Info from people who know PF:
“He worked on my horses for a real short time till he punched one in the gut with a rasp and that was about the last time I let him work on my horses,” -MG

'It's a characteristic that was ongoing for years. Anytime he was at a rope and his horse didn't act right, he'd rip on his face, kick him. In the community, we were all at ropings and stuff, but if the horse doesn't do exactly what it's supposed to do you don't just beat them.' -MG

'One time we were at a rodeo in Cripple Creek and he got mad because his horse didn't do good and somebody didn't heel just right to help him get in the money and he got so mad he left out of Cripple Creek Rodeo, flipped his horse trailer with his horse in it and almost killed that horse.
'He got mad, tries to get his vehicle out of there and there's too many cars tightly packed in. Lots of people were there. -MG

'He was in a rage of being mad and angry, because the heeler didn't heel and they lost out the money. It was kind of a sad deal, especially trying to get the horse out that was traumatic for everybody.' -MG

A former girlfriend of PF declined to speak to the press but her partner commented saying that he knew Frazee to be aggressive with horses and dogs but that he did not beat his girlfriends.
“He cheated on her while she was in the hospital, take that for what it’s worth,” the man said of his current partner’s former relationship with Frazee

'Patrick is a horseshoer, I heard once he was thumping on the horse "saying this is how you've got to do it," that horse reared up and kicked him right in the forehead, he got a bunch of stitches and his [then] girlfriend hauled him to the hospital to get stitches.' -High School Classmate of PF

'Oh yeah, he's a recluse for sure. I haven't seen him in 10 years or so.' -High School Classmate of PF

A neighbor heard 'mixed things' about Frazee's alleged rough behavior with animals.
He was quiet and shy. He had his own friends circle and stayed close to his friends,' he said.
'He did come across, "I'm a big tough cowboy." But that's that cowboy way, got be strong.
'That's how he was raised, he raised horses. I think if you're raised country that's normal, if you're raised city it's going to seem harsh. It's not wrong in his eyes. Sometimes there's neglect and over abuse yes, he'd tread the fine line on it I'd say. You've got make a horse submit to what you want to do. You've got to be kind of firm. You shouldn't hit them.' --Former Neighbor HF

Two friends of Patrick defended him and rejected any suggestion he was cruel towards animals:

'He's an old fashioned cowboy. He's just old school, he does things the old way. He shoes horses modern, but he trains horses the way people used to do it, I wouldn't say that he's cruel or not. He's a stand up real good guy. I've just known him for years and he's a great person.'
The friend said he had not met Frazee's fiancée but added: 'I know the day I saw him he was a great dad to the daughter and he's a good guy. He was fine. --Man who saw PF shoe horses in Sept.

'I know him, when we had horses he used to trim our horses hooves. He was a very nice young man, I knew him all growing up, we used to go to the Gymkhana and the rodeos when he was younger. I've known him since 2003 and I never saw him do anything inappropriate or out of order.' -DR, runs the propane store

"I've always considered him to be a gentle soul. Soft spoken and just really down to Earth and practical." “couldn’t imagine him doing anything that would harm anyone.” -Friend, SO

Relationship info reported by others:

KB and PF met online according to her cousin
PF helped KB move from WA to CO only months after they met
KB told her cousin she was happy when she moved to be near PF
KB often talked about her boyfriend (PF) at her aviation job in 2016
Baby K was born Oct 2017
They were engaged but did not have a wedding date set
They have never lived together -- KB's mom

"The relationship has been good, um, they're loving, um it hasn't been ideal, you know given given the economy and things, you know, they had plans that haven't worked out as they would have liked but they've dealt with that and they've made things work regardless." --KB's mom

"I mean they had plans, you know, they were planning to find a place for them to live and so forth and the economy with prices dropping out...Kelsey's fiance has some cattle and stuff and prices were poor and so the money just wasn't available as soon as they had hoped, but they make it work."-- KB's mom

There were no records of any domestic issues between the couple --Woodland Police Chief Miles De Young

So true! Just DOSS/work and PF..... what about a “hey Mom, going to be really busy for awhile if you don’t hear from me”.... (although KB was apparently close to her Mom so maybe PF thought that would set off alarms).... I touch base w/my Mom everyday no matter what !
I was puzzled too about the lack of a KB text to her mom, but it hit me that mom would have IMMEDIATELY texted back or called, and the ruse would’ve been blown right then...
 
The sarcasm was obvious. As to his family it has nothing to do with smugly thinking we are safe because our families are better. For me
It has to do with following these cases intently for two decades, 14 as a sleuther and 17 years as a family law attorney seeing what dysfunction looks likes up close.

People bucked hard against my (and others') predictions about CW's family. But we were spot on. Not due to magic or luck. Due to experience.

The signs match up here. A young man has lived his whole adult life with his mother. He doesn't seem to have done much with the resources available to him. Does that make him bad or a murderer? No. There are many innocent reasons why an adult might live with parents or not do well in business. And that says nothing about character.

But in context of the DA charging him with the murder of the mother of his child, a supposed fiancée who he never moved in with nor married, it's fits a pattern we see over and over again in these cases. Not all the time it a lot. I mean there's a reason why a fully grown man and father feels entitled to plan and follow through on the murder of the mother of his baby. There's a reason he thinks he should do something like that. That that is an option.

It is my gut PF fits the profile.
and this is why I enjoy WS. Verified folks in different areas, who see these things all the time and have a learned opinion about them. I know whole lot of nothing about Family Court, criminal court, etc. Have a very limited bit of experience in the LE side of things. You, and the other verified folks here, sharing your perspective helps. Dims my rose-colored glasses a bit, but I value the knowledge. I for one am happy that I can’t understand why someone would do this. I don’t want to “understand”. But we filter everything through ourselves ,so I think that’s why some people can’t understand the actions of some of the folks in this tragedy.
 
The reporting on this case has been sloppy at best. Sometimes I think they develop stories from gossip on FB. Really disappointing. OTOH there just isn’t a whole lot to go on with the little the DA has released. Maybe we will get more this afternoon.
It seems to me that some reporters nowadays, prefer getting their info from unreliable online sources instead of the old school way of hitting the pavement and getting facts from reliable sources.
 
I'm dismayed DM has been recognized as MSM for WS

They are full of unsubstantiated sensational "reporting" and pure gossip.
yep yep. They are essentially the Inquirer people
 
Some of the worst reporting on any case I've seen, & I've been following this stuff for 20+ years. My high school journalism teacher is shrieking in horror from the newsroom in the afterlife right now.

Someone in a newsroom saw "disposing" and filled in the blank with body instead of, you know, actually reading the darn thing and seeing it was a phone that was possibly disposed of.

MSM reporting today is the equivalent of a 3rd grade classroom sitting around in a circle playing a rousing game of Chinese Whispers.

Newspapers still serve an important function, however...IMO, they're great for wiping down mirrors and other glass surfaces.

Guys can we not mention the other pages, it is not worth getting shut down today. Even if we are not bringing direct info over but confirming validity is trouble, based on what i have seen the thread get shut down for before.
Just don't want it shut down before or during the hearing..
 
<snipped by me>
I would not be surprised if it was more than the phone that traveled to Idaho.
<snipped by me>
I would be surprised, but I concede that it's possible. I think KB's remains are somewhere in CO, based upon what I have observed with similar cases. Most of the time, the remains are not two states away. MOO
 
Followup to my own post...
I reported this post b/c the 60 minute window for editing has passed.

*** PLEASE everyone, do your homework before you post ... you incriminate yourself by saying things like --

"Hope this is OK to post."
"Mods, please delete if not ok."

Clearly, you are questioning what you are posting. If you are unsure if it is allowed, read the rules/TOS or ask a moderator via private message. While you mean well by trying to post helpful info, if it is in violation of WS policy, you actually end up hurting everyone b/c the thread will be closed again.
Good points. There have been soooo many posts the past few days that alluded to information people got off social media like FB. We can’t link it, we can’t screen shot it, we can’t refer to it.

If we see a post that is in violation and it’s within the hour editing window, the best thing to do is send a private message/conversation to the poster warning them to delete or edit their post. That way we self-police, and the mods don’t get flooded with Reports to the point of shutting down the thread.

A remote family member of mine was murdered in a major city.
I was Googling the name and came across a forum (not Websleuths) where a reporter for the local news was asking for any information people knew about the victim, she left her phone number etc for people to contact her.
The forum members were discussing the victim at the time and the info being discussed was reported in the local newspaper as fact and quickly showed up word for word on all the newspapers across the country.
 
They put out the most sensational articles based on every tidbit of gossip added to true facts already published in MSM. But then again, MSM has become the same, so it is what it is.
I will give them this: They get stories from everywhere and find people who are willing to talk - probably for cash. And they have the best pics. But the reporting is sensationalist. MOO

I’d agree, except if logically, you planned a murder for two months, what would be your plan for a body? I’d choose to dispose of it outside of the radius of where most bodies are found. If I’m being meticulous about my plan, I would find somewhere outside of the radius, and get there by using back roads. I don’t think I’d risk Idaho, but somewhere further out in Colorado would be ideal.

It might be different this time. Many threads ago I posted that I had the feeling KB was killed between Twin Falls and Gooding. It was not intuition, I was merely proceeding from a different assumption, sans IN. But I can´t shed the same feeling, that something is connected to the area between Twin Falls and Gooding, so perhaps something else traveled there? Hope not.
 
I agree - if nothing was wrong except the missing mom - why keep her family from seeing the baby? IMO he had a reason and we now know what it was.
How do you know they were kept from seeing the baby? How do you know they asked? Again, CB was on national TV pre-arrest and was asked, “Are you going to try to see K?” And after a long pause she said “I don’t know.” So how do we know that LE wasn’t involved in advising the Bs to be patient just a little longer? They strongly suspected PF from the beginning, and could have told the Bs of their suspicions. If PF has just killed KB, then trying to see the baby when he still has her would have been stupid and risky.
