daycare and dropped them off around 8:00 a.m. by they got back to the house and Adam said he saw Maddie go downstairs
00:01:15
and where a home office was to work he left and he didn't see her again I sent her this funny picture and we were just
00:01:22
kind of laughing back and forth about it and that was at 8:15 that morning and then I didn't hear anything else Maddy's
00:01:30
family and friends tried to contact Maddie throughout the day on March 31st without success I sent a message to Adam
00:01:39
and I said hey none of us have heard from meline all day he said I'm concerned too because I haven't heard
00:01:47
from her and so I met my parents you know with the kids so I contacted a friend of Maddie's her name's Katie I
00:01:55
said I need you to go to her house and see if she's there nobody was home so I called the police I started sobbing at
00:02:04
that point they said that there was no sign of her there's no sign of a struggle we are very hopeful that we
00:02:10
will find her no stone is being left unturned who is Spencer Sullivan Spencer Sullivan is a man that meline had
00:02:21
started seeing it was an on andof type situation um because there were times where she would tell me I don't know if
00:02:28
this is going to work out because of Adam We Believe madd's disappearance is involuntary suspicious and we are using
00:02:38
every tool at our disposal to find Colonel so I took to social media Tik Tok mainly hey Tik Tock I'm uh posting
00:02:46
an update I am out in filmar County we still haven't found my sister I mean hundreds of thousands of people saw her
00:02:54
Tik toks almost 1,00 people signed up today to come look for my sister and she was pleading with the public to help and
00:03:03
pleading with everybody to take a look everywhere and anywhere for her sister people just don't vanish my sister is
00:03:10
still missing police and other law enforcement are obviously still searching everyone's frustrated
00:03:20
and we just can't figure out where she is Maddie's still missing I think it's day
00:03:31
68 I would talk to her when I was out looking for her I wanted to be the one to find her I didn't want anyone else in
00:03:40
my family to find her if it's going to be one of us please let it be me this has gone on too long we we want
00:03:48
to bring her home [Music] [Music] there's just something about Winona that keeps pulling you back Scott Sherman is
00:04:37
the mayor of Winona Minnesota a small City on the banks of the Mississippi living here in Winona
00:04:45
is really cool so cool that TV and film star Winona Ryder is named for the town as
00:04:53
she told the world in this Super Bowl ad there's something about this place [Music]
00:05:01
something that feels so [Applause] me 26-year-old meline Kingsbury also felt that certain something about Winona
00:05:14
so when mayor Sherman heard that she had gone missing he wanted to help I felt that Maddie was a daughter
00:05:22
of Winona she was a bright young woman working through school working on a job in Rochester and
00:05:32
raising kids all at the same time that's a lot so I had respect for Maddie and mayor Sherman thought he could
00:05:39
help because as an avid bicyclist he rides the woodsy paths around Winona all year long you know the back roads of
00:05:48
this area I do and you went out yourself I did but as mayor Sherman felt his first job was to support Mattie's
00:05:56
distraught mother Christa neighbor when she arrived at the Search Command Center she gave me a
00:06:05
hug that I will never forget the rest of my life it was a hug that showed fear concern and so what were you what
00:06:15
message were you sending with that hug I'm here for you we will do our damnest to find her
00:06:21
Matty's family first began worrying about Maddie late in the afternoon of Friday March 31st 2023 when Christa
00:06:30
realized she had not heard from her daughter for nearly the entire day something in my gut just didn't feel
00:06:37
right mother's intuition right Christa contacted Megan madd's older sister but Megan said she was not
00:06:48
overly concerned I sent her a couple text messages anyway hey mom hasn't heard from you can you call her can you
00:06:56
text her back she's concerned and she didn't reply to that at the time Maddie was living with Adam fral the father of
00:07:05
their children the two had met in college at Winona State University he was outgoing and seemed interested in
00:07:13
getting to know us and he seemed very almost infatuated I guess with meline while still in college Maddie and Adam
00:07:23
learned they were expecting their first child and decided to settle in Winona he
00:07:29
made manned up he manned up Teresa sis Mahia is Adam's sister and she says Adam quits school to support his new family
00:07:38
he knew he was going to be a dad he went and got a job um and he had that job up
00:07:43
until Co and then he got laid off while he let Maddie continue college so that she could graduate and she did she
00:07:53
graduated and he supported her after graduation Maddie began working at the Mayo Clinic and became a clinical
00:08:00
research coordinator and madd's Father David Kingsbury said she recently had begun studying for an advanced degree
00:08:09
she was a graduate student of master's program at the University of Minnesota had just completed her first semester
00:08:16
there and was doing very well Adam who had studied computer science in college began taking flying lessons with an eye
00:08:24
toward getting his pilot's license when he was taking pilot license that that he
00:08:28
felt so accomplished you know it made him feel good and I was so proud of him for doing
00:08:33
it for doing something for himself I enjoyed being around him and I could tell that he really cared for
00:08:43
meline on the evening of March 3st Megan was hours away from Winona when she reached out to Adam who said he was
00:08:51
concerned he said I got home today and she was gone Adam and the children were at his parents home in Mabel an hour
00:09:01
south of Winona that's when Megan messaged madd's close friend Katie kka who lived in Winona my parents and I
00:09:10
haven't been able to get in contact with Maddie all day Katie responds I'm on my
00:09:16
way over there right now the house was eerily silent and it was at that point Katie called the Winona police and you
00:09:27
want this missing person's report to be filed but what did they tell you they told me that I wasn't able to report it
00:09:33
because it hadn't been 24 hours yet I was pacing in my kitchen I was getting really really worried so was
00:09:43
mti's father who tried to reach her where are you what's going on the next morning with Maddie now missing nearly
00:09:50
24 hours the Kingsbury family filed a missing person's report and then Adam went to Facebook asking for help
00:09:59
his post read in part if anybody has seen Maddie please contact the Winona PD me or any of her family members please
00:10:09
help me find the mom to our two beautiful kids the police went to Great Lengths I have to say to try to find
00:10:15
Maddie quickly because they know that there's a ticking clock on these things and the
00:10:21
investigation took off I mean it's extraordinary what they did the news that Maddie was missing spread
00:10:39
quickly through Winona and Beyond Haley Scott one of mty's sorority sisters wanted to help I reached out to
00:10:50
our sorority I reached out um to news outlets I was grasping at straws at the same time did detectives
00:10:59
reached out to Adam fril according to police reports Adam told them how on the morning of March
00:11:07
31st the couple dropped off their children at the daycare center investigators confirmed the drop
00:11:17
off after speaking to the daycare provider who gave police this videotape this video has never been seen
00:11:26
by the public until now it was one of the last times Maddie is seen on video before she
00:11:34
vanished police say Adam told them he and Maddie returned home after the drop off and she went to her office in the
00:11:42
basement to do a little work before heading to the Mayo Clinic and I have taken a look at all the evidence that we
00:11:49
have thus far in the Maddy Kingsbury case Mary feni a former prosecutor and defense attorney is a 48 Hours cons
00:11:59
consultant she says that in his police interview Adam told detectives he left Maddie his car and borrowed her blue
00:12:08
minivan to haul some boxes he proceeded to put some boxes in the van that he was going to move to his
00:12:17
parents house said he didn't see Maddie again he drove to his parents house along Highway
00:12:24
43 police say Adam told them he got as far as the town ship of choice Minnesota when he realized he had made a mistake
00:12:34
the boxes that he had in the van were ones that he actually wanted to put in storage so he turned around and he went
00:12:39
back to the home police say Adam told investigators he arrived back at his Winona home
00:12:46
around 11:30 a.m. and saw his car still in the driveway he said he had texted her a few
00:12:54
times asking about dinner and whether or not she was going to pick up the kids there was no response police say Adam
00:12:59
told them he'd assumed Maddie had car pooed to work and when he did not hear from her he went alone to do that pickup
00:13:07
of the kids again the video from the daycare appears to corroborate that part of
00:13:17
Adam's story so he ultimately picked up the children around 4:20 or 4:30 um from
00:13:23
daycare and brought them to his parents house in Mabel Minnesota during a police interview
00:13:30
investigators noted that Adam had fresh scratches on his face the day after Maddie disappeared Adam's sister says he
00:13:39
told her the scratches came from a friend's dog on Saturday April 1st police searched the Winona house
00:13:49
where Adam lived with Maddie and investigators reported they saw no overt signs of Foul Play but what
00:13:57
was in the house was her purse her jacket her credit cards um but no Maddie 2 Days Later an anxious Megan rushed out
00:14:07
of her shower and alerted her Tik Tock followers to what was going on Tik Tock I need you to do your thing I wasn't
00:14:15
thinking about the fact that I was in a towel I need your help this is my sister
00:14:21
meline Kingsbury um she's missing [Music] the post eventually had over a half million views help us find her he's got
00:14:35
two kids she's my best friend she's my little sister we need to get her back please help
00:14:42
us I mean you're obviously in Terror here the look on your face but you're reaching out for help and people wanted
00:14:50
to help yes so many people have asked to help look for mine Kingsbury that it allowed law enforcement to expand their
00:14:57
search there's no no guide book on how to search for a missing loved one and searching for her was easily one of the
00:15:07
most traumatic things I've ever experienced in my [Music] life we're all hopeful she's
00:15:15
[Music] alive but by the end of the weekend there was no sign of Maddie day by day
00:15:30
Megan continued to post updates to Tik Tok it's Tuesday the 25th still no Malin now next week is May we're still
00:15:43
in this hell I feel like all of us like every night we would look out it's cold it's
00:15:50
dark is she like laying out there somewhere she like trapped somewhere um and you just you don't know
00:15:57
what to do behind the scenes though investigators began taking a harder look at Adam especially after
00:16:07
Maddy's friends came forward with some disturbing stories mateline called me shortly after an
00:16:17
incident happened between her and Adam where he had told her that if she wasn't careful she was going to end up
00:16:25
just like Gabby petito the Gabby petito case fixated the nation in the fall of 2021 the search
00:16:34
for missing 22-year-old Gabby Patito is now a multi-state effort after the young
00:16:39
woman from Long Island was found dead human remains were discovered one month after she seemingly vanished from the
00:16:47
face of the earth I told her you need to get out and you need to get it get out now that's not an empty threat
00:16:58
[Music] what do you think of Megan's Tik Tok posts chat now with the 48 Hours team on
00:17:07
Facebook and [Music] [Music] X years before Maddie vanished her sister Megan says the on and off again
00:17:27
relationship Queen Maddie and Adam seemed to be headed for a bad ending he just wasn't nice to her he didn't act
00:17:37
like he loved her he didn't help take care of the kids he didn't clean and honestly did you reach a point where you
00:17:45
you advised your sister you know perhaps it's time to move on in your life from him many
00:17:52
[Music] times madd's Father David said it pained him to to see how shabbily Adam treated
00:18:00
Maddie I think she literally poured out a river of love for him and she got nearly a drop in return
00:18:10
Matty's stepmother Kathy says Maddie often called saying Adam was of no help with the children and she'd be just
00:18:18
sobbing miserably that Adam's not helping I hate this but Mattie's family and friends say there was more than just
00:18:27
tearful arguments about 3 years before Maddie went missing Haley says she witnessed Adam slap Maddie during a
00:18:35
video call Haley and Maddie were talking Haley says when Adam appeared in the background and began shouting at Maddie
00:18:45
he yelled I don't understand why this house is such a mess and she said I don't know maybe you should help
00:18:55
me um to which Adam turned and he slapped her with an open hand across the face and in September 20121 some 18
00:19:08
months before Maddie disappeared she told Haley about Adam's dark fascination with the Gabby petito story Adam had
00:19:19
a infatuation and I would call it an obsession with the Gabby of petito case Haley says Maddie had told her that one
00:19:29
night after she and Adam watched a news special about the petito murder Adam's Obsession turned
00:19:37
threatening he had actually turned and grabbed her by the throat and pinned her down and told her that if she wasn't
00:19:45
careful that she would end up just like her Katie says she tried to get Maddie to do something and I begged her and
00:19:54
begged her please go to the hospital document it yourself do whatever you need to do you need to get this
00:20:01
documented so you can get out of there safely with those kids but Katie says Maddie never
00:20:07
reported anything to the police she was more scared that Adam was going to get arrested she wanted to protect him she
00:20:14
was protecting him Maddie did however tell her father David and stepmother Kathy about the choking incident she was
00:20:22
like horribly afraid she'd been choked and she was very very scared and wanted help Kathy says she and David drove to
00:20:33
Maddie's house and got her and the children out of there she came with us we went to the house so she could get
00:20:40
some of her things and some of the clothing for the kids and whatnot and put the kids in the van and followed
00:20:47
us back to our home in Farmington but Kathy says Maddie stayed in the Kingsbury house only 3 days before
00:20:55
returning to Adam because he was upset that she'd left I did tell her some point he's
00:21:02
going to kill you you said that to Matt yeah you felt there was enough danger that you had to say to your own daughter
00:21:08
I think he may kill you and how did she respond to that statement or did she honestly I mean she became a pro at
00:21:17
minimizing thing and it came back to well he was he was joking he told me he was joking and she wanted to believe
00:21:23
that when Maddy went missing her friends and family reported those in to police according to a search warrant detectives
00:21:32
interviewed Adam and asked if he and Maddie had ever had any physical altercations he said oh no when
00:21:41
detectives asked about those Gabby Patito comments police say Adam admitted them but claimed he was trying to make a
00:21:49
joke but according to a search warrant investigators found an old screenshot Maddie had saved of some text she'd
00:21:57
exchanged with Adam Maddie says you know I'm not really okay with or over the fact that you put your hand around my
00:22:06
neck and pushed me down in front of the kids earlier so don't not okay with it at all but especially with them there
00:22:16
Adam replies you'll adjust Maddie says the FI will detectives wanted to know everything about what Adam did the day
00:22:29
Maddie went missing and began collecting surveillance videos from homes and businesses police say a blue minivan
00:22:38
that looked like Maddy's was videotaped on Highway 43 the road Adam told police he'd taken that morning but according to
00:22:47
a search warrant the time stamps do not match Adam's timeline the cameras track the blue minivan until around noon
00:22:56
police say and then there's a 45-minute Gap that Gap occurs around Choice Minnesota
00:23:02
police say that is where Adam told them he realized he took the wrong boxes turned the van around and drove straight
00:23:10
back to Winona according to that warrant there is a 45-minute window that fraval could
00:23:17
not be tracked I mean where was he during those 45 minutes I mean that was a big you know the big question right
00:23:24
but with no direct evidence and no sign of Maddie investigator did not arrest Adam and he continued to live at his
00:23:32
parents' home with the children meanwhile Megan continued her updates on Tik Tok meline still has not been
00:23:41
located unfortunately um so we're still plugging along and looking for her as detectives continued to
00:23:51
investigate they uncovered a new lead a romantic relationship Maddie had been having with another another man an army
00:24:00
veteran named Spencer Sullivan I'm Spencer Sullivan and I was dating meline kingsburry at the time of her
00:24:07
disappearance and now police were interested to know Spencer's whereabouts the day Maddie went
00:24:15
[Music] missing what do you make of the Gabby petito comment from Adam which he claimed to police was a joke
00:24:28
chat now with the 48 Hours team on Facebook and X in the spring of 2023 Maddie knew her
00:24:46
relationship with Adam was falling apart and she was brutally honest with her father she says you know Dad I know that
00:24:55
I'm in a bad relationship I know my family knows it I know my friends know it and I'm embarrassed about it but I
00:25:02
don't know what to do about it but Maddie had joined Tinder which is where she reconnected with Spencer who she
00:25:09
knew from college we were friends on Facebook so I knew that she had kids I wasn't sure
00:25:17
what the status of the relationship was exactly with uh Adam prel as it turns out Spencer also knew Adam from Winona
00:25:25
State he was in the same frat as I was and tell me about the Adam you knew back then he and I didn't really talk all
00:25:35
that much Maddie told Spencer that she and Adam had reached the point of no return Maddie and Spencer began dating
00:25:45
but quietly we both kind of agreed to keep it a secret between us until she was on her own mostly the relationship
00:25:54
was a secret from Adam Mattie's family and girlfriend knew about it and they told police about Spencer when Maddy
00:26:02
went missing that's when investigators called Spencer in for an interview they were just kind of asking me general
00:26:09
questions about when we had started dating where were you at this point what were you doing at this point what were
00:26:14
you doing on March 31st 2023 uh that morning I was at work Spencer surrendered his phone while
00:26:24
investigators checked out his Alibi as they looked into his story they also learned from Mattie's friends and family
00:26:32
that only 6 days before she disappeared she finally had told Adam about Spencer she didn't want to lie and she just it
00:26:42
bubbled up inside of her the this guilt is it true that Maddie told Adam about Spencer yeah that's a pretty gutsy thing
00:26:51
to do H we wish she had it all came pouring out and Megan says M told Adam she was leaving him and looking for an
00:27:02
apartment where she would live with their children did she tell you how Adam reacted to the news I think she said he
00:27:11
cried and he was really hurt at the time I'm sure he was personally hurt and heartbroken all of a sudden you find out
00:27:19
she has feelings for somebody else and it's over Adam's sister Teresa as well as his brother Ryan say news of the
00:27:27
breakup hurt them as well because Maddie was a cherished member of their extended
00:27:32
family Maddie was a sister to all of us and our hearts are broken uh we lost a close family member they point out that
00:27:40
although Adam and Maddie always had an on and off relationship they stayed together for S years I was completely
00:27:48
shocked when I learned that she was dating Spencer behind my brother's back Manny's best friend Katie says
00:27:56
tensions between mat and Adam were Sky High after her Revelation about Spencer it was the day before she
00:28:06
disappeared she called me crying and she asked if she could come work at our house she said that Adam was
00:28:14
hovering over her while she was working and making comments about some other man
00:28:19
raising his kids and you know are you really going to leave me for another man she felt very threatened Maddie left her
00:28:26
house and went to Katie's before ending up at Spencer's home also in Winona she came over to celebrate my
00:28:35
birthday with me she brought a couple donuts that we could split with each other she had a gift for me it was a
00:28:41
little Lego set Little Star Wars Lego set I got a a card from her it was a star wars card that last time you saw
00:28:49
her person to person I remember she's standing at my front steps she turned around and smiled at me
00:28:55
and waved and the last time was s within days of his interview police confirmed Spencer's Alibi and returned
00:29:09
his phone eventually police say he was clear Matty's friend Haley says Spencer was the best thing to happen to her in a
00:29:19
long time Spencer showed her that she deserves so much more than Adam Spencer says he was devast dated in the wake of
00:29:29
madd's disappearance I thought to myself like that stuff like this doesn't doesn't happen here you know we
00:29:38
were talking about her moving into her new place she wanted me to come over and help her decorate do stuff
00:29:43
and and the next day she's gone he says he couldn't stop thinking about the birthday card Maddie had given
00:29:54
him I think I reread that card at least 100 times that I all I could think was this this kid
00:30:14
sorry 4 days after Maddie vanished her parents were given temporary custody of her children my niece and nephew are no
00:30:24
longer in the custody of their father you know we appreciate the concern for them but um they're they're in good
00:30:31
hands when Matty's friend Lauren Deo thought about Matty's children she recalled a conversation she'd had with
00:30:38
Maddie a month earlier and she reported it to police she told me that she needed
00:30:45
me to know that if anything were to happen to her or her children that Adam did it she would never leave her
00:30:51
children for anything under any circumstances [Music] 10 days after Maddie disappeared police
00:31:00

00:34:38
outside found as she was and she was wrapped in a gray fitted bed sheet that had black duct tape around
00:34:51
the ends and um there was a towel wrapped around her head Adam frel was arrested and charged
00:35:02
with second deegree murder the gray bed sheet wrapped around Maddie according to
00:35:07
the criminal complaint seemed to match a set found in Matty's home and the isolated Road where
00:35:14
Mattie's remains were found according to that criminal complaint had been maintained by the fraval family at one
00:35:22
point this area is also close to the township of choice where Le believe there are 45 minutes unaccounted for in
00:35:32
Adam's timeline this area here in this Culvert is where mti's body was found someone
00:35:45
left a little angel here to Mark the Spot madd's autopsy listed her cause of death as homicidal violence nothing
00:35:56
more and in October 2023 Adam was indicted on additional first deegree murder charges Adam's possible motive
00:36:06
for murder in a warrant investigators alleged Adam was in distress due to his financial dependence on Maddie and was
00:36:15
upset about the end of their relationship investigators also learned that Maddie had a death benefit of
00:36:25
$170,000 but had not listed a beneficiary she was his his meal ticket she was the one who provided for them
00:36:34
according to a search warrant when police entered the couple's house they noticed that surveillance cameras inside
00:36:40
the home had been removed and former prosecutor Mary fulin says it's the way they appeared to have been taken down
00:36:49
that caught detectives attention they found that the surveillance cameras that he had
00:36:54
installed have been ripped out that they were no longer there so all of those are
00:36:59
indicators of you know he's up to something in consciousness of guilt he had those down weeks before they were in
00:37:06
the process of moving Adam's sister and brother say at one point before Maddie and Adam broke
00:37:13
up the couple was planning to move together to Adam's parents home we want people to know that there are two sides
00:37:20
to the story take for instance those caver dogs alerting to the utility vehicle and and
00:37:28
shovel Adam's Family says that's because on the previous weekend their dad used that shovel to move a dead
00:37:36
raccoon that he used the shovel to pick it up every time we would try to clarify
00:37:42
anything to the investigators we were just treated with that like like we're just delusional I believe Adam
00:37:50
150% that he is innocent he would never harm Maddie the mother to his children you know
00:37:58
he'd never do such a thing Adam's defense team has asked a judge to suppress Adam's police
00:38:05
interview because they claim he wasn't read his Miranda rights it's the interview where he admitted making
00:38:12
comments about Gabby Patito but said he was only joking in preliminary hearings his
00:38:20
lawyers also say there is not enough evidence to Warrant the first-degree murder charge Adam siblings insist
00:38:29
authorities should take a closer look at Spencer Sullivan we're trying to expand uh the
00:38:37
investigator's eyes that something else could easily have happened what do you think of
00:38:42
that I mean they're trying to protect Adam they kind of need to come to terms with the fact
00:38:49
that my personal opinion uh they got the right person there's a presumption of innocence in our legal system of course
00:38:57
that every everybody's entitled to but there's also the Court of Common Sense and then the Court of Common Sense
00:39:05
all roads lead to Adam prel the Kingsbury family is speaking out now in hopes of saving someone
00:39:14
else that's the reason why we're here and that's the reason why we're talking about this because we don't want it to
00:39:22
happen to anybody else this is emotionally very powerful right now for you are you you don't blame yourself for
00:39:28
this do you I think we all blame ourselves to some degree cuz when I would talk to her I didn't push you know
00:39:36
I wanted her to be able to say things when she was ready to say things he had her hooks in her and the kids make it
00:39:44
really difficult for MD's father whatever the jury decides there was a larger truth
00:39:53
that haunts him I'll always be the father of a murdered girl Spencer Sullivan told us he too feels
00:40:04
haunted by a conversation he and Maddie had weeks before she vanished she told me that she was in love with me
00:40:14
fortunately I was too chick to say it back but does that bother you every day I saw a future with m
00:40:28
and it felt like somebody just ripped the next 60 years out of my life for Megan who is so close with her
00:40:37
little sister she still can't imagine a future without Maddie I feel like even just saying that we're sisters doesn't
00:40:48
describe being the closeness that we had we were confidants for each other how do
00:40:56
you want Maddie to to be remembered somebody that mattered mean I think everything we've seen and heard
00:41:04
