Adam Fravel, convicted of murdering Madeline Kingsbury, asks for new trial

The man convicted of murdering Madeline Kingsbury, his ex-girlfriend and the southern Minnesota mother whose disappearance set off a massive search in 2023, has asked for a new trial.

Fravel filed the challenge on Monday, according to KAAL-TV, claiming issues and misleading information during his trial.

A jury last year found him guilty of murdering Kingsbury and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

He previously filed an appeal back in March and has maintained his innocence.

In his latest challenge, Fravel’s attorneys pointed to hearsay statements about the Gabby Petito murder case as one reason for a new trial. The request also claims the state’s domestic violence expert was “unreliable,” questions the medical examiner who examined Kingsbury’s body, takes issue with prosecutors’ closing statements to jurors, and argues that there isn’t undeniable proof that Fravel intentionally killed Kingsbury.

Fravel remains behind bars at Oak Park Heights prison.
