that it wasn't Stephan
She says she didnt know. Well she knows now and shes still sticking up for that POS. what is wrong with her??? Im just flabbergasted over her whole attitude and demeanor. Unbelievable. Poor Maddie. My heart breaks for that little girl. Her mother is a monster who handed her over to another monster. I just can't......
I’m so disgusted with this so call lady, she is a freaking sociopath. How can she even contemplate on pressing charges? I CAN NOTTT. Please lock her up already!
Thank you @PLUNDERTruecrime you freaking rock! You are hands down my favorite! And you bring the Lord into these dark topics, hallelujah! Thank you for the hard work and praise Jesus!
She is checked out. Wanted the relationship with the pervert so badly that she sacrificed her daughter & ignored the signs. Jennifer is so wrapped in herself & her needs that she handed her child over to SA
the moment he tells her what did they tell u ,she says i found out they were sexually active wtf !!!!!! she avoids making him look bad ,,,sexually active he was rapping her and abusing her !!!!!!! why does they devil seem to protect him throw her in prison !!!!!!!!!!!
Who she kidding. He wasn’t qualified to be a construction manager. That’s a grueling job. Sterns isn’t a full grown mature man. My son-in-law is a construction manager and it takes a long job of experience. She lies for him to look better than he is. She’s lying so much.
Stephan can’t change a tire without injury and his dad offers him a construction manager job the dude propably don’t know how to use any tools not even a hammer
Blows my mind how she just glosses over “I know the sex acts happened”. I would’ve been enraged, horrified to learn that. “Not only is my daughter missing, she was being abused right under my nose by this person I trusted”. She knew, she had to know!
30,000 + pictures on his phone and she only sent them off to sleep in a room together 5 or 6 times their whole relationship? You are not telling the truth ma’am!
The photos on his phone were not all of Madeline. He had downloads from the dark web. It will be concluded that she knew nothing. She certainly made some strange decisions, Too many prescription drugs. Hatred and angry needs to be directed at Sterns.
With Maddie in the middle! At least jen could have put Maddie on the other side of her away from stef. What mother would sleep with her daughter and boyfriend with her daughter next to her boyfriend!?Then send them off to sleep together so she could get "good sleep". I can't comprehend!
This lady basically gave her daughter out to this man like she was nothing. This poor child had no one to protect her. Children deserve better and her daughter deserved way better. It’s scary how many people are like her … so called mothers. She has no care for her own daughter. Only the sick and twisted guy she allowed to molest and ultimately murder her own daughter. This person needs to be charged because she was the person who was supposed to protect Maddie
It’s not a big leap in my mind that if he was capable of sexually assaulting her child that he might be capable of murdering her child. Why does she not see that she can be so wrong about his involvement in Maddie’s disappearance? Her lack of emotion boggles my mind. Is she just dumb?
The reaction to finding out he was SAing Maddie in every way imaginable is ridiculously subdued. I would go in full on panic mode. “If there were any signs, I didn’t see any.”- what?!! Her instinct is to defend herself.
Shes lying about the sleeping arrangements, she let her daughter go upstairs with him all the time, can’t wait until the trial and listen to Stephan’s story, since he made the comment to his father I didn’t start it
I understand a lot of ppl took that as defecting to Jen starting it, but I took it as him alluding that Maddie initiated or flirted - a common illogical response from Prevs
I’m thinking Stephan “confessed” to Jen that Maddie CAME ON TO HIM and he succumbed to Maddie’s enticement. That’s exactly what child molesters say. I think that’s why Jen talked about Woody Allen and wrote the cryptic message “she couldn’t take the chance because Maddie was still sleeping with her”. I don’t know what the message means but I think it’s connected to Jen’s knowledge of the abuse.
I believe you’re correct Catherine Grace. Jennifer somehow does not seem surprised at these photos. She was shown, but it feels like she’s faking shock and at the same time just defending her boyfriend to the end. That’s why she could see these photos and still leave this interview and insist That Stephan’s dad get him a lawyer ASAP

Thank you to the Docket and others who helped. I’m not sure I want to watch this. But if we don’t there will continue to be more cases. We have the power by suffering through the learning to make a difference.
JS is protecting SS during ALL these interviews😮 Where are the questions, the outrage, trying to HELP find her? “I wish I could tell you something, but I can’t” JS thought she has issues before. She’ll be in her own private hell from now on.
@@sarahreesnes8540 exactly…wow.
Is the audio in sync with the video? Or is that on my end?
@@VEGANISTA269 The audio playing is from another interview. I’m assuming Plunder wanted to give us something to look at while we listened! It took me a minute to figure it out.
Omg - she thinks there’s no connection between the S.A. and Maddie going missing 🤦♀️
As a mother I wouldn't have even been able to get those words out of my mouth
Very strange, like she doesn't want to come out a delusion that stephan isn't a sick pervert and m*rderer,
‘Nobody I know would harm her’ - just after finding out about the abuse… 🤷♀️
No, she doesn’t think.. she’s KNOWS that’s what caused her to go missing
The fact that she literally saw pictures of SS with her daughter and wasn't absolutely horrified, says it all. And then she continues to protect him and make excuses for that monster! SICK
I have NEVER wanted to punch the Sonic rings out of someone more in my entire life.
This is the comment. I have the same thought when I see or hear JS or SS. Neither deserves a mention by name.
@@winnie6203 I KEEP having to exit these videos because their voices make me so sick!!
Lmao this 😂
😂😂 I’m using this lololol 😂
@@michmasharts8870I comment too much with this case..I’m so infuriated..then YT warns me I’m being offensive smh
Wouldn't a mother be horrified hearing that?? She seems so calm.
I would go crazy! I would want to get a hold of him!
SHOCK
She's way too calm...is it the meds keeping her calm? I don't know, but I would have been FURIOUS!!!
I'd be vomiting at thought of the police telling me that info. She's literally questioning the validity and asking to see the picture. RED FLAG WEIRDO
Yeah, and to ask to see more evidence because she doesn’t believe it….. like WTF
She loves to talk about Stephen but no words of pity for her own daughter.
Maddie prob wasn’t embarrassed of Stefan’s car - she was embarrassed of HIM
Exactly
Right on!
@@lindsayloo5049I think so too
Sometimes I think SS and JS made that up ..
@@lindsayloo5049 Yes, TOO REHEARSED.
She's normalizing the abuse and still excusing that monster
Yeah, she is saying that sexual acts happened but if it's possible that is totally separate from her going missing. I wonder if she's normalizing abuse or it just seems that way by the way she is trying to explain it.
It may have happened to her, but does not excuse her normalizing it imho.
@@celpaz4584 it’s called denial. She’s separating the two because her brain is focused on she might be alive somewhere and it’s nothing to do with Stefen.
I swear all of you are just watching these with your eyes closed, certainly with your minds made up. You all jump on her for every tiny thing that you think she should have reacted to in another way.
She is not the criminal here.
Predators gaslight, she’s neurodivergent, she doesnt know what’s real, she has to take time to understand. You see the denial pieces fall away and it’s so sad.
She is a victim here too and we are missing the big conversations because it could happen to any mum and none of us know how we would really react.
@@Loopylou81could happen to any of us? Maybe. But I sure wouldn’t offer up my child on a silver platter by sending them to sleep with my boyfriend, or even “cuddle”. She claims she is a victim of SA, you would think she would have been much more cautious, putting her own needs and wants before her daughter.
@@Loopylou81 You are so right, that's how I saw it,she just wants her daughter to be alive. This video is so brutal,I could never watch it again. I'm here because of the plunder lady I respect this lady's opinion and I like to know how she sees it. I think Jen could have said to police f.u. I want an attorney and just left.
I think never ever seeing her child again and knowing it's because of her decisions is a nightmare she won't wake up from.
She absolutely knew what was going on. Her reaction says it all. Any other parent would be screaming and tearing the place down trying to get to the perpetrator to tear them limb from limb. Not wanting to look at the photos! Like she said “she’s a watcher”. She leaked her truth right there
Cops says she did Not know .Jenn is Slow I Believe. Maybe she was in shock and didn't want to Believe it. She Allowed different men in her Daughter life and thought everyone a Father Figures.
I Agree 😢
@@Fergie66813NOPE. Detectives told SS dad that IT APPEARED as though she wasn’t involved in the CSAM and they also specifically told Jenn her role in her own daughter’s life is the reason she was abused and murdered. Hope this helps!
Exactly, she knew everything!
she’s definitely a watcher
A woman who is the victim of a sexual assault is defending a man who allegedly sexually assaulted her daughter??? What kind of mother is she??
she was probably using Maddie's abuse story for herself on a disability claim.
I think she thought as Maddie got older she seen Maddie as her competition. The Woody Allen comment she makes and Maddie telling her friends that her mom was going to kick her out at 18yrs old, is why I think that.
She acts like he has manipulated and controlled her for years. She is very codependent, and just can’t believe he did this.
Could it be possible she lied about her assault?… in don’t wanna assume that, but like, she should have had a violent reaction to that information.
I know Stephen groomed her, so maybe that’s why it’s shock and just denial…. Idk.
Jennifer complained she didn’t want to press charges, because she seemed to question whether anyone could prove it was Stephen in the photos, was something she questioned/asked. She seems far too casual, as a response to finding out her 11-year-old to 13-year-old daughter, or possibly earlier than 11-year-old, was routinely sexually abused by her previous boyfriend.
What type of society allows this extent of sexual assault to occur against under age, girls, and such close proximity of public school, psychiatrist treating the child, parents, close relatives, friends, and schoolmates or teachers. And no one asks any questions or has a close enough relationship with the child or conversations about stranger danger, that the child can communicate extreme Traumatic molestation? Perhaps a society where priest pedophiles are a frequency.
So let me get this straight. Jenn is on disability due to PTSD that resulted from an SA incident with a man during a date. She was an adult with an adult vocabulary, ability to express herself and understanding of the event. Apparently she was so traumatized that she was never again to return to the workforce in any consistent meaningful way. Yet she has the audacity to describe what happened to her daughter, a child as “not evil”. She appeared to feel bad for SS if she “decided” to press charges. Stunning in her lack of care or regard for this poor little girl. After finding out, she reached out to SS father to suggest he retained a lawyer. The focus went immediately to Stephen, whose importance superseded her own daughter in every way conceivable. I’m stupefied by the negligence.
bTW-What mother worries about her sleep when her child is missing. She appears more and more guilty with every interview. She can get all the sleep she wants in her prison cell.
And, her daughter's abuse is described by her as mere "sexual relations" - something very wrong
She’s a selfish mom that only thinks about herself.
This is _not_ a mother that just found out her daughter has been s*xually ab*sed.. I'm so sorry sweet Maddie, I hope your mother gets held accountable❤🙏
She sounds like some mothers who have their own sa history and never did any healing. They tend to gravitate toward perps and continue the generational abuse. Jen's mom seemed very disconnected to her own emotions with regards to missing Maddy.
The fact that she left this interview and texted Stephen “get a lawyer” is absolutely sickening
Seriously? I haven’t watched the whole thing yet
She didn’t. She was shown pictures EARLIER and texted Stephan’s father that Stephan made mistakes and get him a lawyer now!
She’s confronted in this interview about how she wanted to protect Stephan after seeing he raped her daughter
@@heartsmyfaceforever8140 no the detectives in later interviews confront her over and over with the text she sent Stephan that told him directly to get a lawyer they had the text she sent to him she on top of that talk to both her ex husband and Chris Sterns about getting Stephan a lawyer they confront her with all this
@@nursejones2 the Video interview shows the detectives repeatedly asking her why she texted him to get a lawyer
@@heartsmyfaceforever8140 this video is not the tape. I don’t know why she did that. I don’t know why she put this video on for the tape. The tape is audio Only. this video is from March 1. This tape is from February 28. I’ve no clue why she did that she’s confusing people doesn’t make any sense.
When said she is a watcher my stomach turned. And the detective asked her what she meant.
Omg i caught that too! Both of them speak in code, as if dangling it in front of our faces but disguising what and how things happened!!😮 its insane to meeeeee that Jenn hasn’t been arrested, i hope the police dept / DA have a good card up their sleeves.
Just like the recurring “killing time” and “she didn’t make it”…
This is so weird. They literally show tell her they have photos of her child with that monster and she does nothing. She barely says a word about it and just continues a normal conversation. It’s so wild.
No matter how many times she denies her guilt, this indicates to me she had knowledge of the abuse prior to everything coming out. How could a mother come to acceptance of something so vile? She comes off as she's processed it and can some how accept that part but not the part where he murdered her? This is more than being in denial or having mental issues. I believe she absolutely knew what was going on and refuses to admit her involvement😡😡😤😭
She asked to see more evidence! Who does that!
@@sbcc3415 agreed - she's is smart enough to know that if she admits anything she would have to accept her guilt in the matter; so, she denies everything.
Unrealllllll!! Smh
idk Ive seen denial in action, when the person doesnt want it to be true or cant handle the truth, it can be pretty extreme to the extent that you think the person must be mental. The way she admits that she still cant believe it after seeing the photo convinces me that her brains practiced in it (and slow on the pick up). I believed her here. Shes doped up tf on meds (I wonder if she started on the meds before or after he started abusing her daughter, hm). That said I cant believe there wasnt a time that she knew, before she lost her mind to meds and denial so, for that and being mean to her daughter I wouldnt cry if she sees time but I dont think she will. Shes effed anyway.
She stated SS and M had only been spending the night in the same room five times. Yet there are thousands of photos and videos that say differently.
I can’t with this woman. So selfish. The only thing she cares about about is her meds and sleep. That’s it. I don’t get why she continues to lie even with immunity.
She has immunity?!
If she's bipolar, that might explain an inconsistant sleep pattern. She sounds very coherant during interview.
@@hiddenhand6973No she doesn't. That seems to be a common misconception. They did ONE interview at one point and they said they could not use anything she said during that one interview against her.
@@kate_is_great oh good, thank you
No immunity spirit says in near future she will face charges 🙏 plus Jesus knows the whole truth and she can't hide anything from him
Anytime she begins to answer a question with "I'm gonna say " or "honestly "....she's straight up LYING
And the deep breath and pause …
sometimes she literally says "I wanna say..." I want to, but, its not true is the reality
If her lips are moving, she's lying.
THIS!!!
I believe you are correct. JENNIFER is using qualifiers to stall for time like she needs to think of a lie.
In all her interviews, she hasn't said anything nice about Maddie...she has said much to say about Stephan, defending him...
Poor Maddie...
Exactly 🤬 She act like she takes about a stranger.
I have never hated a stranger so much! She KNEW! She is distancing herself from her CHILD, she REFUSES to say MADDIE, but she’ll say “her” or “the body.”
It’s no wonder the poor child allegedly said she wanted to go live in the woods to a friend. Poor baby.
I have a relative who kept her kids as spite from people who cared about them and would’ve taken great care of them. She abused them horribly and let others do it. This seems to be the same here. You know these women don’t make good choices and spite the ones who would.
@@laffytaffy2916me too
2:04:23 she couldn’t look for Maddie because she had to take her damn meds and sleep.. I hate this lady
right!!?? what mother would even be able to sleep??
Quote from Jen after knowing Stephan has been abusing and assaulting her own daughter. " I don't think Stephan would do nothing to hurt Maddie." Mam, he's been ABUSING your damn daughter for year's, what do you mean?! I'm sorry, but she is either ignorant as hell or/and complicit with his behavior. I would be furious after learning this , she shows NO emotion. She's actually taking up for him. Put her in damn cuffs. I can't stand this awful excuse of a mother !!! No excuses.......
I'm with you. I'm really just kinda lost here watching her. I can't imagine the world in which I would react like this or even understand another mother reacting like this under these circumstances. This is insane. The only excuse for what we are listening to here is an IQ under 20. I try never to judge others ever especially when I don't have all of the facts but WTF kind of fkery are we listening to? Even more disturbing is toward the end of the audio the detective is asking her questions that lead me to believe there may be a possibility that the authorities were considering the possibility of an additional perpetrator and/or potentially secondary locations or more. I pray that Madeline was at least spared from any other or additional predators. Poor sweet Maddie. I wish they would stop saying that Maddie and that demon were having a "relationship". Well indeed they did a classic predator/victim relationship.
@@Princessbtrcup39 right, Agree with you 💯
If you notice, after she has seen the evidence she refers to it as sexual relations. She does not see it as abuse, assault or that other word YT does not like. She should never be in charge of a child if she does not know the difference
I bet in her head she was blaming Maddy for the SA cause in her eyes Stephen can’t do no wrong. How the hell she’s freaking defending him even after seeing the pics?
I’m disappointed In Florida for not charging her…she is the reason her daughter is gone😢 We (mothers) protect our children…not serve them up to predators 😡
I agree 💯. They better charge her because if they don't it will cause more mothers to unalive their children knowingly, they can get away with it
I am not sure they have any evidence. Yes, you can see she is guilty but there is nothing factual
@@alia9087 she should at least be charged with felony child endangerment for allowing her child to share a bed ALONE with an adult man (who’s not her dad) … Jen Soto should absolutely never be permitted near any child-for the rest of her life!
@@p.siadoreyou9050 I agree
Someone who needs more convincing after seeing so much evidence has A LOT to hide.
Who sees a photo of their child being SAd then asks for more evidence because they don’t yet believe it 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ she knew damn well what she saw
My theory- she was trying to evaluate the evidence to see if she’s caught on camera or anything. She probably told ss “can’t risk Maddie sleeping in my bed anymore “ cuz things were happening with Jen in the bed (remember they all three slept in bed together) and she didn’t want to be caught on camera
I believe he will fess up to her part eventually.
My daughter is 30 years old and alive, and, I would not want to look at such a picture. I especially would not ask to see it again. That is not normal
She doesn't consider SA hurting her unbelievable 😮
In her sick mind she believes "Maddy wanted it" in my opinion..
@@wisewillow5731 it seems just like you said 🤬🤢
Exactly! Says it all..
Jen was abused maybe had stolkhom,, sees Maddie and ss in a “relationship” as a result ? Completely wrong but I would want an abused person to fiercely protect their own child but often the abused become abusers themselves. So maybe she watched or participated but we know for sure she’s complicit and ignorant .. I assume she gained money/drugs from it as well since csam was likely being sold by ss
IM SO DONE WITH THIS WOMAN..JEN SHOULD BE ALREADY IN JAIL
She should be UNDER IT!
Exactly🤬
IMO, she is a liar! 😡
She allowed her boyfriend to SLEEP with her daughter !!!!! What kind of monster is she!!! How could she not know he was going to rape her??? They are BOTH monsters!!! They both belong in jail !!!!
Her asking to see the pictures ain't sitting right with me 🫤
What the hell is wrong with this woman? She was told what the picture contained and still wanted to see it and even knowing the perv who had been abusing her daughter was the last to see her, she still refuses to believe he k@lled her and tells his dad to get him a lawyer? Poor Maddie.
Right sickening!! 😡🤬
Honestly I would need to see it with my own eyes
@lilyflower6511 I couldn't, the thoughts alone would be unbearable.
@@lilyflower6511 And then what?
I just want to throw up. She didn't give a sh*t about her daughter. 🤬
Sorry Not Sorry but I still believe Jen knew more than they think or are saying. She should be right with Stephan in jail. Both are trash 🗑️
So, after they let her know her daughter was being abused by Stephan … she says “ I don’t think anyone I know would hurt her “ implying that the SA wasn’t painful for Madeline? That was absolutely hurting her.
Just her reaction to finding out her daughters been molested is what makes me think. She knew the whole time. She’s not even emotionally upset by this news.
Not even one year shed!! It's disgusting and Unbelievable
@@lorenafromla2459she’s a watcher let that sink in
Worst mother ever.
What a waste of space! She needs to be charged! Ultimately, it's her fault that maddie was used and abused and removed from this world. Falls back 100% on her!

I agree here!
Well LE doesn’t agree and that’s what counts hence why she is a free woman
@@jenreilly8058 ok Karen. Morally she needs to be locked up. Duh. And just cuz she sux at life 🤷

She told his father to get him a lawyer she didn’t get him one
But she did get herself one 😂
I'm honestly wondering how long he messed with their meds, she's in a fog at first, but her mind seems to finally absorb what's happening. And she was afraid of they kept focusing on Stearns and Maddie was alive they would stop looking that's why she wanted him to have a lawyer??? Idk
@@mypeeps333Her father paid for hers
@@debbievalentine6810 well he didn't live there from December through February
@@sbcc3415 as you listen to these interviews he was lying to his father about where he was going and coming to visit them multiple times. But she wouldn't need to be drugged when he wasn't there
She's almost too much for me to psychologically deduce. It's one of the worst cases of dangerous and damaging mental afflictions, that I've ever seen. It's so far beyond arrested development, that I'm wondering if she's not genetically, mentally impaired or disabled? And NO- ADD doesn't count. So sick of those two and their addaddaddadd focus. I mean, she doesn't even have the AFFECT of a 13 yo girl... she literally lives, thinks like, and has the emotional mentality of someone 10-13, imo.
It's clear that she knew wrong things were going on. To what extent, i don't know yet. However, the fact that she KNEW ENOUGH TO EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE WOODY ALLEN incidents of abusive behaviors, and that she flat out stated that she didn't want the same thing to happen to she and her daughter, proves that intentionally, repeatedly, offered up her daughter to stephan to abuse.
She can't feign ignorance, when she KNEW things like that happen in the world, she KNEW of a specific incident when that happened w woody allen, and she STATED that she was afraid of that happening. And she decided to be neglectful, and turn the other way, because she wanted to chase deep sleep every single day, as often as she could. Her life was wake, work, go hime to her bedroom, med up, eat in there then zone out. I'd be surprised if she was ever up for more than an hour, max, each time she returned home from work. Stephan was her live-in nanny, and stephan made jenn feel like a normal woman, w more protection, help, and a partner to help her w everyyyyyyything, than just doing it all by herself. They'll slap her w felonious child neglect, w depraved indifference... maybe some perjury. She'll see jail time, and maybe even a murder charge, but i doubt it. The other stuff, alone, will put her away for many, many, many years. Maybe she can grow up, and get a clue in prison.
Jen barely even worked. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe she worked since at least 2020 to a week (few days?) before Maddie was unalived. She states herself that other than doctors appointments that her and Maddie had, she was always home. And I'll make a bet that most, if not all of those doctor appointments were when Maddie was in school. She also stated she would pick Maddie up from school (although in other interviews said her family sometimes did too).
Which leads me to wonder, how often did SS pick up Maddie from school? She originally said he took her a few times and commented about how Maddie was always embarrassed by his car, then in the immunity interview admitted she can't remember if he ever took her to school before (note how her voice gets softer/lower when confessing to a lie). If he also never picked her up then that is another major ding towards her/their lies. Why even lie about how often he took her anyway? And to even go so far as to mention Maddie's embarrassment of his car would show knowing and premeditation to lie.
One more thing, she mentions how while Maddie was at school she'd nap. So I'm really interested in knowing time stamps and locations of all of the photos SS took. Would she really be napping again after Maddie got home? In which case, someone remind me again why Jen didn't let her stay with her Mom? She claims bc she wanted to see Maddie, yet wouldn't see her in the morning bc she wanted SS to take her to school and wouldn't see her in the evening because she had work. Besides all of that, Jen only was working a couple of days a week. So why bring him up from hours away for a couple days a week? She could have sent Maddie to her Grandmother's for those couple of days.
There's just still so much that doesn't make sense and is so fishy.
You know I seriously think she killed her daughter. I think her loser bf was messing around with her CHILD and like you said she has the mentality of a 10-13 year old, she was jealous and killed her . The more I watch this I see with different eyes .
Why does she keep mentioning the press conf ? She’s paranoid! She’s the one in that grainy video ! SS’s father and mother said it in their interviews .
She wants to see more of the evidence so she can validate her own sick reasoning.
They both belong behind bars forever ! IMO
In my opinion as a Mother of four adults this woman is evil and deserves a long prison sentence for sure .
So she was told there were severely graphic photos of her daughter and him and yet she still offered a lawyer. I hope she rots in prison.
Well you should always request a lawyer, no matter the circumstances.
She could only request a lawyer, pretty sure Jenifer could not pay to even consult with a lawyer.. the last consult I paid for was 400 back during Covid
Jenn texted Chris that he needed to get a lawyer. Yes, people have a right to a lawyer, but I would not have sent Chris that message. Instead, I would have messaged, “You better hope your r*pist son NEVER gets out of prison…”
It's Fine, he would hurt her 🤬 It has Nothing to do with this case.
WTF
She wants HIM to get a lawyer because she knows she needs one next!!!!
Jesus lady! He threw away her book bag, laptop and she was slumped over in the passenger seat. Then he stuffed her in trunk!
Omg. This woman! She knows the sexual stuff happened but is convinced that he didn't do anything to hurt her or make her disappear??? W lthe actual F???
Lock her ass up.
Detective: ‘Did you go with him (SS) anywhere to look (for Maddie)?
JS: I stayed home to take my meds to go to sleep.
This is one of those cases that get under my skin. That poor child was failed by everyone. And her "mother" served her up to a predator. It also scares me that creeps like thess two somehow infiltrated Disney as employees.
This sad excuse for a mother needs to be put under the jail
In my opinion the reason she doesn't react to those pictures like a real mother would is because she knew.
No one will convince me otherwise!
She needs to be behind bars.
They kill me saying they "were involved in a relationship" ummm no THEY weren't! She was being abused by him! There's a huge difference!
They described it as it was. Yes, she was groomed, assaulted, r*ped, etc. but to maddie, at times it seemed by the evidence they had that she felt that they were in a relationship, they were in love.
I was groomed at a young age and i remember feeling that puppy love for my adult abuser.
Also, they are describing this in every possible way they can in an attempt to get a reaction out of her. And it eventually worked. The only time she showed any devastation was when it hit her that she was being cheated on. And it seemed she was upset about the general cheating.. not even about the fact that he assaulted her baby while doing it.
As frustrating her immunity deal is, I do like these detectives. They have done quite well.
@@maxssister1985 I didn't say they weren't good. But it wasn't a relationship. That's my point.
I think they are saying that on purpose to see if she normalizes it.
@@PlAiNJaNe521 It's a tactic, for sure. These are police investigators with likely a long history of doing this work. They know it's a crime and know it's f*cked up. But note how JS just keeps glossing over the SA or even them being in a "relationship". No outbursts like "he was R wording my daughter, that's not a relationship!". Nothing like that or any outbursts at all. Yet another interview that makes me unable to help but to think she knew or at least highlyyy suspected (ie Woody Allen comment).
How can Jennifer says she suffers from PTSD after being…by the man who gave her a job interview but then she acts nonchalant and advises Stephan to get a lawyer after seeing the photos of Maddie being….! Like is this lady serious???? Lock her up!
I just don’t understand how they can say she’s not being prosecuted but in every single interview the officers can obviously tell she’s lying and even calls her out every time! How is this woman free??
And..they sound very suspicious of her..
Absolutely beyond a doubt!! I think she’ll be charged after they finish with SS!!! I’m thinking Jen must be the states key witness!!
She is just unbelievable! She’s glossing over the videos and photos as if they’re just happy family photos. She’s just all for that monster. Wake up woman ! You’re as much to blame as he is.
Come on you don’t know anything about sending your precious daughter to your ex bf bed while you freaking get a good nights sleep girl you barely work try being a house manager and cleaning a mansion and having a cleaning business and a nanny I protect all kids your a poor excuse for a mom 😮poor Maddie had no one to help her I’m in tears 😭 along with the rest of everyone in here that has a heart ❤️ and are decent ppl
Not a tear in sight! This world is going crazy.
Because we are at the fineto line-people can see that something is wrong here but they don’t know what it is or what is happening. The Bible is unfolding right before our eyes. That last chapter is getting ready to play out.
This Mother actually thinks her daughter was sleeping with this man. OMG SHE'S SICK
Sterns and Soto team here have absolutely destroyed the words snuggle and cuddle and made my skin crawl with the terms.
And “sleepy”.
She's obsessed with her daughter's molester/killer. She should be charged with something 😢
Plunder you are first amongst the best.
I sometimes can't wrap my head around this. Insane
No, this woman knew, allowed it, and received "rent" in exchange. IMO.
I cant comprehend how someone can stay this calm. I cannot
Exactly!
I tried for months to give Jenn the benefit of the doubt....but if someone showed me pictures of my missing child being assaulted by anyone, let alone a friend and partner of five years, I'd be hysterical and baying for his blood, not wondering if I should bring charges against him.
One of my own sons ran away several times as a troubled teenager....I couldn't sleep and was crying and vomiting in distress , in absolute Hell. Jenn Soto seems more bothered by the prospect of her child's rap*St being jailed than her child being missing possibly murdered. It's insane.
Thanks for uploading the interviews and your continued ethical coverage of the case, I love this channel.
And lastly of things I noticed.... I can't find the time stamp.... but even AFTER seeing the photo[s]..... Jenn asks "can I choose to not press charges and possibly change my mind later?"
WHAT MOTHER WOULD EVEN ASK THIS?!?! bless maddie in heaven. She was failed from the start smh!!
I’m surprised the detectives can sit in the room with her. I have to take my meds and go to sleep over and over and over. I can’t stand her.
@@Cdghda I am SO GLAD they did not treat her as nice as [let's say nichol kessinger].... granted her high ranking dad was in the room.... I live in orlando and I'm so glad they did not play into ANY of jenns antics.... now just hoping she gets charged. There's zero way she didn't know.... especially if he didn't live there often....as she claims.... smh and it's "your boyfriend " but haven't been intimate in 2 years?... then let him sleep in a bed with your daughter??
When we visit family 5 min away, i don't even let my kids in any rooms I can't see them. She needs at least NEGLECT charges.
@@Cdghda also makes me sick any questions about stephan individually or LITERALLY ANYTHING other than those days of the events.... she's so matter of fact.... she can give times, detailed convos...ect... but anything with him and maddie.... *quiet voice* "idk.....I'm not sure....I don't recall"..... without being vulgar.... I'll just say..... I hope she gets punished also.
She actually thought it would be her decision whether to press charges or not!?! And she didn't know whether or not she wanted to press charges! What is wrong with her?!
Those detectives sure do have a lot of restraint. I'd be yelling at her.
At the very minimal, child endangerment! This lady is infuriating 🤬
Did they interview Jenn’s mom & sister? I want to know why they wouldn’t allow him at Maddie’s b-day party or their home.
It’s called mothers instinct. Unfortunately she didn’t have enough of it to see how jacked up her daughter was to save her own granddaughter.
Omg. Omg. Did she just say that Maddie and SS had a sexual relationship???? No no no. He SA her. She makes it like her little daughter wanted it?!?!? I gotta take a break after that. That's infuriating!!!!
Same...it is so upsetting
I just cannot believe she defended this POS...I just can't. Poor Maddie. 😢 She deserved better!
The ‘WOODY ALLEN’ Comment 🔴
End of debate 🤷♀️
HORRIFIC 😡😡😡😡😡 Jen Soto can only think about Stephen Sterns!!!! and not her young daughter!!!! Jen Soto makes me sick to my stomach💯💯💯💯 please arrest her, put her behind bars. She’s a horrible mother who did not love her daughter.😡😡😡😡😡
“What’s the motive” I cannot be convinced she didn’t know what was happening. She’s trying to outsmart the detective. He caught it.
Funny she had a ton of questions while they were questioning her but then asked do you have any questions? She says no none I can think of . ....ugh I keep watching all her interviews over n over she knows something. It's so frustrating. Thank you for hard work on all your uploads I enjoy them with your commentary as well. JUSTICE FOR MADDIE!
When my ex was found to have moles**d my daughter, I was automatically charged with neglect in the state of California in the 80’s. I had anonymously reported him previously and also had taken my daughter to a therapist to address my suspicion that she was being abused. The charges were dropped against me. I was told by the attorney that the charges were automatic because many mothers do know about that type of abuse and do nothing. She definitely should be charged with neglect at the very least.
So sorry to hear this..I hope your baby is doing okay now ❤❤❤❤
@@OpalineAndTheBean she has struggled, but is a 49 year old survivor and truly amazing woman. Thank you so much.
I am so sorry that happened to your daughter.
@@stephanielake71 thank you 🙏
Js contradicts herself when she says "I believe you when you talk to me about those images" followed by "those images MIGHT be real." Detective asks her, "do you think he would ever hurt maddie?" and js replies, "no I don't think he would. No." This is AFTER seeing the photos. The SA didn't bother her because she knew. She's only shocked because she thought resetting the phone would erase the photos. Cops say he factory reset his phone twice in one day. I wish the cops showed her all the most graphic photos not just a close up of the perv!
To me Jen is one cold fish. Her actions, her behavior, her attitude, her vocabulary is all saying she knew what was happening with her daughter, she doesn’t even act ashamed of what SS did to her daughter, she knew her daughter was not part of this earth anymore as well. She should be behind bars the rest of her life. She can sleep in a cell all she wants. Just an opinion!
She’s not even hysterical about her daughter possibly being dead. This so-called mother does not even care. Jen Soto cares more about Steven Sterns than her own child and I believe in my opinion that Jen Soto knew what was going on with her daughter and Stephen sickening. Just sickening, I hope they rest her and put her in prison😡😡👿😡👿😡👿
In her words she's 'a watcher"🤔🤔🤔
She doesn't seem to have any emotional or loving connection with Maddie. She does seem to think if she acts innocent and dumb that she can get away with being a co-conspirator without any charges against her. I hope that isn't the case.
If you listen to some of her replies about what they used to do etc, I think she was the boss in that relationship. She is playing dumb. In one interview when the detective picks her up on defending SS she then changes to saying how horrid he is. She knows just what she is doing
@alia9087 I think you're correct. She doesn't seem stupid. She's protecting herself, in my opinion.
Poor little girl never had a chance with these monsters🤬 listening to her say “but” after seeing proof of her daughter being abused makes me wanna reach out and serve justice my damn self. Demonic at its best ..she’s the same monster as Stephan 😩
Agreed!
How she said where "they" could be in reference to MS and SS, and then the woody Allen comment, she knew the two of them were too close for comfort and she allowed it. No mother or person could ever be so blind
Right, and she said "I have a rule where they can't sleep together alone". Umm whaat
What a liar. She changes the frequency of the upstairs sleeping arrangements. How could so many pictures of sexual abuse have occurred if there were so few opportunities?
With ALL those incidents where and when could there have been time?
We will find out at Trial Hopefully.
They’ll catch her bc they’ll gather the time of him taking the pics of SA & compare where she was by her phone!
@@kimlarsoyes they did that. They “combed” through the evidence and said she’s not involved.They check her phone, his phone , gps , her whole life but she was telling the truth. This interview is Feb if they were gonna arrest her it would have already happened
@@jenreilly8058it happened in her home, for years, while she was home. SS had a lot of alone time with Maddie, a lot of private access to her. No excuse for this, NONE. Jenn prioritized SS and continued to do so while Maddie was missing and then found. I get that since there’s no paper trail or electronic footprint that she won’t be arrested but it does not mean she did nothing wrong.
Horrible mom 😢. She dosen't care her daughter was touched 😢
I hesitated liking the video because I was so disgusted by her. Thanks for sharing Plunder.
You’re not liking it for the actual content you’re liking it to push plunder into the algorithm and to be shown to more viewers so always like the videos of content creators you enjoy so their channels can grow
@@jaggybee4704 I understand that.
She didn’t even act upset when she found out about the sexual abuse and the pictures! I feel like she felt like she was in competition with her child daughter. 😢
💯
Bingo!
I think she offered her daughter as she had decided she didn't want to partake. It was so she could keep him around. Another sad woman who cannot live without a man in her life
She seems to totally disregard that her daughter was SAd! And abused for a long while.
She's saying, "we're waiting for him to move back down here," like he's gonna get out, and they are still going to be together if he gets out. She's gross
Can’t u see she’s in denial about everything. She starts coming to terms with it and it’s sad
@@jenreilly8058 She didn't start even remotely "coming to terms with it" until the investigator got "mean" and grilled her. Which does not scream coming to terms with it. It screams I'm crying because I'm being called out for being a sh**ty Mom!
@@jenreilly8058 Or are you referring to her crying because she was asked if her birthday was tomorrow and "it's the worst birthday ever"? Or is it when she cried when reminded Stephan cheated on her? Because the tears for straight Maddie have been little to none.
@@LilyPedals did u see when they interviewed SS’s dad and he tried to implicate Jenn and the LE said she won’t be getting arrested because she did nothing wrong, and he was like oh,, that told me she had no knowledge along with other things
@@jenreilly8058you’re sick
How can she talk so calmly without any care when she was just told about the SA of her daughter. It’s as if she just forgets about it without emotion and goes on to talk about her day.
How calmly she asked "am I going to see her face" 🤢
She wanted to see a picture of Stephan's face actually abusing Maddie, if it was on someone else's phone then she would be relieved that it wasn't Stephan
She says she didnt know. Well she knows now and shes still sticking up for that POS. what is wrong with her??? Im just flabbergasted over her whole attitude and demeanor. Unbelievable. Poor Maddie. My heart breaks for that little girl. Her mother is a monster who handed her over to another monster. I just can't......
I’m so disgusted with this so call lady, she is a freaking sociopath. How can she even contemplate on pressing charges? I CAN NOTTT. Please lock her up already!
Right “can I change my mind later”! WTF
Particularly after listening to this interview release, I have been wondering if she is a true sociopath or has any sociopathic traits.
@@ShelleyC74 righttt.. that’s insane !
@@Lesaly yes I agree
Thank you @PLUNDERTruecrime you freaking rock! You are hands down my favorite! And you bring the Lord into these dark topics, hallelujah! Thank you for the hard work and praise Jesus!
She is checked out. Wanted the relationship with the pervert so badly that she sacrificed her daughter & ignored the signs. Jennifer is so wrapped in herself & her needs that she handed her child over to SA
the moment he tells her what did they tell u ,she says i found out they were sexually active wtf !!!!!! she avoids making him look bad ,,,sexually active he was rapping her and abusing her !!!!!!! why does they devil seem to protect him throw her in prison !!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for all your hard work
And with no commentary - the other YTers will be with commentary rn. I just want to hear the plain audio myself first
Who she kidding. He wasn’t qualified to be a construction manager. That’s a grueling job. Sterns isn’t a full grown mature man. My son-in-law is a construction manager and it takes a long job of experience. She lies for him to look better than he is. She’s lying so much.
i am infuriated and disgusted by this woman. many thanks to Miss Paula and Eric for this coverage
Thank you plunder for all your hard work 🙏🏽
Stephan can’t change a tire without injury and his dad offers him a construction manager job the dude propably don’t know how to use any tools not even a hammer
He's a real serious "Failure to Launch!"
Well I think we figured out why he was not suitable for any leadership positions. He's a complete freak show.
I think they will find his skin under Maddies nails = Those are scratches IMO
He got that as a job offer? How lucky can he be , or was, to I’m trying to say he took a lot for granted
But he played Warhammer or some sht, that is all the tools he was familiar with. 🙄
Blows my mind how she just glosses over “I know the sex acts happened”. I would’ve been enraged, horrified to learn that. “Not only is my daughter missing, she was being abused right under my nose by this person I trusted”. She knew, she had to know!
Exactly, she didn't care 🤬
30,000 + pictures on his phone and she only sent them off to sleep in a room together 5 or 6 times their whole relationship? You are not telling the truth ma’am!
💯💯💯💯💯
Sooooo true
The photos on his phone were not all of Madeline. He had downloads from the dark web. It will be concluded that she knew nothing. She certainly made some strange decisions, Too many prescription drugs. Hatred and angry needs to be directed at Sterns.
She needs to be jailed for child endangerment
At the very least
She is absent from reality. Does she hear herself?
She just cant act out "suprise"..
It’s an act -thinks it will get her out of charges….and so far it’s working because she hasn’t been arrested
"We all snuggle together in bed" a Brothel! Like What the F*** !!!!
With Maddie in the middle! At least jen could have put Maddie on the other side of her away from stef. What mother would sleep with her daughter and boyfriend with her daughter next to her boyfriend!?Then send them off to sleep together so she could get "good sleep". I can't comprehend!
This lady basically gave her daughter out to this man like she was nothing. This poor child had no one to protect her. Children deserve better and her daughter deserved way better. It’s scary how many people are like her … so called mothers. She has no care for her own daughter. Only the sick and twisted guy she allowed to molest and ultimately murder her own daughter.
This person needs to be charged because she was the person who was supposed to protect Maddie
It’s not a big leap in my mind that if he was capable of sexually assaulting her child that he might be capable of murdering her child. Why does she not see that she can be so wrong about his involvement in Maddie’s disappearance? Her lack of emotion boggles my mind. Is she just dumb?
I really think she was ready for her big one. Like she was gonna be the new poster mom for missing children.
She' in CYA mode here.
Oh but she could be sure that he is not the one who eliminated Maddie. In case she did it herself.
The reaction to finding out he was SAing Maddie in every way imaginable is ridiculously subdued. I would go in full on panic mode. “If there were any signs, I didn’t see any.”- what?!! Her instinct is to defend herself.
Shes lying about the sleeping arrangements, she let her daughter go upstairs with him all the time, can’t wait until the trial and listen to Stephan’s story, since he made the comment to his father I didn’t start it
have a feeling that this trial is going to be HUGE.
He sure did finish it though! Poor Maddie 😢
I understand a lot of ppl took that as defecting to Jen starting it, but I took it as him alluding that Maddie initiated or flirted - a common illogical response from Prevs
Any cameras IN the house???? Why yes, in #4 bedroom so csam could be made.
I’m thinking Stephan “confessed” to Jen that Maddie CAME ON TO HIM and he succumbed to Maddie’s enticement. That’s exactly what child molesters say. I think that’s why Jen talked about Woody Allen and wrote the cryptic message “she couldn’t take the chance because Maddie was still sleeping with her”. I don’t know what the message means but I think it’s connected to Jen’s knowledge of the abuse.
Very possible 👍
I believe you’re correct Catherine Grace. Jennifer somehow does not seem surprised at these photos. She was shown, but it feels like she’s faking shock and at the same time just defending her boyfriend to the end. That’s why she could see these photos and still leave this interview and insist That Stephan’s dad get him a lawyer ASAP
