Fox News
Stephan Sterns, 38, is charged with first-degree murder, among dozens of other sexual charges, in the death of his girlfriend's teen daughter, Madeline "Maddie" Soto, Florida authorities announced.
Soto, who was found dead on March 1, was allegedly killed by Sterns sometime between Feb. 25 and Feb. 27, according to the indictment obtained by FOX 13 Tampa Bay.
"The evidence shows an individual that was entrusted to keep Madeline safe made calculated moves to dispose Madeline's belongings and place her body in a wooded area before she was ever reported missing," Kissimmee Police Chief Betty Holland said during a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
