    I think he drugged her for his “time” with her. Might explain why none of her friends or anyone around her had any real suspicions about Stephan because she didn’t remember it. He hadn’t seen her in a while so I’m sure he was very excited to “see” her again and possibly she was OD’d and then he panicked and drove around with her deceased like you thought Grey for his alibi. I guess we will know at some point if she was strangled but I’d bet she has drugs in her system from him. He probably gave her Xanax, or something like that, which he probably had a prescription for or swiped from her own mom. God that poor little girl was absolutely abused by him for years it’s just awful to think about 💔🙏🏻

      One part of the 900 document stated that some of the pics/videos Maddie was awake, & some were of her asleep. He claimed he was taking Ativan during the period she was only “missing”. My bet is that he was drugging her, too.
      A teacher of hers said she had a lot of sleepy days, where she comes to class but puts her head down the entire period.

      Let the evidence speak for itself. If she did anything investigators will find out. You’d be pretty upset if you were arrested without sufficient evidence correct? This is why we need to allow the law to work as it’s intended to. They should never make arrests simply on a hunch. There needs to be substantial evidence.

    Id be a pretty big risk to have her in the car already dead,,,I mean what if he got pulled over for Anything,,even if he didn't actually break any traffic laws, cops, especially in Florida,can pull over anyone and claim they crossed the line, didn't stop all the way, has a break light out. And then there's a kid dead in the car?! I hope he ends up just flipping his plea and pleading guilty and just tells us what happened. We already know he had the pics and videos on his phone,he might as well tell the truth about the murder.

  • @deeannray5093

    Gray: Yes, I think you are 100% RIGHT about her being drugged first. That makes the most sense. AND, as far as the police or sheriff's dept. thinking she was already dead around 7:15 or so, they didn't HAVE the coroner's report yet, letting them know "time of death" or anything else at that point, when they held the press conference where they stated they thought she was already deceased around 7:00 a.m. or so. - Susan Burns

I know a girl that was sleeping with her mom boyfriend qnd ended up marrying him when she got older i know is sick but it happens at that age being inocent girls get taken advantage off easily and he might have used her fights wit mom to get closer 2 her hes disgusting and should face the death penalty for what he did and mom shame on her for not protecting her child

    At which moment did he throw away her backpack? She would not need them after that, so either it was premeditated, or he had finished her off before. How did Maddie feel about food? Was she likely to skip a meal? To me, Jennifer seems to be holding herself just above water, struggling to manage her mental illness. That can be a challenge.

    The strangest thing is her one white crock found still in the apartment, right next to what was likely her mom's white crocks right inside the front door. Just a size larger. I think it points to her passing in the apartment. Why else would she have 1 shoe? Which gets thrown away.

    Ascertaining time of death from the body isn't an exact science, not after days outside. If they are recently dead, things like liver temperature can be used, but once they cool to the ambient temperature of surroundings that becomes not much use. So they're looking at decomposition, insect activity act and circumstantial information (when last seen alive, travel of food through digestive system) to make an estimation. There's no way they could say based on autopsy findings alone that she died at 7.30 am or 4 hours before or after that I don't think, not given she lay exposed to the elements outside for days.

    I think the K9 report on page 55 confirms that she was alive while in his vehicle. No way he has a dead body in his vehicle for hours and the dog didn't alert on his vehicle. Which would mean it was premeditated.....she was drugged and he planned to kill her. The fact that the K9 alerted to remains on Jen's car, specifically the rear passenger wheel well,, makes me think that those two early morning trips he took in Jen's car were to the dump site. Beyond that, I shudder to think. Sick, sick monster.

    My guess is after the pills kicked in in night Stephan did his bad acts. She roused a bit and said she was telling. He then choked her back to sleep and she died. He panicked and got her out in am before Jen woke. I don’t think he knew she was dead till he woke up either. And I also think he ran back to the house when he “forgot his clicker” to clean up something left behind. Like probably the pills or something.

    I think maybe he drugged her too much so that he could assault her, so yes maybe she was still alive in the car, but he thought she had overdosed, so maybe he choked her so he wouldn't get in trouble for drugging and assaulting her. I would think something would come up about drugs in her system in the autopsy - haven't seen anything about that.

    Yea that car ride doesn’t make sense and that so called mother if you can call her that I feel set her own child up and that’s why she sent them to sleep together maybe what Iam thinking is that she heard that Stephen wanted to sleep with Maddie and in order to maybe have them around she agreed to let him sleep with her in the same bed and probably God knows do certain unappropriate stuff. So I get the feeling that her mom was in on the whole thing and knew exactly what was happening and what he was doing, maybe not murder her but everything else everything else she knew that she had consented to it so to me they both need to be charged in the murder of this poor young girl he’s a pig and a monster and I hope he rots in prison because he’s gonna have hell waiting for him for sureI really do hope that so-called mother of her gets her karma too, and gets sent to prison that poor girl did not deserve this at all.

    I'm not sure of his direction of travel when he had the flat tire but I've been thinking maybe he was headed to dump her body in the water. She was in the trunk at that time so he may have removed her and placed her in those trees to hide her while he changed the tire because someone, maybe a police officer, might stop to see if he needed help. He couldn't just put her out on the road and putting her back in the car would be risky. Then he may have decided to just leave her because he feared getting caught moving her back to the car. Maybe he thought about coming back late in the night but circumstances or being scared he was being watched didn't give him the opportunity to do so.

      The investigation is ongoing. The only way we (the public) know anything is down to certain documents, footage and audio being lodged and made available prior to trial . Wait until the court case as only then will all relevant evidence be laid out by the prodecution. It’s really too early to make wild claims when you know no more than anyone else, simply based on information you have read in the media. The mother may well be charged with something. Or it may be she’s a victim of this heinous man as well. Just because she hasn’t yet doesn’t mean she won’t. Charges will be brought if the evidence exists. Not because some anonymous person on the internet is desperate for it to happen. In the real world, these things take time and have to be investigated and evidence gathered. Having a feeling someone is a wrongun will not get far in court. You have to prove it.

    ADHD medication is usually one pill and it should be taken in the morning, first thing. Some medication for ADHD are dosed in two parts: one dose in the morning and one dose in the afternoon, approximately 3-5 hours after the morning dose. Maddie could also be taking Clonidine at night to help her sleep, which would be taken in the evening about an hour before bedtime. I’m obviously not a doctor, but I hope this personal knowledge helps.

Remember people would take that drud and walk around and not remember what they did. He prob over medicated her. I think he brought her out of that house and did the death in his car before he moved her body. I wonder if she didn't want anything to do with him anymore and mb even threatened to tell...or mb pregnant . But he had to get rid of her before going to school. So that is why I think she was going to tell her counselor or someone....Just my thoughts. Prayers for all victims of abuse.

    I think it would be more difficult if he had driven around with Madeline if she was awake because she must have thought, why is he not dropping me off at school, then they drive around, she might have felt scared or uneasy so if this was the case she would probably try to get out of the car, so I think it would be more plausible if she was drugged, maybe he somehow got a sedative and popped it in with her ADHD pills.

    Gray, thanks for sharing your expertise. I wish my brain worked like that! As usual, I agree with you. I'm undecided if Maddie was still alive during the time in question. I believe Jennifer didn't know anything about SA. Maybe she isn't too bright, has mental health issues or a drug problem. It's not lost on me that she hasn't been arrested. The tech evidence alone is enough for me to consider this a slam dunk against Sterns. I wonder what strategy would a defense attorney use to defend Sterns?

    Great job Gray. I have something to add about ADD meds, adderrall makes you very awake so you have to take it in the morning. My daughter was prescribed it at age 10, I have also taken it over the years. If you don’t take it early enough you will need sleep medication otherwise you will be up all night. It desperately interferes with eating and sleeping schedules. At 10 my daughter was also prescribed sleep meds. If I could go back in time I would have never have agreed to all of these meds as girls at this age are still growing of course and starting to develop and it also can interfere with menstrual function and schedule at these ages 10-13. Anyway just wanted to add my 2 cents. I think you make good points about the possibility Maddie could’ve been awake during this time but I still believe he killed her in the early morning hours after assaulting her.

Everybody is different. I’ve had to take meds for my adult ADD in the evening if I had a meeting or had trouble sleeping, too.

    I am a child victim survivor, of my stepfather. From age 3-14. The fact that Madeline was on medication for adhd, anxiety .....anything at all is infuriating. She was reactive to her environment. It caused her huge distress. To this day for me, im an insomniac from sleepless nights of anticipation of him coming in my room. I had those same dark curcles under my eyes. It's unfortunate that no one could read it right. I think Jenns family had some issues about him,they knew he was weird and didn't like him. He manipulated Jenn to believe him so she did. He was obsessed with Maddie. I think Jenn was often drugged up by him, so he could do things to Maddie. So if Jenns sister was dropping her off at home that night and Jenn was still at work, was it assumed she'd be alone until Jenn got home? Was Stephan invited to come watch Maddie during that time? Did he show up unannounced? Did Jenn know he was coming? Did Jenns family know he was going to be there with Maddie while Jenn worked? I bet they sensed things.
    That said, in my opinion , I think when Jenn said she saw her getting ready in the morning, she said it that way because maybe she knew her family would question why she wasn't up with Maddie getting ready and Stephan was there. Maybe they don't like him and she was covering that up, not realizing just how big this story would become. I think she thought she heard them, was drowsy and didn't get up to look so she assumed they were getting ready. Her lie was just that.
