Explosive new jailhouse phone calls have surfaced from Stephan Sterns, the man accused of murdering 13-year-old Madeline Soto in one of Florida’s most heartbreaking child homicide cases. In the disturbing conversations with his parents, Sterns makes chilling admissions — including that Maddie “was beyond saving,” denies direct responsibility, and hints at dark family dynamics involving her mother. He also discusses the disturbing images found on his phone and whether he’s ready to face the death penalty. Meanwhile, Sterns’ attempt to ban the media from his upcoming May trial has been denied. We dig into the case and the meaning behind these jail calls with top criminal experts and psychologists.#MadelineSoto #StephanSterns #OrlandoCrime #TrueCrime #ChildMurderCase #DeathPenaltyTrial #JusticeForMaddie #SurvivingTheSurvivor #CourtroomDrama #JailhouseCalls #TrueCrimePodcast #FloridaCrime #ElectraComplex #MurderTrial

Wendi Adelson’s Book “This Is Our Story”: Fiction or Foreshadowing?
#STSNation! Welcome to the show that promises to bring you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending criminal cases. Wendi Adelson once called her ex-husband, Dan Markel, her “latex spouse” in a writer’s workshop—not long after his murder. Now her novel, This Is Our Story, is potentially at the center of her mother Donna Adelson’s upcoming murder-for-hire trial. As the judge weighs whether Wendi’s novel should be admissible as evidence, STS dives deep into its pages. We’re joined by two leading psychologists and a sharp legal mind to analyze Wendi’s fiction—and whether it offers a disturbing window into real-life motives and family dynamics. Did the novel foreshadow Dan’s murder? Is Lily, the main character, actually Wendi? And what does it say that she removed the Markel name from her children post-murder? Get ready for a chilling breakdown of blurred lines between fiction and real-life tragedy.#WendiAdelson #ThisIsOurStory #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #CharlieAdelson #MurderForHire #FSULaw #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #SurvivingTheSurvivor #JusticeForDanMarkel #LegalDrama #CrimeBookAnalysis #TrueCrimeCommunityGet Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxAll Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube
