Could a legal technicality allow an alleged child predator and murderer to walk free? That’s the chilling question in the case of Stephan Sterns, accused of murdering 13-year-old Maddie Soto and facing 60 additional child sex crime charges. With prosecutors seeking the death penalty, the defense is scrambling to suppress critical evidence—including damning cell phone data—arguing that law enforcement overstepped legal boundaries. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins to dissect the courtroom battle. Did investigators make a fatal mistake by skipping a warrant, or will the severity of the alleged crimes overshadow any procedural missteps? And then there's Maddie’s mother, Jen Soto—who once defended Sterns but now calls him a “master liar.” Was she just another one of his victims, or is she trying to protect herself from potential charges? And the most disturbing twist yet—another person in Maddie’s life, a teacher, has now been charged with child sex crimes. Is this a horrifying coincidence, or are we looking at a much larger and more sinister web of predators? #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #JusticeForMaddie #LegalLoopholes #ChildPredators #CrimeInvestigation #DarkTruth
