In the episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" featuring guest Bob Motta, a defense attorney and host of "Defense Diaries," the tragic case of 13-year-old Maddie Soto is discussed. Below are the main points covered in their conversation:

Tragic Case Overview: Maddie Soto, a 13-year-old girl, was allegedly killed by her mother's partner, not her stepdad, with whom she lived in a small apartment. After Maddie went missing and was later found dead, evidence of sexual abuse by the mother's partner was discovered on his phone, indicating abuse had occurred over the last two years within their home.

Inconsistencies and Suspicions: The narratives provided by Maddie's mother, Jen Soto, and her partner are conflicting and raise suspicions. Bob Motta references similar high-profile cases to draw parallels, highlighting Jen's lack of emotion and inconsistent timelines.

Parental Reactions: Motta discusses typical reactions of parents who discover such abuse, noting that a typical response involves immediate protective actions, which were conspicuously absent in Maddie's case, suggesting atypical behavior from Maddie's mother.

Legal Perspectives and Challenges: The conversation delves into the complexities of legal proceedings in such cases, emphasizing the importance of evidence for prosecution. Motta explains that inconsistencies and suspicious behavior, while indicative of guilt, require concrete evidence to result in charges and convictions.

Ongoing Investigation and Speculation: As of the podcast's airing, Jen Soto had not been charged or publicly named as a suspect. However, the discussion reflects on how law enforcement and the prosecutor's office might view the case, the process of gathering evidence, and the potential for future charges based on the evolving investigation.

This summary captures the essence of the discussion between Tony Brueski and Bob Motta, focusing on the tragic loss of Maddie Soto and the investigative and legal challenges in addressing such harrowing cases.
