  • PF originally, took KB’s body from her residence, and stored it in a black plastic tote with silver handles at the Nash Ranch on the 22nd of November. The tote was stored in a barn on top of a hay stack at the ranch, and PF used a tractor to put the tote up high.

  • Slater says CBI also collected buckle swabs of C & C Berreth. They also took a toothbrush, mouth guard and bottle nipple. They got positive DNA for KB from those items.
  • Agent Slater says when he looked in the toilet he saw what appeared to be suspected blood in KB’s bathroom . Toilet, bath tub, trash can, parts of floor, opposing wall, vanity, bathroom door hinges, and electrical outlet he said all tested positive for blood.
  • Slater says the blood found does match KB’s DNA profile.
  • They concluded she may have been killed in the bathroom.
  • DNA of another male was found in KB’s sink. Tests revealed it wasn’t that of PF.
  • Slater says luminal was used on at KB’s hardwood floors at her townhome on Dec. 6 to find DNA, but it didn’t react. They (CBI) later tore out some of the hardwood floor in the living room.
  • Investigators did luminal tests on Dec. 6 at KB 's apartment and found KB’s blood DNA profile all over the bathroom including on the toilet, trash can, floor, wall and door hinges. Prosecution asked, “Is it fair to say KB met with foul play?” Slater said, “Yes.”
  • They also used Blue Star, a chemical that reacts with blood that can’t be seen to the naked eye, Slater said. Areas of the bathroom tested positive in that test, including the toilet, exterior of bath tub, bottom of trash can, floor, wall opposite of toilet, vanity, hinges.

You have CL and KK marrying in 2000 but later state they were married 8 years. Do you mean 18 years?
 
Oh heck no! I'd have locks, dead bolts, and a security system set up in case she came around, if she had been my friend. I'd be so repulsed if any friend did such a thing, I couldn't even look at them again. I'd be way too disgusted.
Unfortunately, I’m not so sure. Her friend MS, said this in her interview with CBS:

What was the reasoning?” asked Battiste after Stein said she believed her friend had “very, very good reasoning for whatever it is she may or may not have done.”

“I can’t really comment completely, but fear, and legitimate fear.”

“That if she didn’t comply with Patrick, he might kill her?”
Yes, that’s what I believe,” Stein replied.


If she’s willing to make excuses for her, I wouldn’t be surprised if more of her friends do the same.
 
And that is what bothers me about why she left it... She did all that in the first place to get there and be confronted with that but purposefully left blood
I know- why bother even coming to Colorado? Why not just call the police and tell them you think that a homicide may have been committed and ask them to swing by the townhouse?

I just don't get why she had to come "clean up the mess"! I also don't get why in the hell she actually did it! I would be so shell shocked and upset- no way, could I drive all that way, clean up a crime scene, then burn the poor woman's body after, then go home like nothing happened. I would literally be in a mental hospital, suffering from a breakdown, after all that. I just can't imagine doing this. That's why I am hard on her- she's a mother herself- how would she feel if someone did something so evil and cruel to one of her children? She has no soul, and neither does Patrick.
 
iMO she’s just sloppy - she remembered where the blood was (either from memory or there were pictures - I think pics) she was tired if we are to believe the driving all night timeline and phone pings placed her there rather than at PFs - affidavit - I think she was just tied and sloppy and left blood evidence JMO

Point 70 of the affidavit states she left it there for them to find she described the fireplace which was confirmed by them in photos viewed afterwards... Doesn't read like they showed her where it was left
 
I think the DA knows KK lied and that's why the deal will be called off. Her story makes no sense. She claims she left blood evidence so LE would more quickly find her yet when LE did first contact her, she lied. The defense will have a field day with KK on the stand.

JMO

Is it your opinion that the deal will be "called off" or have I missed something in the past few hours?

@gitana1 what ARE the odds of them reneging on a deal that they made her?
 
It seems in death if looked hard enough, that there are bittersweet moments or even coincidences that help the living hope that there was some happiness in their lives. My son 3 years ago and my mother and brother only 35 days apart less than a year ago passed in unexpected terms and there are some amazing things that helped me through. JMO
It's really upsetting because I think that quote was a year ago. :-( Her latest pins from 3 months ago were of holiday decorations/pretty Christmas trees.
Justice for KB can't come soon enough.
 
Thanx for the photos! weren't there a couple of outside shots with that listing? I wonder if the neighbor's surveillance cam can be seen.

Yes, here are those pics. I don't see any cams, but you can imagine what it captured The pics from when her condo was searched have closer views and might show a cam.

If the cam was on the lower part of their condo by their door, maybe it only captured a taller person. Pointing from below, over the fence, to her door.

You haven’t missed anything, that deal isn’t going anywhere.

Obviously, the DA was aware of all of this, and still offered her the deal.

We simply became aware of the nature of her involvement the other day, while the prosecution already had this information.

These lies aren’t material to the case against PF.

I know you aren't asking me. And I'm not an attorney ,But I would think she would have to totally change parts of the story when she is on the stand. The prosecutor will go over questions and answers with her beforehand and she will be warned not to deviate from what she has previously stated to them as fact. MOO
 
Is the Midway Landfill in Fountain, CO the same landfill?

The Waste Management (WM) facility in Divide is a transfer station, located next door to the Teller County Sheriff's Office building. They literally had their eye on what he dumped the whole time that it took to get a warrant, then they searched it, taking several items. Whatever is collected at Divide is trucked daily to the Waste Management (WM) landfill in Fountain. There is also a Waste Management (WM) transfer station just west of Woodland Park. That refuse also gets trucked daily to Fountain.
At Fountain, they are very well organized and keep immaculate records. I believe they have been able to tell LE where to dig, pretty precisely, to locate what they are searching for.
IMO

I seriously hope KK doesn't hold up her end of the stick and her plea gets tossed. jmo
 
Yup. She’s a disgusting human being and a liar.

She wasn’t in Colorado though, so she’s not a killer too.

Unlike PF

I believe there's more to the story (for instance, I don't think KK was afraid of PF and did what she did out of fear) but I don't think she killed anyone. Her story may not make sense to those of us who are rational and ethical human beings, but in its own twisted way it makes sense within the context of this narrative. For example, I think there's another reason why KK was at his beck and call. I am assuming that there is much more information that hasn't been released and I'm optimistic that when that info comes to live, some of those blanks will be filled in.

My biggest question right now is why so many people seemingly knew about this either before or after it happened and nobody thought to yell "Fire!" KB's life could have been saved and even after her disappearance the anguish of not knowing what happened could have been spared of her family had one of those people spoken up.

Lots of people Failed KB no doubt about it! And there is no other way anybody can spin it! MOO
