More than two months ago, mum-of-two Madeline Kingsbury disappeared. Her body has now been found and her ex-boyfriend and the father of her children has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
She went missing after dropping her two children, five and two, off at daycare in the town of Winona, Minnesota on Friday morning, March 31, accompanied by ex-boyfriend Adam Fravel.
Fravel, the father of her children, has been arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder, despite insisting earlier he had nothing to do with her disappearance.
Remains were found in bushes off Highway 43 north of Mabel, Minnesota, around 45 miles from where Kingsbury was last seen alive on June 7. On Thursday, June 8, Madeline's family confirmed that the remains were hers.
Madeline's disappearance was described as "involuntary and suspicious" by police, and a massive manhunt was launched helped by more than 2,000 volunteers.
Since she went missing, Fravel has been locked in a bitter custody battle with Madeline's family over the two children.
Here's a look at everything we know so far about the case, and the key dates in Madeline Kingsbury's disappearance.
March 31 - Madeline last seen alive
Madeline was last seen on the morning of Friday, March 31, after dropping her two children off at daycare at around 8.15am. Fravel said he left her in the minivan at around 10am, and when he returned later that day, she was not home.
Police say the van was parked outside Madeline's home from 1.30pm. Friends and family tried to reach out to her, but couldn't get hold of her - which they said was out of character.
Police found Madeline's phone, wallet and the jacket she had worn earlier that morning in a search of her home.
April 1 - Police ask for help
On April 1, the Winona Police Department asked for the public's help in tracking down Madeline. They asked anyone with any information to call the department to report it.
In a post on Facebook, the force wrote: "The Winona Police Department is seeking any assistance in locating Madeline Jane Kingsbury. Madeline has not been seen since the early morning of March 31."
April 3 - Madeline listed as 'endangered missing person'
On April 3, police listed Madeline as an 'Endangered Missing Person' and launched an official investigation into her disappearance.
April 5 - Madeline's disappearance 'involuntary and suspicious'
On April 7, investigators held their first press conference where Police Chief Tom Williams called Madeline's disappearance "involuntary and suspicious".
Her family attended the press conference where they announced a $50,000 reward for information which led to her discovery. A mass search was organised by investigators, with more than 1,500 volunteers.
Until this point, the dad of Madeline's kids, Fravel, had not said anything. Madeline's sister, Megan Kingsbury, said they had no contact with him, despite their attempts to reach out.
April 11 - Sister Megan speaks out on Madeline's disappearance
On April 11, Megan gave an interview, breaking the family's silence in the search for Madeline.
Megan explained that the family had been out searching, and the week since her sister's disappearance has been exhausting - but said the family were amazed by the amount of people willing to come out and search for their sister.,
She explained: "We don't want to go home because then we can't, we feel like we're not doing anything but even when we're here in town, we feel kind of helpless."
Megan said: "I think each of us family members have different ideas of thoughts about what may have happened, but nothing has been confirmed by law enforcement through any of their investigations."
April 12 - Fravel speaks out
On Wednesday, April 12, almost two weeks after Madeline was last seen, an attorney released a statement on Fravel's behalf saying he had nothing to do with her disappearance and wanted her to return home safely.
In it, he said: "During these last 12 days I have cooperated with law enforcement at every turn, including sitting down for multiple interviews with Winona County law enforcement.
"I did not have anything to do with Maddi's disappearance. I want the mother of my 5-year-old and 2-year-old to be found and brought home safely.
"I want that more than anything."
He went on to say that law enforcement had advised him not to attend press conferences or help in the search due to "safety concerns".
"However," he said, "my non-attendance and silence has been inferred by many as a sign of apathy, or worse.
"That could not be further from the truth. I want Maddi home and for her to be able to be with our two children."
April 17 - Police remain 'extremely concerned' for her safety
On April 17, police issued an update saying they "remain extremely concerned for her safety".

Volunteer Petra Eastling told KKTC: "We were faced with the same situation that Madeline's family is facing now of trying to navigate what this is going to look like, how do we search, what do we do and who do we contact so our group exists now we do this totally volunteer, we do this to help other families out and help them navigate what we went through as a group."
April 26 - Investigators ask residents to report old wells

May 5 - Vigil held for Madeline
On May 5, hundreds of community members from Winona came together for a vigil to honour Madeline.
Her dad, David Kingsbury said: "She didn't just vanish, we can tell you for certain that she is not off somewhere taking a mental health break or lounging on a beach somewhere.
"Someone took her, that much is certain. She would never leave her children."
May 15 - Fravel appears in court for custody battle
On May 15, Adam Fravel appeared in a Winona County courtroom for a custody battle over the two children.
After her disappearance, the county took custody of his and Madeline's two children. Despite being their biological father, he has no custodial rights. The children had been placed with Madeline's parents, which is where they wanted them to stay.
June 5 - Children to remain with Madeline's parents
A court decided the two children would remain with Madeline's parents until a custody hearing date was set.
The custody trial set for June 5 was cancelled with Fravel having made an admission that the children were in need of protective services.
June 7 - Body found and Fravel arrested
On Wednesday, June 7, more than two months after Madeline's disappearance, a body was found north of Mabel.
The body was found in bushes off Highway 43, 45 miles from where Madeline was last seen alive. The remains were not confirmed as Madeline's.
Fravel was arrested on probable cause in connection to her disappearance. He has been held in Winona County Jail.
June 8 - Body confirmed as Madeline's
The day after remains were found in the bushes, Madeline's family confirmed that the remains were, in fact, hers.
In a statement on behalf of their family, Megan said: "We're relieved that Madeline has been found after months of intensive searching and grateful for the extraordinary effort by law enforcement, other first responders and volunteers.
"We're certain that the correct person has been arrested, will be appropriately charged, and convicted of his crimes. Things are moving in the right direction there and we look forward to getting justice for Madeline.
"For right now we will mourn as a family and properly and respectfully lay her to rest."
Police Chief Williams said the Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner's Office performed an autopsy on Thursday morning, June 8, which allowed them to confirm the remains as Madeline's.
"To say the last 69 days have been frustrating, full of heartache and pain for the family, law enforcement and the community. During this time the family never gave up, law enforcement never gave up, the community never gave up."
Details about the discovery revealed at this point include that the remains were found covered up and not visible in a wooded area which had previously been searched.
The land where Madeline was found was off a public roadway, and not property of the Fravel family.
"While this discovery is not what we were hoping for, we are thankful to be able to bring Maddi home to her family," said Chief Williams.
