Summary

While his mother tends to a dog giving birth, Stephan talks about root beer barrel candy, commissary price hikes, and snack strategy. You’d never guess this is a man accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl.
But that’s what makes this call so unsettling. It’s quiet. Casual. And profoundly disturbing. Because in the background of this light conversation is the death of Madeline Soto — a tragedy no one can face directly.
This is what emotional dissociation sounds like. And it’s chilling.
