  • Jennifer Soto Interview WITH IMMUNITY
    Sep 12 2024
    In April 2024, new evidence was released in the Madeline Soto case, specifically an interview with Jennifer Soto, Madeline's mother. The interview took place on April 18, 2024, at the state attorney’s office. This interview occurred after Madeline’s body was discovered on March 1st, 2024. At that time, while Stefan Stern had been charged with 60 counts of crimes, no one had yet been charged with Madeline's death. However, six days after Jennifer Soto’s interview, Stefan was charged with first-degree murder in Madeline's death and now faces the death penalty.

    Key details from the interview indicate that Jennifer was present with her attorney due to an investigative subpoena, which compelled her to attend. She was also granted derivative use immunity, which means that while the statements made in her interview cannot be used against her in court, she could still face prosecution if other evidence of a crime is discovered. Importantly, this immunity is not total, and Jennifer could still be charged if other independent evidence arises. As of the time of the interview, Jennifer Soto had not faced any charges.

  • How Did Jen Soto NOT See The Signs Of Maddie Soto's Abuse At The Hands Of Stephan Sterns?
    Sep 10 2024
    On the "Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski" podcast, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss the tragic case of Madeline Soto, a 13-year-old girl from Florida who was allegedly murdered by Stephan Sterns, her mother Jennifer Soto’s on-again, off-again boyfriend. The conversation explores the disturbing details of Madeline's life, marked by grooming, molestation, and abuse by Sterns, which Jennifer seemed to ignore or downplay. Scott suggests that Jennifer’s possible bipolar 1 disorder, combined with a lack of awareness or intelligence, might have contributed to her inability to grasp the severity of the situation. They discuss the troubling normalization of abuse in some families and how generational trauma might have affected Jennifer's reactions to her daughter’s abuse. The podcast also touches on the responses of Sterns’ parents, who seem to acknowledge his deep-seated problems, suggesting a pattern of long-standing issues. The episode highlights the need for better recognition and intervention in cases of familial abuse and raises important questions about accountability and mental health.
