On April 1, the Winona Police Department put out a call for the public's help in finding Madeline Kingsbury, a 26-year-old mother who disappeared the day before after dropping her kids off at daycare.
At a press conference, Winona Police Chief Tom Williams said Kingsbury's disappearance was "involuntary, suspicious and we are all concerned for her safety." Megan Kingsbury, Madeline's sister, also called for help in finding her sister. "The children need their mother, we need our daughter, our sister, our aunt and our best friend back," she said.
A massive crowd turned out for a two-day search for Kingsburycovering a large stretch of southeastern Minnesota, but the search proved unfruitful.

At the vigil, Kingsbury's father spoke publicly about the case for the first time. "We know that Madeline is around here somewhere," he said. "She just didn't vanish. Som...
