Camera spotted Frazee at Berreth's place 11 times on day of alleged killing, investigator testifies

Nov 4, 2019 (updated 9:30pm pst)

CRIPPLE CREEK • 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 Monday.

[...]

Only the jury can decide if it’s a smoking gun, however. In each case, the man had his back to the camera — leaving 4th Judicial District Attorney’s investigator Chad Mininger to essentially assert that the person is Frazee.

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.

“This is the last image I ever recovered of Kelsey Berreth, period,” Mininger said. Investigators say she was never heard from after that.

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 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 cellphone — left behind in the phone’s “cached” memory by automatic notifications she received through an application.

[...]

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

The neighbor whose surveillance camera recorded #PatrickFrazee was at her mother's house for Thanksgiving. Her camera -- sensitive to light and sound -- "triggered" 27 times that day, compared to four times on Nov. 21 and three times on Nov. 23. #KelseyBerreth @csgazette

The last witness to testify Monday was an investigator from the @4thJudicialDA. He testified he was able to look at a neighbor’s security system which allegedly caught #Frazee at Berreth’s front door multiple times Thanksgiving 2018- day she went missing
7:23 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Daniela Leon on Twitter
Other interesting testimonies included employees who worked at a Woodland Park cell phone store and bank. #Frazee went to both of these separate locations after #kelseyberreth went missing. Employees notified authorities after their conversation with #Frazee
7:27 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Daniela Leon on Twitter
The bank employee says #Frazee asked her for ATM security footage of him on Thanksgiving Day. He told her his finace went missing that day and needed a trail.
7:29 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Daniela Leon on Twitter
The ATM employee says #frazee told her that #berreth spoke to her mom Nov. 25... that employee basically called him out and said “If she went missing on Thanksgiving why would she have spoken to her mom days later”. She also described #Frazee as abrupt
7:31 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Daniela Leon on Twitter
She said it was odd that there was a “lack of concern” from Berreth’s fiancé.
7:32 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Daniela Leon on Twitter
A Verizon store employee later took the stand and said one of the first things #Frazee told him was to “Don’t believe everything they’re saying about me”. This employee knew Kelsey was missing but didn’t know who Frazee was
7:33 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Daniela Leon on Twitter
He said Frazee asked him “If a phone was destroyed could someone still access the phone.”.... Kelsey Berreth’s phoner last pinged on Nov. 25. Krystal testified she moved her phone. Prosecutors said Friday that Krystal later destroyed the phone.
7:34 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Daniela Leon on Twitter
No word yet on when #KrystalKenney will testify. Remember she’s the prosecutors star witness and Dan May said in a previous press conference that they wouldn’t have even known about the crime if it wasn’t for her.

#PatrickFrazee trial day 3: just let out on a short morning break. So far and investigator with the DA’s office finished up his testimony on neighbors surveillance that shows Frazee and #KelseyBerreth going into her home on Nov 22. We never see Kelsey come out. @KKTV11News

Pointing to 2 photos from same time— each with dramatically different lighting—public defender Adam Steigerwald turns pointed: “I know you’re a forensic cellphone reconstruction expert, but that’s not the way the sun moves, is it?” #PatrickFrazee #KelseyBerreth
10:21 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Ashley Franco on Twitter
There is a gap in the surveillance from about 1 pm to 4pm when no one is shown. Then around 4:20 you see #PatrickFrazee walk out with the couples daughter. Prosecution and defense both asked if this is when the black tote was taken in. Investigator couldn’t tell. @KKTV11News
10:21 AM 5 Nov 2019

Ashley Franco on Twitter
For reference, in the surveillance there is a fence that goes up to Patrick’s waist so you can’t see clearly below the waste due to the fence. Reminder; this is a neighbors surveillance. @KKTV11News
10:22 AM 5 Nov 2019

Sam Kraemer on Twitter
Morning notes:
- Defense makes a clear point that not once is Frazee caught on neighbor surveillance carrying the black tote. His clothes also show no blood.
- Defense also pointed out changes in shadows, trying to strike doubt in them.

- WPPD Corporal Beth Huber took the stand next. She’s working through her work on the case, including surveillance review of Kelsey at Safeway. We saw a new photo of her buying some bread. It seems clear her child is with her.
@KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee
10:22 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Sam Kraemer on Twitter
- Prosecutors pointed out that Frazee doesn’t actually exchange custody of the child in the alley, like he told police. The neighbor surveillance shows him at the door 11 times on Nov. 22, between noon and 4:30. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee
10:23 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Lance Benzel on Twitter
The attack forced a caveat by witness Chad Meninger, who acknowledged his analysis of timeline depends on when neighbor looked at each image in her phone. If she looked out of chronological sequence, pics would be jumbled, too. #PatrickFrazee #KelseyBerreth
10:23 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Elected DA Dan May, part of prosecution team, sought to recover. He elicited testimony that even if some images were out of order, none would be more than roughly an hour off. #PatrickFrazee #KelseyBerreth @csgazette

Huber also emphasized she was looking for Berreth’s purse, keys and gun that Frazee said he gave back to her when serving a search warrant on Berreth’s home. She said they were never found. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee
10:25 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Elise Schmelzer on Twitter
Defense for Patrick Frazee tried this morning to dispute the accuracy of the timeline created with the surveillance footage from neighbor’s house. Noted that two photos taken at same time have very different shadows. But they did not dispute that it was Frazee at the condo.
10:25 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Elise Schmelzer on Twitter
We’ve now moved on to a Woodland Park police corporal. She found the footage of Kelsey in the Safeway after seeing a receipt in Kelsey’s truck. Also talked with Frazee at least twice the day Kelsey was declared a missing person.
10:25 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Elise Schmelzer on Twitter
That first day, Cpl. Beth Huber worried thay Kelsey might be suicidal and asked for the last time her phone pinged a tower. Found that the phone last pinged on Nov. 25 in Gooding, Idaho.

As another witness arrested, this leaves #PatrickFrazee’s defense with explaining to do. That’s because Frazee told police he stopped by #KelseyBerreth’s condo once on holiday to get baby, and left at noon. @csgazette

DAY 3 LUNCHTIME NOTES:
- Defense Attorney Adam Stiegerwald was calculated in his cross-examination of a DA’s office digital evidence expert. He points out the neighbor surveillance video never once caught Frazee carrying a black tote or with blood on his clothes. Stiegerwald then tried casting doubt on the photos, as the shadows shifted dramatically, sometimes within the same minute. The expert, Chad Mininger, said it’s possible that cloud cover was responsible, though he isn’t an expert on that.

- The state called Sean Frazee, Patrick’s brother, to the stand, and his testimony was very interesting. His demeanor showed he really didn’t want to be here: quick, short answers and a subtle shyness. He says the kids (him, Patrick and Erin) are still in a legal battle for their late father’s assets, which he estimated at $400,000 including property. DA Dan May says that will come into play later. Sean detailed some parts of Thanksgiving Day, saying Patrick parked on the side of the house rather than out front. He also provided context on the time he was with Patrick on Dec. 4, when police took his phone. Sean asked if they had a warrant. They said no, but that they were getting one, so Sean told Patrick to give it over. When Sean was excused, I saw him look at his brother, turn his head and roll his eyes. He says they haven’t been close over the last 2-3 years and that he never knew Kelsey.

- Another DA’s Office investigator, Stephanie (spelling?) Courtney, has testified about her work tracking down Frazee’s whereabouts the day of Nov. 22. She analyzed video from Walmart, Ent Credit Union and the Williams Furniture Store (all in Woodland Park). The Williams video shows the black tote move in the back of Frazee’s pickup. It faces on direction before facing another four hours later.

Those are the main points that stand out to me. Again, I’ll shoot for a Facebook live around 8 p.m. (MT) or so.

Kelsey Berreth murder case: Patrick Frazee's brother, a Colorado police officer, takes stand in murder trial
Patrick Frazee’s brother – who is a Colorado Springs police officer – took the stand Tuesday morning in Frazee’s murder trial and said he didn’t know what to think when his brother’s fiancé disappeared because he didn’t know her that well.

Sean Frazee, a spitting image of his brother albeit with a mustache, described his relationship with his brother as distant.

“I don’t know that we’ve been on bad terms, we just haven’t been close,” Sean Frazee said of his brother.

[...]

Sean Frazee said he arrived at the Florissant ranch about 2:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Patrick Frazee and did not arrive at the house until about 5 p.m., after the family had already eaten, he said. Patrick brought his and Berreth’s daughter, Kaylee, with him, Sean Frazee said.

Patrick Frazee previously had told his brother that he and Kelsey Berreth had separated, and on Dec. 3 Patrick Frazee told his brother that Berreth’s mother had reported her missing, Sean Frazee said.

“He explained to me that her grandmother was sick and that she may have been visiting her sick grandmother,” Sean Frazee said.

- Sean Frazee, Patrick’s brother, took the stand next. He says the Frazee kids (him, Patrick, Erin) have had an ongoing legal battle for their late father’s assets. He says they’re worth around $400k. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

11:21 AM - 5 Nov 2019 pst

Sam Kraemer‏ @SamKraemerTV

Sean says he hadn’t been close with Patrick in 2-3 years. On Thanksgiving, Sean says Patrick came to dinner about two hours late and parked on the side of the house. Sean says he spent half the time outside doing chores. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

11:22 AM - 5 Nov 2019 pst

Sam Kraemer‏ @SamKraemerTV

Sean was with Patrick at a Colorado Springs Five Guys in Dec. 4, when police came to meet for a welfare check on the child. They asked to take Patrick’s phone. Sean says Patrick looked right at him, so Sean (a Colorado Springs police officer) asked for a warrant #KelseyBerreth

11:23 AM - 5 Nov 2019 pst

Sam Kraemer‏ @SamKraemerTV

The police said they didn’t have one, but that they would get one. Sean says he told Patrick to give it up and he did. On his way out, I saw Sean give Patrick a strong look, then turn his head and roll his eyes. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

11:24 AM - 5 Nov 2019 pst

Sam Kraemer‏ @SamKraemerTV

We’ve also heard from another DA’s office investigator. She used surveillance to track Frazee’s whereabouts on Nov. 22. It shows the black tote in the back of his truck was moved between noon and 4:30 p.m. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

11:26 AM - 5 Nov 2019

Sam Kraemer‏ @SamKraemerTV

Remember, prosecutors say he put Berreth’s body in that tote after beating her to death with a baseball bat. That’s all that stood out to me so far. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

Patrick Frazee trial: Frazee's brother takes the stand as picture emerges of day Kelsey Berreth went missing
[...]

Sean Frazee said his brother, Patrick, arrived late — about 5 p.m. — to their mother's house and missed Thanksgiving dinner.

His testimony matched up with surveillance camera footage taken from outside Berreth’s townhome, which allegedly captured Patrick Frazee nearly a dozen times between 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. that day. It takes about 20 or 30 minutes to drive from Woodland Park to Frazee's mother's ranch in Florissant.

At the family home, Sean Frazee described a nice evening with his kids and his brother’s toddler, Kaylee.

“He brought Kaylee in and we played with her," Sean Frazee said.

He added that sometime before Berreth was reported missing, Patrick Frazee had said he and his fiancee were separated.

“He just said that they had not been together for a while,” Sean Frazee said.

Who was Kelsey Berreth? Portrait of mom, pilot and daughter emerges at trial
[...]

Her mom, Cheryl Berreth, took the witness stand to describe her daughter’s childhood on a farm in Washington, with dreams of becoming a commercial pilot. Her brother, Clinton Berreth, said because of this upbringing, the two developed a close relationship.

[...]

“She was incredibly diligent in taking her time in making sure that what is a thorough process was completed correct,” said Raymond Siebring, Kelsey Berreth’s boss at Doss Aviation. “I’m referring to grade sheet requirements, flight requirements, and it seemed like it was something as stressful as it was — and it’s meant to be stressful — that it was handled well.”

[...]

“When a student graduates, part of their out-process is creating an end-of-course critique,” Siebring said. “She received plenty of accolades and positive reinforcements from students who just loved to fly with her.”

[...]

Siebring said Berreth’s desk had photos of her and her 1-year-old daughter, as well as verses from the Bible.

[...]

Photos shared at trial show Kelsey Berreth and her smiling baby inside a sunny apartment that was adorned with toys. Cheryl Berreth said one of her last conversations she had with Kelsey Berreth was about what she was going to get her 1-year-old for Christmas, and plans that involved picking out a tree before the holiday. ...

[...]

Outside of coffee, Cheryl Berreth said her daughter needed three pretty basic things to be happy.

“She needed a good night sleep, she needed to spend her time with God and she needed to go running,” Cheryl Berreth said.

Frazee trial: Defense questions timeline of surveillance photos
[...]

When she sat down with Frazee, Huber said he told her he had last seen Berreth on Nov. 22. They had talked the day before about breaking up, but were both good parents to Kaylee. He said he gave Berreth her belongings back. As far as visiting her Woodland Park condo, he explained he had gone to the home on Nov. 22 to pick up Kaylee, but Kelsey wasn’t there, so he ran some errands and returned later that day. They exchanged the child in the alley, he told Huber. He then left, Huber said.

Frazee told her he didn’t have contact with Kelsey later that day, or around 4:30 p.m., Huber said. They talked on the phone later that day — Nov. 22, 2018 — as well as the following three days.

[...]

A few days after Thanksgiving, Frazee received a text from Berreth asking, “Do you even love me?” he told Huber. She said Frazee told her that he tried to reply, but later learned his text didn’t go through.

[...]

Court went into recess at 10:16 a.m. before returning at 10:35 a.m. Reed continued with Huber's testimony.

Huber explained retrieving surveillance video of Frazee and Kaylee in the local Walmart. She said she noticed large crates in the back of his truck.

[...]

Around 4:30 p.m., Patrick called the ranch’s landline and said he was coming but would be late. Sean said he arrived with Kaylee around 5 p.m. and made some food for himself and Kaylee. Afterward, Patrick went outside for some chores and to feed the horses, Sean said. After he came back inside, the family had dessert and Sean’s family left around 7:30 p.m.

When asked, he said he wasn’t sure if Patrick was on his phone throughout the visit. When May asked if Sean saw anything in the back of his truck, Patrick said it was parked out of sight, so he didn’t notice, but it wouldn’t have been out of the ordinary to see a black box in the back of the truck.

[...]

Sean and Patrick’s father passed away on Aug. 28, 2018 and his children were still going through his estate at the time. They still are, Sean said. About $400,000 is at stake, he said, including property.

[...]

May asked when Sean first heard that Berreth was missing, and he said Patrick told him over the phone on Dec. 3. Patrick mentioned that her grandmother was sick, so she may have gone to visit without telling anybody. He also mentioned that she had alcohol issues and had sought help before so she may have gone away to seek more help, but again, without telling anybody. ...

During that call, Patrick also said he’d received a call from Doss Aviation about canceling Kaylee’s health insurance because Berreth hadn’t been working enough.

[...]

When Sean was dismissed from the witness stand, he looked over at his brother, turned his head and rolled his eyes.

[...]

JM walked to the witness stand and introduced himself as a sales and delivery employee at Williams Furniture in Woodland Park. Memmer said he’s also in charge of cameras.

[...]

Just after 11:30 a.m., Investigator Stephanie Courtney with the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office was called to the witness stand. She’s worked with the DA’s Office for seven years and works in the special investigations unit. She was assigned to the case on Dec. 6.

[...]

He used an ATM between 12:42 p.m. and 12:50 p.m., Courtney said. A second photo from the ATM surveillance showed the back of his trunk, which also showed the dog carrier and black tote. The tote has silver clasps on the front.

[...]

Courtney said he doesn’t show up on the surveillance video until 4:34 p.m. as he drove south on Fairview. She noted that the tote in the back of his pickup was now in a difference position. He’s seen on surveillance video taking a right onto Highway 24 to head north toward Florissant.

Kelsey Berreth murder case: Patrick Frazee’s brother — who is a Colorado police officer — takes stand in murder trial – Canon City Daily Record
[...]

The expert who compiled the images, Chad Meninger, said the method he used to find and timestamp the images meant things could be slightly out of order, but would be accurate within a few hours. Steigerwald also pointed out that none of the photos show Frazee carrying a large black box, which prosecutors alleged Frazee used to carry Berreth’s body out of the condo.

But footage from an ATM that Frazee visited just after noon on Thanksgiving Day showed a large black box in the back of his red truck, an investigator from the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office testified.

The investigator, Stephanie Courtney, also said that a surveillance camera at a local furniture store showed the box in the trunk. The various images also showed that the box moved or was repositioned in the trunk between 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

Some afternoon notes: - Police found interesting financial records when searching the Frazee Ranch on Dec. 14-15. - A letter shows he “defaulted” on a $70k+ loan, missing a payment on Dec. 1. - CBI Agent Gregg Slater says Frazee paid Berreth $700/month in child support

Just like that, Court is done for the say. Prosecutors “ran out of witnesses” in comparison to what they were expecting. Judge Scott Sells says we’re still on pace. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

Those child support payments were made from Oct 2017 (child’s birth) to July 2018, and Slater noted one of the last payments was about $150 short with “registration and taxes” written on the check. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

Among the highlights of afternoon session was admission of hand-written doc — found at #PatrickFrazee ranch — in which he lays out time line of events surrounding #KelseyBerreth’s disappearance. He says he met her at 12:30 p.m. to exchange child.

This is plainly contradicted by surveillance from multiple locations and receipts charting their movements. #PatrickFrazee #KelseyBerreth

Testimony so far this afternoon has focused on two turning points in investigation of #KelseyBerreth disappearance: a blood stain her brother found on the bottom of her toilet, and the last time her phone ever pinged a cell tower. That ping in southern ID lead them to key witness
2:20PM - 5 Nov 2019

Elise Schmelzer on Twitter
Prosecutors have also talked about finances between Berreth and #PatrickFrazee. Frazee was late on payments on a $72k loan and had been paying Berreth $700/month in child support for many months. His brother earlier said the family had clashed over deceased dad’s $400k estate.
2:20 PM - 5 Nov 2019

One prosecutor said financial situation would become important part of case — not entirely clear how just yet.
2:20 PM - 5 Nov 2019

Elise Schmelzer on Twitter
Prosecutors seem to be setting up for testimony for key witness Krystal Lee Kenney, Frazee’s lover who told police he killed Berreth. Prosecutors are asking witnesses about Kenney’s role.

We ended early today — prosecution ran out of witnesses for today. I am thankful for this because that means I get to run in the sunlight! Maybe!
2:20 PM - 5 Nov 2019

We also heard CBI Agent Gregg Slater review other evidence pointing possible motive. That includes letter showing #PatrickFrazee was in default in a $72k loan. He had been paying #KelseyBerreth $700/mo in child support but made last payment in June 2019. @csgazette

And Slater covered a fateful discovery: when investigators received phone records showing that #PatrickFrazee called Krystal Lee Kenney at roughly 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 22, about when he was allegedly seen leaving #KelseyBerreth’s house.
2:26 PM - 5 Nov 2019

They also touched on a handwritten note from Frazee that appears to be an alibi for Nov. 22. View the top paragraph of this email for what that note said. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

At the time, Slater knew that #KelseyBerreth’s phone had last pinged in Idaho, near where Krystal Kenney lived. “It sparked my interest, yes,” he said on stand. #PatrickFrazee @csgazette
2:27 PM - 5 Nov 2019

Sam Kraemer on Twitter
As we reported in the days leading up to Frazee’s arrest, Slater said cell phone records were key. Upon seizing Frazee’s phone, they saw he made a call to a number later identified belonging to Krystal Kenney around the time police say he left Berreth’s home. @KOAA
2:29 PM - 5 Nov 2019

When they determined the phone number Frazee called was in Idaho, combined with knowledge Berreth’s phone last pinged in Idaho, Slater says they focused on foul play & Frazee being a suspect. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

The jury has gone home for the day in #PatrickFrazee's murder trial. Judge Sells-" prosecution has run out of witnesses" due to travel arrangements. Parties are in closed court now. This afternoon spent corroborating facts. 830 Wednesday start #kelseyberreth @ABC

As for the black tote that allegedly changed positions in #PatrickFrazee pickup, defense attorney Adam Steigerwald suggested an alternate explanation. He pointed out that Frazee stopped at a Walmart and purchased a number of large items including dog food. @csgazette

On a lighter note in what is a very serious case: Only one person (who I'm not going to name) has had a slip of the tongue in court and accidentally called #PatrickFrazee "Patrick Swayze" in front of everyone.
