  2. Adam Fravel Found Guilty of Murdering Madeline Kingsbury

    Adam Fravel Found Guilty of Murdering Madeline Kingsbury

    In a trial that gripped national attention, Adam Fravel has been convicted on four counts for the murder of Madeline Kingsbury, the mother of his two children. The three-week trial concluded with a packed courtroom in Mankato as the jury foreperson read the guilty verdicts. The case, which was relocated from Winona due to widespread public interest, has stirred emotions in both the Kingsbury and Fravel families. The jury found Fravel guilty of premeditated first-degree murder, first-degree murder with a past pattern of domestic abuse, second-degree murder with intent, and second-degree murder while committing a felony. Madeline Kingsbury, 26, disappeared at the end of March 2023, leading to a large-scale search that lasted four months. Her body was eventually discovered in a culvert near Fravel’s parents' home in Fillmore County, southeast Minnesota. This discovery prompted Fravel’s arrest and set the stage for an emotional trial. David Kingsbury, Madeline’s father, addressed reporters outside the courthouse after the verdict. “Fravel can’t be punished enough,” he said. “We’ve lost a daughter, mother, aunt, sister. Children are scarred ... not just Eliana and Noah, but the children in our extended family wonder why. His life is wasted, ruin and devastation to two families. There’s no joy here, but we’re glad at the result.” His words highlighted the pain the Kingsbury family continues to endure, even as they feel a sense of relief from the guilty verdict. Members of both families were present for the reading of the verdict, and the atmosphere in the courtroom was tense. Some relatives from Fravel’s side broke into tears as the reality of the conviction sank in, emphasizing the deep and enduring emotional impact of the case. Winona Police Chief Tom Williams, who played a crucial role in the search for Kingsbury, also shared his thoughts following the trial. “To say that this was a huge undertaking would be a great understatement,” Williams noted. “The number of man hours that went into this by law enforcement from many different counties, state agencies and we cannot be forgetful of the number of citizens that also stepped up to the plate to help us with this investigation.” The Kingsbury family’s pain remains fresh, but they acknowledge the tireless efforts of law enforcement and community members who assisted in the months-long search. The conviction marks a significant step in their journey toward closure, though the emotional scars are still raw. Adam Fravel will face sentencing on December 17 in Winona, where he could receive a life sentence for his crimes. As the legal process nears its conclusion, both families must confront the aftermath of the tragedy that has devastated their lives. #JusticeForMaddie #AdamFravel #MadelineKingsbury #MurderTrial #Winona #DomesticViolence #CommunitySupport Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    Pre-Trial Hearings Set for Former Boyfriend Accused in Murder of Madeline Kingsbury

    More than a year after the tragic disappearance and murder of Madeline Kingsbury, her former boyfriend, Adam Fravel, is scheduled to appear in court next month for pre-trial hearings. Fravel faces second-degree murder charges in connection with the death of Kingsbury, a 26-year-old mother of two from Winona, Minnesota. Kingsbury was first reported missing at the end of March 2023, sparking an extensive search effort across the Winona area. For weeks, community members, law enforcement, and volunteers scoured the region, hoping to find any trace of her. The search came to a heartbreaking conclusion in June when Kingsbury's remains were discovered in a concealed location along Highway 43 in Fillmore County, just a short drive from Fravel’s home. Police in Minnesota identified the remains as those of Madeline Kingsbury shortly after their discovery. The tragic news was followed by the arrest of Adam Fravel, who had been under suspicion since the investigation began. Fravel, 29, was taken into custody "on probable cause in connection to her disappearance," according to the Winona Police Department. The upcoming pre-trial hearings are scheduled for September 3-4, and will likely take place in Winona, unless a new trial location is announced beforehand. Due to the widespread media attention surrounding the case, a judge has already agreed to move the trial out of Winona County, ensuring a fair legal process. As the case moves forward, Kingsbury's family has expressed a mix of sorrow and relief. In a statement released following the discovery of her body, Kingsbury's sister, Megan, shared the family’s sentiments. "We’re relieved that Madeline has been found after months of intensive searching and grateful for the extraordinary efforts by law enforcement, other first responders, and volunteers," she said. "We’re certain that the correct person has been arrested, will be appropriately charged, and convicted of his crimes. Things are moving in the right direction there, and we look forward to getting justice for Madeline." The investigation into Kingsbury's disappearance revealed that her body had been carefully concealed in a wooded area off a gravel road, an area that had been previously searched but not thoroughly enough to uncover her remains initially. "There were efforts made to conceal the location of the body," Fillmore County Sheriff John DeGeorge noted during a press conference, emphasizing the challenges investigators faced in locating Kingsbury. Winona Police Chief Tom Williams also addressed the discovery, expressing his condolences to Kingsbury’s family. "While this discovery is not what we were hoping for, we are thankful to be able to bring Maddi home to her family," Williams said. The case has drawn significant public interest, not only because of the tragic loss of a young mother but also due to the extensive community involvement in the search for her. Thousands of searchers assisted law enforcement over the more than two months that Kingsbury was missing, highlighting the deep impact her disappearance had on the local community. As the legal proceedings continue, all eyes will be on the upcoming pre-trial hearings and the eventual trial of Adam Fravel. The hearings will provide an opportunity for the defense and prosecution to present their cases as the court begins the process of determining Fravel’s guilt or innocence in the murder of Madeline Kingsbury. The case serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers of domestic violence and the devastating impact it can have on families and communities. As Kingsbury’s family and the community of Winona await justice, the memory of Madeline Kingsbury will undoubtedly continue to resonate with those who were touched by her story.
