Hello, everyone and welcome to police off the cuff, real crime stories.

I'm your host, Bill Cannon, a retired 27-year veteran of the NYPD as a sergeant.

This man here, we all know him as Stefan Stearns.

Next week on February 12, 2025, hearings will start for his trial in the SA case in regards to 13-year-old Madeline Soto.

I think if you followed this case, which we all have, and I presented so many episodes of this case,

we know what an out-and-out diabolical piece of garbage this guy is.

But like most pieces of garbage out there, he wants to be excused.

He wants to not have the death penalty apply to him.

So the first trial will be for the SA,

and I won't say the full terminology here,

of Madeline Soto, 13 years old.

And we all remember that her mother allowed her to sleep

in the same bed as this monster here.

And we cannot almost not even think of that.

And the unbelievable things, the crimes that were perpetrated upon this poor young girl, 13 years old, never got to be, never got to go really through puberty, never got to be a teenager. She was 13 years old, but never got to live her teenage years, never got to become an adult. And the amount of abuse she was put through is absolutely just unthinkable

you know just unthinkable so folks we're going to go into this case a little bit today

hold on to your hats hold on to your loved ones hold on to your pets you're about to enter

true crime from a police perspective you're about to enter true crime from a police perspective

you're about to enter the off-the-cuff zone the police off-the-cuff zone

they're going to be some common sense.

They were the ones who called 911 to get him help, and now they're calling for change.

And now a word from our sponsor, since this will be Super Bowl Sunday coming up this week.
