Adams recounted combing through surveillance video of Berreth leaving the Safeway store. He said he saw her vehicle on a Walmart security camera, video from the Williams Furniture store and eventually he accessed video from one of Berreth’s neighbors. That video showed Frazee at Berreth’s townhome. Her townhome became the focus of the investigation in the days leading up to Frazee’s arrest in December.
9:37 a.m.
Adams said Frazee told him he gained custody of his daughter on Nov. 22 and that Frazee never reported Berreth as missing in the 10 days after she was last seen.
9: 35 a.m.
Prosecutors played a recorded phone call of a conversation between Frazee and Woodland Park police officers. In the call, he said they had a heart-to-heart about their relationship not working out and that they wanted to go separate ways. He also mentioned that she wanted her keys and her gun back. He said she wanted space and that he’d respect her wishes. They did not agree to a custody arrangement on that call. He then told the officer that Kelsey texted him on Nov. 25 and that he got a message the following Friday that her “telephone expired.”
Frazee went on to say that she considered moving to Pueblo where she worked at Doss Aviation in Pueblo. Frazee said she moved frequently after arriving in Colorado in May 2016. He said she lived in Colorado Springs first, then moved to Grand Junction before eventually finding a job with Doss in Pueblo.
Frazee said “We lived so separate lives for so long.” and he also claimed that the couple’s exchanges of their 1-year-old daughter were inconsistent.

He says, on the call, that they’d figure out the custody arrangements from there. He says he talked to her about not doing “anything crazy”. He says Berreth felt like they didn’t know each other anymore. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

He says he told Berreth’s mother that Kelsey was spending more time in Pueblo. “I’m not drawing conclusions...” @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

Prosecutors are now calling Chris Adams, Woodland Park Police Commander Chris Adams to the stand. Adams has been working the Berreth case since she was reported missing by her mother on Dec. 2.
9:10 a.m.
The defense called Sheila Frazee, Patrick Frazee’s mother, to the stand to testify. She refused and exercised her fifth amendment rights. District Attorney Dan May said Sheila Frazee would know about a defendant showing up to her house on the day Berreth was last seen, however, Judge Scott Sells ruled in favor of Frazee’s refusal to testify.
9:04 a.m.
The state has named CBI Agent Greg Slater, Woodland Park Police officer Chris Adams and Michael Dalton as witnesses. Krystal Kenney, the woman who pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence for moving Berreth’s cell phone, is not a witness.
9:02 a.m.
The state has added three counts in addition to the two first-degree murder charges and the three solicitation to commit first-degree murder charges.
One of the new charges is for tampering with evidence and two for a crime of violence. This means Frazee now faces a total of eight counts.
8:57 a.m.
Patrick Frazee has arrived in the courtroom wearing a ballistic vest and shackles and a green-striped jumpsuit. News5’s Sam Kraemer notes that lawyers involved in the custody case are attending the hearing as is Frazee’s mother.
