Crime Roundup with Nancy Grace: Patterns of Negligence and Abuse, Maddie Soto Case

Today, Nancy and Sheryl discuss the heart-wrenching case of Madeline Soto.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said Madeline’s body was found off Hickory Tree Road at about 4:30 p.m. on March 1. Police found the body after someone called in a tip, following a press conference.

The discovery was in the area where her mother’s boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, had been spotted earlier in the week when he stopped to change a tire, police said.

Sterns claimed that he dropped Madeline off at school the day she vanished, but Orange County Sheriff John Mina said that wasn’t true and that “she was already dead at the time and that Stephan Sterns moved her body in the early morning hours on that day.

Sheryl and Nancy dissect critical aspects of the investigation, from the disturbing behavior of the suspect, to the patterns of negligence and abuse within Maddie’s household. They also focus on the importance of recognizing red flags and patterns in such cases, and the role of evidence in bringing justice.
