This call is a turning point. Stephan Sterns tells his parents that he didn’t realize Madeline Soto had died until hours after it happened. He speaks about discovering her cold body with an alarming lack of emotion. He blames being “up and down” during the night, leaving the room, wandering around, and never checking on her until it was far too late.

His father quietly presses for details, trying to understand how something so horrifying could happen without Stephan noticing. The responses are murky, defensive, and incomplete. Stephan paints himself as a witness to tragedy — not a participant. But the facts suggest otherwise.

This call is when the veil starts to lift. The cracks in Stephan’s version of events begin to show. The weight of Madeline Soto’s murder finally begins to press down on his family.
