Dark Secrets: Justice for Madeline Soto

Crime Salad

In Orlando, Florida, on February 26, 2024, 13-year-old Madeline Soto vanished without a trace on her way to school. Her mother's boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, was the last person to see her, claiming he dropped her off near the school. When her mother, Jenn, arrived early to pick her up that afternoon, Madeline never came out. Calls to friends and teachers revealed she hadn't been at school all day. Now, the question remains: What happened to Madeline on her way to school that morning?
