The cost could *easily* have been a lot more. Chief Miles De Young told me around 200 people helped in the search & 40 agencies were involved. Not to mention all the donated food. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth

Shouldn't they have gotten the funding approved before they spent the money?
 
Kelsey Berreth’s bathroom was covered in her blood, accused killer had faked text messages, documents reveal

SABBM:

Frazee, who was the last person to see Berreth alive, also had a bottle of bleach and a Swiffer mop that tested positive for blood in his possession.

We're all definitely going to learn everything we ever wanted to know about pings (and then some) at PF's trial.
The electronic evidence is unquestionably going to be an important piece of the prosecution's case.

Having said that, the above snippet reminded me that there is also going to be an abundance of DNA evidence that will be used to prove PF's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that it will be KB's blood on that Swiffer that was in PF's possession.

That's just one of the many damnable facts that PF won't be able to slither his way around.

JMO.

I don't know how important it will be, but there's also a piece of evidence that hasn't been tested yet because of 'consumptive' testing issues. At this point, I don't think we actually know what that bit of evidence is or where it came from.

Right, good reminder, thanks!

I'm recalling a swab was taken from the washing machine at the ranchette...that's certainly one possibility.

There are of course many, many others. Thanks to PF.

Because optimism is my middle name I still have a feeling PF's attorney will convince him of the handwriting (in blood) on the wall and he'll plead guilty.

I also expect to see another avalanche of evidence drop in the next year, maybe even before the trial, and with some big surprises.

The cell phone records were central to roping in the rodeo queen but the blood will be the key (not that having the deceased person's phone nestled in with yours for days is insignificant). DNA Rules and having it spread under the wood floors diluted from the clean-up matters.

<modsnipped>

Optimism helps me sleep better until justice triumphs.

I am an optimist as well. :) Just jumping off your post to say that I'm a little disappointed we haven't heard anything about ABC's 2/27 request for the hearing exhibits and CBS's 3/6 request for a transcript. We need something to chew on here before this thread gets too far out into the weeds. MOO

I updated the timeline with the following information:

May 2, 2019 - Thursday
  • WP City Council Meeting - WP Police were authorized to spend $80,000 on the landfill search for KB's remains. That money went toward equipment, fuel, food, overtime and more. The appropriation was approved by city council at the meeting.
 
Timeline - PART 3
(March 1, 2019 - June 24, 2019)

March 1, 2019 - Friday
  • PF filed a motion in Teller County District Court asking a judge to deny a claim by Berreth’s parents. Colorado’s wrongful death statute clearly states that the Berreths have no standing to make a legal claim based on the alleged wrongful death of Kelsey Berreth, the motion says.
March 4, 2019 - Monday
  • PF - Legal Argument Hearing - 8:30 am
Inmate #: 2018001543
Booking #: 18-02029
Case #: D602018CR330
  • Judge agreed to unseal 22 of the 28 search warrants, he did not allow the exhibits displayed at the preliminary hearing to be made public. Both the prosecution and defense agreed that they did not want those released ahead of the trial. Some of the 22 warrants to be made public this week detail records from Verizon, Google and Facebook.
  • The state and defense agreed to move a decision about consumptive evidence testing until after PF’s arraignment. Consumptive testing involves evidence that can only be tested one time, likely due to the size of the evidence or the material in question.
March 6, 2019 - Wednesday
  • Search warrants released
Colorado Judicial Branch

March 7, 2019 - Thursday
  • Motion filed by defense
March 11, 2019 - Monday

  • PF - Arraignment - 8:30 am
Inmate #: 2018001543
Booking #: 18-02029
Case #: D602018CR330
  • The defense requests a continuance. The people have no objection.
  • No plea today. Judge Sells reschedules arraignment for 5/24.
  • Both parties want seven more weeks for forensic evidence testing. Defense feels PF needs that information before moving forward.
  • Judge Scott Sells says he doesn’t think it’s appropriate to set a trial date until all parties have more info on forensic testing.
  • Judge granted defense access to DHS records.
  • The testing they’re waiting on is the consumptive testing, which they still have to finalize a procedure for. May says some of the evidence hasn’t been tested yet.
  • May says it’s not the time to think about pursuing the death penalty. It must happen after arraignment. After the plea, they have 9 weeks to decide.
  • When asked about a change of venue, May says that’s a question for the defense, who would request that.
  • May says he won’t comment on whether a plea deal is being pursued.
  • Beth Reed talked about the social services record. She’s referencing the lack of reports suggesting Kelsey Berreth harmed her daughter (like PF claimed). She says these records are post-arrest.
April 17, 2019 - Wednesday
  • Woodland Park Police have concluded their search of the Midway Landfill. They did not find KB’s remains.
May 2, 2019 - Thursday
  • WP City Council Meeting - WP Police were authorized to spend $80,000 on the landfill search for KBs remains. That money went toward equipment, fuel, food, overtime and more. The appropriation was approved by city council at the meeting.

KB, PF and KK’s cell phone communication and locations information between Nov. 22 - Dec. 4
  • Nov. 22, 2018 - The analysis of the cell phone data revealed that KB and PF cellular phones connected to the same Verizon tower in WP at 12:23 p.m when KB missed a call from PF at 12:31 p.m.
  • Nov. 22, 2018 - Both KB and PF’s phones were seen by towers near Cripple Creek in the evening, traveling in the same directions and often similar distances from the cell towers hen measurements were captured by the Verizon network. This would indicate the phones were likely together.
  • Nov. 22, 2018 - KK spoke with PF at 4:30 p.m. PF texted KK asking for her to call him. PF eventually called KK, saying, she had to get to CO because she had a mess to clean up. KK interpreted that as KB was dead. Cell phone records support this cell phone conversation.
  • Nov. 23, 2018 - both KB and PF’s phones utilized the Verizon cell tower in Florisant, along with the sector facing PF’s residence when PF’s phone called KB’s phone in the morning. Later in the day, both phones then appear to travel together from the area of PF’s residence towards the same area west of Cripple Creek and both phones had visited the prior evening before returning in the direction of PF’s residence.
  • Nov. 24, 2018 - Both KB and PF’s phones utilized the Verizon cell tower in Florisant, along with the sector facing PF’s residence when PF’s phone called KB’s phone first thing in the morning. Both phones eventually travel to same area west of Cripple Creek.
  • Nov. 24, 2018 - Call records indicate PF and KK communicated at 7:23 a.m., 10:47 a.m., 11:39 a.m., 1:06 p.m. and 5:21 p.m. (KK initially told LE she was at PF’s residence at this time)
  • Nov. 24, 2018 - KK’s cell phone was connected to a cell tower and also to a sector of that tower that would service KB’s residence on the morning of Nov. 24, 2018. The tower is some distance from the PF residence and likely wouldn’t service his residence.
  • Nov. 24, 2018 - KK sent Meghan a text message in the afternoon, asking if she could stay the night at her house because she had too much to drink. Meghan said the content of the message was false and was only meant to establish an alibi in case CL checked KK’s phone or called Meghan to see where KK was.
  • Nov. 24 and or Nov. 25, 2018 - KB’s cellular phone likely traveled from CO via I 70 into Utah and I 15 through Salt Lake City into Idaho during the evening of Nov. 24 and/or the morning of Nov. 25.
  • Nov. 24 and or Nov. 25, 2018 - KK’s phone traveled back to Idaho on the 24th or 25th of November. KK’s phone was connected to the exact same tower an sectors in a remote area of the Colorado/Utah border on the morning of Nov. 25. KK’s phone was connected to the tower at approximately 4:13 a.m., 4:17 a.m. and 4:23 a.m. KB’s phone was connected to the tower at approximately 4:11 a.m. and 4:16 a.m.
  • Nov. 25, 2018 - Last activity for KB’s phone at 5:13 p.m. approximately 6.38 W/Sw from a Verizon cell tower in Gooding, Idaho.

If he actually tried to clean up blood with a swiffer, he’s more stupid than I thought.

Agree but this is just a Fox News repeating what we have already heard. Not verified until we hear it in court.
 
A bottle of bleach of unknown brand, a bottle of Simple Green cleaning product, and a green in color Swiffer cleaning unit are the subject of SW 18-120, listed in attachment “B”page 28. A good description of the simplicity of the presumptive testing procedure with Hemastix is found on Page 25, last paragraph. SW 18-120 was written December 17, 2019, and executed on December 19, 2018.
Hemastix is a very simple test strip with detects the chloride and hypochloride chemicals present in human blood in liquid suspension, most household bleaches and many bottled household cleaners. The strip will turn to green if the end of the strip contacts blood, or the household products in sufficient concentration. If the household products are in lesser concentration, the strip may turn various shades of pale green or even pink. The explanation given in the Affidavit is that these three products were actually tested on December 14, 2018 and were positive. It does not mention what color the test strips turned, or whether additional check testing was done with another product as recommended by the manufacturer(s) of the product. None of the courtroom tweets from the cause hearing of February 19, 2019 mention these items, and they were not introduced into evidence during that hearing.
My opinion is that the defense could have serious questions when this evidence is introduced. IMO

This crime was so gruesome. I just don't get it. What was the point of killing her? He didn't want to pay child support? And she actually let him in the house, put on a blindfold, to "smell candles", and he whacks her with a baseball bat?!

Where did all of the blood come from? Hitting her? Or did they dismember her body?
