In the latest episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, discussed the case of 13-year-old Maddie Soto, who was allegedly murdered by Stephan Stearns, her mother Jennifer's boyfriend. During the conversation, body cam footage from the initial police response was analyzed. The footage showed Jennifer reporting Maddie as missing and provided details about the search efforts. Dreeke emphasized his method of analyzing such footage by observing behaviors without bias and noted that Jennifer's calm demeanor and scripted narrative were unusual for a parent of a missing child. Dreeke also pointed out Jennifer's quick dismissal of potential leads, suggesting a lack of genuine distress. Stephan's body language, including crossed arms and pulling down his cap, indicated potential blocking behavior, though it lacked context outside the situation. Dreeke expressed surprise that Jennifer had not been charged yet, speculating that she might be cooperating with authorities to uncover more about Stephan's possible involvement in sex trafficking and child pornography. He suggested that ongoing investigations might be delaying charges as authorities gather comprehensive evidence from Stephan’s cell phone and other sources.

Main Points

- **Initial Report**: Body cam footage shows Jennifer reporting Maddie as missing, detailing her supposed drop-off at school and subsequent disappearance.
- **Behavioral Analysis**: Robin Dreeke observed that Jennifer's calmness and scripted narrative were unusual for a parent in such a situation.
- **Non-Verbal Cues**: Dreeke noted Jennifer's swaying as a pacifying behavior indicating stress and Stephan’s blocking behavior through body language.
- **Potential Leads Dismissed**: Jennifer quickly dismissed suggestions about contacting Maddie's friends, which Dreeke found suspicious.
- **Speculation on Charges**: Dreeke speculated that Jennifer might not have been charged yet because she could be cooperating with authorities.
- **Ongoing Investigation**: Dreeke suggested that the lack of charges might indicate a broader investigation into Stephan’s potential involvement in sex trafficking and child pornography.
