How does someone remain so calm after being accused of unimaginable crimes? Stephan Sterns, charged with the sexual abuse and alleged murder of 13-year-old Madeline Soto, didn’t seem fazed at all when shown disturbing evidence against him.

Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the chilling psychology of Sterns—his botched attempt to wipe incriminating evidence, his apparent narcissism, and whether his traumatic brain injuries could explain any of his monstrous behavior. And then there’s Jennifer Soto, Madeline’s mother, who repeatedly chose to protect Stearns over her daughter, even after seeing clear evidence of his abuse. Was she truly that blind, or is there something far more twisted at play? What would make a mother turn a blind eye to her child’s suffering?
