Idaho woman pleads guilty to charge in Kelsey Berreth case
Krystal Jean Lee Kenney, 32, of Idaho, pleaded guilty Friday morning to one count of tampering with physical evidence in connection to the case of missing Woodland Park mom Kelsey Berreth.
The criminal complaint accuses Lee of tampering with evidence on Nov. 24 or Nov. 25, or both. The tampering charge is a class 6 felony.
In Teller County court Friday, Lee agreed to testify in the trial against Patrick Frazee, Berreth's fiancee who is accused of murdering her. Lee will face her sentence after his trial and is not allowed to talk to media.
Lee’s family members told ABC News that Frazee threatened Lee's life, and that was why she helped him dispose of the phone. Authorities haven’t released information on how Lee and Frazee know each other.
On Dec. 22, 2018 police in Twin Falls, Idaho said they
thought they had found possible evidence in connection to the case, though it’s also unclear what that evidence was, or if it’s connected to Lee. During the investigation, both
Berreth’s home in Woodland Park and
Frazee’s home in Florissant , in addition to a
landfill in the city of Fountain , were searched by authorities. It is unclear what, if any, evidence was found during those searches.
