Madeline Kingsbury investigation: Special prosecutor brought in to assist in ... trends now
A special prosecutor has been pulled out of retirement to investigate the disappearance of Minnesota mom Madeline Kingsbury, 26, who went missing nearly two months ago.
Madeline's sister confirmed to local outlets that Phil Prokopowicz, the former chief deputy attorney in Dakota County, has been brought in to help.
Prokopowicz, who has been called 'arguably one of the best in the business,' is assisting Winona County law enforcement, the sister said.
