I saw this pic floating around on FB. I can't help but wonder if CB actually shared it, or if someone swiped it.

Perhaps it was shared recently, with the timing just before the PF hearing, to remind everyone to visualize and humanize Kelsey. She wasn’t just a murder victim and statistic, but also a young mother with a career and a family and daughter that loved her.

Interesting that you say that because I'd been thinking how much I'd like to see video of her and hear her voice.

I have these moments where I can't believe what's happened to her. I look at her picture and it's like, no way, she can't possibly be a murder victim. :(
 
I understand the decorum order to mean that cell phone cameras can't be used for recording or photographs (without prior approval), not that cell phones aren't allowed. Let's hope that's right. ;)

MOO

I read this the same way you did, @PommyMommy . One can bring in cellphones, but can't use them for recording, photos or whatever else.

I strongly suspect someone observing this will try and record it anyway. We shall see.

ETA: Here's the paragraph about cellphones, etc., from the above doc (click on it to read text).

Aha! This may explain why our fair farrier has some dead brain cells: sniffing glue much? MOO

Geez!! I shouldn't be laughing, I know, but can't help it. Go figure, a workplace environmental hazard not to mention the kick in the head by a horse. Too bad, so sad. I still have NO sympathy for that monster. I wish a horse, any horse, had taken him out. Beautiful Kelsey would still be with her baby and family.

ed:better wording :)

I can see that and his knowledge extends well beyond that. Loved that info on the old trail where the bones were found.

The old trail and bones were found in Arapahoe County named after the Natives to the area. The whole project will now be shut down to determine the extent of the burial site. Little off topic but that’s what happens when you find bones.
 
I wouldn't call him stupid - I don't know enough about him - but I don't think he's as clever as he thinks he is.

He was thinking and planning to kill KB for at least two months. He either settled on a plan with holes or he got impatient and deviated from the original plan. (Truly horrible: IIRC, CB visited KB in October - when PF was already planning KB's murder. CB said they seemed 'loving'. Little did she know...)

I think he originally had a two-person plan and KK wouldn't go along with it, he got impatient and/or something triggered him Thanksgiving Day, and he tried to modify the plan on the fly to make it a one-man job.

If his plan was to make it look like KB disappeared somewhere on the country highways heading north, he should have figured people would wonder how she left town without a car or purse or phone or keys. That might have been the original plan but KK wouldn't cooperate and he didn't have anyone to give him a ride back home if he took KB's car and remains and 'disappeared' them.

As another poster has noted, it will be ironic indeed if it turns out that the botched attempt to use the cellphone to direct suspicion elsewhere ends up being his undoing.

But KK DID go along with his plan. I think the phone is her stupid idea because she wanted a souvenir of her hated rival. Every time one of her minions speaks, my dislike for KK and PF intensifies.

Missing Colorado mom Kelsey Berreth’s parents —- who are suing son-in-law Patrick Frazee for the wrongful death of their daughter —- allege in new court documents that Frazee murdered his fiancée because she refused to give him full custody of their one-year-old daughter Kaylee.

“Upon information and belief, Frazee had motive to kill Kelsey in that he wanted full custody of [Kaylee Berreth] and/or Kelsey to leave [Kaylee Berreth] with him and Kelsey would not agree,” the parents' attorney, Angela Jones, wrote in an amended civil complaint filed Friday in federal court on behalf of plaintiffs Cheryl and Darrell Berreth.


The lawsuit claims Frazee told Cheryl Berreth a series of lies “knowing that Kelsey was dead because he had killed her, or caused her to be killed, on November 22, 2018.”

On December 2, the plaintiffs claim, Cheryl Berreth called Frazee and asked him if everything was “okay”.


Kelsey Berreth is pictured in an undated handout photo.
Frazee allegedly told Cheryl that he and Kelsey had broken up on Thanksgiving Day and agreed to split custody of their daughter. That same day, Kelsey left Kaylee with Frazee while she “figured out what she was going to do”," according to the phone call documented in the amended complaint.


Kelsey also allegedly asked Frazee "for her things back, so he gave Kelsey her keys and her gun," according to the complaint.

According to Cheryl, Frazee told her that he and Kelsey had plans for November 25, three days after she was last seen shopping at a local supermarket in Woodland Park, Colorado.


"When he later sent a text and she didn’t respond, he figured she had put her phone on do-not-disturb so that she could study, which is something he said that she often did when she was studying or [Kaylee] was napping," the court documents detail.

Frazee allegedly also told Cheryl that despite the relationship starting off well, it eventually turned sour. He had "had enough and wasn’t going to deal with things anymore," because Kelsey was always criticizing him or "putting him down" in front of the baby.

In explaining one possible reason for her disappearance, Frazee allegedly suggested to Cheryl that Kelsey may have disappeared with a friend or co-worker because "Kelsey didn’t always return home directly after she got off of work and that she had gone out to dinner with some co-workers," according to the court documents.

Following that phone call with Frazee, the documents contend that Cheryl called the Woodland Park Police Department and asked them to check on her daughter Kelsey, who told Cheryl that while there were cars in the driveway, no one answered the door.


On December 3, "Frazee called Cheryl-Lee Berreth and told her he hadn’t been able to access Kelsey’s phone records online. He stated that she had set up the online access when she was working in Grand Junction and he didn’t know the answers to the access questions like ‘where did you meet your spouse?’"

Frazee also stated that he thought that Kelsey may have opened her own phone plan and changed her phone number. He told Cheryl-Lee Berreth: ‘I love your daughter.’ He said that Woodland Park is a safe place and the Berreths didn’t need to worry about foul play," according to the documents.

The documents also allege that Frazee encouraged false reports about Kelsey, including that the couple were not engaged, that Kelsey was not Kaylee's primary caregiver, that Kelsey had gone to rehab, that she had run off before, that she had abandoned the baby in Frazee's care and that she "had 'issues' that would warrant Frazee “getting full custody."



On February 8, Idaho nurse Krystal Lee Kenney pleaded guilty to helping Frazee dispose of Berreth’s cell phone. She is cooperating with the investigation and is required to testify against Frazee as part of her plea deal with prosecutors.

Cheryl and Darryl's newly amended complaint even go as far as to venture a guess as to how Frazee may have allegedly murdered their daughter.

"Frazee had an opportunity to kill Kelsey or have Kelsey killed in that he had her keys and, because he had her gun, she was vulnerable to an attack," the documents stated.

Calls to the attorneys representing Patrick Frazee in the civil lawsuit have not been returned.

Last month, a judge granted temporary custody of Kaylee to Berreth's parents, Cheryl and Darrell Berreth. The couple also has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Frazee.

Frazee is due back in court Feb. 19.
