Madeline’s mother’s life partner said he dropped her off not far from Hunter’s Creek Middle School and wanted to walk the rest of the way.
“In my heart, I feel like somebody took her. This isn’t like her to just pick up and run away or just not go to school,” said Soto.
Soto said the family celebrated Madeline’s 13th birthday over the weekend, which was the last conversation she had with her daughter before she went missing.
