Adam Taylor Fravel. (Winona County Jail)
Story provided by WDIO’s sister station, KAAL.
Adam Fravel was found guilty of two counts of 1st-degree murder and two counts of 2nd-degree murder Nov. 7.
A Mankato jury reached the verdict after just more than a day of deliberations.
Winona mother Madeline Kingsbury disappeared in March of 2023 after dropping her kids off with Fravel at daycare.
Kingsbury’s remains were eventually discovered in June of that year, in a culvert in rural Fillmore County. The property is a few miles north of Fravel’s parents’ home in Mabel.
Fravel faces life in prison for the 1st-degree murder convictions.
The prosecution had to prove that Fravel had planned the murder in order to secure a 1st-degree murder–premeditation conviction, and prove that Fravel had abused Kingsbury in order to secure 1st-degree murder–past pattern of domestic abuse conviction.
