Stephan Sterns Jail House Calls – Call 5: Saltines and Silence – Life Inside While Facing Madeline Soto Murder Charges

How does someone accused of murdering a child talk about saltine crackers and reading glasses as if nothing happened? That’s exactly what unfolds in this surreal fifth call between Stephan Sterns and his parents. As his parents express financial stress and emotional fatigue, Stephan discusses his favorite jail snacks, mackerel cans, and silicone chess pieces.
Beneath the surface, there are flickers of something deeper. Stephan mentions “regret” — though it’s unclear whether it’s for the crime, the consequences, or just being caught.
The case of Madeline Soto continues to hang over everything, unspoken and massive. His parents are still trying to hold their son close while reality pushes him further away.
