CO CO - Kelsey Berreth, 29, Woodland Park, Teller County, 22 Nov 2018 - *Arrest* #59

[PommyMommy]

I have read that the brother who is a police officer, Sean, reported that Patrick arrived a bit late for the Thanksgiving Dinner with daughter. I'd like to see Sean step forward and testify.

He testified today. MOO

Patrick Frazee trial: Frazee's brother takes the stand as picture emerges of day Kelsey Berreth went missing

 

[mustloveco]

If he did, making her disappear with no body and no proof of death is not the smartest way to collect on the policy. It would take years and he would have to be cleared.

but we all know PF isn’t the smartest person!!

SF took the 5th during a pre-trial session. I don't see her doing anything less if called to the witness stand during the trial. She will not want to speak against her child.

She may have to answer some questions. I can't see her taking the fifth on every question.
They can always offer her immunity, can't they?

I'm working on a long write-up about minute-by-minute details we heard in court today. In the interim, I thought I'd do something a little different and share what we've learned about the victim: #KelseyBerreth. #9NEWS

I know this has come up multiple times because of other evidence during the trial, but it's worth mentioning that it seems like #KelseyBerreth loved Starbucks.

Here's a pretty cute quote about that from her mom: “Kelsey liked coffee. She liked caramel macchiatos, that was the diet drink, and when it was in season, pumpkin spice lattes.”
12:26 PM - 5 Nov 2019

Allison Sylte on Twitter
Even more than coffee though, everyone agreed she loved her daughter, who is about 2 years old. Here's what Kelsey's mom said: “[Her daughter] is … Kelsey’s life. Her world revolved around [her daughter]. She was a great mom.”

More than anything, I'm learning that #KelseyBerreth was a regular person -- a lot like my friends. Here's a quote from her mom that sums that up fairly well: “She needed a good night sleep, she needed to spend her time with God and she needed to go running,”

Remembering the victim during these trials is important. I put together a short preview with some tidbits about Kelsey, since inevitably, a lot of the trial coverage will focus on the suspect.

Sean says he hadn’t been close with Patrick in 2-3 years. On Thanksgiving, Sean says Patrick came to dinner about two hours late and parked on the side of the house. Sean says he spent half the time outside doing chores. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee
12:22 PM - 5 Nov 2019

Sam Kraemer on Twitter
Sean was with Patrick at a Colorado Springs Five Guys in Dec. 4, when police came to meet for a welfare check on the child. They asked to take Patrick’s phone. Sean says Patrick looked right at him, so Sean (a Colorado Springs police officer) asked for a warrant #KelseyBerreth
12:23 PM - 5 Nov 2019

The police said they didn’t have one, but that they would get one. Sean says he told Patrick to give it up and he did. On his way out, I saw Sean give Patrick a strong look, then turn his head and roll his eyes. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

We’ve also heard from another DA’s office investigator. She used surveillance to track Frazee’s whereabouts on Nov. 22. It shows the black tote in the back of his truck was moved between noon and 4:30 p.m. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee

Police believe #PatrickFrazee hid #kelseyberreth ‘s body inside after they say he killed her. Frazee’s sister is in the courtroom. His mom is outside perhaps waiting to testify. @abc

She’s only caught on surveillance at Safeway, on the Williams Furniture Store camera driving back to her home and then once at her door with Patrick. That’s all in the noon hour
12:44 PM - 5 Nov 2019
(In reply to: Curious how many times Kelsey was on the surveillance camera on that day.)

Sam Kraemer on Twitter
Nope. Not sure on sentencing yet — but definitely no recording for trial
12:44 PM - 5 Nov 2019
(In reply to: Are they recording at all for after the trial? Will there be a way to watch jt after sentencing? I know no live reporting just curious about after.)

Lance Benzel on Twitter
A major point I haven’t put on Twitter : at no point is #PatrickFrazee seen with the black tote at #KelseyBerreth’s door. Investigator suggested camera didn’t always activate. Also, there’s a slotted fence partially blocking view. @csgazette

Where is @GordianKnot?

 

[MsBetsy]

I think we did all note that Ma F was divorced from him, and she didn't appear to have any stake in the estate.

Oh dear, where will Ma go if they throw her out?

Perhaps a cot and a hot would be best for her too?

I doubt she even needs the money. She probably has her own money from working and then there's social security.
I doubt she would have been able to afford to keep the ranch anyway.

Imo

 

[susiQ]

His brother just buried him!

UPDATE: #PatrickFrazee arrived late and missed T-day dinner at mother’s house, arriving about 5 p.m., says his brother, Colorado Springs police officer Sean Frazee. #KelseyBerreth @csgazette

Lance Benzel on Twitter

Way behind! Catching up!! This is awesome!!!!

 

[Wishbone]

Just started following this case but am catching up. I do wonder why PF's mistress would even consider killing his fiance before backing out. But mainly why in the world would she clean up that disgusting crime scene for him? I'm at a loss to understand that. If PF could kill her, I would think he could clean up his own mess. Did she want PF so badly that she would do anything for him to include helping him kill the mother of his child? I'm not sure what to think about her.

I have read that the brother who is a police officer, Sean, reported that Patrick arrived a bit late for the Thanksgiving Dinner with daughter. I'd like to see Sean step forward and testify.

He did and told the truth!!

 

[Mimi in London]

The tote changed positions. PF is 2 hours late for Thanksgiving. PF parks at the side of the house, and spends Half the time outside.

Oh, she was in that tote alright. I was always wondering why he wasn’t worried about a family member seeing it. Turns out he WAS.

But was he worried about ANY of the family members seeing it, or just one or two?

 

[OhioBlues]

She may have to answer some questions. I can't see her taking the fifth on every question.
They can always offer her immunity, can't they?

I don't believe that she can legally pick and choose what questions to answer or take the fifth. It's either answer every question or plead the fifth on each question. IIRC JMO

 

[girlhasnoname]

I bet the brother is wanting PF off of that estate, as the B's have a suit against him correct and they could attach if PF owns any of the estate?

@Colorado303 ? or any other lawyers?

IANAL but that was my first thought

 

[girlhasnoname]

Actually a witness can answer only certain questions, it's the defendant that can't pick and choose.

 

[1mtroyal]

Sorry I don't follow....how does a measly $400K
estate- which would be $133,000 each heir-
cause him to want to kill his baby mama?
I don't get it, but you can explain it if you want.
I'm missing the missing links.

I don't know about the estate tax law in Colorado, but some states take half, who knows what the federal people take. I think there may be others (brothers, etc) who could make a claim. It is interesting as to how much farms/ranches are worth. Around here most ranches are worth many millions. One tractor is worth 100,000$.

 

[Seattle1]

I doubt she even needs the money. She probably has her own money from working and then there's social security.
I doubt she would have been able to afford to keep the ranch anyway.

Imo

I believe the issue is even more simple. Dispute with decedent's estate that includes SF is probably connected to the acreage, and not SF's home. She's not the rancher -- that's PF. I doubt she cares about anything more than her private residence.

MOO

I've always thought it was custody and control, not paying child support was just a bonus. IMO

$100K is not really that measly.

Ok, I’ll try to explain MOO

PF is all about what is HIS. The ranch and that estate money (no matter the amount), was HIS.

IMO I think KB wanted to get married, he didn’t. I also think that from what we have heard their relationship was somewhat rocky at times. I don’t know if KB ever mentioned moving away with the baby, but there is a good chance PF thought it could happen, regardless.

KB was NOT taking the baby away from him, she was HIS. If KB took the baby, she would want custody and he would have to pay support with HIS money.

Also, his sister was trying to possibly get him removed from getting his share of the estate money (again IMO as her attorney asked KB for dirt on him). In his mind what if he made KB mad and she gave EF dirt on him, he would lose HIS money. Can’t let that happen. I’d almost bet KB told him she did not want to get involved in the family dispute. But he could not trust her.

I think the timing of his dad’s estate proceedings (Sept 2018) and his alleged first solicitation are tied together.

Again, all IMO.
