0:00
Speaker 1: On March thirty first, twenty twenty three, Madeline Kingsbury dropped
0:04
Speaker 1: her two children off at their daycare in Winona, Minnesota,
0:07
Speaker 1: at just after eight am. Hours later, her blue minivan
0:12
Speaker 1: was spotted parked in front of her home, but no
0:14
Speaker 1: one had seen Madeline all day. She had not traveled
0:18
Speaker 1: to work, and she was not responding to phone calls.
0:22
Speaker 1: Madeleine was missing. The search for the twenty six year
0:25
Speaker 1: old mother began immediately and on a scale not seen
0:29
Speaker 1: before in Winona County, as hundreds, then thousands of volunteers
0:34
Speaker 1: gathered and scoured the region in search of clues. Law
0:37
Speaker 1: enforcement and the community began asking who was not there
0:41
Speaker 1: with them? Who really should have been? Hi, everyone, I'm Kevin,
0:49
Speaker 1: and welcome to Just Thought Lounge, where we deliver serious,
0:52
Speaker 1: well balanced coverage of the cases that really make you think.
0:56
Speaker 1: If that sounds like your type of true crime, then
0:58
Speaker 1: you've come to the right place. Today we're taking a
1:01
Speaker 1: look at the very recent disappearance of Madeline Kingsbury. This
1:05
Speaker 1: is a case that has received national media attention across
1:08
Speaker 1: the United States since the moment officials in Minnesota declared
1:12
Speaker 1: Madeleine's absence was both involuntary and suspicious. Throughout the months
1:18
Speaker 1: long investigation, authorities remained fairly tight lit revealing just enough
1:23
Speaker 1: evidence to gain the assistance of the public, but not
1:26
Speaker 1: enough to threaten the integrity of their investigation. That is
1:31
Speaker 1: until very recently, when they finally started providing answers. Let's
1:37
Speaker 1: take a look. Madeline Kingsbury had a Bachelor of Science
1:50
Speaker 1: from Wenona State and worked as a clinical research professional
1:54
Speaker 1: at the Mayo Clinic. In January twenty twenty three, she
1:58
Speaker 1: began studying for a master's degree in public health at
2:01
Speaker 1: the University of Minnesota. Madeleine was known to her friends
2:05
Speaker 1: and family as smart, very funny, and an extremely loving person.
2:11
Speaker 1: Madeleine's chosen career path would have her making a positive impact,
2:15
Speaker 1: and she was already experiencing success at a young age.
2:20
Speaker 1: But Madeleine's pride and joy wasn't her work, but her
2:23
Speaker 1: two children, aged two and five. Her sister Meghan described
2:28
Speaker 1: the kids as the center of her life.
2:31
Speaker 2: Her kids are her life. Ah, she doesn't really take
2:34
Speaker 2: a lot of time for herself, but she's always kind
2:37
Speaker 2: of happy and looking for new things to do with
2:41
Speaker 2: the kids.
2:42
Speaker 1: Madelene and her children's father, Adam Fravell shared a home
2:45
Speaker 1: in Winona, which sits roughly two hours southeast of Minneapolis.
2:50
Speaker 1: The couple had met while attending Winona State at the
2:52
Speaker 1: same time and had been together on and off for
2:55
Speaker 1: the following seven years. Adam's family lived nearby in May,
3:00
Speaker 1: closer to the Iowa border. The couple were hands on
3:03
Speaker 1: with both children. On the morning of the thirty first
3:06
Speaker 1: of March, both parents dropped their children off at daycare together,
3:11
Speaker 1: then they returned to the house together. Adam left the
3:14
Speaker 1: house shortly thereafter, assuming Madeleine was on her way to work.
3:20
Speaker 1: When he returned home later that day, Mattie was gone.
3:28
Speaker 1: Madeleine was extremely close with her sister, Megan Kingsbury. They
3:32
Speaker 1: told each other everything, They planned special vacations together. They
3:36
Speaker 1: spoke daily. Mattie was also in regular contact with good friends.
3:41
Speaker 1: One friend had been in contact with Madeline around the
3:43
Speaker 1: time that she returned home from the daycare drop off
3:46
Speaker 1: at eight fifteen am, but after this text, Mattie stopped replying.
3:52
Speaker 1: Throughout the day, the same friend and others continued to
3:55
Speaker 1: reach out. They went to her home. They knocked on
3:59
Speaker 1: the door. Madeline's blue minivan sat parked in the drive,
4:02
Speaker 1: but no one came to the door. When the evening came,
4:06
Speaker 1: and no one could verify Madeleine's whereabouts, they knew that
4:09
Speaker 1: something was terribly wrong. The Winona Police Department received the
4:13
Speaker 1: call for help at eight twenty pm. They walked around
4:17
Speaker 1: the property, appeared in the windows. There was no one inside.
4:21
Speaker 1: Adam had been unable to reach Madeleine like everyone else,
4:25
Speaker 1: but most disturbing, Madeleine had failed to make arrangements for
4:28
Speaker 1: her children. The loving mother whose kids were the center
4:32
Speaker 1: of her life did not turn up at the daycare
4:34
Speaker 1: at the end of the day to bring them home.
4:39
Speaker 3: When you think of her story of leaving her kids
4:44
Speaker 3: at the daycare ready to go to work, a mom
4:49
Speaker 3: who loves her children, it just resonates with everyone and
4:52
Speaker 3: people want to know what happened here.
4:55
Speaker 1: A search warrant was obtained the very same day for
4:57
Speaker 1: Madeleine's house in Winona. The interior was described as cluttered,
5:02
Speaker 1: but police documents state that there were no overt signs
5:05
Speaker 1: of a struggle. If something had occurred in the house,
5:08
Speaker 1: it had been covered up extremely well. There were a
5:12
Speaker 1: few observations made during the search, the significance of which
5:15
Speaker 1: became clear only later. First, an air mattress in the
5:19
Speaker 1: house was missing a fitted sheet. The mattress did have
5:22
Speaker 1: two pillows fitted with gray colored cases. Any matching sheets, however,
5:27
Speaker 1: were absent. Police also found a roll of black guerrilla
5:31
Speaker 1: tape inside the house. Officers found madeline cell phone, the
5:35
Speaker 1: jacket that she had been wearing the morning previous, and
5:38
Speaker 1: her purse inside the house. For Mattie's cell phone, they
5:42
Speaker 1: were able to determine that her last communication was around
5:46
Speaker 1: eight fifteen am. She had texted her sister. They knew
5:50
Speaker 1: from Adam that Madeline had intended on taking one meeting
5:53
Speaker 1: for work at around ten am that morning and then
5:56
Speaker 1: travel into the clinic for the remainder of the workday.
6:00
Speaker 1: He observed Madeline go downstairs in the house towards the
6:03
Speaker 1: home office just before he left. On April third, Madeleine
6:10
Speaker 1: was declared a missing person. One week after her disappearance,
6:13
Speaker 1: The Wanona Police held their first press conference to update
6:17
Speaker 1: the public on the investigation and seek assistance from anyone
6:21
Speaker 1: in the community who may have seen something. Hundreds of
6:24
Speaker 1: tips had already begun pouring in.
6:28
Speaker 2: Are you any closer to finding a suspector person.
6:30
Speaker 4: Of interest again? It's open and active. The leads that
6:34
Speaker 4: are coming in is unbelievable. We are actually getting hundreds
6:38
Speaker 4: of them. We have a lot of information that we're
6:40
Speaker 4: trying to process right now to help do that, so
6:43
Speaker 4: it continues to be open and active. Factor a person
6:47
Speaker 4: of interest. What we are looking for is anybody with
6:50
Speaker 4: any knowledge to please come forward and either contact the
6:53
Speaker 4: tip line or the one on the police department.
6:56
Speaker 1: The Kingsbury family offered a fifty thousand dollars reward for
7:00
Speaker 1: information leading to Madeleine's whereabouts.
7:03
Speaker 5: Please help us find Madeline. The children need their mother,
7:08
Speaker 5: We need our daughter or sister, aunt and our best
7:10
Speaker 5: friend back.
7:13
Speaker 1: The focus of the investigation was on Madeleine's blue van.
7:16
Speaker 1: Investigators had tracked a blue Town and Country minivan that
7:20
Speaker 1: matched the one owned by Madeline, driving from Winona towards
7:23
Speaker 1: the eastern part of Fillmore County. Spotted back in her
7:27
Speaker 1: drive by one point thirty pm on the day of
7:29
Speaker 1: her disappearance. It had been backed into the driveway, something
7:33
Speaker 1: that her neighbor found odd. Maddie had never once, as
7:37
Speaker 1: far as the neighbor could recall, backed her vehicle into
7:40
Speaker 1: the drive to park it.
7:42
Speaker 2: Of us family members have different ideas or thoughts about
7:48
Speaker 2: what may have happened, but nothing has really been confirmed,
7:53
Speaker 2: I guess by law enforcement through any of their investigations.
7:56
Speaker 1: In the days immediately following, thousands of volunteers turned up
8:00
Speaker 1: to systematically cover the terrain across Winona and Fillmore counties.
8:06
Speaker 1: The area they sought to comb through totaled more than
8:08
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty thousand acres. Property owners across the
8:13
Speaker 1: region marked their land with the large blue check marks,
8:16
Speaker 1: signifying to search parties that they were welcome to come
8:19
Speaker 1: through the land. This system and the overwhelming number of
8:22
Speaker 1: volunteers meant that the area was being covered by search
8:26
Speaker 1: parties quite rapidly. The search efforts were being directed by
8:30
Speaker 1: law enforcement authorities remained tight lipped, however, about what information
8:35
Speaker 1: specifically was dictating the areas of the search.
8:40
Speaker 2: It's hard to see very far into the future. Just
8:43
Speaker 2: kind of taken things day by day and just dealing things,
8:48
Speaker 2: dealing with things as they come.
8:51
Speaker 1: After nearly two weeks of searching returning nothing of note
8:55
Speaker 1: to the case, suspicions were nonetheless swirling in theories being posited.
9:00
Speaker 1: The most persistent of these accusations targeted the person statistically
9:05
Speaker 1: most likely to have been at fault. The boyfriend, Adam
9:09
Speaker 1: Fravell and his family had not been seen joining the
9:12
Speaker 1: Kingsbury's in the search efforts. The Fravels had expressed their
9:16
Speaker 1: distress and concern for Mattaline publicly, but their absence from
9:20
Speaker 1: the otherwise widespread efforts being made to find Maddie was
9:23
Speaker 1: to some unsettling and suspicious.
9:29
Speaker 6: He feels for the Kingsbury family. Obviously, both the Kingsbury
9:33
Speaker 6: family and the Frable family were close, and so this
9:37
Speaker 6: is an unfortunate circumstance all the way around.
9:40
Speaker 2: Since we don't communicate with him and his family, all
9:46
Speaker 2: we can really go off of is kind of what
9:48
Speaker 2: they say on social media, and it's mostly you know,
9:56
Speaker 2: they're upset that they're may be not involved in certain things,
10:00
Speaker 2: but you know, they haven't been particularly, they haven't planned
10:11
Speaker 2: anything of their own.
10:12
Speaker 4: I guess I'll say.
10:14
Speaker 2: Any vigils or searches or get together as any anything
10:22
Speaker 2: like that.
10:24
Speaker 1: While the Kingsbury's watched their language, the local press began
10:28
Speaker 1: to openly speculate has.
10:30
Speaker 4: He been involved in the search at all. I'm not
10:33
Speaker 4: going to comment on that.
10:34
Speaker 5: There's so many conflicting stories it's hard to follow and
10:38
Speaker 5: know what's fact and what speculation.
10:42
Speaker 1: Sorting fact from fiction, even in the mainstream media can
10:45
Speaker 1: be a challenge. So before returning to Madeline's story, we'd
10:49
Speaker 1: like to take a minute to explore a platform that
10:52
Speaker 1: I have found to be incredibly useful for researching and
10:55
Speaker 1: tracking true crime cases in the news. Ground News is

11:16
Speaker 1: To give you an idea of the power of ground
11:18
Speaker 1: News to highlight political bias, I've performed searches on one
11:21
Speaker 1: of the most talked about and controversial cases that JTL
11:25
Speaker 1: has covered, the trial of Darryl Brooks. As JTL viewers
11:29

11:33
Speaker 1: a balanced perspective. The features on ground News help readers
11:36

11:40
Speaker 1: hot topics surrounding this case saw significant coverage in right
11:44
Speaker 1: leading media. However, the same story was not reported by
11:47
Speaker 1: any publications from the left or center. Ground News even
11:51
Speaker 1: includes a blind spot page which shows articles underreported or

Speaker 1: for sponsoring this video. Now, let's return to Madeline's story.
12:33
Speaker 1: While rumors and suspicions circulated, Adam Fravell decided it was
12:38
Speaker 1: time to speak up. He released an official statement about
12:41
Speaker 1: Madeleine's disappearance, addressing accusations that were being directed at him.
12:47
Speaker 1: Adam Fravell said he did not have anything to do
12:49
Speaker 1: with Maddie's disappearance and that he and his family have
12:53
Speaker 1: been subject to a myriad of accusations. According to Adam,
12:58
Speaker 1: law enforcement had him against attending press conferences or assisting
13:03
Speaker 1: in search efforts due to safety concerns. He added, my
13:07
Speaker 1: non attendance in silence has been inferred by many as
13:10
Speaker 1: a sign of apathy or worse. That could not be
13:14
Speaker 1: further from the truth. I want Mattie home and for
13:17
Speaker 1: her to be able to be with our two children. Authorities, however,
13:21
Speaker 1: denied ever making a statement to Adam that directed him
13:25
Speaker 1: to stay away for his own safety. After Madeleine disappeared,
13:31
Speaker 1: the children remained in Adam's care for a time. He
13:35
Speaker 1: did not have any independent rights to the kids, though
13:38
Speaker 1: he had been with them daily when Madeline and he
13:40
Speaker 1: were together. According to making Kinsbury, keeping the father of
13:44
Speaker 1: her children in their lives was something very important to Madeleine,
13:48
Speaker 1: regardless of the status of her relationship with Adam, and
13:52
Speaker 1: recently their on again, off again relationship was apparently turning sour.
13:58
Speaker 1: Winoda County Health and Human Services removed the children from
14:02
Speaker 1: Adam's care in April. Apparently, the process did not go smoothly.
14:07
Speaker 1: Officials reported that Adam was uncooperative, refused to hand over
14:11
Speaker 1: the children, and yelled profanities at the social workers. He
14:15
Speaker 1: eventually unlocked the doors and conceded once he had spoken
14:19
Speaker 1: with his attorney. The children remained under the custody of
14:22
Speaker 1: the county, but staying with Madeline's parents. What few details
14:26
Speaker 1: have been released about these circumstances reveal only that the
14:30
Speaker 1: kids were in circumstances or conditions that threaten their health, safety,
14:35
Speaker 1: or welfare. No further details were made public.
14:41
Speaker 2: A crossing our fingers for a phone call every day,
14:46
Speaker 2: you know that they found her, and it could be
14:48
Speaker 2: great news or it could be really horrible, and you know,
14:53
Speaker 2: so we really want to get a call, but then
14:55
Speaker 2: we don't because we don't know what it's going to be.
15:00
Speaker 4: Good afternoon, I'm Munana, please, Chief Tom Williams. We are
15:05
Speaker 4: here today to announce that human remains were found yesterday
15:08
Speaker 4: in Fillmore County. This morning, the Southern Minnesota Regional Medical
15:12
Speaker 4: Examiner's Office performed an autopsy. Law enforcement has confirmed the
15:17
Speaker 4: remains are those of Madeline Kingsbury. Unfortunately, while this discovery
15:26
Speaker 4: is not what we were hoping for, we are thankful
15:29
Speaker 4: to be able to bring Maddie home to her family.
15:33
Speaker 1: Madeline was found by a Fillmore County investigator who had
15:36
Speaker 1: been directed to the area north of Maple near to
15:39
Speaker 1: Choice Cemetery. Based on digital evidence. It was a likely
15:43
Speaker 1: surveillance footage of the area that allowed the investigator to
15:47
Speaker 1: narrow the search, although the woodland had been previously searched.
15:52
Speaker 1: When the deputies from the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office discovered Madeline,
15:56
Speaker 1: they noted that whoever had left her had thoroughly covered
15:59
Speaker 1: their track and concealed her from view.
16:08
Speaker 7: An investigator was following up on an electronic a tip
16:12
Speaker 7: related to electronic evidence and checked the area and located
16:16
Speaker 7: Madeline's body.
16:17
Speaker 4: Did the previous surges that had.
16:19
Speaker 8: Taken place the.
16:23
Speaker 7: Specifically, I can't tell you how tharly that area has
16:25
Speaker 7: been looked at. What I can tell you is that
16:27
Speaker 7: we have searched with volunteer teams and with law enforcement
16:30
Speaker 7: in that general area, as well as most of the
16:33
Speaker 7: rest of that part of the county. But as indicated earlier,
16:37
Speaker 7: there were efforts made to conceal the location of the
16:40
Speaker 7: body and it was not visible from the roadway.
16:44
Speaker 1: A gray fitted bedsheet had been used to wrap her
16:46
Speaker 1: enclosed with black guerrilla tape, the same found to have
16:50
Speaker 1: been in her home in Windona. A knotted towel had
16:54
Speaker 1: been wrapped around her head and neck. No other details
16:57
Speaker 1: were disclosed, but the autopsy later confer that the manner
17:01
Speaker 1: of death was homicide. Law enforcement obtained video from security
17:10
Speaker 1: cameras and motion sensor video devices at multiple residences and
17:14
Speaker 1: businesses located in the neighborhood where Madeleine and Adam lived.
17:18
Speaker 1: From these cameras, they were able to decipher that at
17:21
Speaker 1: roughly nine to forty five a m. On the morning
17:23
Speaker 1: that Madeleine went missing, a man in a light colored
17:26
Speaker 1: jacket was in Madeleine's driveway. The man bent over and
17:30
Speaker 1: appeared to remove the license plate from Madeleine's minivan. Three
17:34
Speaker 1: minutes later, a different plate was installed on the vehicle.
17:38
Speaker 1: The same individual got into the driver's seat of the
17:40
Speaker 1: van and left the house. When the van stopped to
17:43
Speaker 1: get gas, cameras captured the new license plate. It was
17:47
Speaker 1: registered to Adam Fravel. The van returned to the house
17:53
Speaker 1: after getting gas, but then left again, this time being
17:57
Speaker 1: tracked out on Highway forty three towards Choice As in Mabel.
18:01
Speaker 1: Forty Five minutes elapsed before the vehicle is seen again
18:04
Speaker 1: on its return trip towards Winona. It was spotted back
18:07
Speaker 1: in the driveway of Madeleine's home by one thirty pm
18:10
Speaker 1: that day. Investigating officers learned that the rural area between
18:16
Speaker 1: the towns of Choice in Mabel, near the Choice Cemetery
18:19
Speaker 1: where Madeline was found, had been routinely maintained by members
18:22
Speaker 1: of the Fravell family. It was in close proximity, within
18:26
Speaker 1: ten miles of Mabel and minutes away from the home
18:29
Speaker 1: of Adam Fravell's parents.
18:33
Speaker 8: I'm Winona County Attorney carn Sonomon, and I'm here today
18:37
Speaker 8: to announce my office file charges against Adam Taylor Friball
18:42
Speaker 8: for the murder of Madeline Kingsbury. We have charged mister
18:47
Speaker 8: Frable with second degree intentional murder and second degree unintentional murder.
18:56
Speaker 1: A charge of first degree murder in Minnesota requires that
18:59
Speaker 1: a grand jury bring an indictment, a step that the
19:02
Speaker 1: prosecutor has not ruled out. Adam Fravell did not deny
19:06
Speaker 1: driving Madeline's mini van on the morning of March thirty first. Indeed,
19:11
Speaker 1: over two interviews given to police, he outlined in detail
19:14
Speaker 1: the route and purpose of his driving that day. Adam
19:18
Speaker 1: had been He admitted moving out of the house. The
19:21
Speaker 1: couple had determined that the relationship was not working. Adam
19:25
Speaker 1: had collected some belongings intended for a storage unit in Winona,
19:29
Speaker 1: while other items were loaded into the van to bring
19:32
Speaker 1: out to his parents' home. As he drove out to
19:35
Speaker 1: the town of Choice, Adam realized that the items he
19:38
Speaker 1: had packed were intended for the storage unit, not his parents,
19:42
Speaker 1: so he turned around and drove back to Wanona, where
19:45
Speaker 1: he unpacked the items back into the house. He did not,
19:49
Speaker 1: it seems, then go to the storage unit after all.
19:53
Speaker 1: When he arrived at the house, his car was still
19:55
Speaker 1: in the drive. Assuming that Madeline had carpooled into worktinued
20:00
Speaker 1: his day, spending the afternoon at home. He texted Madeleine
20:04
Speaker 1: but received no response. Adam then collected the children from
20:08
Speaker 1: the daycare and drove them out to his parents' home.
20:13
Speaker 1: Multiple individuals close to Madeleine reported that the relationship with
20:17
Speaker 1: Adam was unhealthy. One friend, while on a video call
20:20
Speaker 1: with Mattie, witnessed Adam, unaware that he was being observed,
20:24
Speaker 1: strike Mattie in the face. Similar incidents were reported by
20:28
Speaker 1: family members. Text messages extracted from two of Madeleine's older
20:33
Speaker 1: cell phones further supported the argument that Adam had been
20:36
Speaker 1: an abusive partner. In one exchange, Mattie argued with Adam
20:41
Speaker 1: over his treatment of her in front of the children.
20:44
Speaker 1: You'll adjust, he wrote. The fuck I will was Mattie's response.
20:50
Speaker 1: In a chilling discovery, law enforcement also learned that Adam
20:53
Speaker 1: Fravell had what he had openly admitted was an obsession
20:57
Speaker 1: with the disappearance turned murder case of Gabby Petito. A
21:02
Speaker 1: friend told law enforcement that Adam had told Madeline that
21:05
Speaker 1: if she didn't listen up, she'd wind up like Gabby.
21:09
Speaker 1: Adam admitted to making the comment, although he said he
21:12
Speaker 1: was joking. He described himself as infatuated with the case. Gabby,
21:18
Speaker 1: of course, was the young woman who disappeared during a
21:21
Speaker 1: cross country band trip with her fiance in the summer
21:24
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. Her remains were eventually found in
21:28
Speaker 1: a Wyoming campground. Her fiance, Brian Laundry, died by suicide
21:33
Speaker 1: and left a note saying he'd killed her. As investigators
21:37
Speaker 1: uncovered more about the relationship between Madeline and Adam, they
21:40
Speaker 1: began to narrow in on a theory of the murder.
21:44
Speaker 1: Maddie had had enough. She was looking for a new
21:47
Speaker 1: home for herself and the children. This much, Adam had admitted,
21:51
Speaker 1: though framed the breakup as cordial not heated, but the
21:55
Speaker 1: circumstances told another story. Adam, unemployed and with limited parental rights,
22:01
Speaker 1: was essentially being forced to move back in with his parents,
22:05
Speaker 1: and he was also, it seems, losing the control that
22:08
Speaker 1: he sought to exert over the mother of his children.
22:13
Speaker 1: Attorneys for Adam Fravell and Madeline's parents appeared before a
22:17
Speaker 1: district judge to hear arguments regarding the termination of his
22:20
Speaker 1: parental rights. Judge lay He firmly rejected the motion and
22:24
Speaker 1: called it an attempt to essentially try Adam Fravell's criminal
22:27
Speaker 1: case in civil court. Adam is being held in Wenona
22:31
Speaker 1: County Jail under a million dollar bond. He is unable
22:34
Speaker 1: to see his children while in custody. The father of
22:38
Speaker 1: Madeline Kingsbury's children, the same man accused of killing their mother,
22:42
Speaker 1: will have the right to see the couple's kids if
22:44
Speaker 1: he posts a one million dollar bail. The murder investigation
22:47
Speaker 1: is ongoing. It is notable that officials have yet to
22:50
Speaker 1: publicly release any direct evidence linking Adam to the murder,
22:55
Speaker 1: But for the Kingsbury family there is little doubt. After
22:59
Speaker 1: months of keeping silent, they are finally speaking out and
23:03
Speaker 1: they believe that the right person is behind bars.
23:08
Speaker 5: We you know, from the beginning, thought that Adam had
23:17
Speaker 5: something to do with this, and so we think that
23:23
Speaker 5: the right person is in custody and we're confident that
23:32
Speaker 5: he will get the punishment that he deserves.
23:39
Speaker 1: Madaline's two children remain in the custody of her parents
23:43
Speaker 1: and are reportedly healthy and otherwise as well as can
23:46
Speaker 1: be expected. Megan Kingsbury continues to post videos on TikTok
23:51
Speaker 1: addressing her experience, her grief, and her sister's case. Now
23:56
Speaker 1: that Maddie has been found in a suspect charged, Megan
23:59
Speaker 1: hopes that can ginuing her posts may help to shine
24:01
Speaker 1: a light on other missing persons cases like her sisters,
24:05
Speaker 1: that may receive less media attention. As of the publishing
24:09
Speaker 1: of this video, Adam Fravel has not been released and
24:12
Speaker 1: his next court date is set for July twentieth, twenty
24:16
Speaker 1: twenty three. Thanks for watching. I'm Kevin. This is just
24:22
Speaker 1: thought lounge and I'll see in the next one.
