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:

PF helped KB move from WA to CO only months after they met

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

"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

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

Admin note: Viewers from around the world are here to read about Kelsey's case. They do not come here to read personal information about our members, about our member's son or daughter, neighbor, post man, etc. Our forum is not a chat room.

Stay on topic regarding the details of Kelsey's case.


Two day thread reply bans will be issued for personal off topic posts or idle random chit chat.
 
Admin Note:

At this time, the only person charged in this case is PF.

Do NOT sleuth the Idaho nurse (IN, KK, KL) who has not been charged with anything at this point in time. You may link to MSM and discuss what is said in MSM about her, but no sleuthing and posting about it here. Obviously we do not have all details, so do not make accusations against her until/unless LE advises that her status in the investigation has changed.
 
Idaho couple shares more on why they went to authorities in Kelsey Berreth case

THE LATEST UPDATE FROM CBS NEWS 1/11/19:
CBS News correspondent Nikki Battiste sat down with Twin Falls couple Patty and Joe Rockstahl. The couple claims they learned of information from one of their employees, a best friend of Krystal Lee. Their employee told them that Lee and Frazee's had a relationship that started just after high school.

"She was in love with him from a very young age," Patty Rockstahl said, adding, "She was very vulnerable and I think she cared for him, and he took advantage of that… He was her first love, I understand, and… he had a hold on her."

The Rockstahls said they were told Lee, a nurse from Idaho and a mother, visited Frazee as recently as November – the month Berreth vanished. They claim their employee said Frazee threatened Lee, and she may have helped him dispose of evidence.

"Do you know what the threats were?" Battiste asked.

"Patrick told Krystal that little girls go missing off the playground all the time," Patty said.

"Krystal was so scared, he was so angry that he said things that made Krystal think he had killed before. So of course, she's going to be terrified," Joe Rockstahl said.

The Rockstahls said they were told Frazee asked Lee three times as early as October to help kill Berreth, the mother of his child, but Lee refused.

Asked what they heard was Frazee's motive, Patty said, "That he felt that Kelsey was going to harm the child, that she was crazy."

"Is Krystal Lee a murderer?" Battiste asked.

"I don't believe so. I don't," Patty said.

Kelsey Berreth’s parents file civil lawsuit vs. Patrick Frazee

(Sorry if this has already been covered)

What confuses me is that during CB’s interview she said that she thought that the relationship between KB & PF was loving. However when CB filed the civil suit it specifically says that they are accusing PF of inflicting physical, mental and emotional acts of violence towards KB PRIOR to her death.

These statements don’t match up.

Do you think that CB was fibbing about the loving relationship on TV since she knew that PF had baby K and she didn’t want to anger him or accuse him of violence towards KB because he may do something bad/flee the country with baby K?

Or do you think this is just an “after the fact” statement based on the information she has now gathered from those closest to KB & PF during their relationship. Are KBs friends telling KB’s mom & dad that PF had been acting violent towards KB prior to her death?

Super confusing.
 

Bringing link to @gliving post re: media reports referencing KB missing and WPPD welfare check Nov 25.

I wanted to check the published dates on the articles - here are 3 of them:

I was unable to locate an Idaho State Police BOLO bulletin.

As of news articles Dec 3-4-5-6, it was widely reported that CB first contacted WPPD Nov 25 for a door-knock welfare check.

Anyone think it’s possible KK checked into some type of a hospital, once things got “hot” for her? Maybe she’s “off limits”, per her doctor. This would explain her absence.

Also, Imo, one that can dispose of evidence is fully capable of planting evidence.

Things she claims P told her (girls go missing, KB is crazy,
and such) I believe to be things she told P.
As far “I think he’s killed before”, I think this is her excuse for doing far more than disposing of a phone. IDK when she thinks he killed before, it seems she wasn’t afraid of him from HS grad’ thru most of 2018. Why?
Why, suddenly is she petrified?

I’ve read some hideous comments about KB & baby K, on other sites. I have to wonder if KK or her friends might be behind them.

I think KK murdered KB. I don’t think KB’s phone is the only thing KK left Colorado with.

This is just a chilling thought.
 
@Trudie - do you sleep? :)

I think that a nurse on the hotseat, who has a lawyer, in a case where it was floated that the victim may have checked into rehab/psych ward (lots of discussion in earlier threads)... may very well have checked herself in, YES. Smart idea, T.
 
@SandyQLS (pack of coyote outside my BR window, ugh
So, no sleep)

Yup, unless I hear otherwise, I’m assuming KK is responsible for things she deeply regrets & has “checked” in. Where? Idk.
I just got off phone with an atty I sometimes date, asked him, he agreed. He is not in CO, knows nothing about this case other than what I briefly told him.
He agreed, if she’s not around, not in jail, she’s hospitalized & they ain’t telling us.**
Maybe our VAs wanna weigh in?
Not saying this is fact guys, just a thought I had as I listened to howling coyote.

**my friend has actually had a client “admit” for health care, to delay facing consequences. The doctor would not allow LE to question the client/patient for weeks, he was too fragile.

Again, speculation!

Not implying a specific med’ issue, either. For all I know, she could have appendicitis (wink wink)
 
It is a good point Trudie as in employment for example. A good job if you are under a doctors care and out the employer can not touch you. That is not to say once you return they will find a way to get rid of you but you are protected while under care.
There was one woman who knew she was on her way out for always being out and doing shoddy work, she got a doctor to put her out on nervous leave.

I am not sure how that would work in this case where a crime is involved.

P.S. I hope you do not have any small pets outside, the coyotes have been grabbing them left and right where I am.
 
I keep thinking of another case: the murder of stunningly beautiful Dallas pediatric dentist Kendra Hatcher, age 35, in 2015. She was dating Dr Ricardo Paniagua for about 6 months. What she didn't know about was the woman he dumped, Brenda Delgado. Delgado hired hitman Kristopher Love and getaway driver Crystal Cortes to murder Kendra.

Motives? Sentences?

Brenda Delgado - jealous rage of a woman scorned. Trial hasn't started, faces LWOP because after fleeing to Mexico the extradition agreement to return her to the USA requires that she not face a death penalty

Kristopher Love - triggerman received the death penalty October 2018. Delgado had paid him in drugs and cash.

Crystal Cortes - plea deal to testify against others, 35 years. Delgado had paid her $500 for her role.

Jennifer Escobar - roommate of Delgado testified for the prosecution that Delgado had solicited her in the murder plot, but she had declined

Dr Paniagua - knew nothing
