A case of innocence betrayed. This Florida Man Friday episode of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide plunges into the abyss of a heinous crime of Kissimmee, Florida.
Ky guides us through the narrative of 13-year-old Madeline Matte Soto’s disappearance and the subsequent unraveling of a disturbing truth. Last seen alive in the company of her mother’s boyfriend, 37-year-old Stefan Stearns, Madeline’s fate takes a dark turn as investigators uncover deleted images on Stearns’ phone and chilling evidence pointing to his guilt.
With a trail of digital breadcrumbs, the case against Stearns mounts revealed a monstrous pattern of abuse. Charged with a litany of sex crimes and facing capital punishment, Stearns becomes the focal point of an inquiry into the disappearance of an innocent child.
