Winona police have said Fravel was the last person known to have seen 27-year-old Madeline Kingsbury prior to her being reported missing. Officials indicated Fravel was with Kingsbury when they dropped their children off at daycare on the morning of March 31st. She was expected at her job with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester but never showed up.

According to previous Winona Police Department statements, Fravel told investigators he left the couple's apartment to do some errands around 10 o'clock that morning and when he returned several hours later she was gone.
