May tomorrow be the day Madeline is found.

Since the search is also down by LaCresant Mn & Brownsville is the next town. It's soon to become a Tristate hunt across the river from Winona is LaCrosse Wi. South of Brownsville is Lansing Iowa. There is nothing but huge bluffs & Mississippi river for miles. I've been fearing that scenario. Not sure how high the Mississippi is with flooding beginning.

I agree w above posters. Unless there’s something to prove to her sister that Maddi was the one texting, I don’t know that it’s the best thing to rely on as far as establishing last known contact. I think though, that the time of the text is close enough to the time that she was seen by the daycare provider, that it doesn’t change the timeline *that* much. Although, it could change the locations they search if they’re relying on location from where she sent the text. But cell phone was found at home ultimately. I’m nearly positive LE has tracked its movements to the best of their abilities at this point though.

Bbm.
Agreed.
The time that Madeline was last seen by someone other than family.

So sorry for her loved ones.
I wish the little kids were with her family ... I don't know if they are or not ?

In other cases where the person is still missing, like Ana Walsh --- some people make me physically nauseous.

Police call Minnesota mother’s disappearance ‘suspicious and involuntary’

The 26-year-old mom was last seen dropping her children off at daycare.

[...]

While police have called off the ground search in Winona, a southern Minnesota city located along the Wisconsin border, the investigation into Kingsbury’s disappearance is ongoing. Kingsbury’s mother, KN, said the family is hoping someone will come forward with information.

She told NewsNation’s Ashleigh Banfield that police have expanded their search into Houston County in Minnesota’s far southeast corner.

[...]

“She took care of her two babies. She had started graduate school in January, things were really finally looking up for her,” KN said.

[...]

Graduate school, full-time job, a 5 yo & 2 yo, and a separation from her partner/father of her children. That's A LOT. I hate that her children may never see her again.
MOO

Do we know that she WAS seen by the daycare provider, or is that just what dad says? Or did provider just see car and the kids jump out?

I'd like to hear from the 5yo what happened that morning.

IMO it's always very telling when the significant other doesn't participate in any of the searches (doubly so when they were the last person to see her).

I don't get the impression he is busy watching after the kids. Perhaps he is too busy being questioned by LE to do any searching.

Father of Madeline Kingsbury's kids, family members release statements; police provide update

For the first time, the father of a missing Winona woman's children has released a statement regarding her disappearance.

kstp.com

^Statement from Adam Fravel.

I’m pretty biased against Adam, but I think it’s really off-putting that he led with how much he and his family have suffered. The focus should be on Maddi. Also, “please bring her home safely”…umm is his story that someone “has” her and this is his plea to them? I just can’t.

I think we will see an arrest before too long and, factually and statistically, it won’t surprise me if Adam is charged.

Winona Fire Department responds to storage unit fire

When firefighters arrived on scene, they found a fire that had spread to numerous storage units.

www.kttc.com

I didn’t come up with this theory, but I think it’s worth sharing…I wonder if there’s any connection to this storage facility fire on 4/6 a couple miles from Maddi’s home. I’d be interested in the owners of the originating and affected units and whether they have any connection to Maddi or her close associates.

Sounds to me like he "lawyer-ed up"

If you're absolutely 100% innocent, why would you lawyer up?!

The fact he has no interest in Madeline, has never asked for help finding her, and has not taken part in any searches at all says it all.

The clock is ticking. It's only a matter of time.....

 

[Dpdan]

He sounds very defensive. Jmo.

 

[Elliot_Alderson]

That statement did nothing to change my mind. If the mother of my children were missing, I'd be out there searching regardless of what I was told. He could have attended the press conference and not spoke. Would have spoke volumes (not that this statement doesn't speak them as well). MOO

I’m not on Team Adam AT ALL, but, as an attorney, I think it’s wise to hire someone to protect your interests in circumstances like this and I don’t infer guilt from legal representation (especially when you’re the obvious suspect). I suspect guilt based on many other factors here, but not the hiring of an attorney.

Investigators need to look into any connection ASAP if they haven't already. Looks like arson. What else would cause such a fire? Are they wired for lighting?

I also hope the van has been searched thoroughly & checked by cadaver dogs.

On another thread here, someone was able to ID airplanes by call number in a certain space using an online database IIRC. I wonder if that is being done in this case. Was AF seen at the place where he keeps his plane on March 31 or April 1st.

Normally when it begins how much he has suffered its not good. Give me a flipping brake! How about where is Maddi? Let's see your proof, why didn't you have a car? Whining because him & his family are inconvenienced just makes me mad. How about Maddie's family???

The BCA of Mn is really fantastic.Other states send info to them to help solve there cases. A family member of mine worked with that Dept for several years.

I read that LE had requested that he not participate in search or any Press announcements. Due to concerns overhis safety.
