Yikes! That would be quite telling if she did now wouldn't it? I sure hope not even a little :|
You're welcome, but no way can I take all the credit. There are many members contributing to the media thread and I'd love to name them all but I'm too afraid I would leave someone out.PommyMommy, thank you (and your minions) for all your efforts in keeping up with the news/media reports and posting them here and in the media thread. You are amazing!
Honestly, my first thought was the landfill in Colorado Springs. But that wasn't open on Thanksgiving day, right? Although he may have traveled that way the following day... I hope we learn more tomorrow about where PF was - at least on Thanksgiving day and throughout that weekend.Noted, thanks.
MOO.

Possible motive for Kelsey Berreth killing revealed; friends saw Patrick Frazee as doting father and hard-working rancher
[…]
Police suspect Frazee, 32, killed his fiancee Kelsey Berreth, 29, in her Woodland Park townhome on Thanksgiving Day. She was last seen publicly, just after midday Nov. 22, as she was captured shopping with the couple’s baby on surveillance video at Safeway.
[…]
After searching Berreth’s townhome and Frazee’s ranch, sheriff’s deputies booked Frazee into the Teller County jail in Divide on five felony charges, including first-degree murder and solicitation to commit murder in the first degree. He’s been on a no-bond hold.
[…]
Now he’s the key figure in a sensational murder case that has drawn national attention. Berreth’s body has not been found, and information about the case has been tightly controlled.
So it was with shock and disbelief that some in the community registered the arrest of Frazee on Dec. 21 on suspicion of murdering Berreth, the mother of the couple’s 1-year-old daughter.
A possible motive for the presumed killing was revealed in an amended complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court in the wrongful death lawsuit brought by Berreth’s family against Frazee. In it, they claim Frazee, who had the keys to Berreth’s townhome and possession of her gun, demanded full custody of their daughter and killed her when she refused.
Frazee faces a scheduled preliminary hearing Tuesday when authorities are expected to reveal for the first time details about the charges. The arrest affidavit and other legal paperwork pertaining to the case, sealed since his arrest, could be released at the hearing, said 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Lee Richards.
[…]
‘So kind and helpful’
In the meantime, Frazee’s associates in the community say they don’t recognize the picture of a murderer that authorities have painted of him.
Frazee would respond immediately to help the Two Mile High Club in Cripple Creek, the nonprofit agency that takes care of the town’s wandering donkey herd, said club president Clinton Cline.
As a farrier, Frazee trimmed the donkeys’ hooves several times a year for the past seven years, Cline said, and was on call for burro emergencies.
“He was very concerned about the health and well-being of the donkeys,” Cline said. “When they’d get stuff stuck in their hooves from wandering around the streets, he’d take care of us.”
Frazee had a “good work ethic,” Cline said, and was “very good at his job.”
[…]
The Gazette could not confirm the custodial arrangements of the couple’s child through court documents.
Welfare check requested
The supposition of innocence held by Frazee’s friends took a jolt on Feb. 8 when an Idaho nurse pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence in Berreth’s disappearance and apparent murder.
Krystal Jean Lee Kenney, 32, of Hansen, Idaho, accepted the plea deal at her advisement hearing in exchange for her testimony against Frazee.
“I learned Patrick Frazee had committed a homicide,” Kenney testified in court, reading from a handwritten statement. Choking back tears, she admitted she moved the victim’s cellphone with the intent to impair the investigation.
The charge against Kenney is a felony that normally results in up to 18 months in prison, but no sentence will be imposed until after Frazee’s case has concluded.
Berreth’s mother, Cheryl, asked Woodland Park police to do a welfare check on Berreth 10 days after Thanksgiving, on Dec. 2, when she was unable to contact her daughter.
The following day, Woodland Park police opened a missing person case on Berreth, with Chief Miles De Young announcing on a national television network that the department was searching for her. He asked Berreth to let her family know if she had simply left the area and was safe.
Cline said that Berreth had delivered Kaylee back to Frazee on Thanksgiving, and that “Patrick had no reason to think there was anything wrong.”
The child remained with Frazee until he was arrested, and she was then taken by the state Department of Human Services. Although Frazee’s mother, Sheila, fought for temporary custody of Kaylee, a judge granted Berreth’s parents, who live in Idaho, temporary physical custody.
‘Shocking and crazy’
Alumni from Frazee’s high school class started talking about the case after the arrest.
Graf said he and Frazee didn’t hang out in the same crowd, and he didn’t even remember Frazee being in their class until another classmate mentioned it.
“We were all kind of in shock,” he said. “It’s all very shocking and crazy.”
Frazee was born in Colorado Springs, according to the county jail log. He grew up in Florissant on his family’s ranch and has headed it for years. His father is deceased; his 64-year-old mother lives on the ranch. A brother, Sean, works as a Colorado Springs police officer, and a sister, Erin, lives in Larkspur.
Dana Souligny of Colorado Springs wrote on a Facebook page about the case that her son’s girlfriend grew up as an acquaintance of Frazee.
“She says he’s a great guy, and no one has a bad word to say about him,” Souligny said.
One expert cautioned that abusers aren’t easily identified based on their reputations among friends and co-workers.
When it comes to domestic violence, appearances can be deceiving, said Sherrylynn Boyles, executive director of TESSA, the Colorado Springs domestic violence prevention organization, which serves thousands of victims annually. It’s hardly uncommon for perpetrators to be outwardly perceived as caring.
Victims often describe their partners as “very charming, charismatic and kind,” Boyles said.
Court is at 9 a.m.Wouldn't the landfill itself have cameras at the entrances or someway to document who is dumping things there? I don't think he would go directly to the landfill but perhaps he knew of a dumpster with no cameras. Many businesses were closed on Thanksgiving Day and around meal time/football kick off time the streets of small business areas are practically deserted (at least that has been my observation in every city I have ever lived in). What better day/time to dispose of something in a dumpster unnoticed?
I do hope we learn something tomorrow. The anticipation is driving me crazy.
What time is court?
Wrong. We haven’t heard from PF’s mom on any topic, including her son’s alibi on Thanksgiving.
Interesting we haven't heard much about the anyone cooperating except KK that I am aware of. I wonder if the civil lawsuit will subpoena those surrounding PF? This will be awkward IMO if the criminal trial is ongoing.
Whew! This is a very long article.
