Kelsey Berreth's daughter to stay with mother's family while murder case against father, Patrick Frazee, proceeds
Patrick Frazee, 31, appeared in court Thursday for the custody hearing, which was closed to the public at the request of all parties, according to a summary of the proceedings posted online. Police arrested Frazee on suspicion of first-degree murder and solicitation to commit first-degree murder on Dec. 21 after weeks of searching for his fiancee, Kelsey Berreth.
The girl, K, has been with Berreth’s family since the arrest, though Teller County Department of Human Services has maintained legal custody of the child, according to the document.
The court postponed a final decision after Frazee’s mother, the girl’s grandmother, filed a motion in the custody case. The custody case will be back in court at 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 3, and the girl will stay with Berreth’s family in the meantime.
IMO the decent thing to do would be to allow KB’s family some time to grieve and love on their granddaughter. I hope this wasn’t a surprise to CB.....I hope that SF’s attorney has reached out to CB’s attorney with their intentions.
ETA: I’m not blaming PF’s family for his actions. I think it’s vital that his family move forward with a great amount of respect, understanding and delicacy for CB and families feelings.
