Father of Missing Woman Denied Custody Rights by Court in Madeline Kingsbury Case

The father of missing Winona mother Madeline Kingsbury's two children, Adam Fravel, has been denied custody rights by a judge as he does not have legal custody. The children will remain in the care of social services as their mother's whereabouts are unknown and her disappearance may have been "involuntary and suspicious." Fravel and his family allegedly did not cooperate with officials and refused to permit social workers to meet with the children. The judge scheduled a pre-trial hearing on May 15 with a trial set for June 6.
