Adam Fravel gets life in prison for death of Madeline Kingsbury

WINONA, Minn. (KVRR/FOX 9) — Adam Fravel is sentenced to life in prison for the death of Madeline Kingsbury in southern Minnesota.

Kingsbury is Fravel’s former partner and mother of his two children.

Fravel appeared in court to be sentenced after being convicted of 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.

First-degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison. In court, the judge handed down that sentence, following remarks from Kingsbury’s family and Fravel himself.

He said, “I never caused harm to Maddi…And I am innocent.”

Fravel was found guilty last month.

In March, it will be two years since Kingsbury went missing after dropping off her kids at daycare. Her body was found months later near Fravel’s parents’ home in Mabel, Minnesota.
