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

The threshold for qualifying for Public Defender representation in the 4th District of Colorado is a gross income, after all deductions, of $16,147 on Line 1 of Form 104 of the 2016 Colorado State Income Tax return. It doesn't have anything to do with current assets. IMO

To get to an income of $16k after deductions- which a cattle farmer would have alot of, with some extras added in. If your gross income is low enough that you can get to 16k even with extensive deductions you don't have alot of "assets" that you have accumulated that you can sell to bankroll lawyers. JMO

More goes into it than just the income calculation. There's a points system. First, there's an income qualification that is dependent on household size that allots a number of points, depending on where the income for that family sizes falls in relation to the poverty level. Next the defendant gets points for how close to their income the cost of their essential living expenses is. Then there's points given for a range of assets that could be liquidated without causing harm to housing or employment. Then there are also points for the severity of the crime. If the points add up to a certain threshold, you qualify for a public defender.

Regarding landfill search re:KB


Although this is a Youtube video it is Fox 31 Denver.
It's awful if they do find her, even worse if they don't.
I hope they do get what they need,and they nail every vile participant involved.
It's unconscionable what they are putting Kelsey's loved ones through, especially the sweet Baby. They need to start thinking about the Baby,and not their own backsides, not getting wrongful death suite dropped,etc.
Baby girl is going to grow up,and eventually she'll know.
She'll know who did her Mama wrong,and who did it,and who helped do it, and who lied,and covered up for who did it.
What a way to start life.
MOO

So, in other words, he doesn't have alot of money to pay for lawyers on his own- for civil litigation, etc..

Good info, by the way. Thanks

BBMFF:
To your first point above: this is so profoundly true.

It will be awful if KB's remains are in that landfill, but if they are, it is so very, very important that they be recovered, removed and respectfully returned to her loving family. KB was a beautiful human being.
She was not garbage.

PF is garbage.

Bury him in a landfill and I got no problem with that.

JMO.
 
Lori Hacking's Remains Found in Utah Landfill

It took 33 days to find Lori Hacking's body in the landfill in Salt Lake City, and they had a lot more information to go on to find her body.

Quote from article, "Landfill searches are historically unsuccessful" "It is like finding a needle in a haystack".

It seems unlikely to me, given the time factor of over 60 days, that KB will be found.

I wasn't quite sure of the thresholds, so I found it. Basically - he can't make more than $36,000 (assuming he was set as a family of 2), but he could have substantial assets because he would own a vehicle and tools as a farrier, livestock and associated equipment, all of which wouldn't be counted because the sale of them would affect his employment. So, as long as he's not holding a lot of cash/investment assets, since it is a high severity crime, he would qualify. Although, living in Colorado on $36,000 or less explains why he lives with his mother.

Jennifer Blagg was missing for 6 months before a landfill search started, and it was (if I recall correctly) 3 weeks to a month of searching before she was located.
