Madeline Kingsbury

MANKATO, Minn. – Prosecutors in Adam Fravel’s murder trial are highlighting forensic evidence they believe links him to the death of his ex-girlfriend and the mother of their children, Madeline Kingsbury of Winona.

The trial in Mankato is entering its eighth day of testimony on evidence collected after Kingsbury’s body was discovered last June.

A witness testified about scratches and bruises found on Fravel about a week after Kingsbury disappeared. Investigators suggest these marks could indicate Fravel was involved in a fight.

The judge ruled Monday that a journal found in Kingsbury’s bedroom would not be shown to the jury.
