Adam Fravel was found guilty in the murder of Madeline Kingsbury

Adam Fravel was convicted of murdering Madeline Kingsbury, the mother of his children.

The jury found him guilty on all charges – two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder.

Jury deliberations began around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday and lasted until 9:30 p.m. On Thursday, deliberations began again at 8:00 a.m.

His sentencing is scheduled for the afternoon of Dec. 17 in Winona County.

As previously reported, Kingsbury first disappeared from her home on March 31, 2023. A large-scale search operation in southeastern Minnesota soon gained momentum, and Kingsbury's body was found taped to a bedsheet along a rural road in Fillmore County in June 2023.

Prosecutors built a case portraying Fravel as an abusive partner who noticed that Kingsbury ended up like Gabby Petito, a social media influencer who was strangled by her boyfriend.

According to sister station KAAL, prosecutors brought 68 witnesses to the stand over the course of two weeks, including Kingsbury's parents, law enforcement investigators and forensic experts.

Fravel's defense team called five witnesses, including two police officers, Fravel's brother and neighbors at the couple's home in Winona, and Fravel's parents in Mabel. Fravel did not testify in his own defense.

Winona County District Judge Nancy Buytendorp agreed to move the trial to Blue Earth County because of the high publicity in the Winona area leading up to the trial. Despite the move, jury selection took a week and a half until both sides found 12 jurors and five alternates. Both sides made their opening statements on October 17.
