In the podcast 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, discussed the disturbing case of Maddie Soto, a 13-year-old girl allegedly murdered by Stephan Stearns, her mother's boyfriend. They reviewed body cam footage from the initial police response, highlighting the unusual calmness and scripted narrative of Maddie's mother, Jennifer. Dreeke noted that Jennifer's behavior, including deflecting potential leads and showing a lack of expected emotional distress, raised suspicions. Stearns' body language was also analyzed, indicating possible blocking behavior. Dreeke emphasized the importance of nonverbal cues and baseline behavior in such investigations. He speculated that Jennifer might be cooperating with authorities to uncover more about Stearns' possible involvement in sex trafficking and child pornography. Dreeke suggested that the investigation is thorough, potentially leading to more charges as new evidence emerges, particularly from Stearns' cell phone data.
