Welcome to Surviving The Survivor, the podcast that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime.

Newly released police interrogation footage reveals intense questioning of Jennifer Soto and her boyfriend, Stephan Sterns, as investigators pressed for answers in the disappearance and murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto. Sterns, who initially claimed he dropped Maddie Soto off at school, was confronted with damning evidence—her backpack found in the trash. When authorities arrested him, they also charged him with capital sexual battery and possession of child pornography. The state is now seeking the death penalty for Sterns.

Meanwhile, investigators grilled Madeline’s mother, Jennifer Soto, about her possible knowledge of the years of alleged abuse. Did she truly have no idea, or was she protecting a predator?

We break down the chilling new details with two of the best in the business and get their expert analysis on what the interviews tell us about Madeline Soto, what happened to her--and whether or not Maddie's mom knew more than she lead on.
