Mother of missing Colorado mom speaks out on daughter's disappearance

The couple, who do not live together, have a strong bond, said Cheryl Berreth, who lives in Idaho but has been staying in Colorado during the investigation.

"The relationship has been good. They're loving," she said.

She said she doesn't find the speculation circulating helpful to the case.

"Don't try to figure this out – we've got people trying to do that. Just share the photo There's more important things to be done," she said.

Usually in cases like this, I’m very confident in what I think happened, one way or another.

This one is different for me.

If foul play happened, then I’m looking at one place.

Nothing is right about the behavior there, and I find it incredibly unsettling.

That being said, something is not adding up for me as to the overall picture of KG. I feel like we are in the dark about some things, and there may be ingredients there that lend themselves to an alternative explanation, one that does not involve foul play.

It’s hard to get past the strange behavior of the fiancé, and that damn ping is very intriguing.

But I’m not absolutely sold as to what I think happened, as strange behavior doesn’t necessarily mean that foul play occurred, and a particular person is responsible for it.

Whichever way this goes, I wouldn’t be very surprised.

I just hope we get some clarity soon, and an answer eventually.

Were the texts actually sent FROM Idaho? Or, is Idaho only mentioned because her phone "pinged" there when they tried to locate the phone after she was reported missing?

I guess what I'm asking is, could she have sent the texts to PF and to her POE while still in CO and somehow her phone (and perhaps her purse) ended up in Idaho?

I just thought of something that I guess is a bit obvious, but... if she really did text her employer saying she would be taking time off that next week after Thanksgiving, then why wouldn't she have texted (or called, emailed) again for the following week? And this week? It seems to definitely point to something happening to her vs her going off on her own for a needed break. Not that I really believe the latter anyway.

Entirely possible. I haven't read anything that says they were or were not sent from Idaho. Speculation.

According to LE, Kelsey's mom called LE, a welfare check was done and Kelsey was reported missing on 12/2.

According to a couple of erroneous articles that remain uncorrected, the above occurred on 11/25.

Yesterday's news release:
Woodland Park Police Department | 12/12/18, 5:53 PM (MST)

thank you so much! this has really bothered me - the Sunday ping was between 5pm and 5:30-ID time - and just the one ping or the "false ping" - I think if they can solve this - it will be a break in the case IMO. If they have her cell phone records now (I seem to recall it takes a couple weeks to get them via a subpoena) they will know the numbers she was calling, who was calling her, and what transpired between 11/22 and the last known texts/calls etc. They won't need the phone to do this. I can login to verizon and see all of that and can also get the text message contents if I promise they aren't used in litigation.

We have not been told. All we know is that the last ping was on the 25th in Idaho.

I'm sure police know, but they are not saying if it pinged in other places prior to that. They are also not sharing where the phone was when the texts were sent.

Also remember though that nobody raised an alarm, not her family, not him, and not his family.

KB's mother was under the illusion that her daughter was engaged and living closely connected to her fiancé and their baby. So she was assuming that he daughter was doing her usual thing---working, then spending time with her fiancé and child. KB's mother was not in the position to know that her daughter was missing.

But the fiance was in that position. He had their baby and she wasn't checking in with him about her little daughter. That should have been a big red flag.

Vigil to be held for missing mom Kelsey Berreth Thursday

Two women who never met Kelsey Berreth now plan to hold a vigil for her safe return.

Amber Overton and Vanessa Nichols say they knew they had to do something for Berreth whose family members live hundreds of miles away.

Kelsey Berreth

“It’s just devastating being so close to home,” Overton said. The vigil will be held at Memorial Park in Woodland Park at 6 p.m. Thursday evening. City officials have asked those attending to gather at the park's flagpole.
Vigil to be held for missing mom Kelsey Berreth Thursday

I am curious if her fiancé will attend the vigil in Colorado. And if he does, who will be with him from his family and will he/they be standing along with her family?

Given that tonight's vigil was organized by 2 women that never met KB, I don't anticipate attendance by PF or his extended family. As far as we know, these same individuals that know KB never reported her "missing," are not printing and distributing flyers, and/or otherwise participating in search efforts. MOO

Perhaps they believe someone is holding her and they don't want any heat put on that might scare and agitate the person?

Usually in cases like this, I’m very confident in what I think happened, one way or another.

This one is different for me.

If foul play happened, then I’m looking at one place.

Nothing is right about the behavior there, and I find it incredibly unsettling.

That being said, something is not adding up for me as to the overall picture of KG. I feel like we are in the dark about some things, and there may be ingredients there that lend themselves to an alternative explanation, one that does not involve foul play.

It’s hard to get past the strange behavior of the fiancé, and that damn ping is very intriguing.

But I’m not absolutely sold as to what I think happened, as strange behavior doesn’t necessarily mean that foul play occurred, and a particular person is responsible for it.

Whichever way this goes, I wouldn’t be very surprised.

I just hope we get some clarity soon, and an answer eventually.

I feel the same way. From the information we have things don't add up. I think it's possible we're being left in the dark to protect KB in some way. Could go either way for me though - it's hard to say.

If you put yourself in the mom's shoes, you have hope, and you just want people to get the word out and try to find her (alive). It might be that the mom doesn't want people to just say "Oh, she's gone and so-and-so did it", and therefore not help out in trying to find her. That's my take on it, anyway.

I get that feeling as well. Unless they think there's a very good possibility she left voluntarily that's not normal behavior.

True but none of her friends checked, the neighbors didn't check, nobody at work checked, his mother didn't check, he didn't check, her mother didn't check. All these people. Just blows my mind

What do you mean, her mother didn't check? She was calling and calling, waiting for her adult daughter to reply.

Her mother knew that KB had a busy life and a loving fiancé and a baby. Surely of there was something amiss, her daughter's finance would know about it, right?

 

[BayouBelle_LA]

Media is banned from the vigil so it may be hard to know if PF attends. Not sure if photos or anything will be shared

I doubt he will be there. He knows what most people are thinking about him right now. Even if he had nothing to do with her disappearance, he'd likely prefer to stay home rather than going and having everyone judge him

I don't think the media has been banned. It's a community sponsored vigil in a park. I think as long as you're respectful and follow park rules, they can't ban you. IMO

Why would her neighbors check? It was the Thanksgiving week holidays. Millions of people go out of town then.

People at work were assuming she sent that text. So why would they think differently?

Her Mother was calling and calling, but she would assume the fiancé' was looking out for KB. If she was missing or in trouble, surely he would know, since they were so in love....

Maybe she left a note and it's likely that information would never be released to the public.

She has repeatedly posted on KB's missing page asking that people don't speculate, and just get her daughter's face out there, which may have prompted this remark. jmo
