WINONA, Minn. — Police Chief Tom Williams suggested that further arrests are possible in the death of Maddi Kingsbury – besides the arrest of Adam Fravel on Wednesday. “This is still an ongoing investigation,” Williams told reporters at a news conference. “We’re still dedicated as is the sheriff’s department and all agencies to do what they need to do to bring this case to a successful conclusion.” At another point in the news conference Williams said: “We will hold anyone involved in Maddi’s disappearance accountable, and we will hold steadfast to that commitment.” Over 10 weeks of investigation Williams has made occasional references to “perpetrator or perpetrators,” Although his words have been “perpetrator” singular and “perpetrators” plural. this was widely interpreted as a rhetorical device to support his hesitancy to declare Fravel as a suspect. Now after the news conference and Fravel’s arrest, the question has emerged whether anyone besides Fravel knew what happened and withheld information from investigators or lied. Fravel has been living with his parents in Mabel since the day Mddi disappeared 10 weeks ago. It was to their house tat Frave; took Maddi and his children that afternoon. The children, age 5 and 2, were removed a couple days later by Winona County child-protection agents.
