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

I have to wonder did someone else fly her out of Pueblo between 22nd-25th against her will? A coworker or someone at her job with a grudge or an obsession over her? How did her phone get to Gooding Idaho to ping. Now that we know Gooding has a small airport.

There was apparently no evidence of a confrontation at KB's home and her car(s) are still there. That suggests that she either left on foot alone or left with someone she knew willingly, though perhaps unexpectedly, unexpectedly because of the cinnamon rolls and what has been suggested as her plans from the phone conversations with her mother.

What maybe should be considered is that someone who knows her well came to her home and said something where she willingly and rapidly left with them? Perhaps she left with PF. But perhaps their personal relationship had fizzled and they were co-parenting. Perhaps KB had met someone at work (where there would be many young men as other staff or clients) who came to her home, maybe even she was delightfully surprised but did not know them that well, and she left with them. Something bad happened whether overtly planned or by happenstance. Suddenly the new friend is a perp and makes the texts as a cover and to deflect onto PF.

This scenario is neater if PF came to her home than some person as of now not known to be in her life. But then KB may have told white lies to her mother and PF regards to her plans and location.

If I were her employer, I would have been alarmed and concerned and try to call to make sure she was ok. I bet they at least texted her back.

Yeah, asking her if she needed prayers, whatever. I have texted in a hurry, needing to get to South Fla. from NC. I told them I would talk later. These being late in the night, get here quickly. But they have always known ahead of time, this move could be coming.

But why wouldn't the fiancée she SHARES custody with not report her missing?!?!?

We don’t know what the text from her phone to his said.

I have read two different stories about where the meeting place was to drop off or "exchange" the child. Did Kendal drop her off at the fiancees home or was there an unknown meeting place?
Also I read that the Mom had spoken to Kendall a couple of times on Thanksgiving morning and said that Kendal mentioned possible plans to go out to dinner. Do we know who she planned on going with? I would think it would be the fiancee.
When the Mom was asked about Kendals plans to marry, she said they had no wedding date set. She also said they were looking for a place together but something about it being expensive because of the economy. I would think it would be cheaper to pay for one place. It really doesnt sound like the two were very serious about their plans to marry. Do we know anymore about their situation? It sounds as if they have shared custody, although I haven't seen it described that way. Imo

- The only information conveyed by police was that the fiance told police he picked up the child. Last press release yesterday is attached.
- The family posted on their family's missing person page that Kelsey mentioned going out to dinner with her fiance and their daughter.

I am just hoping beyond hope that she left on her own accord as that is the only way I can imagine this to have a positive outcome.

But we need to look at what we know about her. So she moved to CO in 2016 and this is the end of 2018 so that could be anywhere from 2-3 years ago depending on the month she came to CO. Being she has a 15 month old daughter that means she could have been pregnant and that is the reason she moved here or got pregnant shortly after arriving. Also, I am assuming she hired on with her employer during this time as her employer is in CO, about 70 miles from where she lives. Then she also bought a house earlier this year in 2018. And it appears that there were some issues with the relationship. So when you add up all these things, the move to CO, pregnancy and giving birth, a new job, a new house, then relationship issues most of those things individually are on the top 10 list of stressful events. I really don't think she went off and harmed herself in any way as if she wanted to do that there are so many abandoned mines around where she lives all she would have to do is go into one of those to say goodbye and literally they would get tired of looking for you in many of those abandoned mines. But being her phone pinged I very serious doubt that to be the case. I hope that she left on her own just because I think that is the only way this will have a positive outcome. The more I think about this the more I like the idea she left on her own doing. MOO

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

This got me thinking. Although I don’t believe Kelsey herself sent that text, it’s interesting because of a few articles I have read recently. I’ll have to dig them up. There has been a trend where employers want you to do that and just not show up in case there is something very wrong. I think the article I’m thinking of was the employee was thought to have quit because she didn’t show up, but the employer (her boss) followed up repeatedly through various methods of communication and alerted police to do a well being check when he couldn’t reach her. It turned out to be a tragic ending. Whoever sent it may have the same train of thought. Don’t follow up and come looking for me. Don’t call the authorities. It sounds obvious, but I can’t think of too many of my bosses from the past that would really go that extra mile to make sure I’m okay. I think it’s kind of a new pattern to do that. IMO and I’ll try to find that article!

What time?

They’ll probably do the same thing they did with the last one, and announce the time tomorrow morning.

It’ll be on Facebook for everyone to see, although one person likely won’t, because he apparently lives in a cave.

 

[kirkassoc]

Without anything.

Perhaps she grabbed her purse, with her phone inside, and left WITH SOMEONE to get a Christmas tree while the cinnamon rolls cooled. ???

Perhaps the personal relationship aside from co-parenting with PF was over and she had someone new in her life and she had shared the fact of the new relationship with PF. She left with the new person and something bad happened. PK expected her to be gone for the period and was not happy and embarrassed that she was moving on. But PF may well have been miffed and have a motive if there was now another man in her life. Still this does not seem likely.

Well then he would tell her mother they wouldn't be worrying about this.

Will PF be there? Hopefully someone has invited him in time.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess no he won't be there . So far, I have tried to be open minded about other possibilities, and have considered logical reasons for him not talking to the media such as maybe he's just a really private person, maybe he doesn't want everything he says to be scrutinized, or maybe LE and/or his attorney have advised him to not talk to the media. But the fact that he didn't even attend her vigil tonight is really, really bothering me.

Hope the PC is just not about a reward.
I know they think they have to do rewards but they almost never help. Her case is already getting media everywhere. More info is needed from LE, jmo, for tips, if they have any.

This article is new and this portion is new to me, at least. Her phone was active after Thanksgiving until there was a ping in Idaho?

"Kelsey and her 1-year-old daughter were seen at a local grocery store about 12:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving, and her phone was active in the days after, but she has not been seen again. A text from her phone to her employer, sent on Nov. 25, said that she would not be coming into work that week."
