Stepping out for our first break of the day. Just a quick 15 minutes. So far we've heard from a number of witnesses this morning. Cheryl Berreth finished up her testimony. After that we heard from Clint Berreth, #KelseyBerreth brother. @KKTV11News
10:36 AM - 4 Nov 2019

Lance Benzel on Twitter
UPDATE: #KelseyBerreth’s mom and brother spent two days in her Woodland Park townhouse before spotting first suggestion of foul play. “I went out and told my mom that I think there’s blood on the toilet,” brother Clint Berreth said. #PatrickFrazee @csgazette

A few notes:
- Clint Berreth took the stand. He says he saw the blood while sitting on the toilet. Says it wasn’t noticeable from just standing there.
- Clint has texts showing Kelsey received a text from Erin Frazee’s lawyer wanting dirt on Patrick.

Clint spoke about the last time he talked to #KelseyBerreth. He and his mom flew out Dec 3 to Kelsey's townhome after they couldn't get ahold of her. He said the next day they spent 12 hours at the police department. He was emotional talking about his little sister. @KKTV11News

Prior to that, Clint Berreth and his mom noticed things that were “odd” but nothing definitive: Broom on her bed. Film on pantry doorknob. Makeup still in bathroom. #KelseyBerreth never left home without makeup, Clint said. #PatrickFrazee @csgazette

FRAZEE TRIAL DAY 2: Here are some lunchtime notes.

• Cheryl Berreth retook the stand. She recalled walking into Kelsey’s townhome with a lot out of place. For example, the heat was uncomfortable, an exercise ball was missing and more. She says she put photos of Frazee & Kelsey face down. In her Dec. 2 call with Frazee, Cheryl said Patrick never mentioned going to look for Kelsey. Defense asked her more about the timeline & Kelsey’s finances. Cheryl says it was her understanding that Patrick could provide for Kelsey, and that’s a big reason why she moved. Defense also asked about the living situation. Attorney Ashley Porter said it’s her understanding Patrick lived at home to care for his sick mother. Cheryl said no — it’s her understanding he lived there to care for his animals and that Frazee’s mother Sheila worked too. Cheryl said Patrick was worried if his animals were out of line that Sheila would call animal control.

• Clint Berreth, Kelsey’s brother, took the stand next. He & Cheryl came to Colorado looking for Kelsey and stayed at her townhome while doing so. Clint recalled getting ready to take a shower, sitting on the toilet & looking at Facebook on his phone. That’s when he looked down & saw the blood on the lower bowl. He said it wasn’t visible from just standing in the bathroom, noting the lights were extremely bright. Clint was also asked about his texts with Kelsey. Kelsey texted him that an attorney for Erin Frazee, Patrick’s sister, texted Kelsey asking for dirt on Patrick. Clint said it was his understanding there was a dispute over Patrick’s late father’s assets, figuring it was tied to that.

• We also heard testimony from Kelsey’s neighbor with whom her unit shared a wall and a Safeway fraud analyst. The neighbor talked about Kelsey’s love for her daughter. The analyst confirmed the Safeway video is of Kelsey.

• One of Kelsey’s supervisors, Raymond Siebring, then took the stand. He explained Kelsey was an incredibly diligent & successful instructor at Doss, earning consistent praise from her students. He said she would hardly request sick time. She did on Nov. 14 via text. However, long-term PTO was more of a discussion & entered into the Doss Aviation time management software. He said it was odd for her to text asking for a week off, but he wanted to respect the situation. He said she always would tell the scheduling department of her time off. Her text on Nov. 25 said she would, but Siebring said the scheduling department was never notified. He also noticed the punctuation Kelsey used in her texts changed around the time police said she went missing. He didn’t think much of it until later.

• Before lunch, Woodland Park Police Corporal Dina (unsure on spelling) Currin took the stand. She took the initial call on Dec. 2. Prosecutors played her recorded 15-minute phone conversation with Frazee that day (recorded on body cam). Frazee is very polite, but he shows no concern at all for Berreth’s well-being. He said they had a heart-to-heart the week prior & that Kelsey was done with the arrangement. He said he gave Kelsey her gun, keys and other things back, respecting her wishes for privacy.

UPDATE: Jury hears #PatrickFrazee’s Dec. 2 statement to police about #KelseyBerreth’s disappearance. In 15-minute taped call, he said she dumped him. Wasn’t depressed or suicidal. “We lived in 2 different worlds. She wanted to go down her own path.” @csgazette

NOV 4, 2019
Frazee Trial: day two of testimony
[...]

On Monday, several other witnesses were called. Clint Berreth, Kelsey’s older brother was first to take the stand on the second day of testimony. He described his relationship with his sister as a close one, and spoke of plans to create a Christmas tradition of annual ornaments for his niece.

Clint said he last spoke to Kelsey in November, though he’d sent his niece a crystal ornament and had called several times to make sure it had been received. When he didn’t get an answer from his sister, he said he thought she may have been angry with him for not making Christmas plans.

That memory appeared to be a difficult one for Clint, who began to cry on the stand.

[...]

Inside, he described a confusing scene: the heat was left high, lights were on, and a tray of cinnamon rolls were out – but dry and hard.

[...]

Clint said nothing else seemed obviously wrong until days later, when sunlight highlighted cleaning marks on various items around his sister’s home. After that, he said he noticed blood on the toilet.

[...]

Kelsey’s next door neighbor, AG, took the stand next. AG said she was out of state on Thanksgiving Day, and wasn’t aware Berreth was missing until the following Monday, when a Woodland Park Police Officer knocknockedher door.

[...]

Next, the infamous surveillance video, that captured Kelsey and her daughter walking into the Safeway Grocery Store in Woodland Park on November 22, came into play.

[...]

Her manager, RS, was also called to testify on Monday. The prosecution zeroed in on text messages Siebring received from Kelsey’s phone asking for an extended period of time off following Thanksgiving, to tend to her sick grandmother.

RS said he’d never met Frazee, but mentioned Kelsey had texted that she was planning to bring him to the company’s upcoming Christmas party.

The defense team’s cross examination asked RS to compare punctuation and syntax between messages he received from Kelsey’s phone before and after the Thanksgiving holiday.

[...]
 
NOV 4, 2019
Kelsey Berreth's mother, brother testify of finding blood, other clues
[...]

"I went out and told my mom that 'I think there's blood on the toilet,'" Clint Berreth testified Monday in the first-degree murder trial of Patrick Frazee, the Florissant rancher accused of bludgeoning Kelsey Berreth to death last Thanksgiving.

[...]

Jurors on Monday also listened to a Dec. 2 statement from Frazee to police. In a 15-minute taped call, Frazee said his fiancee had dumped him but he noted she was not depressed or suicidal.

[...]

"We lived in two different worlds," he told police on the recording. "She wanted to go down her own path."

On Friday, Cheryl Berreth took aim at Frazee’s claims that his relationship with Kelsey had deteriorated in the days before her Thanksgiving Day disappearance, and rejected the idea that Kelsey would give up custody of their daughter, Kaylee, as Frazee had told police.

[...]
 
NOV 4, 2019
Officer describes 'lack of concern' from Kelsey Berreth's fiancé after her disappearance
The first member of law enforcement to call Kelsey Berreth’s fiancé after she was reported missing said two things seemed amiss to her during their 15-minute phone conversation.

“The lack of concern, maybe, and there was no … date on the exchange of the child,” Woodland Park Police Department Cpl. Dena Currin said in Teller County court Monday morning. “Those are the only two things I thought were odd.”

[...]

During Currin’s testimony, the prosecution played a recording of the first phone call between Frazee and Currin. During the conversation, Frazee tells the officer that he and Berreth had broken up and were determining how to split custody of their 1-year-old daughter.

[...]

“We lived such separate lives for so long,” Frazee said. “Our exchange of our daughter was in passing.”

[...]

Frazee also told Currin he had returned the gun, something the prosecution claimed during opening statements was his attempt at creating a narrative that Kelsey Berreth had perhaps taken her own life.

[...]

“When I gave her possessions back, that was something that we had addressed was, ‘Hey, you’re not going to do anything crazy?’” Frazee was heard saying in the recorded phone call. “Just our lives have grown so far apart in the last year 1/2, or great, I just wanted space and time to figure things out.”

[...]

“The last text message was at the end of the week, part of the managerial duties is to close the timesheet for payroll," RS said. “And that was the mental prompting that OK, kind of like when we lose a radio in the aircraft, we’ll transmit to the blind. So this was without any response, just transmitting in the blind stating, ‘I don’t know if you want to submit any PTO for this week, but if so, now’s the time to get it in.’”

[...]

“I think the first text message I sent that she didn’t reply to was, ‘What do you want for Christmas?’” CB2 said. “I asked what Patrick, [Baby K], etc. want … I didn’t get a reply from that.”

He sent another series of messages asking if an ornament he had sent to his niece had been delivered.

“No reply,” CB2 said.

Kelsey Berreth murder case: Officer says Patrick Frazee's seeming lack of concern for missing fiancée stood out
[...]

“We basically had a heart to heart that this wasn’t working out, that she wanted to go our separate ways,” Frazee told Corporal Dena Currin on Dec. 2.

[...]

Frazee’s apparent lack of concern during the call stood out, Currin testified during the murder trial of the Florissant rancher.

[...]

Questioning of Berreth’s mother, Cheryl Berreth, also revealed facts about Frazee’s seeming lack of concern. While the search for her daughter was underway, Frazee did not call his fiancee’s mother or attend a candlelight vigil for Kelsey, Cheryl Berreth testified.

FRAZEE TRIAL DAY 2: Good morning all. Today, Cheryl Berreth will retake the stand in the murder trial of Patrick Frazee. Prosecutors have used her testimony to suggest Kelsey Berreth was never accepted by the Frazee family, with Frazee’s mother Sheila reportedly calling her a “hooker” after she spent a night at the ranch.

It’s unclear who will testify after that. We’ve heard possibly Clint Berreth, Kelsey’s brother, could be next.

I’ll share updates around lunch & at the end of the day. Also, check back here for a Facebook live around 7:00 p.m. (MT) or so. I’ll run through my notes more extensively then.

NOV 4, 2019
Bank manager: Patrick Frazee asked for surveillance video of himself from day Kelsey Berreth was last seen
[...]

It was Dec. 5, 2018 — three days after Cheryl Berreth called police and said she hadn’t heard from her daughter in days.

“That afternoon, I was on the teller line — we were a little short-staffed — and two gentlemen approached me and asked if one of my employees was there that day,” Patricia Key, the manager of the ENT Credit Union in Woodland Park, said.

[...]

“Once we were in my office, Mr. Frazee asked if he could see the surveillance or video surveillance from our ATM from Nov. 22,” Key said.

[...]

During her conversation with him, Key said she could access the surveillance video from his trip to the bank on Thanksgiving.

“Mr. Frazee asked me if I could get those things for him and I said I could, he said he was needing to have a timeline for that time because he and his fiance had broken up the day before, he was getting together with her to see about custody for their child, and he needed to set a timeline for where he was the day before,” Key said on the witness stand, adding that Frazee told her his fiancee had gone missing.

“I said ‘if you don’t know when she went missing, how will this timeline help you?’” Key said. “He said ‘well, exactly.”

[...]

That same day, Key said she had spoken to police, who had asked her to look up Kelsey Berreth’s debit card history. The last transaction was on Nov. 22, 2018. That’s the only day she said Frazee asked for surveillance footage showing his whereabouts.

Key said Frazee asked for his bank history that day as well, and looked at surveillance video and photos that showed him at the ATM with his one-year-old daughter in the front seat.

[...]

“What he said was ‘all I know was that after she was seen at Safeway, she’s talked to her mother on Sunday, and no one’s seen her since,’” Key said. “So I stopped the conversation and said ‘if she talked to her mother after Thanksgiving, then she wasn’t missing on Thanksgiving. It was very peculiar to me.

“He was very abrupt and said ‘she didn’t talk to her mother on the Sunday after Thanksgiving’ and I was thinking ‘you just said that,” Key said. “It was just a very strange interaction there.”

[...]

David Felis said Frazee came to the Woodland Park Verizon Store on Dec. 11, 2018 with his one-year-old daughter.

“When he came in, he seemed very nervous, and kind of sketchy, paranoid and was looking around a lot,” Felis said. “One of the first things he told me, one of the first things he said to me was ‘don’t believe what they’re saying about me.’ I said ‘I don’t know who you are, I treat all my customers the same.’”

[...]

Felis said Frazee seemed “particularly concerned” about the security of his cellphone account, and asked if it was possible to gather information from a phone that was destroyed. Felis said Frazee kept asking about the “other phone on his account” and tried to change the PIN on that device so he could access its data.

[...]
 
NOV 4, 2019
Bank manager: Patrick Frazee asked for surveillance video of himself from day Kelsey Berreth was last seen
[...]

The final witness of the day was Fourth Judicial District Attorney’s Office Investigator Chad Mininger. He testified about extracting surveillance photos from Kelsey Berreth’s neighbor’s phone.

On Nov. 21, 2018, the camera was only triggered four times. On Nov. 23, it was triggered three times. But on Nov. 22 - the last day Kelsey Berreth was seen alive — it was triggered 27 times, according to Mininger. Frazee is seen in 11 of the surveillance photos — including as late as 4:30 p.m.

He had previously said he didn’t into Berreth’s house that day, and just exchanged the child. In the surveillance photos, Frazee isn’t seen carrying anything out of the home except for the baby, and there aren’t noticeable stains on his clothes. His back was often to the camera.

Investigator: Camera spotted Frazee at Berreth's place 11 times on day of alleged killing
A neighbor’s surveillance camera “captured” Patrick Frazee at his fiancee’s front door 11 times on the day she was allegedly beaten to death in her living room, an investigator testified on Monday.

[...]

The images were recorded between roughly 12:30 and 4:30 p.m. on the day Berreth, 29, went missing – lining up with claims by Frazee’s mistress, Krystal Lee Kenney, that Frazee killed Berreth before showing up for Thanksgiving dinner at his mother’s house that afternoon.

At roughly 1:30 p.m., the man investigators say is Frazee, 33, entered the home with Berreth, who was carrying poinsettias, and their infant daughter, Kaylee.

And when the man leaves later that afternoon, he is seen carrying the baby, Mininger said. The person on camera is wearing a light-colored T-shirt and ballcap.

Mininger was the last of 13 witnesses to testify on Monday, and he hasn’t been cross-examined, so the defense hasn’t had a chance to poke holes in his analysis. That’s likely to happen when he resumes the stand on Tuesday morning.

The footage was captured by a home surveillance system installed by a neighbor, Mininger told the jury. To preserve memory, the system deletes the videos it records after seven days. But in this case, Mininger said he managed to obtain still images from the neighbor's cell phone – left behind in the phone’s “cached” memory by automatic notifications she received through an application.

Frazee asked her to show him surveillance images from the credit union’s ATM on Thanksgiving Day, asking if a child seat could be seen in his truck. He also wanted her to verify a purchase he made at a Walmart on the holiday.

In explaining his request, Frazee told her he had split from his fiancee, that she had gone missing on the holiday, and that he needed to assemble a timeline in case custody became an issue.

But a moment later, Frazee told Key that Berreth had talked to her mother on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

“I stopped the conversation, because I said if she talked to her mother on Sunday then she wasn’t missing on Thanksgiving,” Key said.

[...]

On Dec. 11, Frazee stopped into a Verizon store with a variety of questions about a second phone on his Verizon account.

“He specifically asked me if the other phone on his account was destroyed, if there would be a way to get information from it,” said David Felis.

During their encounter, Frazee seemed “paranoid” and “sketchy” and at one point asked him to step outside to discuss the issue further. Felis declined. He ended up relaying an account of Frazee’s visit to investigators.

[...]

The jury also heard from Berreth’s supervisor at Doss Aviation, who called her an accomplished flight instructor beloved by her students – right up to the time when she abruptly said in a text that she was leaving Colorado. Prosecutors say the text was from Frazee or Kenney, and they sought to highlight differences in grammar and tone to prove it.

[...]

One investigator, Woodland Park police Sgt. Andrew Leibbrand, said the air was thick with a “pleasant” odor from a scented candle on a warmer.

[...]

Mininger is expected to resume his testimony about the neighbor's surveillance pictures at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
