Court records indicate she was killed on Thanksgiving Day, but the arrest affidavit is sealed and few details are available about the evidence pointing to murder.
Although Berreth’s cellular phone was discovered in southern Idaho, authorities have indicated someone other than her took it out of state.
The murder solicitation charge means that someone else was involved in the crime but so far Frazee has been the only one who has been charged. To be charged with solicitation, the suspect did more than just ask someone to commit a murder on their behalf, Fourth Judicial District Attorney Dan May has said.
Frazee is being represented by a public defender, according to Teller County District Court documents.

Prosecutors on Monday formally filed five counts of murder against the fiancé of missing Woodland Park mother Kelsey Berreth in Teller County District Court, including first degree murder, felony murder and solicitation to commit murder, officials say.
Patrick Frazee, 32, has an 8:30 a.m. hearing scheduled in the court house in Cripple Creek during which he will be formally arraigned on murder charges, said Lee Richards, spokeswoman for Teller County District Court.
He is charged with first-degree murder; three counts of solicitation to commit first-degree murder and first degree felony murder.

Three counts of solicitation to commit murder. I wonder what that means? If it is just legal stuff or if it means they have evidence he tried three times to solicit murder.
