Mother of Kelsey Berreth comes face-to-face with daughter's 'killer fiance' Patrick Frazee | Daily Mail Online
A grieving mother faced off with the man accused of killing her daughter in a Colorado courtroom on Thursday.
Cheryl Berreth appeared at the Teller County Courthouse for an emergency custody hearing regarding her granddaughter Kaylee, whose mother Kelsey has been missing since Thanksgiving and is presumed dead.
She was joined by Patrick Frazee, the former fiance of her daughter and Kaylee's father who on Friday was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Kelsey Berreth.
Frazee arrived in the courtroom wearing his prison clothes and looking disheveled while a steely Cheryl kept her composure as she at one point stared down the accused killer.
She arrived in court with her husband by her side as the couple prepared to take custody of their granddaughter.
Frazee was the first to leave after the hearing, exiting the building shackled and in cuffs before being whisked off in a police car.
The Berreths left a short time later and remained silent about the proceedings despite being surrounded by members of the media.
Frazee remained silent throughout the hearing, refusing to speak even during the few times he was addressed by the court.
