This search is of records held by an out—of—state corporation, Wyze Labs, Inc, doing bUSiness
in city or township of Winona, County of Winona, State of Minnesota.

I
apply for a search warrant on the following grounds:
- The property or things above—described constitutes evidence which tends to show a crime
has been committed, or tends to show that a particular person has committed a crime.

The facts establishing the grounds for issuance of a search warrant are as follows:
Your affiant, Special Agent Colleen Myhre, has been a licensed Peace Officer in
the State of Minnesota since 2006. Your affiant is currently employed by the State
of Minnesota at the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), assigned to
Homicide/Missing Persons investigations. Your afiiant has been employed by the
BCA since September of 2019. Prior to her employment with the BCA, your affiant
Worked at the Willmar and South St. Paul Police departments as a patrol officer,
and then as an investigator with the South St. Paul Police department from 2011-
2019. in 2022, your Affiant was assigned to the Minneapolis Police Department's
Homicide Unit in response to a violent crime initiative. in these capacities, your
aifiant has been directly involved, or assisted other Agents and Officers, with
several investigations.

At approximately 8:20 PM on Friday, March 31, 2023 "die Winona Police Department tool:
a report of a missing person. The reporting party ("Reporting Party") indicated that they
were best friends with Madeline Jane Kingsbury (Date of Birth: June 1, 1996), whom she
had not had contact with all day, which she characterized as unusual. Reporting Party Went
to Kingsbury's residence and did not get an answer to her knocks at the door at 456 Kerry
Drive, located in the City of Winona, Winona County, Minnesota. Reporting Party'also
informed officers that she was aware that Kingsbury was having issues with her significant
other, Adam Taylor FraVel (Date of Biith: January 29, 1994).

Version 1.0
 Application Page 3 -

Officers did not get an answer to knocks at Kingsbury's door and noted that there were no
lights on inside. Officers then spoke with Kingsbury's dad who reported not having had any '

contact with her throughout the day, explaining that as odd.

Officers also spoke with Fravel via phone. FraVel said he had not heard from Kingsbmy
since earlier that morning. He reported that Kingsbury was supposed to pick up their
children from daycare after she got off of work, however, she did not Show up, so he went to
piclr them up. After picking up the children he and the kids went to his parents' residence in
Mabel, Fillmore County, Minnesota. Law enforcement knows, based on phone contact with
Fravel, an in—person interview of FraVel and surveillance of FraVel's mOVements, that he has
been at that residence the majority of the time since then.

Officers gained access to Kingsbury's townhome and verified that she was not there.

Officers later learned that Fravel had contacted the reporting parting's significant other and
was upset that she had reported Kingsbury as missing because Kingsbury had not been gone
_
for over 24 hours.

On April 1, 2023, Kingsbnry's mother and sister ("Sister") came to the Winona County Law
Enforcement Center to report that there had still not been any contact with Kingsbury,
which was extremely out of character for her. Sister said that she had texted Kingsbury
Friday morning and that Kingsbury replied at 8:15 AM with a response that is typical of
Kingsbury. Sister reports sending a second text to her at 8:23 AM, which went
unanSWered. Sister said that she and Kingsbuiy communicated with one another multiple
times a day

They informed officers that Kingsbury and Fravel were in the process of splitting up,
however, they were still living together. They said that the first night that Fravel hasn't
stayed at their joint residence on Kerry Drive was last night, March 31, 2023.

Kingsbury reportedly told Fravel earlier in the week that she no longer wanted to continue
with the plans they had to move closer to his parents and change the childrens' daycare,
rather, she was going to stay in Winona, keep the children wifli her and at the daycare they
were currently attendirlg and that she was looking for an apartment. It was also known to
Fravcl, and others, that Kingsbury was currently seeing someone else.

They reported that Fravel was very emotionally abusive and controliing over Kingsbury. He
insisted that she was not allowed to speak witli her new boyfriend while he was around and
demanded to see all text messages between the Mo of them. Kingsbury told Sister that
Fravel had told her, "if you don't listen you'll end up like Gabby Petito".

Officers learned that Kingsbury had also told Reporting Party that Fravel told her, "if you
don't listen you'll end up like Gabby Petite".

Another friend was interviewed, hereinafter referred to as H.S., who advised that Frayel had
Version 1.0
 Application Page 4 7 -

become physically abusive with Kingsbury after the birth of their' son. Last fall, Kingsbuiy
had called H.S. crying and said that Fravel had choked her on their couch and told her if she
wasn't careful, that would be her. He was referring to the Gabby Petite case on the news.

Gabrielle "Gabby" Petito was reported missing on September 11, 2022 after not returning
from a monthslong cross-county trip with hei' significant other, a case which garnered
significant, nation-wide media coverage. Her remains were later located in a national park
in Wyoming and it was determined that her death was a homicide. The person of interest in
that case was her significant other.

H.S. also advised that Kingsbury had insisted Frayel go to therapy after the choking
incident. H. S. understood that the therapist suggested that Fravel start assisting with
daycare drop off to show that he was being a more inVOIVed father.

The daycare provider was spoken to and advised that Kingsbury and Fravcl dropped the
children off together Friday morning, and they arrived in the van, which is typically driven
by Kingsbury. She told officers that Kingsbury is the one who typically picks up the
children at the end of the day, but that Fravel will if Kingsbury can't. She explained that
FraVeI arrived to pick up the children at their normal pick-up time. When asked, Daycare
Provider said that she never contacted Fravel, or anyone, in reference to Kingsbury not
arriving to piclc up the children because Fravel picked them up at their regularly scheduled
time. Daycare Provider said that when Fravel showed up to get the children they asked
where their mother was. She said that he never answered their question, rather he just said,
"we're going to Grandma's house". A review of the daycare provider's ring camera shows
both Kingsbmy and Fravel arrive at 8:03am to drop off the kids and Fravel arrive alone to
pick up the kids at 4:21p1n.

H.S. advised that Fravel had some sort of Computer Programming Degree and was very
technologically smart. He had not had a job in a few years and Kingsbuly supported him
financially. As far as H.S. knew, Fravel played video games all day and would refuse to
watch the chitdren'even if Kingsbury had to go grocery shopping, so H.S. had helped from
time to time and watched the children while Fravel continued to play his games. H.S. was
also aware that Kingsbury had ended the relationship and believed that Kingsbuiy told
Fravel to be moved out of the home by that weekend (April 1-2).

Fravel was interviewed in person on 4/1/23, and it was noted by investigators that he had
faint scratches on his forehead, nose and neck. He clairned to be running errands on Friday.
He got gas and then grabbed the wrong moving boxes and so had driven as far south as
Choice, before he tamed around and headed back home. He alleged that Kingsbury was
gone and he did not know where she had gone. His phone was confiscated from him at the
interview.

In another interview on 4/2/23, Fravel told investigators that he was "infatuated" with the
Gabby Petito case. When more pointed questions Were asked of him concerning Kingsbmy,
Version 1.0
 Application Page 5 7
—

he refused to answer' any more questions.

In a search warrant conducted at Kingis

and Fravel's residence, investigators found that
Wyze cameras had been pulled down from their installed locations in the home and the SD
Cards Were removed.

Investigators recovered various business surveillance videos of interest from 3/31/23 . In

one, Fravei was seen pumping gas into Kingsbury's van, but he had switched the plate to his
vehicle's plate. In another video, he had returned home and was backed up to the garage.

Investigators found various videos of his route south of Winona. The last video was from
28901 Hwy 43, in Rushford. He was last Seen on the video at approximately 11:59AM,
traVeling south. The same video caught Fravel traveling north again at 12:44 PM. There is
a 45 minute window that Fravel could not be tracked. Choice is 11.5 miles south of that
Rushford business. Fravel's parent's home is 16.7 miles fronr that business. In that time,
Fravel could have made it to his parents home, north of Mabel, and back.

A search warrant of Fravel's phone revealed that he had whipped data on his phone and also
disabled certain traclcing applications and location services after 3/30/23.

In reviewing the deleted data or remnants of data on the unallocated space on Fravel's
phone, Agents with the BCA discovered that Fravel had access to a network ofWyze
cameras, a scale and a Wyze watch, that looks similar to an Apple watch. In the data time
stamped 3/3 0/23, at 8:24 PM, the Wyze network was still in working order as indicated by
the "records event switches." By the day that police conducted the search warrant, all
cameras were ripped down and their SD cards were missing. Also noted in this carved data,
Agents could see that the device MAC addresses were listed, as well as their descriptions.
Your affiant noted that the descriptions that had been given to them by the device
administrator (Fravel) was "Garage, Driveway, south side, north, and Living room." Some of
the cameras appeared to be connected to another wifl and the network was labeled as his
parent's partial address, indicating that Fravel controls the cameras at his own home and the
ones outside of his parent's residence.

A search warrant was conducted at Fravel's parent's home on 4/7/23, and your affiant
noticed two ATVs and a side by side in the detached garages. There was also a computer
tower and laptop that were in tire dumpster, as well as a burned computer item in one of the
fire pits.

Massive searches occurred for Kingsbury April 3-8, 2023. The searches were paused after
the day on Saturday, April 8, 2023. This fact was Widely reported in the news. Agents and
Investigators were advised that on Easter Sunday, 4/9/23, Fravel was caught on a. trail
camera located on the neighbor's property to the nortl1 of his parent's address, driving in the
side-by—side through the neighbor's land, with a shovel in the haclc. Your affiarlt revieWed
her body worn camera of the search warrant and there were no shovels in the back of the

side-by—side at that time.

Wyze does store video and data on a cloud—based system, located out of state. Your affiant
believes that video leading up to the disappearance will show a pattern of life for Fravel and
Kingsbury. In addition, any data logs showing deleted items or system wipes further shows
Fravel's attempt to conceal information in this investigation. Kingsbury is seen with a smart
watch on her wrist in one of her photos. As there is a Wyze watch on the home system, the
Wyze cloud should record steps, activity and even biometrics, like heaItrate, if it was set up
to do so. All of this will be helpful in determining Kingsbury's last movements. Lastly,
these videos will assist in confinning or denying statements made by Fravel and other
Witnesses.
