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

“Like most relationships it has ups and downs but for the most part it's a good relationship,” -Frazee’s lawyer

Bumping my post from the last thread for anyone who missed it the first time.

I think it might be more than just custody. He must have really hated her pretty immensely to do all that we have learned. IMO custody wouldn't create that much hate. MOO


It can if the 2 parents have wildly different beliefs in child rearing.

For example, let's say KB announced that she was going to start taking the baby to the 7th Day Adventist church more often and also wanted her to start going to the preschool, instead of staying with Grandma F. ?

I think PF would not be happy about that.

And maybe she began scolding him because she saw him spanking the baby and treating her roughly, the way he treats his animals. He sees himself as a great trainer and would probably treat his children in a similar fashion.

She may have even said that if he continued to do so, she would report him or seek legal action.

I am pretty sure he would hate her if she said something like that.
 
So it seems that if she was in Florrisant on Thanksgiving Day, she was there to be with him?
Well, just going by what her co-workers said about her being there for Thanksgiving, but no mention at all that IN herself was visiting family or other friends. I haven't seen anywhere that she is originally from CO or has family there that she visits, just that her and PF worked together in CO at one time.

So, my thoughts are that she came down to CO to spend time with PF for the holiday. I could be wrong, and maybe she does have family around PF that she was visiting- you would think that that would have been explained by the media- why she was there at that time.
 
agree. hate is not what leads to murder - it is control. power and control. There are plenty of other pathologies that could contribute to homicidal fantasies, such as untreated schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder, combined with personality disorder features. I could very well see that with his family dynamics, if he had any mental illness, it would probably be denied instead of treated. Planning it for 2-3 months is extreme. He would need a powerful fantasy life to persist for that long without taking action.

To expand on this, it’s 18 years of trying to compromise with someone you couldn’t get along with well enough to remain a couple.

For someone who is controlling at best, which is the vibe I get from PF, the thought of not being able to be the sole decision maker would be infuriating.
 
What do you think was his motivation? Like you I'm not buying into custody or getting out of the relationship. He didn't live with her, he was still living as a single man, nothing had really changed in his life and since they were only dating it would have been easy to just tell her to get lost. They didn't share a mortgage, a home or even a last name. I'm perplexed and would love to hear what you think.
I think there have to be factors that we don’t know about yet. It’s like in the Watts case, if it had not come out that CW was having affair(s) and that they were living above their means, we would be perplexed about HIS motivation, too. We would wonder how a guy with a beautiful wife and kids, with a great house, could throw it all away. But finding out about NK, the recent bankruptcy and being months late on the mortgage - once we knew that, it all clicked.

So there are one or more pieces of crucial info that are missing in this case. I think we are going to remain perplexed until we find them out. JMO
 
Kelsey was a "flight instructor" but she did not actually do flying checkouts or trips with students.

There would be no reason for her to do 12 hour shifts for that job.

I am not familiar with the duties of a flight instructor at DOSS. I am assuming she was teaching in the classroom a lot. There are probably an array of tasks that could cause her job to be more than 8 hrs a day. Maybe she did 4 10s. Do you work at doss, or are you a flight instructor, or did you attend class at doss

Also, how do you know she didn't do trips with students-- can you please provide an article ty
 
You are straying from their specific situation and talking about general co-parenting. PK wasn’t paying child support. Their child was 1 so I doubt spanking had come up. As far as holidays, he had the baby so much already, it’s hard to imagine him having a problem with handing her off to KB here and there. And the guy was apparently carrying on an affair with someone 700 miles away. Seems like he would be glad to have breaks from the baby.

Normal parents don't have problems with "handing off" and coordinating schedules but abusive parents certainly do. It is all about control and manipulation by the parent rather than what is in the best interest of a child. We still don't know whether PF actually spent time parenting the baby or if he just handed her off to someone else while he did whatever he wanted to do.

K is not yet verbal so she couldn't tell Mommy what was going on while she was at Daddy's house....yet.

I am pretty sure he would hate her if she said something like that.

It is possible religion played a role. Or the chance she wanted baby K in an environment with other kids. Sometimes, a doctor will even suggest a child begin a preschool early. We just don’t know.
 
What I don't understand is IF KK is talking and working out a plea deal- why isn't she already arrested? How long can that take? They served warrants in Twin Falls Dec 15th. Something glitchy here.
maybe because LE did not want PF to think that LE had enough on IN to make an arrest. this might have allowed IN to be a more effective informant and possibly gain additional information from the primary player(s). again, just an opinionated hunch.
 
I thought I had heard it was not every day - like she was home some days and he had half the week - normal 50/50 split which is now customary without proof of reasons why not to have 50/50.

I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps she didnt work 8 hr shifts? Maybe 3 12's?! Or something like that, so she would have more time to be with her child.
 
Please continue discussion here.

Be sure to review all the above opening posts and keep them in mind as you discuss Kelsey's case.

Also, a reminder that the Idaho nurse has not been charged with any offence and is to be referred to as either IN or KK, but NOT by her actual name.
