CO CO - Kelsey Berreth, 29, Woodland Park, Teller County, 22 Nov 2018 - #19 *ARREST*

[jaspermac]

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.

An attempted robbery!? So it doesn’t sound like he did the actual killing... an accomplice tried to stage a robbery and killed her??

He’s going to get himself barred from the court. He was warned by members of his FB group not to try and do that.



Seriously!

... while court is in session.

It’s really too bad we can’t watch. The reporting on this case has been horrible so who knows if we’ll get the correct information.

Shannon Brinias is reporting on Twitter that the 9/1/18 date is a clerical error.

What?!?

I'll say one thing- PF is NOT stupid, by any means. Quite creative, if you ask me. He just didn't think out one or two minor details. Makes me sick!

Yes! The lack of news has created more drama and fake reports, imo.

Attempted robbery?

 

[Steelslady]

Reporters will report following hearing. Courtroom (1906) cannot accommodate live reporting.

Folks- it has been posted numerous times that the reporters there cannot Tweet or post anything until after court is done. Be patient- there are no links yet. We all want to hear, and we will soon enough!

Thanks for those updating what they are finding. Awesome work!

I think he was a part of it.

IMO he was there.
Also, IMO, someone is filling in some blanks.



Edited to add last sentence.

Posted a picture of PF’s mom in the courtroom. Not supposed to be using his phone in there.

Tysm, I thought that was it. I’m hvg wifi trouble. Is P’s bro there? Tia

IMO he was there.

I think he was suggesting that was a way to get rid of her to others and they have told their side of the story. Not sure that is actually what happened. He ended up doing it.

 

[Irmese]

Did they recover her phone?

I'm thinking the robbery part must not have happened though-- didn't KB's family say nothing was missing from her townhouse?
