Father of Missing Minnesota Mother's Children Breaks Silence Nearly 2 Weeks After Disappearance

The father of the missing Minnesota mother's children finally broke his silence and claimed he "has nothing to do" with Madeline Kingsbury's disappearance.

Fox News reported that this was the first time Adam Fravel has publicly said anything since the Minnesota mother of two went missing on March 31 after they dropped their children off at a day care that morning.

Fravel was the last person to see Kingsbury alive. In a lengthy written statement through his lawyer, he said: "Over the course of the last 12 days my family and I have been subject to a myriad of accusations regarding the disappearance of the mother of my children... I did not have anything to do with Maddi's disappearance."

Fravel noted that he has been cooperating with authorities, which includes sitting down for several interviews with Winona County police.

He also said he wanted the mom of his 5-year-old and 2-year-old to be found and brought home safely.

Despite police not publicly naming a suspect or even acknowledging that there is a suspect, social media and the community have pointed the finger at Fravel and his family since Kingsbury disappeared.

According to Winona Police, Fravel previously said that after they dropped the kids off at the day care, they returned to their home in Winona.

He noted that he left the house using Kingsbury's van around 10 a.m., but the Minnesota mother was not there when he returned later that day.

Authorities Release Update in Missing Minnesota Mother's Investigation

The Winona Police Department (WPD) on Wednesday provided an update on their search efforts to find Madeline Kingsbury, according to KTTC.

WPD said numerous law enforcement agencies have been looking for Kingsbury from the beginning of the probe.

Over 2,000 people reportedly volunteered to look for the Minnesota mother last Friday and Saturday. Authorities continued to conduct targeted searches in Winona and Fillmore counties after the end of those massive searches.

Over 100 law enforcement and public safety personnel, who joined in the search done Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, scoured these additional targeted areas based on information they received through tips or investigative findings.

WPD has also served multiple search warrants as part of its search efforts. Dozens of tips reportedly come every day through Crime Stoppers, and police also receive lots of inquiries about the missing Minnesota mother's van that was taken and processed for evidence.

WPD has reportedly collaborated closely with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) to locate and analyze any relevant forensic evidence throughout the investigation.

Missing Minnesota Mother's Last Text Conversation With Her Sister

Megan Kingsbury, the sister of Madeline Kingsbury, sent the Minnesota mother a text before she vanished, according to ABC 5.

Megan said it was a funny picture from a family trip to Rhode Island last summer, to which Kingsbury responded with a "kind of laughing at the photo, and that was it."

"It was the last message that I got from her," said Megan, who reported getting that response around 8:15 a.m. on March 31.

Later in the day, the family became increasingly worried because Kingsbury's mother still could not contact her.

"It was fairly unusual not to continue to hear from her," said Megan.

Authorities said the Minnesota mother's cell phone, wallet, and ID were inside the residence, so there was no reason to believe that Kingsbury had just left on foot or in another car.

The family is offering a reward of $50,000 for any information leading to the location of the missing Minnesota mother.
