Patrick Frazee, suspect in Kelsey Berreth's disappearance, called 'monster' by ex-girlfriend
"He is a monster."

"He had no empathy for life," Curie said about Frazee, in an exclusive interview with NBC's "Dateline."
Frazee’s attorneys declined to comment about Curie’s allegations as well as Berreth’s disappearance.
Curie said she and Frazee started dating in 2010.
"I was attracted to his sharp wit and he had a very explorative mind. He contemplated everything. And he was excellent at reading people," Curie told "Dateline" correspondent Andrea Canning.
But, four months into their relationship, Curie said Frazee started playing mind games on her.
“He began not calling me for days, and then calling me in the middle of the night telling me he had visions of me in a wedding dress. And we'd talk and argue for hours. And we'd end up winding right back into each other.”
The emotional abuse, as she described it, went on for a year. She said Frazee would put her on a pedestal, then tear her down. But, she said, she continued to be drawn to him.
As their relationship continued, Curie said she observed Frazee, a rancher and popular farrier, hit his dogs.

Curie and Frazee’s on-again, off-again relationship ended in 2014, when Curie said she came across the definition of a psychopath online.
“He fit the bill to a T. And that's when I left him.”
