Patrick Frazee arrested, charged with first-degree murder
A Teller County deputy tells News 5 that Patrick Frazee, Kelsey Berreth’s fiancé, has been arrested Friday morning.

Court documents show Frazee has been charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond.

Woodland Park Police arrested Frazee with the assistance of the Teller County Sheriff’s Office. We’re told the arrest occurred without incident.

Woodland Park Police said they will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. We are still waiting to receive Frazee’s booking photo.

We will provide live coverage of that news conference on-air on KOAA 5 and online at KOAA.com.

The news follows recent searches of Berreth’s home where News 5 saw investigators take several loads of evidence Thursday night.

Investigators then zeroed in on searching Berreth’s home days after News 5 also talked with one of Berreth’s neighbors on Monday. That neighbor said she had previously seen two red pickup trucks at Berreth’s home on Thanksgiving Day, when Frazee said he picked up the couple’s daughter.

Fiancee of missing Colorado mom Kelsey Berreth is arrested and charged with murder | Daily Mail Online
Police arrived at the Teller County home of Frazee before daybreak on Friday morning.

He was transported to the Teller County Jail a source with knowledge of the investigation tells DailyMail.com, and the FBI and members of the CBI are now searching the property.

That same source said that Frazee's arrest came after authorities obtained new information about Berreth that has lead them to believe she is no longer alive.

Frazee has yet to be booked on any charges at this time.

Frazee had previously allowed authorities to search his property last week, but after two days combing the 35-acre property there was no news from officials and Frazee returned to his home.

Authorities then returned to the property of Monday for what they later said was just a routine check, and again left without making an arrest of sharing any update on the case.

On Thursday night, officials were seen at Berreth's townhouse well into the night, and just hours later Frazee was placed in custody.

Prior to Friday, the Woodland Police Department had only said that the evidence gathered during the investigation suggested that Berreth's disappearance was suspicious.

Homicide cases very rare in Woodland Park and Teller County

Patrick-Frazee-mugshot.jpg


WOODLAND PARK – The arrest of Patrick Frazee in Woodland Park on a charge of first-degree murder is an unusual event for the area. With a population of a little more than 25,000, the county is home to people looking for a quieter pace of life and easy access to the great outdoors.

Data obtained by News5 shows the Teller County Sheriff’s Office has investigated just three homicides since 2008, which includes two cases in 2013 and one case in 2011.

None of the other law enforcement agencies in the county, including Woodland Park, have investigated a homicide case in more than 10 years. Just next door in Fremont County the Sheriff’s Office has a caseload of 5 unsolved homicides in 2018.

In stark contrast to the quieter nature of Teller County, there’s the much larger El Paso County to the east. Detectives have seen 9 homicides in unincorporated parts of El Paso County this year. And in the last 10 years, a total of 61 cases.

That’s not including cases under the jurisdiction of the Colorado Springs Police, where 36 homicides occurred just in 2018 so far.

Fiancé Charged with Murdering Missing Colo. Mom as Their Daughter, 1, Is Safe in Protective Custody
At a Friday press conference, authorities said more arrests in the case are possible and that cell phone records and other data led to Frazee’s arrest.

The couple’s daughter had been staying with Frazee after Berreth disappeared but is now in protective custody, authorities announced.

Family member JoDee Garretson, who is first cousins with Berreth’s mom, tells PEOPLE, “I’m just relieved. I saw that [the girl] is safe. I don’t know where she is — but I did see she’s safe.”

Kelsey Berreth disappearance: Fiance of Colorado mother missing since Thanksgiving arrested
Authorities said Frazee was also charged with soliciting another person to kill Berreth. No one else was arrested, suggesting that the person may be cooperating with the probe.

De Young said Frazee was taken into custody around 7 a.m. at his home in Florissant and was currently in jail. An arraignment is scheduled for next week.

The police chief refused to reveal any motive for the slaying. He said evidence gathered at Berreth’s home led investigators to believe that her death occurred there.

“Investigators have recovered items at Kelsey’s residence to make us believe the crime happened there,” De Young said.

He also said: “As you can tell, sadly, we do not believe Kelsey is alive.”

Earlier Friday, Frazee’s attorney confirmed his client’s arrest to Fox 31 Denver. The attorney Jeremy Loew did not return a request for comment from Fox News.

Frazee was the only person arrested in the case as of Friday morning, De Young said, and officials wouldn't provide any more detail about how they came to the solicitation charge.

Under the solicitation statute, a suspect would not only have discussed committing a crime with another person but would have taken steps to see it through, May said.

"So, it isn't just a discussion," the prosecutor said. "You've actually done something that shows the firmness of your actions."

Berreth's phone did end up in Idaho, De Young confirmed Friday, adding that police are still working to recover it.
