Info from people who know PF:
“He worked on my horses for a real short time till he punched one in the gut with a rasp and that was about the last time I let him work on my horses,” -MG

'It's a characteristic that was ongoing for years. Anytime he was at a rope and his horse didn't act right, he'd rip on his face, kick him. In the community, we were all at ropings and stuff, but if the horse doesn't do exactly what it's supposed to do you don't just beat them.' -MG

'One time we were at a rodeo in Cripple Creek and he got mad because his horse didn't do good and somebody didn't heel just right to help him get in the money and he got so mad he left out of Cripple Creek Rodeo, flipped his horse trailer with his horse in it and almost killed that horse.
'He got mad, tries to get his vehicle out of there and there's too many cars tightly packed in. Lots of people were there. -MG

'He was in a rage of being mad and angry, because the heeler didn't heel and they lost out the money. It was kind of a sad deal, especially trying to get the horse out that was traumatic for everybody.' -MG

A former girlfriend of PF declined to speak to the press but her partner commented saying that he knew Frazee to be aggressive with horses and dogs but that he did not beat his girlfriends.
“He cheated on her while she was in the hospital, take that for what it’s worth,” the man said of his current partner’s former relationship with Frazee

'Patrick is a horseshoer, I heard once he was thumping on the horse "saying this is how you've got to do it," that horse reared up and kicked him right in the forehead, he got a bunch of stitches and his [then] girlfriend hauled him to the hospital to get stitches.' -High School Classmate of PF

'Oh yeah, he's a recluse for sure. I haven't seen him in 10 years or so.' -High School Classmate of PF

A neighbor heard 'mixed things' about Frazee's alleged rough behavior with animals.
He was quiet and shy. He had his own friends circle and stayed close to his friends,' he said.
'He did come across, "I'm a big tough cowboy." But that's that cowboy way, got be strong.
'That's how he was raised, he raised horses. I think if you're raised country that's normal, if you're raised city it's going to seem harsh. It's not wrong in his eyes. Sometimes there's neglect and over abuse yes, he'd tread the fine line on it I'd say. You've got make a horse submit to what you want to do. You've got to be kind of firm. You shouldn't hit them.' --Former Neighbor HF

Two friends of Patrick defended him and rejected any suggestion he was cruel towards animals:

'He's an old fashioned cowboy. He's just old school, he does things the old way. He shoes horses modern, but he trains horses the way people used to do it, I wouldn't say that he's cruel or not. He's a stand up real good guy. I've just known him for years and he's a great person.'
The friend said he had not met Frazee's fiancée but added: 'I know the day I saw him he was a great dad to the daughter and he's a good guy. He was fine. --Man who saw PF shoe horses in Sept.

'I know him, when we had horses he used to trim our horses hooves. He was a very nice young man, I knew him all growing up, we used to go to the Gymkhana and the rodeos when he was younger. I've known him since 2003 and I never saw him do anything inappropriate or out of order.' -DR, runs the propane store

"I've always considered him to be a gentle soul. Soft spoken and just really down to Earth and practical." “couldn’t imagine him doing anything that would harm anyone.” -Friend, SO

Relationship info reported by others:

KB and PF met online according to her cousin
PF helped KB move from WA to CO only months after they met
KB told her cousin she was happy when she moved to be near PF
KB often talked about her boyfriend (PF) at her aviation job in 2016
Baby K was born Oct 2017
They were engaged but did not have a wedding date set
They have never lived together -- KB's mom

"The relationship has been good, um, they're loving, um it hasn't been ideal, you know given given the economy and things, you know, they had plans that haven't worked out as they would have liked but they've dealt with that and they've made things work regardless." --KB's mom

"I mean they had plans, you know, they were planning to find a place for them to live and so forth and the economy with prices dropping out...Kelsey's fiance has some cattle and stuff and prices were poor and so the money just wasn't available as soon as they had hoped, but they make it work."-- KB's mom

There were no records of any domestic issues between the couple --Woodland Police Chief Miles De Young

“Like most relationships it has ups and downs but for the most part it's a good relationship,” -Frazee’s lawyer

Bumping my post from the last thread for anyone who missed it the first time.

Admin note: Viewers from around the world are here to read about Kelsey's case. They do not come here to read personal information about our members, about our member's son or daughter, neighbor, post man, etc. Our forum is not a chat room. If you want to discuss personal stories or tidbits take it to your inbox/conversations.

Stay on topic regarding the details of Kelsey's case.

I keep reading theories of PF being in the house before Kelsey returned from Safeway. But, if the neighbor's report is correct, he parked behind both her vehicles, blocking her in. She would have had to be home first, for the neighbor's account to be accurate. MOO

I can't remember when the neighbours said that happened but that could have been during clean up. Or not and he wasn't waiting at home for her.. Hurry up Feb 19...
 
I am wondering if there were very few traces left in an apartment. Usually you would notice if something has been renovated. No one did. So I assume, the death was bloodless. "Violent" would be anything causing suffering. But I doubt it was a gunshot or beating her to death.

Someone mentioned a chimney in KB's apartment. Could PF have tampered with the chimney in some way to cause CO poisoning?

This would leave zero traces. LE would need a ladder to get into the chimney and see the traces of tampering with the shutter or something. KB would have to be immobilized in a certain way. Otherwise, they would just have to wait for 2 hours. No need to clean afterwards. Just let in fresh air.

CO is used often. There are much less frequent, but effective, ways, that leave zero traces. I am not mentioning them here. My felling is, there was no brain matter, no blood, just a witness's report that KB was dead.

Here’s some insight on farrier work. This is old data.

Average Farrier Salary

That is quite a range: from $21,153 (part timers) to $200,000 (farriers who work on race horses and show horses). In between that is $40,000 for farriers who work mainly on pleasure horses. Am I correct in assuming you think he is on the higher end close to $200,000? Can I ask why you think that he would be?

I would put PF in the lower range in my opinion based on the clients I have seen speak to the press about him. He works on the donkeys for the 2 Mile High Club in Cripple Creek which is a non-profit group and may not pay as high as other clients. We're not allowed to sleuth the individuals who spoke and said PF did farrier work for them but my impression from their interviews only is they are neighbors or former neighbors and more in the "owns one or two pleasure horses" category than the "wealthy hobby horse in show/race track" category. And that link also assumes salary for a "good farrier". We don't know that PF was a good farrier-- we only know some said they were not happy with his treatment of their animals and one said she stopped hiring him. That kind of reputation, if true, would be bad for PF's business prospects. PF might have earned more income from his dog breeding, cattle sales and rodeo competing. But it's really anyone's guess how much he made annually. MOO.

If he was in the house waiting for her, I think he got her from behind. With an object. He planned far enough in advance that he would have known not to get too close to her, for the very reasons you stated. I really will be surprised if he didn’t use something like a bat, or something that leaves distance between them.

I also go back to LE knowing she is dead. I don’t think they would know that if she was strangled or suffocated. A dog hit on a scent wouldn’t be enough to charge him with murder. Other than him leaving a digital trail, which would be very stupid given his 2 months of planning, I think they had to find something conclusive at her house to know that she’s dead and was killed in the house. Murder weapon, IMO.
If PF "got her" from behind, why would he need an object other than his arms and hands? PF was a foot taller than KB. CW didn't need a club to murder his wife and children. I do not believe PF planned a murder for months and then was stupid enough to leave the murder weapon at KB's house. JMO
 
I Viewed it several times on one of the Kelsey Berreth's Facebook discussion groups. It is a KRDO/ABC news report. You have to join the discussion group to see it, Kathi Mickel is the news investigator. I imagine there will be more sources soon. They even showed a picture of the Sonic Restaurant and the owner confirmed they had handed over 6 hours of video. During the weekend, many TV stations are slack in their news coverage. Kathi also had in her hand a copy of the Colorado report that reprimanded KK for improper care of a baby and she also showed the green house that KK lived in in Colorado.
I was onboard for that yesterday. They made a mistake about the house and reprimand. Wrong person.

I think that CO would have been too dangerous in case the baby ended up at the scene as well. I keep going back to the search of the house and what they took out of the house and I can't think of any reason except for blood splatter, etc. Also the timing re the announcement that they felt strongly she was dead was tied to the search of her house. We will see what happens..
 
I don’t recall the source, but my understanding is that KB was an SDA. Family interviews I’ve seen make me think she probably kept the faith. I don’t know if she was active in her church in the past, but there is an SDA church in WP only a mile from her home. I hope she found friends and fellowship there if nowhere else.

I don’t believe discussing faith violates WS ToS, but KB’s faith hasn’t really been addressed in any of the posts I’ve read so far. It strikes me that it could have had a profound influence on her attitudes and expectations in a relationship. Attitudes and expectations that PF may have found intolerable. MOO, of course...

http://www.religioustolerance.org/sda2.htm

KB' s faith may matter in terms of certain lack of experience in dating. It may have relevance in terms of pregnancy.

Also, it was my feeling that KB and PF met on a Christian website? I am really, really interested in knowing what role faith played in PF's life.

Beliefs and practices of the Seventh-Day Adventist denomination
Very good synopsis of the SDA faith ! I truly hope KB had some solace in her life prior to it ending in such a vicious way.
 
Yes it is. But she went on to some level of college and became a flight instructor. It seems that she went a different way than the country life. And we never saw images of her in a cowboy hat or anything related to that lifestyle.

My point was that she probably didn't fit in very well in Woodland Park. I certainly don't know, but she didn't seem to have any close friends there.

Nobody checked on her locally. This is odd, but I think it is explainable.
is the rodeo scene clicky??
if so KB not fitting in could likely be a huge issue for PF.
 
I'm not clear on what that tweet is saying? At first I thought the photo meant the police were at her hospital right now asking for her time cards but the photo is not outside the hospital where she worked. And the statements in the tweet that on their face seemed to be "new info" have question marks after them. o_O:confused:

ETA: Here is the hospital building: Google Maps

ETA2: Tweeted photo of police cars appears to be outside the Twin Falls Courthouse or Sheriff's office building: Google Maps

Many places dont use physical timecards anymore

There are medical time documentation programs that rely on log-ons and log=offs that are much easier to document and measure attendance. The h0spital could provide them easilty by scanned documents to LE so LE would not need to be at the hospital

I agree. And I don't mean to pick on anyone in particular but why are so many assuming PF would have to surprise KB by hiding in her house (or nearby) or go to great lengths to have someone call him and tell him when she was on her way back from the grocery store that is only a couple miles away? She told her mom she was planning to have dinner with her fiance and her daughter. Do some think those plans were a lie on KB's part? If those were the plans in KB's mind, all PF had to do was show up to her house just after she got back from the store and offer to entertain baby K while Kelsey got ready for their date. KB might have even texted him herself to tell him when she was on her way back from Safeway. PF could have put the baby into her car seat in another room. Then he could have attacked KB while she was in the bathroom getting ready. But no matter how he did it, she likely would not be on her guard around him. Her mom said in an interview that when she saw KB in October there were no signs she was afraid of him. MOO

Only in hindsight, I don't feel he has done extensive cleaning or painting.

Some details we shall probably never know, like with CW case. If the method of killing was rare (I sometimes hear about weird, but strangely effective, ones), we may not even get to know what exactly he did.

Agree 100%. He watched her child most of the time. If you get suspicious you never trust the person with your child. KB did.
 
Leaving it with you all for tonight ! Have something great for me to read in the AM while I drink my coffee then back to real everyday life. After watching "Dirty John" I think everything is possible with a player of the Internet .
