CO CO - Kelsey Berreth, 29, Woodland Park, Teller County, 22 Nov 2018 - #3

It does kinda sound like she decided to clear her head and go off somewhere.

It doesn't sound that way to me at all. I have just finished reading through from the start and am not caught up but this is not looking good. I have seen nothing that points to this being a voluntary disappearance. Imo

That was my point.

He could be leasing a lot of land, maybe from the government.

From page 1 of the media thread.

DEC 3, 2018
Woodland Park police looking to locate missing 29-year-old female
"Authorities say Kelsey Berreth was last seen in at the Safeway in Woodland Park on November 22, 2018.

In a Facebook post, her brother Clint Berreth, says the only thing that was gone was her purse. He says he doesn't think she was leaving town because her suitcases, cars and makeup were still at the residence, all untouched."

So if she left voluntarily, logically she 1) left on foot, bicycle, scooter, etc. OR 2) someone else picked her up in his or her car, or 3) she was abducted by someone while on a walk, bike, etc. If 1) is true, she would be somewhere within a reasonable distance of her home. If 2) is true, who picked her up? If 3) is true, how do you explain the texts to employer and fiancé?

Yes, he could be, and if so, he doesn't own it.

Sounds like they are doing a reward per police chief.

FWIW, I think there are a lot of women who, at one time, have thought how easy it would be just to walk away from all the stress and craziness. Having a career, raising children, keeping and maintaining a household and schedule, financial responsibilities, trying to make everybody happy every day. Social, family, school and work demands. This can be doubled or halved, depending on the help & cooperation of the husband. Twenty nine y/o, new home, baby, financial responsibilities. questionable relationships with partner and families. That is a lot, unless you have a good support system and are happy doing what you're doing. I come from a large family, and we're generally loving & supportive of each other. But most of my sisters, at one time or another, have voiced how they wish they could walk away. It sounds to me like she was a hard worker, loved her baby, but was pretty isolated. MOO

I understand this post of yours and wanted to tell you (not just like it). I didn’t want to DM you as that felt creepy.

Thank you and a DM is fine.

I get what you are saying, however, that's how I've been communicating with my boss for the last 7 years regarding short notice absences. I can also request time off using an online shared calendar. I work for a very large healthcare system. I get how that may seem strange, but I think it's more common than we realize. The use of technology and the way we communicate in daily and work life has changed over the years.

ETA: My husband and I also own a couple businesses and our employees contact him by text for absences as well.

Sure the way we communicate has changed but I think time off and staffing is treated quite differently when it involves time around the holidays and the end of the year when everybody is trying to take unused vacation and personal days. Businesses can't risk being under-staffed. JMO

Where did you see this? I have been so curious as to why no reward!

I think it's very possible her mom didn't know all the details of KB and PF's relationship. For all she knows, it was a stable and loving relationship but that very well could have changed and her mom might not have known. People would say me and my mom are very close, we talk at least every other day but I don't always tell her what's going on with me personally or if I'm having problems in my relationships. My husband and I went through a very rough patch a couple years ago that most people we were close to, even my mom didn't know about. He even left the house and stayed at a hotel for a few days and I didn't tell my mom about it, and if anyone would've asked her she would have said everything was fine with us because she didn't know any better.

Anyone else find it disconcerting that there appeared to be no family or friends present at the vigil?

Sam Kraemer on Twitter

The vigil was very brief but heartfelt. Also, @PoliceWoodland Chief Miles De Young announced his department is establishing a reward for information leading to #KelseyBerreth’s discovery. Press conference to come tomorrow. @KOAA

We also heard briefly from Cheryl Berreth, Kelsey’s mother, about the importance of community support on display tonight. I’ll have their story tonight on @KOAA at 10 #KelseyBerreth

That’s my feeling here.

I think she was kept in the dark about some things, and I definitely get the feeling that she is convinced that what she is saying, is the truth.

If she does have anything negative to say, it isn’t in her interest to publicly voice it, as the fiancé is her only lifeline to her grandchild.

She can’t go negative here, atleast not yet.

Yes, it's a good possibility that this is the case.

Nearly all relationships are complicated but I have to admit that the relationships in this case have me scratching my head.

I have so many questions but no answers.

I think it’s safe to say that we all feel that way.

I know parents and families and fiance(e)s and spouses and coworkers and friends often say stuff ... “s/he would never do that” or “s/he is so quiet and nice” or “everything was fine”. Like others have said, we just don’t know everything about somebody.
