(KWNO)-Missing Winona woman Madeline Kingsbury’s ex-boyfriend has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder. A Filmore County deputy found human remains off Highway 43 on Wednesday afternoon near Mabel.
“Because of this, law enforcement personnel have arrested Adam Fravel on probable cause in connection to her disappearance,” the Winona Police Department said in a Facebook post.
Fravel was booked into the Winona County Jail around 7 p.m. on Wednesday. The Facebook post went on to say, “Numerous members of the Winona Police Department, the Winona County Sheriff’s Office, the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office, the Southeast Minnesota Violent Crimes Enforcement Team, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) agents and crime scene personnel, and the Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office are working as quickly as possible to positively identify the remains.”
Kingsbury disappeared on March 31 after dropping her kids off at daycare. Fravel is the father of Kingbury’s children but the two were not in a relationship anymore and Fravel had no custodial rights. Fravel has denied knowing anything about Kingsbury’s disappearance.
