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

I updated our timeline with the notes I took yesterday. Please let me know of anything that should be added, removed or changed.

Since the Timeline is over 45,000 characters I have to post the timeline in 2 separate posts.

TIMELINE: (2008- Dec. 10, 2018)
(updated February 20, 2019)

2006
  • KK told FBI she and PF met each other at a dude ranch in 2006.

January 1, 2017 - Sunday
  • Around New Years Day 2017, PF took KB’s gun because the couple was arguing about finances and KB said “maybe I would be better off dead.” And pointed the gun to her head.

October 2017 (going by tweets - unsure if 2017 or 2018)
  • Slater says KK & PF reconnected in Oct. 2017 talking about a fundraiser.

March 2018
  • KK came out to Colorado in March 2018 and started a intimate relationship with PF at that time. KK says she didn’t know about KB or Baby K.

August 2018
  • KK told police she didn't know about KB and the Baby K until 5 months after they started seeing each other. (which would be around this time if going by March 2018)
  • KB admitted herself in an anxiety and depression clinic for 2 weeks. Slater said the clinic KB went to a center for anxiety and depression treatments. KB was there in August of 2018. The clinic is the Nedley Clinic in CA. It doesn’t address drug/alcohol issues. The clinic told CB that KB didn’t check in there in November.

September 23, 2018 - Sunday
  • KK had a beer with her aunt Kristi before going to KB’s home.
  • KK went to the Starbucks at Walmart and drove over to KB’s townhome with KK’s aunt (Kristi) still in the car. KK told Slater she didn’t put anything in the coffee.
  • Slater: KK parked in the alley. Kristi stayed in the car & couldn’t see where KK went. KK knocked on the door. KB opened the door slightly. KK lied about her identity, said she was a neighbor & wanted to thank her for helping find her dogs. KK gave KB coffee which KB accepted. KK then tried to build a relationship with KB. At PF’s direction, KK suggested a play date in the future. KK gave KB a number for a burner phone she bought, again at PF’s direction.
  • KK told Slater she didn’t drug the coffee because “she didn’t want to hurt her.” KK communicated with PF after this. She said he was angry.

October 15, 2018 - Monday
  • KK arrived back in Colorado on Oct. 15 with plans to try to kill KB for a second time.
  • CBI agent says according to KK, when she arrived in CO she asked PF what she was supposed to do. PF told her she was smart and she would figure it out.

  • She says PF gave her a metal pipe and told her to hit KB in the back of the head and throw her body in the trash
  • PF told KK "It's not that hard" when referring to hitting KB. Slater says KK was told by PF to hit KB in the back of the head, because there wouldn’t be a lot of blood.

Slater says CB was unaware of any trip to Washington state, where her mom (KB’s grandma) lives. CB said that it was unusual to think KB would make that trip without communicating her intent. CB also indicated to Slater that it would be weird of Kelsey to leave without taking makeup, hair products, etc., because she was very conscious of her appearance

Banks told CBI her conversation with PF was on Dec. 3. PF told her KB dropped the baby off, said she didn’t want anything to do with him anymore. PF also reportedly told Banks that KB had drug & alcohol problems. Banks found that odd as no one she worked with pointed that out. Banks thought her fatigue derived from being a mom.

  • KB’s parents texted Slater on Dec. 6 - they believed they found blood in her bathroom & believed there were signs of cleaning up. Slater mentioned blood on a television. CB said a mat for the bathroom was missing and that it looked like things had been cleaned up and moved. They sent pictures of blood in the bathroom as well as possible blood on the door knob.
  • Stiegerwald notes that blood was found at KB’s home by her mom and/or her brother as late on Dec 6. Long after cadaver dogs and police investigated.
  • CB sent photos to Slater. A photo of the bottom part of the toilet bowl shows suspected blood. Second photo shows fridge in the townhome that appears to have white marks. Third photo is a doorknob with suspected blood spots on it.

  • Judge Scott Sells has ordered all witnesses be sequestered meaning they won’t be allowed in the courtroom until they take the stand.
  • The state asked for a written sequestration order.
  • One witness is a Woodland Park Police officer and the state has endorsed Michael Dalton as a witness too.
  • State is prepared to go forward. Two witnesses today are Adams with WPPD and Greg Slater with CBI Colorado.
  • Defense also has a pair of witnesses, SF and Adam Steigerwalk.
  • State’s first witness called is SF, PF’s mother. Her attorney, Joshua Tolini, stands and objects, citing 5th Amendment. Says prosecution hasn't demonstrated she has any involvement.
  • She refuses to answer questions. DA Dan May says he has a right to call & ask questions, saying she has to have good faith basis for the process
  • Defense doesn’t have an opinion either way. SF’s attorney says he’s never seen this come up in a preliminary hearing. May says she has relevant evidence to this case (motive, certain dates when KK was here).
  • May says SF knows about a defendant showing up to her house on Thanksgiving. Assuming that’s KK, since PF lives with SF.
  • Judge Scott Sells rules in favor of SF’s refusal of testimony. Due to the sequestration order, she’ll have to exit the courtroom for the remainder of today’s hearing. But May is still pleading his case.
  • SF will not be made to testify, judge rules, citing attorney's representation she would invoke the 5th.
  • Adams says there was no video/photos to show KK entered KBs townhome. He says a utilities worker & a friend of PF’s showed up on surveillance. Adams said the friend was there to pick up a package.
  • Now talking about neighbor surveillance. It can see access to the only entrance to KB’s townhome. Adams says there are other photos of PF that day, but couldn’t tell if he’s coming or going. He’s wearing a white t-shirt & ball cap
  • Adams says they would’ve known if PF’s clothing was blood-stained. When asked how many photos there are of PF leaving with a black tote, Adams says none.
  • Adams says PF used KB’s computer. He checked if she booked flights & then got into her Facebook. Adams says he changed her password to access the account without permission
  • State now questioning again. The neighbor’s surveillance is through Arlo. Neighbor has the free plan, which has 7 days of storage. Arlo uses a motion sensor to alert the owner. Owner gets an email & quick snapshot of it.
  • Focus now is on Doss Aviation. Slater says CBI went to Doss Aviation & met with a number of people, including KB’s supervisor Ron (no last name given).
  • PF wanted KK to take the remains to Idaho. KK refused. PF said, “we’re finishing this.” So, at PF’s direction, KK texts CB from KB’s phone saying she’d call her tomorrow. SF had Baby K.
  • Slater says a cadaver dog was brought to Nash Ranch eventually. It alerted to the specific discolored hay bale when positioned both underneath and above it.
  • May says SF recovered a steal rod that will tie to more details about solicitation, witnessed the destruction of evidence by way of fire & burning. He’s pleading his case again for her testimony
  • The judge is now asking District Attorney Dan May why PF’s mother should testify. May says she will provide a motive as to why PF is behind KB’s disappearance and that his mother saw them destroy evidence.
  • May asks if SF witnessing PF burning the black tote would equate her conspiring in the crime.
  • May referenced PF’s communication with an attorney in August 2018 about potential action for custody. May says SF had documents on that, which he says help explain the motive.
  • DA Dan May says KK witnessed burning of evidence and that PF directed her to lie about KB in campaign to make her seem a bad mother.
  • DA Dan May states that PF’s mom, SF, saw the “burning of the black tote” implying KB’s body was burned after she was murdered and that the body was in the tote. Judge will decide whether or not SF will testify after lunch.
  • May says he knows about the fire by way of KK. He says SF could establish directly what was happening.
  • SF is going before the judge as a witness. She is exercising her right to remain silent at the advisement of counsel.
  • State wants to ask SF about the phone call on Nov. 22 from PF, witnessing the burn, and more. Judge reviewed the case law citations. He says this is not the time & place for SF’s testimony.
  • Judge Sells says he thinks the evidence the state seeks from SF can be presented from other witnesses. She’s still sequestered, so not allowed in the courtroom.
  • Slater says he wasn’t involved in the search & processing of PF’s truck. Defense asks if he’s aware no blood or other signs of human decomposition were found inside the truck. Slater said no — but that he believed the cadaver dog wasn’t run by the truck
  • Defense now focused on Slater’s conversation with the KB’s parents. Defense pointing out CB didn’t reach out to KB for about a week, between Nov. 25 and Dec. 2.
  • Defense asks Slater if PF alluded to not wanting to give Kelsey her gun back. Slater confirms.
  • Now shifting to cell phone data. Defense asking if he knows anything about the number of cell towers in the area. Slater says he does not.
  • Defense asks if Slater was the one to ask PF to meet on Dec. 4, when they eventually met in Colorado Springs. Slater said no, it was Agent Torres, and that there was an agreement to meet at a Five Guys restaurant.
  • In that meeting — Defense says Patrick talked to his brother Sean before talking to investigators. He then said he’d give a statement, but wanted to talk to an attorney
  • Talking about KB’s admittance to a depression clinic. Kelsey was diagnosed with severe, non-suicidal depression. Defense asks if she lied, knowing she told Doss she had chronic fatigue. Slater said no, they were related.
  • Defense asking if Slater was involved in discussion with KK’s estranged husband. Defense says he didn’t know much about PF. Same goes for KK’s dad, who didn’t notice anything different on Thanksgiving Day when he was with KK.
  • Defense now asking about KK’s Aunt Kristi. She was with KK during her trip to Las Vegas & didn’t notice odd behavior. Kristi, per Slater, was unaware of KK’s relationship with PF and KB’s disappearance.
  • Defense now moving to KK’s interview on Dec. 14 in Las Vegas. She denied knowing about KB & denied having a personal relationship with PF.
  • At some point, investigators bring up the ping from KB’s phone in Idaho. She says she didn’t know. KK also refused to give release her phone records at that point
  • They then went to KK’s home on Dec. 18 with proof she lied to the FBI and about her knowledge of what happened. KK wouldn’t speak without her attorney present, which then happened on Dec. 20 after reaching an agreement with the DA’s Office about her charges.
  • Defense pointing out fact that PF never blatantly said he wanted KK to kill KB. Slater agrees. KK felt like PF was just “pulling her chain”. KK is the one who suggested putting ambien in the macchiato.
  • KK held out and did not cooperate with authorities until the the day before PF arrested or 12/21. And only with a deal in place.
  • Slater confirming KK brought an aluminum bat the third time, which he agrees (with the defense) was the closest she came to committing the crime. Defense points out she didn’t once warm KB about what was happening.
  • Defense points out KK said she didn’t think Kelsey was abusing Baby K, but still drove to KB’s townhome on multiple occasions to try to kill KB.
  • It was KK who tried establishing rapport & gave her the number to the burner phone on the Sept. 23 visit. KK destroyed that phone & actually got another burner phone before her Oct. 15 visit to KB’s home, defense & Slater agree.
  • Defense adds KK used towels to cover a window above the sink, which is on the same wall as the front door to KB’s townhome. Defense going through KK’s clean-up efforts.
  • KK destroyed first burner phone in Breckenridge, and 2nd burner phone destroyed in a fire at KK Idaho home together with KB's real phone. KB reportedly disposed the phone ash/remnants at her workplace.
  • In cross examination, PF‘s attorney is asking lots of questions about why KK never told anyone about the murder even after she saw the “horrific crime scene”. Reminder: KK has plead guilty to moving KB‘s cellphone but not attempted murder.
  • Under cross-x by PF’s attorney, CBI agent Slater says KK told him she came closest to attacking KB as she sat outside her home with a baseball bat. But after driving to Woodland Park from Idaho, she left when she heard a dog bark
  • KK said she believed the couple’s daughter was in danger under KB’s care and that she “couldn’t live with herself if something happened” to the child
  • Defense acknowledging KK deliberately throwing off law enforcement with the cell phone. Slater says that was at PF’s direction.
  • Defense asking about KK’s view of PF. Slater says PF was KK’s first love & that she still loved him. This was taken from interviews with her.
  • Slater says that KK had a relationship with PF and that some of her friends knew. Most family members didn’t.
  • Again, KK never saw KB’s body. She never noticed an odor at the ranch or at PF’s residence. KK went as far as to remove the IDs from KB’s wallet to ensure they’d burn.
  • There were no reported sightings of PF at Nash Ranch between Nov. 22-24. Slater says no.
  • Slater confirms that nothing taken from KB’s town home was found in PF’s possession.
  • Slater also agrees that no one saw PF removing tote with body from house or seeing KK take out trash bags.
  • State asks about KK’s details given regarding her cleaning up KB’s townhome. Slater says she was very detailed & that’s it’s obvious KK has been inside that townhome.
  • State reiterates that testing of certain possible blood spots, which KK pointed out, is not complete yet. But he touts his 30+ years in law enforcement to say he believes those spots are indeed blood.
  • KK told investigators PF asked her to kill KB three different times. Once by poison, twice by beating.
  • State asking Slater about Michelle Stein, a friend of KK’s and former paralegal in Idaho. Michelle, per Slater, was told what happened by KK and she said “she’s done with Patrick.” Slater says Michelle told KK she needed to tell someone.
  • In court: PF’s defense team questions CBI agent about lack of blood in PF’s truck, no signs of him going into her condo with a bat and no one who saw that KK was at condo on 11-24.
  • Defense to Slater: Was PF angry his plan did not come to fruition? Yes.
  • Defense to Slater: PF tells KK to bring a bat and instructs her how to use the bat.
  • Slater says KK smelled gasoline and oil when PF was allegedly burning KB’s body at his home.
  • State is going through details now on facts they’ve provided through previous testimony, emphasizing PF’s instructions to KK to kill KB.
  • According to testimony PF left the murder scene and then went to have Thanksgiving dinner with his family. Later, he allegedly returned to collect KB’s body and burned it.
  • Stiegerwald asked the court to review the third count, felony murder tied to robbery, and suggests the judge review evidence presented today to toss that count out.
  • State replies that the sequence of events is irrelevant. Defense argued the theft took place after the alleged murder. Again, state says that doesn’t matter. Defense now citing case law
  • Judge, citing statutes for proof evident presumption great hearing, says the people have established probable cause in both first-degree murder counts. Same for all three solicitation counts.
  • Judge finds proof evident for tampering with evidence too. He’ll be held without bond. Judge asked defense to set trial or arraignment. Defense asks for arraignment, saying the DA’s Office just emailed 3,300 pages of discovery to him.
  • Judge rules, PF will face trial on suspicion of 1st-degree murder and solicitation of murder in apparent beating death of KB.
  • Judge now addressing motions to unseal the arrest (probable cause) affidavit.
  • DA Dan May says he has no objection to releasing any of the search or arrest warrants after talking with law enforcement.
  • May says there were 32 search warrants in conversation with the defense.
  • Defense still wants it sealed & would like the media to talk with the defense before requesting future motions.
  • Judge ruled to release the arrest warrant, but deferred judgment on the entire docket. Should be released later today or tomorrow — they need time to redact
  • Judge Sells admits he hasn’t reviewed all search warrants, so he will not release those yet
  • State now bringing up its motion for consumptive testing (first brought back on Dec. 31). Defense says it’s not ready to address that. Judge set that for a separate legal argument hearing on March 4 at 8:30 a.m.
  • Defense asks court to amend order limiting contact from PF to Baby F. They’re asking for the court to address it moving forward. Judge agrees.

When does the trial begin? I believe I read something about April 8th? Will it be televised? I watched the Casey Anthony and Josie Arias cases.

I feel that the public would have more closure if the trial is live streamed and/or televised...

Is there any possibility of a televised trial?

I felt as if the public didn’t have closure after the Watts family murders (athough I’m glad he has LWOP).

If the reason they won’t allow media to video the court dates is because they don’t have KB’s remains, I don’t know if they will ever find them. According to the affidavit, he burned beautiful KB’s body and threw her ashes in a river or dump...

I'm pretty sure the trial will be live streamed.

This trial will probably be a long ways off.

The arraignment is April 8.

With a case this complex, and the amount of evidence that has to be analyzed, it sure as hell won’t proceed to trial anytime soon.

I do think it’ll be televised though.

Edited to change “preliminary hearing” to “arraignment.”

I respect everyone’s opinions on here but I can’t let it go that KK is more involved than her side of the story. This is an example why I think there is more to it:
From Affidavit Line 49: “On or about December 4, 2018 Lee told Chad she could not find her cell phone and asked him to take her into town to purchase a new one”.
Line 50: Chad knows Lee has a google email account and had her account information stored in his phone contacts under the name Krystal Lee as “Marlee *****@gmail.com”. Investigators applied for and were granted a search warrant for this account. During a review of that account investigators found Google location data for most of November and December 2018. However, the dates surrounding the murder of Berreth contained no location history.
So tell me why is that time period conveniently erased?

Because she came down to CO and cleaned up the murder scene. She wanted to hide that. She wanted to hide when she left and returned.

There is no evidence she was there before that and if she was, there would be (like her ex's statement or phone pings which later occurred). In addition, there is evidence she was not in CO on that date: She borrowed a car on the 23rd proving she was in ID on the 23rd. It makes no sense that she drove to CO Thanksgiving day or the day before, helped with the murder, then rushed back up, then borrowed a car and rushed back down and then back up again, yet while PF and KB are seen on surveillance at her house, and PF is seen there at 3:30 p.m. or so, contrary to his own statements, KB is not seen on surveillance at KB's home on that date at all. And a witness who has no reason to lie does not state she was missing around Thanksgiving, which he would know as they still lived together and have kids.

CO - CO - Kelsey Berreth, 29, Woodland Park, Teller County, 22 Nov 2018 - #41 *ARREST*

No. The affidavit does NOT state that they do not have KK’s location on the date of murder. It also does not state that they don’t have her phone pings for that time period. It says they don’t have her Google location history for her email account for the dates “surrounding the murder” and it states she got a new phone on 12-4-18, after PF’s phone was confiscated by LE.

Clearly they obtained her phone records and ping data for her old phone because they had the ping data for 11-23 through 11-25. She got a new one on 12-4-18.

I'm still not convinced entirely of the car swap occurring on the 23rd or the purported "reason" behind it. A lot of people had prior knowledge of this, and likely more in-depth knowledge than they admit. I can see people twisting and manipulating things to distance themselves from it as much as possible. MOO.
 
<modsnipped quoted post>

remember, the mom, CB, mentioned to PF that she wanted him to pick up a box that might've been delivered to Kelsey around Thksgiving? I THINK that's what the reference was. And since PF was "in Westcliffe," he sent someone over there? All this is according to liars, tho', so who knows.

In response to a question about why the gun was sent with KK, as I recall, the story was PF returned KB's gun to KB and then KK took it so that it looked like KB ran off with her gun to off herself, being distraught and all from the breakup.

I guess they were thinking suicide on foot without a car and her body or gun is nowhere to be found.

What kind of silly plan was that. LOL

This case really boggles the mind. Its almost like it was being made up as they went along.

I still think PF was going to take her out the night before using a fake stomach issue.
I am thinking she always had her baby with her in her arms where he could never get in a position to club her to death.

Seriously. I feel remorse when I kill a bug---but even I could've hatched a better plan than that.

I dunno, a 14 month old being carried around for hours? I remember being 110 lbs carrying around my 6 month old, and the baby gets very heavy and you get tired pretty quickly.
