WINONA, Minn.– Adam Fravel has said good-bye to Winona perhaps forever. Two jailers and a deputy cheriff drove him180 miles to the state prison fortress in St. Cloud to begin his life sentence for murdering his ex-girlfriend Maddi Kingsbury. Fravel was taken in a Dodge Durango, the standard Winona County jail transport vehicle. Meanwhile as protocol with all first-degree murder convictions and sentences, the Minnesota Supreme Court is reviewing his case. It is rare that a case is overturned or remanded. At the St. Cloud prison, Fravel was photographed, instructed on house rules, and issued personal items. He had been jailed 561 days in Winona after his June 2023 arrest — except for three weeks when he was held in Mankato where his trial was conducted. Jailers in Winona said there were no significant issues during his local incarceration. The St. Cloud prison is used largely for prisoner intake into the state Corrections Department system. Most inmates eventually are reassigned in system’s 12 facilities.
