Two concerns
From the CBC article,
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."
Concern 1.
To me, if this statement is true, in the meaning that KK heard these words from PF, the implication is totally opposite. KB was sane.
I wonder, however, if PF is mentally ill and very paranoid. A grave danger to be in the society, to be let out. Ever. And if he had really killed before, it has to be investigated. MOO - it might be a serious statement.
The population of Florissant is 104 people. Today the student body in Woodland Park High is 782. It is unranked. Here is a little bit about students' performance.

Is that possible that in an underperforming school, in a tiny city, Patrick's severe emotional problems had been missed?
Quite possibly. People here pointed out at the way he treated the dogs. I am not a dog breeder, I would not know. But someone might review the YouTube movies and say what he thinks. And maybe I was wrong at discounting the opinion of the person accusing him of maltreatment of the horses. It all might be very, very serious.
Concern 2. MOO.
KKL did not love PF, and he did not have a hold on her. To participate in such a crime for your lover, no matter to what degree, means, to love with abandon. There are many examples of it in history. But usually such love implies standing by your beloved till the end. Not giving him up. Not talking.
KKL is very scared. She is now getting it. What I see here, in this situation, is some adolescent high. Teenagers might attack random people, or someone they know, in groups. They do it to test their power over the world. But - they are teenagers.
How did two very adult people, both with kids, could partake in a crime?
Immaturity and mental issues in a 32-year old man are less shocking than immaturity in a 32-year old mother of two kids. MOO.
