Clearly the father of the children did it. Interesting that none of the news reports carry his name. It feels like the police are keeping this one close for a reason.
[quote]Chief Williams said that Madeline and the father of their children dropped off them at daycare shortly after 8 a.m. on March 31. Kingsbury returned to her home around 8:15 a.m. Williams said that Kingsbury failed to show up for work later that morning.
[quote]He said the father of the couple’s children spoke to police and said that he left the home around 10 a.m. in Kingsbury’s van. When he returned, she was not there. The van was left at the home around 1:30 p.m. on Friday.
[quote]Williams said that between 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Friday, a van matching the description of Kingsbury’s was seen on Winona County 12 and Highway 43 in both Winona and Fillmore counties. A large focus of the investigation is trying to find evidence such as video cameras, that might have captured the van during that time. He said that they’re still looking for video and asked that if anyone has any from between Friday morning from 8 a.m and April 1 to contact authorities. “Regardless of whether you see something or not, if you have a camera along any of the aforementioned routes, please save any video from March 31 to April 1st and contact law enforcement.”
I hope this is another case like the boy that turned up after being missing for a week, but it looks unlikely.
