On 2/26/2024 at approximately 2355 hours, I, Officer Clark #909, responded to 4012 Santa Maria Drive apartment
107 in reference to an attempt to locate in reference to a missing juvenile case (report #24-011313) the Orange
County Sheriffs Office are working (KPD event #2402260405).
Prior to arrival, I was advised that the Orange County Sheriffs Office (OCSO) is working on a missing juvenile
whose primary residence is the aforementioned address. I was advised by LT Ortiz #534 to return to the
aforementioned address and make contact with the family, again, and advise if Madeline Soto (DOB 2/22/2011)
returned home.
Upon arrival, I spoke with Jennifer Soto (Madeline`s mother) and Stephan Sterns (Jennifer`s boyfriend) who both
provided me with a verbal statement summarized as follows: On the morning of 2/27/2024, Stephan took Madeline to
school in a silver 2010 Lincoln MKZ (IYLL82-FL). Stephan dropped Madeline off a block away from school due to
her not wanting to be seen in an old Lincoln. They stated that Madeline forgot her phone at home, and that Madeline
has ADHD and is usually forgetful. They stated that Madeline did not take any personal items or leave any notes
hinting to her running away. They stated they have not had any recent arguments. Jennifer and I looked through
Madeline`s cellphone, including her recently deleted messages, which did not contain anything suspicious or hinting
to her wanting to run away. There was a text message Madeline sent to a friend, stating when she turns 18 years old,
she wants to live in the woods.
Jennifer and Stephan allowed me to search the residence with negative results for Madeline. Stephan took me to each
family member`s vehicles outside of the residence with negative results for Madeline inside any vehicles. I observed
a handgun in the rear back pocket of the driver`s seat in the Lincoln MKZ, which Stephan stated he usually leaves it
in the vehicle. Stephan also advised me not to pay attention to the donut tire on his vehicle, due to him recently
catching a flat tire earlier that day.
Jennifer provided me with her sister`s address, 2317 Carriage Run Road, which is within walking distance from
Santa Maria Drive.
I responded to 2317 Carriage Run Road and spoke with Jennifer`s sister who stated she has not seen Madeline since
her birthday party on 2/26/2024. She allowed me to search her residence with negative results for Madeline. She
allowed me to look in her vehicle as well as inside of a utility van belonging to Madeline`s grandfather. The utility
van has been turned into an RV, which also had negative results for Madeline.
On 2/27/2024, at approximately 2301 hours, I responded back out to 4012 Santa Maria Drive to meet with multiple
detectives and their supervisors from OCSO while they interviewed Madeline`s family again.
Officer Owens #914 and I stood by the aforementioned address until properly relieved.
This report is also related to KPD case #24-001896.
This report will be forwarded to the Records Division.
A portion of this incident was captured on my Department issued body worn camera. The body worn camera and its
footage is maintained by the Kissimmee Police Department.

On February 26, 2024, at approximately 2000 hours, Madeline Soto, a 13-year old was reported missing to the Orange
County Sheriff`s Office by her mother, Jennifer Soto (Orange County case 24-011313).
Jennifer completed a sworn written statement to Orange County deputies to the following: Jennifer stated on
02/26/2024, at approximately 0800 hours, she saw Madeline getting ready for school. Jennifer stated Stephan Sterns
took her to school and dropped her off close to the school. Jennifer said Stephan dropped Madeline off on Town Loop
Boulevard between Town Center Boulevard and Hunters Park Lane. Jennifer said Stephan dropped her off between
0830 hours and 0845 hours. Jennifer stated Madeline never made it to school. Jennifer went to Hunters Creek Middle
School around 1600 hours to pick Madeline up and she never came out of the school. Jennifer stated she searched
around the area and then went to her mother`s office but could not locate her.
Deputy Joseph from the Orange County Sheriff`s Office contacted the on-call Domestic Crimes Detective, who
investigate missing persons, who advised to send the report to the Missing Persons squad.
On February 27, 2024, Detective Hunt from the Orange County Sheriff`s Office received information that Madeline did
not report to school on the previous day. Therefore, Detective Hunt began his investigation. Detective Hunt interviewed
Jennifer and Stephan during the initial phase of this investigation. During these interviews, Detective Hunt noticed some
inconsistencies.
Detective Tagler with the Orange County Sheriff`s Office was also asked to assist with interviewing Stephan during this
case. Detective Tagler would eventually become the lead investigator for the Orange County Sheriff`s Office case.
Detective Tagler contacted Stephan at 4012 Santa Maria Drive. Detective Tagler was provided locations where
Stephan`s vehicle (2010 silver Lincoln MKZ, bearing FL tag IYLL82) had been seen during the time Stephan stated he
dropped off Madeline at school. Detective Tagler confronted Stephan about his locations during the interview, but
Stephan would provide answers that did not match up to his vehicle location. Stephan provided consent to search his
phone, however he stated had accidently performed a factory reset on his phone on 02/26/2024. Detective Tagler asked
Stephan a second time if he consented to the download of his phone and he agreed and provided his passcode. Detective
Tagler then proceeded to the security gate at Venetian Bay to review video. Upon reviewing the security video,
Detective Tagler observed Stephan`s vehicle exiting the complex with a female wearing a green sweater in the front
passenger seat. The female was slumped over to her left, which is an abnormal way for a person to be seated in a
vehicle. At that point, Detective Tagler decided to secure the residence at 4012 Santa Maria Drive for a search warrant.
The Kissimmee Police Department was notified and asked to assist with this case. Detective Smallwood responded to
assist Orange County in the search. The decision was made to have patrol officers from the Kissimmee Police
Department secure the location for the search warrant to be executed on 02/28/2024.
On February 28, 2024, I, Detective Mark Morris, was called and asked to respond to 4012 Santa Maria Drive to assist
Orange County in executing the search warrant for their missing person case.

Upon my arrival I contacted Orange County deputies who were waiting for their forensics unit to arrive to execute the
search warrant. While Orange County was serving a search warrant on the premises, a subsequent search warrant was
executed on Stephan`s cellular phone. Upon reviewing the contents of Stephan`s phone, it was discovered several
images were saved in a Google Drive. A separate search warrant was served to Google and upon the receipt of the
contents of Stephan`s Google Drive, several images and videos were located which depicted an apparent child with her
breasts, vagina, and anal opening as the focal point of the pictures/videos. There were also pictures and videos depicting
an apparent child`s vagina and mouth being penetrated by a penis. Sexual Offense Identity

During this time, it was also discovered Stephan did not drop Madeline off at school as he previously stated. Based
upon the contents of Stephan`s Google Drive and the suspicious nature of Madeline going missing, it was decided that I
become the lead investigator from the Kissimmee Police Department.
Corporal Illgen and I responded to the Orange County Sheriff`s Office, where deputies had already arranged for
Jennifer and Stephan to be transported there for a press conference. I was shown the contents of Stephan`s Google
Drive, where one folder that appeared dedicated to Sexual ontained over 1700 files. A majority of these
photographs and videos showed Sexual in different sexual positions. Based upon these images, Orange County
Detective`s began to author an arrest warrant for Stephan. Due to the fact that most of these images appeared to have
occurred a Sexual Offense Identity location, probable cause was provided to Detective Moore of the
Kissimmee Police Department. Detective Moore wrote the arrest warrant charging Stephan with sexual battery and
possession of child pornography.
While the arrest warrant was being written and obtained by Detective Moore, at approximately 1645 hours, I contacted
Jennifer in a conference room at the sheriff`s office. Jennifer was asked questions about Madeline being missing and the
dynamics of the household. Jennifer stated her and Stephan had been dating on and off for approximately seven years.
Stephan had moved out of the home in the later part of 2023 (November/December). Jennifer stated while they were
together they would either all sleep in the same bed or Madeline would sleep with her when Stephan was not there.
When asked if it was normal that Stephan and Madeline to sleep together without her being there and she said yes.
Jennifer stated if she needed a good night sleep due to her anxiety, she would ask them to sleep in a different bedroom.
Orange County Detective`s had previously shown Jennifer photographs of Stephan`s penis for identification purposes.
Jennifer did not want believe Sexual and Stephan were engaged in sexual activity. Jennifer asked to see the image of
Stephan Sexual Offense I pulled out a printed picture from Stephan`s Google Drive that showed Sexual with
Stephan`s penis in Sex mouth. Jennifer said she didn`t recognize anything in the picture, as if she was in denial.
However, she became visibly upset. I asked Jennifer additional questions unrelated to this particular case. I excused
myself and told her that I was going to speak with Stephan.
I contacted Stephan in an interview room at the Sheriff`s Office. Stephan was asleep when I entered the room along
with Corporal Illgen. After introducing ourselves, I explained the reason why we were there speaking with him. I read
Stephan his Miranda Warnings which we waived and agreed to speak with us. Stephan stated he had known

Page 12


Jennifer for several years and they dated for most of that time. I asked Stephan what the sleeping arrangements were
within the home. Stephan stated Madeline typically sleeps with Jennifer in Jennifer`s bed. Stephan stated Madeline
wanted them all to sleep in the same bed when he returned from being away for several months. Stephan stated
Madeline always needed human contact when going to sleep, Stephan referred to it as "snuggling". As the interview
went on, I asked Stephan if Madeline has ever been sexually active with anyone in the past. Stephan stated there was an
incident when she was much younger. Stephan said Madeline did something with a phone or camera, but she wasn`t
scolded for it. Stephan said she was very young when this happened. I asked Stephan if he provided Orange County
deputies consent to search through his phone and he stated yes. I asked Stephan if he had a Google account and he
stated he did. When I asked Stephan if he saved pictures to that account, he said sometimes. Stephan stated he did have
pictures of him and Madeline saved to that account. When I asked Stephan about all the pictures he had saved, Stephan
then asked if he should be talking to a lawyer. Shortly after that, Stephan requested an attorney. Stephan was arrested
for sexual battery Sexual Offense Identity when the victim was under 12 years old and possession of child
pornography. A search warrant was obtained to collect DNA from Stephan. This warrant was executed by Orange
County detectives and forensic unit.
I was able to search through Stephan`s Google account and observed the following videos/images:

Contact: Reference: Investigative Narrative
On February 26, 2024, at approximately 1853 hours, E911 System called 911 to make a missing person report. E911
stated she was calling on the behalf of Jennifer Soto, who is the mother to Madeline Soto. Madeline is a 13-year old
female who was missing was reported missing from Hunters Creek Middle School (13400 Town Loop Boulevard,
Orlando, FL). E91 would call 911 two different times after the initial call to Orange County, wanting to know why
deputies haven`t responded yet. This incident would be documented under Orange County Sheriff`s Office case
24-011313.
Jennifer completed a sworn written statement to Orange County deputies to the following: Jennifer stated on
02/26/2024, at approximately 0800 hours, she saw Madeline getting ready for school. Jennifer stated Stephan Sterns
took her to school and dropped her off close to the school. Jennifer said Stephan dropped Madeline off on Town Loop
Boulevard between Town Center Boulevard and Hunters Park Lane. Jennifer said Stephan dropped her off between
0830 hours and 0845 hours. Jennifer stated Madeline never made it to school. Jennifer went to Hunters Creek Middle
School around 1600 hours to pick Madeline up and she never came out of the school. Jennifer stated she searched
around the area and then went to her mother`s office but could not locate her. Deputy Joseph then contacted Stephen,
who identified himself as Jennifer`s boyfriend. Stephan stated he dropped Madeline off approximately one block away
from Hunters Creek Middle School. Stephan said he watched Madeline walk in the direction of the school while
searching for something in her back pack. Stephan then drove to a local vape shop, which was closed so he returned
home to 4012 Santa Maria Drive. Stephan stated he left the residence about one hour later to go to the vape shop and to
run errands, returning to the residence at approximately 1430 hours.
When Jennifer and Stephan were reporting Madeline missing, Stephan described Madeline to be wearing a green
hoodie, blue pants and white Crocs. Jennifer then stated Madeline was wearing black shorts. During this interaction it
appeared as if Stephan was answering the deputy`s questions while Jennifer was also trying to answer the questions.
Stephan appeared confident in his answers about Madeline`s description, where Jennifer didn`t.
Madeline was entered into NCIC/FCIC as missing. Deputy Joseph from the Orange County Sheriff`s Office contacted
the on-call Domestic Crimes Detective, who investigate missing persons, who advised to send the report to the Missing
Persons squad.
Detective Hunt was assigned the missing person`s case and began his investigation. Detective Hunt conducted
interviews with Jennifer and Stephan to gather details regarding Madeline going missing.
On February 27, 2024 at approximately 1116 hours, Detective Hunt made contact with Jennifer at her residence.
Jennifer stated the following during her statement: Jennifer stated she last saw Madeline at approximately 2300 hours,
of 02/25/2024. Jennifer stated Madeline went to the guest bedroom to sleep along with Stephan because she just started
a new job and needed to get some sleep which she had not gotten recently. Jennifer stated Madeline typically sleeps
with her and when Stephan comes into town he would sleep in the guest bedroom. Jennifer stated Stephan moved out of
her house sometime in December 2023 because he was offered a job by his father who lives in North Port, Florida.
Jennifer stated Stephan has visited two to three times since he moved out. Jennifer stated Stephan was planning on
staying one week during this time because he was going to help with Madeline and

Page 28


their dog while she was in training for her new job. Jennifer stated she couldn`t remember when Stephan arrived. She
stated it was either Saturday or Sunday morning. Jennifer stated she heard people getting ready in the morning, but
couldn`t say for sure who it was. Jennifer stated Stephan accidently woke her up while trying to get the leash on their
dog. Jennifer said she was going to help Stephan, but he was able to get the leash on the dog without her help. Jennifer
confirmed she never saw Madeline that morning. Jennifer stated when she takes Madeline to school, they would leave
no later than 0850 hours. Jennifer stated the night before they agreed to have Stephan get Madeline ready for school and
take her. Jennifer said Stephan was going to take Madeline to McDonalds, but she changed her mind in the last minute.
When Detective Hunt asked Jennifer when she found that information out, she said Stephan called her at 1018 hours in
the morning. Jennifer inquired if they ever stopped at McDonalds and Stephan said they didn`t, even though he tried
convincing her several times. Jennifer said she set her alarm for 0900 hours, which is when she woke up. Jennifer left
the residence around 0930 hours, to go to an appointment to have blood drawn. Jennifer stated she didn`t see Stephan
before she left. After Jennifer left, that is when Stephan called her to tell her about the McDonalds. Stephan also stated
after he dropped off Madeline at school, he went to a vape shop, but they weren`t open. Jennifer said she got back home
between 1115 hours and 1130 hours, and Stephan was there. Jennifer said she stayed at home until about 1430 hours,
until she left to go pick up Madeline from school. Jennifer said she waited for approximately 10 minutes after the school
bell rang for Madeline to come out to her car. Since Madeline didn`t come out to the car, Jennifer stated she couldn`t
remember if she told Madeline to go to her grandmother`s (Yolanda Zambrano Nunez) office to be picked up. Jennifer
called Yolanda who stated Madeline wasn`t there. Jennifer drove around the area looking for Madeline, then went back
to the school to speak with someone at the office. The office was closed. Jennifer said while she was driving to the
school, she placed a call to Sage Ellis, who is Madeline`s best friend. Sage stated Madeline never made it to school.
Jennifer asked her what she meant, and said "I, we dropped her off close to school". Jennifer said she emailed
Madeline`s teachers to inquire about her attendance for the day, which confirmed she wasn`t in school all day. At that
point, E911 stated she called 911. Jennifer said she is the one who typically gets Madeline ready for school, but this
week she asked Stephan to help because of her new work schedule. Jennifer said Stephan has only dropped Madeline
off once or twice in the past. Detective Hunt asked why Stephan would drop her off close to the school instead of on
school grounds and she said Madeline was embarrassed to be seen in Stephan`s vehicle. Detective Hunt inquired about
Madeline`s biological father, Tyler Wallace. Tyler lives in Texas, but Jennifer stated she didn`t believe Madeline would
be making her way to Texas to see her father, due to the limited contact they had with each other. Jennifer said
Madeline left her debit card and cellular phone at home. Jennifer said Madeline has ADHD, and she would leave her
phone at home often. Jennifer also stated Madeline was diagnosed with autism at the same time of her ADHD. But
doctors recently reassessed Madeline and stated she only has autistic traits, but weren`t for sure if she had autism.
Detective Hunt asked Jennifer if he could take Madeline`s cellular phone to examine its contents, which she agreed and
provided it to him. Detective Hunt asked Jennifer what she thought happened, Jennifer said she didn`t think Madeline
would run away. She was dropped off between 0830 hours and 0845 hours, which is earlier than normal. Jennifer said
Stephan told her when he dropped her off, she was rummaging through her backpack assuming she was looking for her
phone. Detective Hunt concluded his interview shortly after that.
At approximately 1205 hours, Detective Hunt then contacted Stephan at Jennifer`s residence. Stephan gave the
following sworn statement: Stephan stated the last time he saw Madeline was when he dropped her off at school

Page 29


on 02/26/2024, between 0825 hours and 0840 hours. Stephan said Madeline liked to be dropped off away from school
sometimes because she didn`t want to be seen in a "hoopty" car. Meaning an old car. Stephan said he dropped Madeline
off along a stretch of road that had several communities, which was by the overpass of SR 417. Stephan said the school
was on the other side of the overpass from where he dropped her off at. Stephan said Madeline liked cool morning
walks. Stephan said Madeline was wearing her hoodie sweatshirt. Stephan said it wasn`t common for him to take
Madeline to school, he was only helping Jennifer out because she started a new job. Stephan said he splits time between
Kissimmee and his parents house in Northport, Florida, because they need his help due to their age. Stephan said when
he comes to Kissimmee he would come for weeks at a time. However, in other statements received later on in this
investigation, Stephan would only come to Kissimmee for a couple days at a time. Stephan stated he arrived in
Kissimmee on Saturday (02/24/2024). Stephan said he moved back to his parent`s house because they told him they are
getting older and they really needed his help around their house. Stephan said his parents were already making an "end
of life plan". When Detective Hunt was clarifying the times of 0825 hours and 0840 hours, Stephan said he left his
phone at home so he wasn`t sure what time it was. Stephan said after he left Madeline, he was looking at her in the
rear-view mirror and she looked like she was making her way towards the school. Stephan said he went to a vape shop
nearby, but they were closed, so he made his way home and spent time with Jennifer. Detective Hunt confirmed with
Stephan that he arrived back home around 1000 hours, and Jennifer was there and he said yes. Stephan said Jennifer
was just waking up. This statement contradicts what Jennifer said, where her alarm went off at 0900 hours and she left
at 0930 hours for her appointment. Stephan said he left to go to the vape shop and went back home where they hung out
some more. Stephan said Jennifer wanted to take a nap, so he went to run some errands. Stephan said he went to some
card game shops in the area, and that is when he got a flat tire. Stephan said he got a flat tire on Highway 192, which he
described as "hair raising". Stephan said he got the flat tire sometime between noon and 1400 hours. Stephan was
supposed to go with Jennifer to pick Madeline up from school, but he said since he got the flat tire he was late getting
home. Detective Hunt asked Stephan to tell him about Sunday night going into Monday. Stephan is heard taking a deep
sigh, and said Madeline was happy, and talking about crushes (meaning boys she had a crush on) and a singing
performance. Stephan said Jennifer requested him to take Madeline to school in the morning, Stephan agreed since he
has done this a few times in the past. When discussing the sleeping arrangements, Stephan said he and Madeline went to
sleep around 2300 hours to 2315 hours because Madeline was wound up from her party. Stephan said they were getting
up really early so the could "make good time getting out of the door". Stephan said they got up around 0700 hours on
02/26/2024. Stephan said he spoke with Jennifer a couple times while he was in and out of her room, even though
Jennifer said they only spoke once about the dog. Stephan said he was impressed they made such good time getting out
of the door, they were out between 0730 hours to 0745 hours. Detective Hunt asked Stephan where Madeline left her
phone, and he said she left it in her room when she was grabbing her shoes or sweatshirt. Detective Hunt spoke to
Stephan about the church near where he dropped Madeline off, and concluded the interview shortly afterwards.
Detective Hunt obtained information from license plate readers and video footage from the area which revealed certain
inconsistencies in Stephan`s statement.
Detective Hunt then contacted Yolanda Zambrano, who is Madeline`s grandmother. The last time she saw

Page 30


Madeline was the night of 02/25/2024, at her home located at 5244 Los Palmas Vista Drive, Orlando, Florida 32837.
This is where Madeline`s birthday party was held. It is not uncommon for Madeline to sometimes walk from Hunters
Creek Middle School to Yolanda`s office located at 13550 Village Park Drive. On 02/26/2024, Jennifer called Yolanda
and asked if Madeline walked to her office because she was not currently at school. Yolanda stated Madeline was taken
to school by Stephan, whom she knows as Jennifer`s ex-boyfriend. Yolanda believes Jennifer and Stephan broke up in
December when he moved out of the home, but she wasn`t sure why they broke up. Yolanda stated Stephan possibly
came to Kissimmee for Madeline`s birthday. Stephan has taken Madeline to school in the past and stated he dropped her
off at a nearby apartment complex named Urbana. Madeline has never run away from home in the past. Approximately
one year ago, there was an incident where Madeline was upset due to having an argument with her mother and she
called Yolanda. At that time, Madeline explained she was walking around the neighborhood due to being angry;
however, she soon went back home after being told to do so by Yolanda. Yolanda stated she doesn`t like Stephan
because he doesn`t do anything, as in working. She said Jennifer just doesn`t want to be alone
Detective Tagler with the Orange County Sheriff`s Office was also asked to assist with interviewing Stephan during this
case. Detective Tagler would eventually become the lead investigator for the Orange County Sheriff`s Office case.
Detective Tagler contacted Stephan at 4012 Santa Maria Drive. Detective Tagler was provided locations where
Stephan`s vehicle (2010 silver Lincoln MKZ, bearing FL tag IYLL82) had been seen during the time Stephan stated he
dropped off Madeline at school. Detective Tagler confronted Stephan about his locations during the interview, but
Stephan would provide answers that did not match up to his vehicle location. This raised concerns with Detective
Tagler as if Stephan was withholding information. Stephan provided consent to search his phone, however he stated had
accidently performed a factory reset on his phone on 02/26/2024. Detective Tagler asked Stephan a second time if he
consented to the download of his phone and he agreed and provided his passcode. Detective Tagler gave Stephan`s
cellular phone to the Orange County Sheriff`s Office Digital Forensics Unit to download. Detective Tagler then
proceeded to the security gate at Venetian Bay to review video. Upon reviewing the security video, Detective Tagler
observed Stephan`s vehicle exiting the complex with a female wearing a green sweater in the front passenger seat. The
female was slumped over to her left, which is an abnormal way for a person to be seated in a vehicle. At that point,
Detective Tagler decided to secure the residence at 4012 Santa Maria Drive for a search warrant.
The Kissimmee Police Department was notified and asked to assist with this case. Detective Smallwood responded to
assist Orange County in the search. The decision was made to have patrol officers from the Kissimmee Police
Department secure the location for the search warrant to be executed on 02/28/2024.
On February 28, 2024, I, Detective Mark Morris, was called and asked to respond to 4012 Santa Maria Drive to assist
Orange County in executing the search warrant for their missing person case.
Upon my arrival I contacted Orange County deputies who were waiting for their forensics unit to arrive to execute the
search warrant. While Orange County was serving a search warrant on the premises, a subsequent search warrant was
executed on Stephan`s cellular phone. Upon reviewing the contents of Stephan`s phone, it was

discovered several images were saved in a Google Drive. A separate search warrant was served to Google and upon the
receipt of the contents of Stephan`s Google Drive, several images and videos were located which depicted an apparent
child with her breasts, vagina, and anal opening as the focal point of the pictures/videos. There were also pictures and
videos depicting an apparent child`s vagina and mouth being penetrated by a penis. The child was later identified as
During this time, it was also discovered Stephan did not drop Madeline off at school as he previously stated. Orange
County detectives were able to gather information from license plate readers and traffic cameras, this information
confirmed that Stephan did not drop Madeline off at school. In fact, his vehicle was seen driving south on Old Hickory
Tree Road on 02/26/2024.
Corporal Illgen and I drove out to the area of Old Hickory Tree road to canvass the area for possible spots where
Stephan may have dumped Madeline`s body. We searched several different places; however, the results were negative.
We also contacted staff at Hickory Tree Elementary to review surveillance video. Deputy Chisolm with the Osceola
County Sheriff`s Office was able to assist in watching the video. On 02/26/2024, at approximately 1317 hours, a vehicle
matching Stephan`s is seen travelling south on Old Hickory Tree Road passing the school.
Based upon the suspicious nature of Madeline going missing, it was decided that I become the lead investigator from
the Kissimmee Police Department.
On February 28, 2024, at approximately 1300 hours, Corporal Illgen and I responded to the Orange County Sheriff`s
Office so I could be briefed on their investigation. Due to this investigation being worked by the two different agencies,
it was decided to have the command center be housed at the Orange County Sheriff`s Office. Deputies had already
arranged for Jennifer and Stephan to be transported there for a press conference. I was shown the contents of Stephan`s
Google Drive, where one folder that appeared dedicated to Sexual contained over 1700 files. A majority of these
photographs and videos showed Sexual different sexual positions. Based upon these images, Orange County
Detective`s began to author an arrest warrant for Stephan. Due to the fact that most of these images appeared to have
occurred Sexual Offense Identity location, probable cause was provided to Detective Moore of the
Kissimmee Police Department. Detective Moore wrote the arrest warrant charging Stephan with sexual battery and
possession of child pornography.
I was also provided information from license plate readers, surveillance videos and traffic cameras:
On February 26, 2024, at 0730 hours, Stephan is seen driving his vehicle to the dumpster in Venetian Bay. Stephan is
wearing a red shirt and tan pants. Stephan exits the vehicle and throws away two large white trash bags. In the
passenger seat of Stephan`s vehicle is a white female wearing a green sweatshirt with her head slumped over to the left.
The positioning of the female does not appear to be normal and she doesn`t move while Stephan is exiting or entering
the vehicle. The female appears to be Madeline.
On February 26, 2024, at 0810 hours, Stephan is driving south on John Young Parkway approaching Thacker

Page 32


Avenue. Madeline is still in the front passenger seat in the same position.
On February 26, 2024, at 0819 hours, Stephan enters Venetian Bay and exits the rear of the complex at 0831 hours.
Madeline is still in the front passenger seat in the same position.
On February 26, 2024, at 0901 hours, Stephan is driving north on International Drive and Central Florida Parkway.
Madeline is still in the front passenger seat in the same position. This confirms that Stephan did not drop Madeline off
at or near school as he previously stated.
On February 26, 2024, at 0935 hours, Stephan is driving into the parking garage of 9271 South John Young Parkway.
Stephan drives up to the second level and parks near the northeast corner of the lot. Stephan backs his vehicle into a
parking space by the stairs. Stephan exits his vehicle and walks towards the rear of his vehicle and opens the trunk. At
0941 hours, Stephan is seen placing Madeline, who is wearing a green sweatshirt and blue pants, in the trunk of his
vehicle. Stephan then exits the parking garage.
On February 26, 2024, at 1014 hours, Stephan enters Venetian Bay through the east gate of the complex. Madeline is no
longer seen in the front passenger seat of his vehicle.
On February 26, 2024, at 1054 hours, Stephan is seen driving to the dumpster in Venetian Bay throwing away more
trash.
On February 26, 2024, at 1122 hours, Stephan drives to 13651 South John Young Parkway (eSmokerOnline Vape
Shop). Stephan makes a purchase and leaves shortly afterwards.
Stephan`s vehicle then travels east on Highway 192 towards Saint Cloud, Florida. His vehicle is captured on several
traffic cameras as well as license plate readers.
On February 26, 2024, at 1316 hours, Stephan is driving south Old Hickory Tree Road. Stephan passes Hickory Tree
Elementary at approximately 1317 hours.
On February 26, 2024, at 1411 hours, Stephan is driving west on Highway 192 from Old Hickory Tree Road. Stephan`s
vehicle now has a spare tire on the rear driver`s side of his vehicle.
On February 26, 2024, at 1521 hours, Stephan is seen throwing items in the dumpster in Venetian Bay.
On February 27, 2024, at 0318 hours, Jennifer`s vehicle is seen driving east on Highway 192 through Kissimmee to
Saint Cloud, Florida. The vehicle takes the same exact path as Stephan. At 0335 hours, Jennifer`s vehicle is seen driving
south on Old Hickory Tree Road from Highway 192. The vehicle is then seen again turning west on Highway 192 from
Old Hickory Tree Road at 0409 hours.

The vehicle then returns to Venetian Bay at approximately 0430 hours. A more detailed timeline is included with
Detective Cabral`s supplement.
While the arrest warrant was being written and obtained by Detective Moore, at approximately 1645 hours, I contacted
Jennifer in a conference room at the sheriff`s office. Jennifer was asked questions about Madeline being missing and the
dynamics of the household. Jennifer stated her and Stephan had been dating on and off for approximately seven years.
Stephan had moved out of the home in the later part of 2023 (November/December). Jennifer stated while they were
together they would either all sleep in the same bed or Madeline would sleep with her when Stephan was not there.
When asked if it was normal that Stephan and Madeline to sleep together without her being there and she said yes.
Jennifer stated if she needed a good night sleep due to her anxiety, she would ask them to sleep in a different bedroom.
Jennifer stated she was woke up the next morning by Stephan attempting to put a leash on their dog. Stephan told
Jennifer to go back to bed because he would take care of walking the dog. So, Jennifer went back to sleep. Jennifer
stated Madeline must have got dressed for school in her room because her phone was left on her nightstand. Jennifer
stated Stephan said he was impressed on how quickly they were able to get out of the house to go to school. Stephan
told Jennifer that Madeline was asleep most of the ride to school, however he was still able to ask her about eating at
McDonalds according to Stephan. Jennifer stated they recently ended their relationship and he moved back to North
Port, Florida to stay with his parents. Jennifer said she ended the relationship because he was a messy person. Jennifer
said they didn`t have a sexual relationship because her medications affected her sex drive. I asked Jennifer who drives
her vehicle, and she said only her and Stephan. Jennifer said Stephan took her vehicle Monday night because he decided
to go drive around, searching for Madeline. This would have been when Stephan traveled back to Saint Cloud in the
early morning hours of 02/27/2024. Orange County Detective`s had previously shown Jennifer photographs of
Stephan`s penis for identification purposes. Jennifer did not want believe Sexual and Stephan were engaged in sexual
activity. Jennifer asked to see the image of Stephan and Sexual pulled out a printed picture from Stephan`s Google
Drive that showed Sexual with Stephan`s penis in her mouth. Jennifer said she didn`t recognize anything in the
picture, as if she was in denial. However, she became visibly upset. Shortly after these questions, I excused myself and
told her that I was going to speak with Stephan.
I contacted Stephan in an interview room at the Sheriff`s Office. Stephan was asleep when I entered the room along
with Corporal Illgen. After introducing ourselves, I explained the reason why we were there speaking with him. I read
Stephan his Miranda Warnings which we waived and agreed to speak with us. Stephan stated he had known Jennifer for
several years and they dated for most of that time. I asked Stephan what the sleeping arrangements were within the
home. Stephan stated Madeline typically sleeps with Jennifer in Jennifer`s bed. Stephan stated Madeline wanted them
all to sleep in the same bed when he returned from being away for several months. Stephan stated Madeline always
needed human contact when going to sleep, Stephan referred to it as "snuggling". I asked Stephan if he stayed in the
same room as Madeline the entire night. Stephan said he was up and down, maybe to grab a drink, but he never slept in
Jennifer`s bed that night. Stephan stated Madeline would set her alarm for around 0700-0730 hours, and would then
snooze for a while. Stephan stated they eventually make it out the door. This contradicts his prior statement saying they
made good time getting out of the house to drop her off. Stephan said he was giving Jennifer updates as the morning
went along, meaning he was telling Jennifer when Madeline was

Page 34


getting dressed and leaving. This was also not true, as Jennifer stated the only time they spoke is when he was getting
the leash on the dog and he told her to go back to sleep. Stephan said they had time to kill since they were too early for
school, so he returned home because he forgot his gate clicker for the complex. However, when Stephan arrived at the
gate, he had his gate clicker in his hand while speaking with the security guard at Venetian Bay. Stephan said Madeline
was wearing a green sweatshirt, black shorts and white crocs when he dropped her off. This is a different description he
provided deputies during the initial contact. As the interview went on, I asked Stephan if Madeline has ever been
sexually active with anyone in the past. Stephan stated there was an incident when she was much younger. Stephan said
Madeline did something with a phone or camera, but she wasn`t scolded for it. Stephan said she was very young when
this happened. I asked Stephan if he provided Orange County deputies consent to search through his phone and he
stated yes. I asked Stephan if he had a Google account and he stated he did. When I asked Stephan if he saved pictures
to that account, he said sometimes. Stephan stated he did have pictures of him and Madeline saved to that account.
When I asked Stephan about all the pictures he had saved, Stephan then asked if he should be talking to a lawyer.
Shortly after that, Stephan requested an attorney. Stephan was arrested for sexual battery Sexual Offense Identity
when the victim was under 12 years old and possession of child pornography. A search warrant was obtained to collect
DNA from Stephan. This warrant was executed by Orange County detectives and forensic unit. Stephan was then
transported to the Orange County Jail to be held on a zero bond.
While I was conducting interviews with Jennifer and Stephan, Detective Belardes from the Orange County Sheriff`s
Office, learned the garbage dumpster from Venetian Bay had not been collected since Stephan is seen on video
throwing several items away. Detective Belardes arranged for the dumpster to be collected and transported to 4978 LB
McLeod Road, where the dumpster was emptied in a secure area away from all other trash. The Orange County
Sheriff`s Office Forensic Unit responded and assisted in searching through the trash from the dumpster. Crime Scene
Investigators located a tire which in the trash, and near the tire was a plastic bag that looked similar to the one Stephan
is seen on camera throwing away. Inside the bag was a black backpack with a Hawaiian print. Inside the backpack was
an Orange County Public Schools laptop computer belonging to Madeline Soto. Also, in the bag was a single with croc.
This croc matched one that was found in the residence where Madeline resided. These items were collected by the
Orange County Sheriff`s Office Crime Scene Investigators and submitted into evidence.
On February 29, 2024, at approximately 1709 hours, we contacted Jennifer. I advised Jennifer that our crime scene
technicians were there to collect additional items that were seen in Stephan`s photographs. Jennifer confirmed on the
morning of 02/26/2024, she was woken up by Stephan trying to put the leash on their dog. Jennifer got up and Stephan
told her not to worry about it and go back to sleep. Jennifer said she doesn`t remember Stephan coming back in to tell
her goodbye, or saying goodbye to Madeline. I asked her about writing a statement to Orange County deputies about
seeing Madeline on the morning of 02/26/2024. Jennifer stated she wanted to believe she saw Madeline, but she actually
did not see her. Jennifer said Madeline picked out clothes to wear on the evening of 02/25/2024. I asked Jennifer to
explain her and Stephan`s sex life, which she described as "vanilla". Stephan would want to have anal sex with Jennifer,
but she said she didn`t want to. We later spoke about what medication Madeline was taking. Jennifer stated Madeline
was taking 20 mg Adderall, 25mg of Hydroxyzine, which is a

Page 35


sleeping medication and anxiety medication, and MiraLAX for constipation. I asked Jennifer what is her morning
routine with Madeline. She said she makes sure Madeline has her school items ready, while making her breakfast and
lunch. Jennifer said she makes sure Madeline takes her medications before school. Then she would take her to school,
Jennifer said her entire life was dedicated to Madeline. When I asked Jennifer about the sleeping arrangements, Jennifer
said Madeline would sleep with her most of the time, and when Stephan was there, they would all sleep in the same bed
together. Jennifer said when her and Stephan broke up, she could only think of a few times that Madeline slept with
Stephan in a separate room. Jennifer said she didn`t feel comfortable with Madeline sleeping with Stephan, and it didn`t
look right to her. I asked Jennifer when she started feeling comfortable with it and she said she never was comfortable
with it. I challenged Jennifer about telling them to go to sleep together on 02/25/2024, and she it was a selfish move
because she wanted a good night`s sleep.
On February 29, 2024, at approximately 1933 hours, Sergeant Breuer and myself contacted Angelica Nigro, who is one
of Jennifer`s roommates. Angelica was placed under oath and she provided the following statement: Jennifer stated she
arrived home at approximately 2330 hours, on 02/25/2024. I asked if she seen Madeline or Jennifer when she got home
on 02/25/2024. Angelica stated she did not see either of them, and said when Jennifer takes her sleeping medication, she
falls into a deep sleep. Angelica stated she did hear noises coming from the bedroom next to her, which would be
Stephan`s bedroom where he and Madeline slept. Jennifer told Angelica that her and Stephan has not had a sexual
relationship within the past six months. Angelica stated on 02/26/2024, she woke up between 0930 hours and she went
downstairs to make breakfast around 1030 hours. Angelica stated she saw Stephan in the residence at that time.
Angelica said Stephan was acting odd and going upstairs and downstairs, and in and out of the apartment that morning.
Stephan was also washing clothes, which she has never seen him do. When Angelica left for work at approximately
1540 hours, Stephan was there. Angelica got home from work at approximately 2300 hours, and that is when Jennifer
told her that Madeline was missing. Angelica said Jennifer was crying and very emotional. Angelica described
Stephan`s emotions as calm, and not how someone would act if their child was missing. Later during the interview, I
showed a photograph that was located in Stephan`s phone of a nude female in a bathroom. Angelica identified the
person in the photograph as her, which she did not give him permission to take those pictures.
On March 1, 2024, at approximately 1157 hours, Detective Smallwood and I contacted Jennifer at her residence for a
follow up interview. I advised Jennifer that we would be taking her to the Orange County Sheriff`s Office to retrieve her
vehicle. I advised Jennifer that I would be taking over the investigation and there would be a press conference this day
to announce it. Jennifer asked when I said we, did we mean homicide. I told Jennifer I meant we as the Kissimmee
Police Department, but yes, we will be working it as a homicide because we had a strong belief that Madeline was
deceased. Jennifer became silent for a few moments and started to cry. Jennifer said she had been avoiding the internet
because of the things being said or leaked to the media and it was traumatizing for her. I asked Jennifer where all she
has physically looked for Madeline since she had gone missing. Jennifer said she has not looked anywhere for Madeline
because she wanted to be home in case she came back home. Jennifer said she has since been staying at her sister`s
house because she didn`t want to be seen in public. I asked Jennifer is Madeline had any siblings, and she said she was
married to Steven Young and he had a daughter that was raised along with Madeline. That would be the only person
who would be considered a sibling. Jennifer said Stephan

Page 36


has been around Steven and his daughter, Ashlynn, a few times. Jennifer said Steven lived in Williamsburg which is by
Sea World. I asked Jennifer if her or Stephan was in contact with Steven and she said yes, by text messages and phone
calls. I asked Jennifer if I could see those messages and she handed me her phone and said yes. I asked Jennifer how
Steven found out about Madeline and she said she told him. Steven was in shock when he heard the news. Jennifer said
she had to go out and purchase some small items and she felt like she shouldn`t be outside, because of the attention this
case has received. Jennifer said she didn`t want to end up hospitalized for her mental health. Detective Smallwood
asked Jennifer what medication she used to help her sleep. Jennifer said it was called Geodon, but the bottle says
Ziprasidone. Jennifer said she has to take it with food and within 30 minutes to an hour she is asleep. Jennifer said
Madeline would take Hydroxyzine for her anxiety and also to help her sleep. Jennifer was asked if Stephan has
attempted to reach out to her since he was arrested and she became upset and said no, and it would be stupid if he did.
Jennifer stated we asked her about Stephan`s sexual kinks and she said she remembered last night that he had an anal
sex kink. Jennifer said she always refused when Stephan would want anal sex with her. Jennifer also remembered that
Stephan would be easily angered and was very irritable and negative about things. Jennifer said Stephan would only get
angry at Madeline over normal parenting things, or if Madeline didn`t want to do what was asked of her. Jennifer stated
she had given Stephan the benefit of the doubt about when he told her he dropped her off at school. Jennifer said
Stephan is a master liar and a master manipulator, and she had recently had this conversation with Chris, Stephan`s
father. Jennifer assumed law enforcement was looking into Stephan because he was the last person to see Madeline, and
she wanted to believe he had nothing to do with her going missing. Jennifer said once we showed her the photographs
Sexual Offense Identity that is when she realized Stephan was guilty. I asked her what she thought Stephan was
guilty of, and she replied "he`s been grooming and abusing my child". I asked Jennifer if she thought Stephan killed
Madeline and she said "at this point, I do". I asked her why she thought that and she said we showed her a photograph
of Madeline slumped over in Stephan`s vehicle. Jennifer said she felt like Stephan dumped her body somewhere, but
she didn`t know where. I pressured Jennifer on where she thought Stephan would have dumped Madeline`s body, and
she kept saying she didn`t know. Jennifer became upset and said she would tell us if she knew because she wanted her
child back. We arrived at the Orange County Sheriff`s Office where Jennifer was taken inside to be interviewed by
Detective O`Malley and Detective Smallwood further.
On March 1, 2024, search teams from the Orange County Sheriff`s Office, the Osceola County Sheriff`s Office and the
Saint Cloud Police Department was dispatched to different areas of the respectful jurisdictions to search for Madeline.
A news conference was held by the Orange County Sheriff`s Office and the Kissimmee Police Department, asking for
the public`s help if they may have witnessed Stephan`s vehicle in the area. It was also released that Stephan may have
been changing his tire on the side of the road.
At approximately 1600 hours, Crime Analyst Donna Sita from the Osceola County Sheriff`s Office contacted a witness,
Thomas Carris. Thomas told Donna he saw a person matching the description of Stephan with a tire iron in his hand
standing next to a silver sedan on Hickory Tree Road. Thomas believed this was on 02/26/2024, at approximately 1320
hours. Thomas provided pictures of the location where he saw this person and pointed out

Page 37


the location on a map to Donna. Donna then relayed this information to other deputies who were searching the area for
Madeline.
Captain Lori Mingone and Sergeant Sharise Swan responded to the area that Thomas identified. Sergeant Swan knew
the property owner who provided access to the locked gates to the property. Captain Mingone walked towards a row of
bamboo trees to the left of the opened gate. Captain Mingone located a small body wearing blue jeans and a green
sweater. The body had dried grass and hay on top of the body. This information was relayed to Major Fred Hinderman,
who notified Captain Schad.
Captain Schad called me to let me know that Madeline`s body was possibly located. I called Major Hinderman, who
provided me with the location of the body they had located.
Detective Smallwood, Corporal Illgen and I, responded to 5670 Hickory Tree Road, where we contacted several
deputies with the Osceola County Sheriff`s Office. It was decided the Osceola County Sheriff`s Office Forensics Unit
would be processing the scene. I asked to be brought to where the body was located. Forensics` supervisor Emily Seda
walked me to the area where the body was. Based upon the clothing description seen on several videos, the body did
appear to be that of Madeline. The lock to the farm was still locked and didn`t appeared to be tampered with. Stephan
would have had to drop Madeline`s body over the barbed wire fence or where the gate was. Then move her body to the
location where she was found. I contacted the Orange/Osceola County Medical Examiner`s Office and asked for them to
respond to collect Madeline.
Medical Examiner Investigator Kiersein Robinson responded and assisted in processing and preserving the body of
Madeline. When Madeline was removed from underneath the dry grass and hay, I immediately was able to identify her
by a specific mole she had on her cheek. Madeline showed signs of decomposition to one side of her face and her hands.
Madeline was wearing a green hoodie (the hoodie portion was over the top of her head), blue jeans and white socks.
The bottom of Madeline`s socks were clean, which indicates she did not walk anywhere, or the socks would have had
dirt on the bottom. Madeline was transported to the Medical Examiner`s Office, where an autopsy would be performed
the following day.
I placed a telephone call to Jennifer to let her know that we had located Madeline and that she was deceased. Jennifer
started to cry over the phone and handed the phone to her father to continue to the conversation. I told him that I would
be in touch with the family in the next day or two.
On March 2, 2024, at approximately 1000 hours, Detective Smallwood and I, responded to the Medical Examiner`s
Office for Madeline`s autopsy. The autopsy was preformed by Dr. Stephan Giles. Prior to the autopsy, I examined
Madeline`s body when it was initially uncovered. I noticed her socks were clean on the bottom, which confirmed my
observations when she was located in Saint Cloud. During the autopsy, Dr. Giles expressed concern over the hyoid bone
in Madeline`s neck. Dr. Giles stated the right portion of the bone was not intact, which could possibly be related to her
being strangled. Dr. Giles listed the initial outcome of the autopsy as pending.

Page 38


On March 4, 2024, at approximately 1509 hours, Detective Smallwood and I contacted Thomas Carris, the witness who
provided the location to Osceola County Deputies. Thomas stated the following in a sworn statement: Thomas stated he
observed the press release in regards to Stephen`s vehicle. Thomas stated he was driving down Hickory Tree Road on
02/24/2024, he noticed the Lincoln on the west side of the road, and a male standing next to the vehicle. The vehicle
had a spare tire on the rear driver`s side. Thomas stated he texted a client of his at 1320 hours, saying that he was 20
minutes away from his house. This would be in the timeframe where Stephan passes Hickory Tree Elementary at 1317
hours. Stephan was shown a photo lineup by Officer Vanessa Carey, in which he positively identified Stephan as the
person who he saw standing next to the Lincoln at 5670 Hickory Tree Road. Thomas drew on a paper the location of
Stephan`s vehicle and identified surrounding trees where Madeline was found. I asked Thomas if anything stood out to
him about Stephan as he passed by. Thomas stated Stephan had a scared look to him, but Thomas thought he was upset
due to the vehicle being broke down on the side of the road.
On March 5, 2024, at 1419 hours, I made contact with Steven Young at the Kissimmee Police Department. Steven was
identified as Jennifer`s ex-husband, prior to Stephan. Stephan was placed under oath and provided the following
statement: Steven stated he married Jennifer in 2015 and divorced in either 2016 or 2017, he wasn`t sure. Steven stated
he met Jennifer through a dating website. Steven stated they lived in Venetian Bay while they were married, in the same
location as Jennifer is living now. When they were living together, it was Steven, Jennifer, Juan (Jennifer`s father),
Madeline and Steven`s daughter Ashlynn Young. Steven stated Juan stayed in the bedroom downstairs, he and Jennifer
stayed in a room upstairs, and both Madeline and Ashlynn had their own bedrooms upstairs as well. I asked Steven how
the relationship with Jennifer was when they were together. Steven stated it was good in the beginning, but later on in
the relationship, Jennifer began having mental health issues. Steven said there were times when he would have to take
care of the household, when Jennifer was having a bad time with her mental health. Steven decided to remove Ashlynn
from that atmosphere, which is when they decided to get divorced. Steven said he considered Madeline as his daughter
due to amount of time they spent together. Ashlynn and Madeline would play games online once a month for a few
years. Steven would join the game just to talk with Madeline. Steven stated he loved and cared about Madeline even
though the relationship with Jennifer didn`t work out. Steven said he thought Madeline was in good hands, so he tried to
become with Stephen since he was going to be in Madeline`s life. Steven said he visited Jennifer and Stephan when
they lived in Northport, Florida. Steven was playing games with Stephan which ended in a small argument. Ever since
the argument of board games, they haven`t spoke since. I asked Steven where he lived when he was living in Florida.
Steven said he lived in an area called Williamsburg, which is near Sea World. Steven would move to Colorado in 2022.
Steven would keep in contact with Madeline and would inquire how she was being treated by Stephan. I asked Steven
to explain the sleeping arrangements when he was living with Jennifer. Steven said Madeline would sleep with Jennifer,
but he wasn`t comfortable with Madeline sleeping with them in the same bed. I asked Steven if he had seen any
demeanor changes with Madeline. Steven said Madeline seemed off for the last few years, which he thought it could
have been Madeline going through puberty, but it started during the end of elementary school. Sexual Offense Identity
Sexual Offense Identity Steven said Jennifer wasn`t different, but she was always trying
to figure out her mental health medications. Jennifer recently disclosed to Steven where a recent medication that she had
been taking knocks her out, meaning tired and sleeping. I asked Steven how he heard about Madeline and he stated that
his wife saw something online. Steven talked with Jennifer on 02/27/2024, when Jennifer

Page 39


stated Stephan took Madeline to school and made a bunch of mistakes afterwards like deleting his phone. Jennifer also
stated Stephan and Madeline both forgot their phones when he took her to school. Steven said he believed Madeline
forgot her phone, but thought it was odd that Stephan forgot his phone because he always had his phone and was typing
on it all the time. Steven said he wanted to make sure the spoke with Jennifer over the phone because he wanted to hear
the tone of her voice. Steven described Jennifer`s tone as being anxious if something was wrong. Steven said they were
speaking over speakerphone and Stephan was with Jennifer. Stephan made the comment that he felt guilty because he
forgot his phone, and then he accidently reset it. Steven couldn`t believe that Stephan was saying over the phone.
Jennifer began saying what time she thought she woke up because of the dog, and Stephan interjected and told her that
he would take care of the dog so she could rest. I asked Steven if he knew why Jennifer didn`t go to Madeline`s birthday
party. Steven said Jennifer`s family can be a lot to handle sometimes, and if she was starting a new job he understood
why she wasn`t there. I asked Steven if he thought Jennifer had anything to do with what happened to Madeline, and he
said he doesn`t feel like she would deliberately known because she had family that could have helped her with the
situation. Steven said Ashlynn is starting to see a new therapist, and he said if she discloses anything related to this case
he would let me know.
On March 6, 2024, at approximately 0906 hours, Detective Smallwood and I responded to 21935 Haynes Avenue, Port
Charlotte, Florida. We contacted Frank Peralta, who had previously called me and said he wanted to speak about
Stephan. Frank was placed under oath and stated the following: Frank stated he found out about Madeline`s death about
three to four days prior to this conversation. Frank stated he saw an article on Google that mentioned her death and he
watched some YouTube videos. Frank stated the people making YouTube videos described Stephan in a way different
than he knew him. Frank said he met Stephan about three years ago because they played the same game called
Warhammer. Frank said he thought some of the interviews were weird because Stephan and Jennifer referred to
themselves as boyfriend and girlfriend. Frank knew they weren`t in a relationship anymore, so he thought it was odd. I
asked Frank if he talked about Jennifer when he hung out with him recently and he said he talked more about Madeline
than Jennifer because they created such a strong bond. Frank thought it was strange because Stephan didn`t work,
however he had the money to purchase items for the multiple games he played. Frank said he knew that Stephan would
take Adderall, because he would be awake all night and would sleep during the day. Frank didn`t know if Stephan took
any type of sleeping medication. I asked Frank if he had any conversations with Stephan about his sex life. Frank stated
no, however they would be out and an adult female would be interested in Stephan and Stephan showed zero interest.
Frank stated Stephan told him the was going to go to Kissimmee the weekend of 02/17/2024, but he didn`t go. Frank
stated Stephan was talking about Madeline when he said he was going to Kissimmee that weekend. Frank said Stephan
was talking about he and Jennifer ending their relationship and Madeline`s name came up during that conversation. He
was more upset about the bond he created with Madeline, than having a relationship with Jennifer. There were no
conversations between Stephan and Jennifer mentioning him going to Kissimmee that weekend. Frank stated he didn`t
know much about the sleeping arrangements when Stephan was living in Kissimmee.
On March 6, 2024, at approximately 1018 hours, Detective Smallwood and I responded to 2341 Snug Street, Northport,
Florida, to speak with Chris Sterns and Debra Sterns, who are the parents of Stephan. Chris stated that he was expecting
to speak with us at some point during this investigation. I told them I was trying to get an

Page 40


understanding of Stephan`s and Jennifer`s relationship. They stated Stephan and Jennifer were together approximately
seven years. Debra stated they didn`t approve of them being together because of drug use. Chris stated it was drug use
as well as Jennifer was taking medication for depression and anxiety, and he didn`t think Jennifer was going to be a
good influence for Stephan. They explained that both Stephan and Jennifer would sleep all the time and it wasn`t a
positive thing for the relationship. When both Stephan and Jennifer would suffer a mental illness episode, they would
bring the other person down with them, and it wasn`t a good dynamic. Chris stated Stephan was diagnosed with sleep
apnea and he would be up all night and then sleep all day. I asked what Stephan would do when he was in town staying
with them, and Chris stated Stephan would lock himself in his bedroom and only come out to eat dinner. Chris stated he
brought Stephan back to Northport from Kissimmee because he was tired of supporting him living with Jennifer. Chris
stated Stephan was sharing a room with Jennifer, but when they split up, Stephan began living in his own room at the
location, so Chris would pay Stephan`s rent of $600 a month. Chris said when Stephan moved back to their house,
Stephan would lock himself in his room and they were always tension due to his sleeping disorder. Chris said when
Stephan moved back to Northport, he and Jennifer were supposed to be broken up. I asked Chris if Stephan ever said
they were officially broken up and he said yes and no. Chris stated Jennifer told him the week prior to Stephan coming
to Kissimmee for this incident, that Jennifer told him she didn`t want Stephan as a partner and he wouldn`t be a good
partner for her. Chris said he assumed they were officially ended their relationship because Stephan had recently been
seeing another female. I asked how many times Stephan went to Kissimmee after he moved back home. They stated he
went to Kissimmee three different times including this most recent time. Once being during Thanksgiving and the other
was Christmas. Debra stated in the last year or so, Madeline began showing signs of being bipolar. I asked if she
witnessed Jennifer and Madeline "butting" heads as previously mentioned, and she said no. Debra said she would only
hear them arguing over the phone. Debra stated she didn`t think Madeline was a very social person and she didn`t have
many friends. This was odd because Madeline had several friends at her current school. I asked when Madeline,
Jennifer and Stephan were visiting Northport, if any of them took any medication to fall asleep and Debra said no.
Debra said Stephan was prescribed an anit-anxiety medication and ADHD medication. But neither one of them knew
that Stephan or Jennifer`s medical routines were. I asked if Stephan would drive the silver Lincoln to Kissimmee when
he visited Jennifer. Chris said that he would drive Chris`s Lincoln because he didn`t trust Stephan`s vehicle. I asked
why Stephan went to Kissimmee this most recent time and Chris said it was for Madeline`s birthday. Debra stated
Madeline called Stephan on 02/24/2024, to make sure that he was coming. Chris said something was odd with Stephan
and he was very upset. Stephan was anxiously looking for anxiety medication from Chris and Debra, but was
unsuccessful. Chris said Stephan looked very stressed out on Saturday (02/24/2024) evening. Chris said he felt that
Stephan was more stressed out over something rather than upset at something, but had no idea what was stressing him
out. I asked when did they hear about what happened with Madeline`s disappearance, and Chris said he spoke with
Stephan when he arrived in Kissimmee on 02/25/2024. Chris said he tried to get a hold of Stephan several times on
Monday (02/26/2024) morning, but he didn`t get an answer. Stephan called Chris at 1517 hours and Stephan`s voice
seemed a little off to Chris. During that conversation, Stephan tells Chris that he got a flat tire somewhere on Highway
192. Stephan tells Chris that he changed the tire but got injured during the process due to pinching his finger between
the jack and the vehicle. Stephan then calls Chris back at 1654 hours, and Stephan tells Chris that there has been "an
occurrence" and he was on his way to Madeline`s grandmothers house. Chris thought that was a strange use of words.
Stephan then tells Chris the story of him dropping Madeline off near the school

Page 41


because she didn`t want to be seen in his car. Chris thought it was strange that two incidents happened during the same
day. Stephan tells Chris that Madeline had not been in school all day and the area where she was dropped off at was a
known area for kidnappings and abductions. The area of Hunters Creek Middle School is an upper middle-class
neighborhood, and not an area like Stephan told Chris. During the conversation, Chris said Stephan was upset as if he
was holding himself responsible for Madeline`s disappearance. Chris said he felt that Stephan was rehearsing his story
on him because it was the same routine that he used during Stephan`s statement during a media interview on Tuesday
(02/27/2024). Chris would speak with Stephan over the phone a few more times during Monday and Tuesday. Chris
would ask what Stephan and Jennifer have done to help find Madeline, and when it was mentioned law enforcement
wanted Stephan`s phone, Chris advised him to hand his phone over if there wasn`t anything incriminating on it. Stephan
then told Chris that he accidently reset his phone when doing an update, Chris thought it was bullshit and said there was
no way to accidently do that. I asked Chris why he went to Kissimmee, and he said Stephan told him they were getting
kicked out of their home and had to stay in a hotel. This is when the residence was secured for a search warrant. Chris
went to Kissimmee to assist Stephan and Jennifer for whatever they needed. Chris said when he left, he couldn`t lock
the front door because the batteries were dead in the electronic lock, so he advised Debra of the issue. When Chris got
to Kissimmee, he met up with Stephan and Jennifer and they had a small discussion on the probable interviews that may
take place the following day and they went to their respective rooms. Chris said he got a call from Jennifer the
following morning (02/28/2024), asking if Stephan was with him. Chris and Jennifer met in the lobby and Chris asked
Jennifer if her car keys were in the room and she says no. Jennifer received a phone call from a detective saying they are
wanting to conduct an interview; however, Stephan was not there. Chris became concerned at that point thinking
Stephan was going to look guilty. Stephan eventually shows up to the hotel and told a story that he got lost. Chris didn`t
believe the story because Jennifer`s car has a GPS feature which would provide accurate directions. Chris was able to
speak with Detective Alex Richards, who advised Chris that Stephan was in Northport early Wednesday morning.
Detective Richards told Chris they had information that Stephan possibly went to his storage facility located at 1001
Executive Avenue, #124, Northport, Florida. Chris said Stephan would have been disappointed because there was no
way to gain access into their home because the only way inside would have been through the garage, which he didn`t
have remote for. Chris stated when Stephan eventually made it back to the hotel, he went to sleep and there was no
waking him up. I asked Chris why Stephan would come to the house, and he said the only reason would be to possibly
steal something to get money. I asked if they have spoke with Jennifer since Stephan was arrested and Chris stated they
exchanged a few texts. Debra asked if we spoke to Jennifer about what happened after Madeline`s birthday party. Debra
stated Jennifer told them she asked Madeline to go sleep with Stephan in his room, and Debra was not ok with that and
that was another reason they wanted Stephan to come back to their home to stay. I asked them if Stephan had any
medication prescribed to him when the came to Kissimmee and he said no. Stephan was having a lapse in insurance
coverage. I asked Chris when Northport Police Department contacted him, did he give them a desktop computer and he
said yes. Chris said they gave Northport Police Department full access to Stephan`s room, but it did not appear they
took anything of evidentiary value other than the computer that Chris gave them. Chris went on to say that Jennifer
should not have been acting they way she was after just learning that Sexual Offense Identity Then
also stated he thought everything that Stephan would say was a lie and he didn`t know what to believe, especially
during the media interview. Detective Smallwood asked them if they thought Stephan would be capable of doing
something like this, and Debra said no, and she thought it may have

Page 42


been an accident.
After the interview was concluded, Detective Smallwood and I responded to the Northport Police Department, where
we collected the tower computer and power cord collected from Stephan`s room. The computer was delivered to the
Kissimmee Police Department and submitted into evidence.
On March 7, 2024, at approximately 1038 hours, I contacted Nathalie Rosero, who is a roommate that lived at 4012
Santa Maria Drive. Nathalie provided the following in a sworn statement: Nathalie stated she has known Jennifer for
years because she was friends with Jennifer`s sister. Nathalie moved into the residence in the beginning of 2022.
Nathalie stated Stephan was already living at the residence, but she didn`t communicate with him outside of saying
hello and goodbye. Nathalie would spend most of her time in her own bedroom with her son. Jennifer confided in
Nathalie that Stephan wasn`t maintaining a job to help provide for the household. That is when Stephan moved upstairs
away from Jennifer and eventually moving out of the residence and back to his mother and father`s residence. Nathalie
stated her work schedule and morning routine are consistent because it had to be for her son. Nathalie stated she makes
it a point to be out of the house by 0745 hours, because she has to drop off her son before she goes to work. Nathalie
stated Madeline is normally waking up as she is leaving for the day, and she would sometimes see her. I asked if she
ever seen Madeline getting ready for school, and she said that Madeline would typically get ready for school in
Jennifer`s bedroom. I asked Nathalie if she has ever seen Madeline be alone with Stephan, and she could only remember
one time they were inside of his room playing video games. Nathalie text Jennifer asking if she was good with Madeline
being in the room alone with Stephan, and Jennifer replied saying thank you. I asked Nathalie if Jennifer takes
medication, and she said she thought she took medication to help with her ADHD and sleeping habits. Nathalie
described an incident where she tried waking Jennifer up in the middle of the night because someone tried breaking into
her car. Nathalie stated it was very hard to wake Jennifer up, and believed it was because of the medication. Nathalie
stated during the evening of 02/26/2024, Nathalie told Jennifer that she would help pass out flyers on 02/27/2024, or do
whatever else that needed done to find Madeline. That is when Stephan looks at Nathalie and asks her "Are you ok?".
Nathalie became annoyed and told him no. Nathalie was bothered with this question from Stephan, and thought the
question was odd. Nathalie described Jennifer as being "in pieces" meaning very upset about Madeline`s disappearance,
and Stephan was acting like he was concerned. I asked Nathalie if she has ever known Madeline want to go to school
early, and she said no. Nathalie stated she did not think Jennifer had anything to do with Madeline`s death, and became
very emotional saying they love their kids.
On March 7, 2024, at approximately 1307 hours, Detective Reyes Soto an I contacted Angelica to conduct a follow up
interview. It appeared that Angelica was moving out of the residence she shared with Jennifer and Madeline. I wanted
to confirm the timeline we had previously spoke about. Angelica stated she got home from work on 02/25/2024, at
approximately 2300 to 2330 hours. I asked if she seen anyone when she got home and she said no, but could hear
people upstairs. I asked Angelica if Jennifer`s door was open and she described it as being cracked open slightly.
Angelica stated she went to sleep around 0230, which is she was hearing noises coming from Stephan`s room. She
described the noises as of someone was putting stuff on a table, which in order for her to hear noises it would have to be
significant based upon the noise would have to travel through two closed doors and

Page 43


across a hallway. Angelica stated if Jennifer is awake, the television would be on or a light would be on in her room.
Which when she got home, neither were on, which led Angelica to believe Jennifer was sleeping. Angelica said she did
see the light on in Stephan`s bedroom when she got home. Angelica said she woke up around 0930 the next morning.
She eventually went downstairs to make breakfast and she seen Stephan. Angelica said Stephan was going in and out of
the house and up and down the stairs. The next time she seen Stephan was around 1330 to 1400 hours, and Stephan was
washing clothes. I asked Angelica about the sleeping arrangements, and she said all three of them would sleep together.
They made a small space for Madeline to sleep in the living room, but she didn`t like it so she would sleep with
Jennifer. I asked if she ever witnessed Stephan and Madeline go into Stephan`s bedroom by themselves, and she said
yes. Jennifer would be at the house when this occurred. Angelica said she had a conversation with Jennifer about
Stephan and Madeline going into the same room together and Jennifer would tell her that Stephan would never harm
Madeline, so she was ok with it happening. Angelica stated she had another conversation with Jennifer about her sexual
interactions or lack there of with Stephan. Angelica said they didn`t have sexual relations often and that is why she
didn`t want to be with him any longer. When Stephan was told he had to move out of the house, Angelica stated he was
not happy. Madeline did not appear to be upset with Stephan moving out of the house. I asked Angelica what
Madeline`s routine would be when she would wake up for school. Angelica said Madeline would go to her portion of
the living room and get dressed. She would eat breakfast and Jennifer would let her sleep a little while longer before
they left to school. Angelica stated she has never seen Stephan take Madeline to school. I asked Angelica how Jennifer
was acting from what happened. She said Jennifer was "bad" and she couldn`t believe this was happening.
Over the next couple weeks, I reviewed the cellular phone data that was extracted from Stephen, Jennifer and
Madeline`s phones.
Madeline`s phone revealed the following:
On 12/16/2023, at 0047 hours, Madeline sends a text message to Stephan that contained a photograph of two coins. The
Detailed information about steps in the health application for iPhone during the timeframe between 02/25/2024 at 2030
hours and 02/26/2024 at 1600 hours:
02/25/2024 at 2209 hours - 9 steps taken
02/25/2024 at 2319 hours - 31 steps taken and 1 floor climbed, which matched the time when Jennifer sent Madeline
and Stephan upstairs to go to sleep.
02/26/2024 at 0705 hours - 113 steps
02/26/2024 at 0715 hours- 50 steps
02/26/2024 at 1055 hours - 8 steps, which is when Stephan is back at the residence.

Page 44


02/26/2024 at 1437 hours - 54 steps, which is when Jennifer would be taking Madeline`s phone to her when she left to
go pick her up from school.
02/26/2024 at 1703 hours were the next steps counted
Madeline`s phone was plugged in to charge on 02/25/2024 at 2338 hours. Madeline`s phone is unplugged from the
charger on 02/26/2024 at 0704 hours. The phone is then powered off at 0716 hours. This pattern of Madeline`s cellular
phone use is not typical of her normal day. Which shows this activity was not physically done by Madeline. On
02/26/2024, at 1055 hours, is the next time Madeline`s cellular phone is turned back on, which coincides with the 8
steps it moved at the same time. Stephan and Angelica would have been the only people in the house at that time, and
per Angelica`s statement, she was inside of her bedroom during this time and only seen Stephan while he was doing
laundry.
Upon reviewing Stephan`s cellular phone download, the following was observed: On 02/26/2024 at 1212 hours, a
factory reset was done on the phone. This can only be accomplished by navigating to the settings option in the phone,
tapping general management, swipe and tap reset, the tap factory data reset, and then review the information. Once
reviewing the information is complete, swipe and tap reset. If there is a password on the phone, at this time a person
would have to enter their password. This shows that Stephan could not have accidently reset his phone, as it has nothing
to do with a phone update as he stated during his previous statements made under oath. Another factory reset was done
on Stephan`s cellular phone on 02/27/2024 at 0000 hours. This would be the timeframe of his last statements to law
enforcement and before he drove Jennifer`s car to Saint Cloud. Also, on Stephan`s cellular phone was over 1000 images
in a Sexual Offense in his photographs, most of these photographs are sexually graphic in nature. These images will be
described upon reviewing Stephan`s Google information. Stephan also searches Sevoflurane on two different dates:
02/12/2024 and 02/14/2024. Sevoflurane is a volatile anesthetic that provides hypnosis, amnesia, analgesia, akinesia,
and autonomic blockade during surgical and procedural interventions. Clinical uses include inhalational induction of
general anesthesia in neonatal and pediatric patients secondary to IV`s. This information was obtained by Google. It is
unknown why Stephan would be searching this item using the search terms of "show up in drug test", when he wasn`t
attempting to get a job or he didn`t have any children that were having surgery.
Upon reviewing Jennifer`s cellular phone download, the following was observed: Jennifer would set an alarm at 0730
hours, on days that she would bring Madeline to school. There were messages between Jennifer and Stephan on
02/25/2024, starting at 2339 hours, that stated the following:
02/25/2024 at 2339 hours - Jennifer text Stephan "Make sure she goes to bed right now"
02/25/2024 at 2339 hours - Stephan replies "Ok sweetie, goodnight"
02/25/2024 at 2339 hours - Jennifer replies "Goodnight"
02/25/2024 at 2340 hours - Stephan texts Jennifer "She`s built her nest and she`s settling in now"
02/25/2024 at 2340 hours - Jennifer replies "Ok good"
These messages confirm what Jennifer stated during interviews, that Stephan and Madeline were alone in his

Page 45


bedroom prior to her death the following morning.
On 02/25/2024, Jennifer set her cellular phone on a wireless charger at 2354 hours. On 02/26/2024, Jennifer set an
alarm to go off at 0900 hours. The alarm was removed from the notifications while still on the wireless charger. On
02/26/2024, at 0919 hours, Jennifer`s cellular phone was physically removed from the wireless charger. This is
consistent with her daily activities with removing the alarm notifications, or snoozing the alarm. There were several
other messages between her and Stephan regarding Madeline sleeping in the same room together. There was also text
messages between Stephan and Jennifer claiming Stephan gave Madeline an extra dose of her medication when it was
not necessary.
I was able to search through images on Stephan`s Google account that was recovered from a lawful search warrant
submitted by the Orange County Sheriff`s Office. I observed the following videos/images of high interest:
File name: 20190702_205542-1fmeiswnlg1r6

There were hundreds of other images containing Madeline within Stephan`s Google account, with most of them
depicting sexual activity. A copy of Stephan`s Google account was submitted into evidence.
On March 12, 2024, at approximately 1239 hours, Detective Smallwood and I responded to Hunters Creek Middle
school to interview classmates of Madeline. We contacted Sydney Snyder, who stated she didn`t have any classes with
Madeline and would only see her in passing at school. Sydney stated she was friends with some of Madeline`s friends
and that is how she met her. Sydney stated the last time she spoke with Madeline was on 02/23/2024, when they were
talking about a boy she liked named Miguel. Sydney said she got a lot of her information from Sage, who was
Madeline`s best friend. It appeared that Sydney did not have any pertinent information regarding this case.
We then contacted Ireland Shaw, who identified herself as one of Madeline`s friends. Ireland stated Madeline was
typically a happy person, however she wouldn`t talk to her on a personal level. She knew Madeline had a birthday
party, but didn`t know who attended. Ireland confirmed Sage was Madeline`s best friend. It appeared that Ireland did
not have any pertinent information regarding this case.
On March 13, 2024, at approximately 0900 hours, Detective Pinnell and I responded to 6080 Hickory Tree Road, where
we contacted Sylvana Vester. The Kissimmee Police Department received a tip about this case that mentioned Sylvana,
who possibly had information regarding Madeline. I asked Sylvana if she could provide me with some insight on
Madeline`s family. Sylvana stated she has known the family for approximately two years, which would put Madeline
around 11 years old. Sylvana stated she would go hiking with Jennifer and Madeline in the area of Lake Lizzie (Saint
Cloud, Florida). Sylvana stated Jennifer started dating Stephan and she didn`t think very highly of him because he
didn`t have a job, and all he would spend most of his time painting figurines. I asked who would come to this area to
visit when they went hiking. Sylvana stated it would only be Jennifer and Madeline, Stephan never once went with
them. Sylvana did not know why Stephan would be in Saint Cloud, because according to her he does not have any ties
to that area.
On March 13, 2026, at approximately 1600 hours, Detective Kaluszkin and I responded to 14577 Caplock Drive,
Orlando, Florida to make contact with Sage Ellis. Sage was identified as Madeline`s best friend by multiple people.
Sage was placed under oath to obtain the following statement: I explained to Sage and her mother that was

Page 47


present, that I understood that she was previously interviewed by detectives from the Orange County Sheriff`s Office. I
had to clarify a couple of items she had previously discussed. I asked who else was at Madeline`s birthday party other
than her family. Sage stated another girl from their school, Emily, was there. Sage did not know Emily`s last name. I
asked Sage how Madeline was acting at her party, and she stated when she got there, she was kind of acting upset. But
when Emily got there, she changed her demeanor and began to act happy. I advised Sage that she had previously
mentioned her and Madeline may have been on the same menstrual cycle, meaning they got their period at or near the
same time monthly. Sage clarified that Madeline got her period in January, but she didn`t know if she got her period in
February or not. Sage then explained that Madeline was upset because some of her friends cancelled going to her party
the day before. Sage assumed Madeline was upset at the party because Jennifer was not there. Sage stated whenever she
woke up, she would always have text messages from Madeline. This would occur everyday according to Sage. But Sage
did not receive a message from Madeline on 02/26/2024.
On March 14, 2024, Corporal Edward Diehl authored a search warrant to obtain the fingerprints of Stephan. The
warrant was signed by the Honorable Judge John Beamer.
On March 15, 2024, at approximately 0941 hours, Detective Acevedo and I responded to the Osceola County Jail to
execute the search warrant for Stephan`s fingerprints. Crime Scene Technician Alex Figueroa and Supervisor Isabel
Johnson also responded to collect the fingerprints. Stephan was provided a copy of the signed search warrant and he
cooperated while his fingerprints were collected. Once the fingerprints were collected, Stephan was escorted to his
portion of the jail.
On March 20, 2024, at approximately 1356 hours, Detective Smallwood and I responded to 4030 Packard Avenue, Saint
Cloud, Florida, where we contacted Walter Roska. Walter had previously called in a tip regarding possibly seeing
Stephan changing his tire. Walter stated the following under oath: Walter stated he saw the media release about
attempting to identify Stephan and his vehicle and where he may have changed his tire. Walter said he noticed a person
resembling Stephan and the vehicle mentioned on the side of the road just south of Hickory Tree Road and Old Hickory
Tree Road. Walter didn`t think anything about it and continued driving. Walter mentioned he seen this vehicle at
approximately 1200 hours, on 02/26/2024. It is unknown if Walter was unsure about his timeframe, due to the fact that
Stephan was not in that area at 1200 hours, based upon security footage and cell phone data.
On March 28, 2024, the Honorable Judge J. Bigney signed a search warrant for Madeline`s medical records. The
warrant was executed at 102 Park Place Boulevard #D1, Kissimmee, Florida 34741 (OPA Behavioral Health). I was
provided her medical records upon execution of the warrant. Upon reviewing Madeline`s medical records, it appears
that she was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety disorder. These records were submitted into evidence at the Kissimmee
Police Department. The Honorable Judge J. Bigney also singed a search warrant for the Fitbit device that Stephan was
wearing during the time he was with Madeline on 02/26/2024. This warrant was sent to Google who provides the
records for Fitbit.
On March 29, 2024, I received the case synopsis from the medical examiner`s office. Dr. Giles ruled the cause of

Page 48


death as strangulation and the manner of death is homicide.
On 04/10/2024, at 1453 hours. Stephan calls Chris Sterns, using inmate identification 1419688. 12:57 minutes into the
call Stephan tells Chris, "you know that I would have never wanted that for her", meaning Madeline. Stephan then says
"I am not sure really that any one person is specifically responsible, its probably a combination of factors that led to it",
"I have never felt anything like that before, it was horrible". Chris tells Stephan that he hopes the truth will come out,
and Stephan responds "Well, yeah", as if he was dodging that statement. This call was downloaded and submitted into
Evidence.com.
On April 11, 2024, I received a message from Chris stating he had an update regarding this case. I contacted Chris by
telephone who stated he was cleaning out the storage unit he had on Executive Avenue. Chris stated he opened one of
the storage bins and located a hard drive that would be normally housed in a desktop computer. In the same storage bin
Chris located a watch, that Stephan previously told Chris during a phone call from the Osceola County Jail was in his
bedroom. Chris stated Stephan must have gained access to the storage unit when he made the trip to Northport on
02/28/2024. I told Chris that I would have a Detective from Northport Police Department contact him to arrange a time
to retrieve the hard drive. Chris previously stated he witnessed Stephan using his desk top computer on 02/24/2024, and
he never gained access to the residence after leaving to Kissimmee on 02/25/2024. It appears that Stephan had
intentionally removed the hard drive from his computer in an attempt to conceal the contents.
On April 12, 2024, I drove to Northport Police Department to retrieve the items that Chris provided to Detective`s.
There was a hard drive that appeared to be removed from a desk top or tower computer and two other USB drives. A
search warrant will be obtained to retrieve the contents of those drives.
On April 15, 2024, the Honorable Judge Michael Murphy, signed a search warrant for the hard drive and two USB
drives collected from Chris. These items were delivered to Agent Georgie Torres with the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement to be examined.
On April 17, 2024, the Honorable Judge Michael Murphy, signed a search warrant to obtain the iCloud records from
Apple for Jennifer and Madeline. The search warrant was submitted to Apple via email.
On April 18, 2024, at approximately 0830 hours, Jennifer and her attorney Matthews Bark, arrived at the Kissimmee
Police Department, based upon an investigative subpoena that was issued by the State Attorney`s Office. Due to
technical issues with State Attorney Will Jay`s computer, the interview was moved to the State Attorney`s Office at the
Osceola County Courthouse. The interview was led by State Attorney Will Jay. Will placed Jennifer under oath who
swore to tell the truth during the interview. Will asked Jennifer if she was working on the night of 02/25/2024, at
Disney and she stated yes and she got home approximately 2230 hours. Jennifer stated when she got home, Stephan and
Madeline were the only people downstairs. Jennifer could not remember what either Stephan or Madeline were wearing
when she got home from work. Will asked Jennifer if she remember if Madeline was wearing a green sweatshirt when
she got home from work and she stated no, she was not wearing

that. Jennifer stated Madeline would have been wearing whatever clothes she would be sleeping in. Jennifer could not
remember what time Stephan got to the residence. Jennifer stated she was in her bedroom with Stephan and Madeline
approximately 30 minutes before she sent them upstairs to go to bed. Will asked Jennifer why Stephan wasn`t invited to
the party, and she stated because her mother doesn`t get along with Stephan. Jennifer stated she instructed Madeline to
take her night time medication when she got home, which Jennifer states she allows Madeline to do time to time.
Jennifer stated Madeline takes Hydroxyzine and MiraLax. Jennifer stated since Madeline has been staying with her
mother, she hasn`t been taking the MiraLax consistently. Will asked Jennifer if Madeline normally sets out her clothes
the night before and if she makes the decision in the morning. Jennifer stated the decision is typically made in the
morning. Jennifer stated since she knew Stephan was going to be taking Madeline to school, she asked her to set out
clothes to have everything ready to go. Jennifer did not know if Madeline took clothes with her upstairs to Stephan`s
bedroom. Jennifer states she does not have any further communication with Stephan or Madeline after the last text from
Stephan stating Madeline has built her nest. The next time Jennifer sees Stephan is when he is trying to put the leash on
their dog in the morning time of 02/26/2024. Jennifer states she does not use her phone or gets up during the night
because she was sleeping the entire night. Jennifer confirmed that she only got up out of bed when Stephan was trying
to put the leash on the dog, but Stephan told her to go back to bed, so she laid back down and went to sleep. Jennifer
said she heard someone in the kitchen, but did not know who it was. Will asked Jennifer if Madeline would have come
into her room to tell her goodbye when she left for school. Jennifer stated she would have hoped she would have.
Jennifer said she is woken up by her alarm clock that was set for 0900 hours. Jennifer stated she didn`t remember if she
saw anyone that morning, but she thinks she may have seen one of her roommates. Jennifer stated she didn`t receive any
communication from Madeline the morning of 02/26/2024. Jennifer stated the first time she communicated with
Stephan was approximately 1000 hours, when he told her that he left his phone at the house. Stephan told Jennifer that
Madeline had a good morning and that he was going to take her to McDonalds, but she changed her mind and all she
wanted to do was sleep in the car. Jennifer was asked to confirm if she went anywhere else when she left to go to her
doctor`s appointment and she said no. Jennifer said she was supposed to have another appointment later that day but
canceled it due to the cost of the appointment. Jennifer said when she got home Stephan was at the residence. She said
Stephan was wearing a red shirt with some sort of graphic on it. Jennifer said Stephan was acting normal. He told her
after he dropped Madeline off at school he went to the vape store and they were not open. He said he waited a while
then left and drove around before going back to the residence. Stephan then told Jennifer that he was going to run a few
more errands somewhere on Highway 192, and she asked him if he was going to be back in time to go get Madeline
from school. Stephan told her that he would be back by 1430 hours. While they were speaking in Jennifer`s bedroom,
that is when Stephan told Jennifer that he accidently did a factory reset on his phone. Stephan then leaves the residence
and Jennifer stays home. Jennifer then starts to call and text Stephan to see if he was going to be home soon to go get
Madeline from school, but he doesn`t respond. Shortly after Jennifer leaves to go get Madeline, Stephan calls Jennifer
and tells him that he accidently left his phone at home again. Jennifer said at some point during the morning she was
putting stuff away and noticed Madeline`s phone on her dresser, so she picked it up and brought it with her to the
school. Will asked Jennifer why she asked Stephan to help her with Madeline while she was training at work. Jennifer
said if Madeline stays with her mother, she doesn`t get to see her much. So, if Stephan watched Madeline, she would be
able to see her more at home. Jennifer was asked if she knew the plans about getting McDonalds in the morning of
02/26/2024. Jennifer said they talked about it the night

before, but they didn`t talk about when they would leave the residence. Will asked Jennifer if Madeline ever had side
effects of the hydroxyzine, and she said if Madeline took the medication later than normal she would feel sluggish. Will
then asked Jennifer why she let Stephan still stay in the home after they ended their relationship. Jennifer stated she
considered Stephan as one of her best friends. Jennifer said she didn`t want to see him revert back to his mental health
issues like he has previously. Will then asked Jennifer about Madeline`s sleeping habits. Jennifer stated Madeline would
sleep with her a majority of the time, and when Stephan began staying there, the three of them would sleep in the same
bed. Jennifer stated Madeline never wanted to sleep alone in her bedroom. Jennifer couldn`t remember how many times
she left Madeline sleep with Stephan alone in his bedroom. Jennifer stated she allowed it because she trusted Stephan,
and he treated her as his daughter. When Jennifer stated she and Stephan ended their relationship, Madeline had an idea
but never spoke about it. Jennifer said she spoke with Stephan about possibly moving back to help him get on his feet,
but she didn`t know if it was going to be permanent or temporary. Will asked Jennifer if she knew that Madeline was
being abused by Stephan prior to the interview at the Orange County Sheriff`s Office and she said no. Will stated
Jennifer text Madeline`s father about not wanting her to be filmed underneath bathroom doors. Jennifer stated she had
just heard a story about someone filming in bathrooms on an airplane. Jennifer was asked why Stephan didn`t take her
car to take Madeline to school and she said that Stephan was not on her insurance, so she didn`t want to take that risk.
Will asked Jennifer again if she ever seen Madeline the morning of 02/26/2024, and she said not. Jennifer also stated
that she didn`t know about how she died. I asked Jennifer how many times Stephan came to Kissimmee after he moved
out and she said two to three times. Jennifer also stated bedroom four was empty, but there were white colored sheets
that was on his bed, but she didn`t know if Stephan used any other blankets.
On April 22, 2024, I responded to FDLE and made contact with Agent Torres to retrieve the downloads from the two
USB drives and hard drive. Upon reviewing the data from the USB drives, one of the drives was empty and the other
drive contained over 35000 images of child pornography. It did not appear that Sexual was in any of those images.
The hard drive was not used since 2020, and it did not contain anything of evidentiary value.
On April 24, 2024, this case was brought before a grand jury and Stephan Sterns was indicted on First Degree Pre
Meditated Murder.
On April 30, 2024, the Honorable Judge Vincent Chiu signed search warrants for Madeline`s pediatrician and
gastroenterologist doctors. A supplement will be completed with the results of the medical records.
This supplement will be forwarded to the State Attorney`s Office.
