A mother in Orange County is begging for help locating her missing daughter.

Madeline ‘Maddie’ Soto was last seen on Monday, one day after she and her family celebrated her 13th birthday. Maddie’s mother, Jenn Soto, said surveillance video shows Maddie hanging out in a church parking lot on February 26 after being dropped off for school, but she never made it inside.

Jenn Soto said sheriff’s deputies are using K9s and a piece of Maddie’s clothing to try to track her scent near Town Loop Boulevard.

(Her mother says that she forgot to take her phone that morning, but that isn't unusual.)

Allowing Madeline Soto's mother to be discussed as a possible suspect.

Because mainstream media reports, including WFTV 9 of Jennifer Soto giving law enforcement information that "does not add up," we will allow Jennifer to be discussed as a possible suspect.

This DOES NOT mean you are allowed to make up names to be used instead of her real name (momster), and it does not mean that you can be snarky and mean.

You can discuss her conflicting stories when it comes to the disappearance and murder of her daughter, Madeline, and what the implications of those conflicting stories could mean.

Please discuss this like adults without name-calling or personal snark.

Thank you,

Since Madeline's mother, JS, has stated on her social media that she is bipolar we will allow links to her social media.

“Likely, between now and that date, new charges will be added,” Longwell said. “I am not privy to the evidence but, I suspect right now, the prosecutors are piecing together the next level of charges, which would have to do with the homicide.”

“If someone gives it over, there are a lot of questions,” Longwell said. “It’s one thing with representations in police reports is one perspective. There’s the perspective of the person who consented or gave over a phone during an interrogation can be completely different.”

Interesting that this statement was made before an autopsy was completed. So could there have been visible signs? How else can they say that?

Answering your Q here, @ttjo, since the last thread shut the door on me.

Your Q: Where were any of them between 7:35 and 8:19 when he is (returning ?) to the complex with her visible in the car? Why returning and Returning from where?

IMO, he was returning from pretending to drop her off at the church, and then for whatever reason he then drove by the school because he was caught on license plate reader doing so at 8:10am, per the info in Case: 2024 CF 000643



It is also my belief that that is when he was going to dump her somewhere, and for whatever reason he changed his mind (got spooked by something?) and returned home with her (seen on vid returning at 8:19am). And it's also my opinion that his "errands" he said he ran, before returning to the house around 2:30 and remaining for the rest of the day, were to finally dispose of Maddie's body.

Thank you, That one news article ( I will post) that stated the 8:10am plate reader statement was retracted threw me too. Wow, you have to be so careful what you read or know as fact.

Does anyone have a link showing the investigating agency has released the manner of death as homicide, or are we just assuming since they're calling it a homicide investigation? The latter obviously makes sense but I'm unaware if MOD has officially been released by LE.

Agree but it also states : "homicide" investigation. Not saying that is an official declaration, but could be why everyone is saying it's a homicide tho. note: Mina simply calls it an investigation.

 

[Vanilletx]

I remember a press statement in the past week that said that she had died at her home, by homicide. Anyone remember this?

No need to post the article again. I answered your question asking about the redaction in thread #3. As stated in my old thread... this is JMO.

People have asked this question and unless we got a more clear answer when I wasn't looking, people say it was maybe because she was working. But if she was working from home for Disney on a Sunday night (I think) could she not have taken her laptop to where the party was? MOO. I'm wondering...

I’ve only seen that they’re investigating it as a homicide. I think people just ran with that statement

I remember a press statement that said she had died in her home. I don't remember the homicide bit, but as they are investigating it as a homicide, you are probably right.

My memory was faulty please disregard
