'At first he was telling me he didn't do it and he didn't know where [Berreth] was, then he became more desperate for me to help him get rid of anyone with evidence against him, and he started passing me all these notes, telling me how to do it.'

The extensive kill list includes Frazee's mistress Krystal Lee Kenney, her husband Chad, her best friend Michelle Stein, District Attorney Dan May, and several 'FBI and CBI members.'

Frazee even suggested that Bentley kill his own friend Joe Moore and Moore's partner Wendi Clarke, calling them 'cash cows' with ' to sell.'
'He told me to rob and kill them to get the funds to complete the rest of the list,' Bentley said, who was subpoenaed to testify in the high profile case this November.
Frazee instructed Bentley to dispose of the bodies 'in the desert,' with one note instructing: 'Dump him out in the desert.'

'She herself tried to hire a hit person,' reads one note.
'That one was referring to Kelsey [Berreth],' confirmed Bentley.
Over a 10-day period, Frazee gave Bentley 17 of the chilling notes, always instructing him to 'flush' the information after he'd committed it to memory.

'He had a deep, quiet voice but turned his head to the side and looked down when talking to you. He wouldn't look you in the eye,' Bentley said.
'After the [TV] special, he was more desperate to get me on board.'

Eventually, after reading through Frazee's numerous notes, Bentley plainly asked about the murder.
'I said ''Look man, did you smoke your old lady? You're asking me to kill a bunch of people''.'
'When I asked that he gave me a look like ''you know what it is.'' He led me to believe he had,' Bentley said.

Bentley believes that Frazee's guilty verdict and heavy sentence was justice being served.
'He's a sociopath...I have no doubt in my mind that he killed Kelsey Berreth,' he said.
