CO CO - Kelsey Berreth, 29, Woodland Park, Teller County, 22 Nov 2018 - #44 *ARREST*

[MassGuy]

Well, it may only matter to me

I think they could have been having tense discussions about the baby and/or getting married, and she'd still be tending to him. Or, she could have been entirely clueless about the papers. Maybe the papers were prepared by him, and then he thought of a different idea, realizing he was unlikely to succeed. Maybe the mother knows all about what was happening, custody-wise.

Hard to say, but I admit to being curious about it even if it doesn't change the crime.

Oh yeah, I think most of us are incredibly curious about every aspect of this case.

We want to know everything.

I’m just saying that the backstory to the custody papers, doesn’t change the likely motive.

We want to know though.

 

[MemPat]

It’s mind boggling in the sense that there is literally no evidence that indicates that KK was the one pulling the strings here.

She’s evil, she’s a terrible human being, we hate her, but he’s the worst of the two.

I said it yesterday:

Remove KK and Kelsey is likely still dead.

Remove PF, and Kelsey is absolutely still alive.

He wasn’t manipulated into killing Kelsey, he beat her to death because he wanted to.

All indications are that KK was doing his bidding, not the other way around.

And everyday, as people attempt to shift blame away from PF, keep reminding us, MG:
He swung the bat!

 

[mtnlites]

But if there was a sweater wrapped around KB's head--as KK claims PF told her--then how did a tooth fly all the way to a vent?

iirc, KK also claims PF told her to look for the tooth in the vent. If he knew it was there, why didn't he pick it up and dispose of it?

1. She could have pulled the sweater off after the first blow.
2. The sweater may have only covered her eyes and not her mouth.
3. There could have been just enough of an opening for the tooth to come out.
4. The tooth could have fallen straight down to the ground and then someone's foot inadvertently kicked it towards the vent.
5. The sweater could've come off her face during the struggle.

All IMO.

Exactly. If there weren’t pieces of teeth laying around, I would find that incredibly odd.

Baseball bats are meant for demolishing baseballs; a head and face would shatter like porcelain.

She never stood a chance.

 

[Kapua]

4,320 cubic yards of trash will be searched.
to give some perspective, I've ordered gravel, dirt and such in
large dump trucks holding 5 cubic yards of material.
Using these big dump truck for size, it would take 864 dump
trucks loads to move 4320 cubic yards of trash.
that's a humongous undertaking, like looking for a large needle
in a haystack.

It is indeed a huge undertaking, and an unpleasant one. Hopefully, they have dedicated searchers and the best technology on their side.

They found what little was left of Charli Scott in the midst of a lush, tropical rainforest in Maui, with vegetation so thick that they could not find her cell phone, nor one of the investigators' cell phones that he inadvertently dropped during the search.

The remains of Laci Peterson and her unborn son Conner surfaced from the bottom of murky SF Bay and floated to the shore, where they were discovered - after four months - Conner first, then Laci the following day.

They found Lori Hacking's remains in a landfill in Salt Lake City.

This search will be extremely difficult; perhaps more difficult than the searches I mentioned above. But sometimes the forces of the Universe and human perseverance prevail. MOO

 

[AgeofAquaruis]

Why would little kids need to know this?

I hope they get sheilded from this until they are adults. Sadly that might not be possible being they live in a small town,and the media coverage is huge. I just hope CL has lots of help from family,and counselors to get them through.
MOO

Right and I'll guarantee you, that once pretty face was unrecognizable
when he got done with her.

Summary:

1. Commander Adams is interviewed.
2. They have consulted with different agencies and utilized resources from Necrosearch to help them narrow down the primary search area.
3. They will search M-F, weather dependent, using searchers from local LE agencies and an excavator that brings the trash out and puts it in lines to be searched.
4. It will be a slow, methodical search so they don't miss anything.
5. They owe that to Kelsey and her family.
6. This is the first time they've searched at the landfill.
7. Their best guess is that the search will take 35 days.
8. Cadaver dogs will not be used.
9. It is a dangerous area for dogs.
10. They will be looking for any human remans; bones.
11. Approx 35 - 40 people will participate in the search.

Excavator and bulldozer, possibly backhoe will be used.

 

[Ccging]

Purely IMO but after watching the video on the landfill search and LE indicating everything pointed them there, I have to wonder

1. If they got more info from KK and she did know more about how/when/where PF disposed of what remained of the tote and KB.

2. If PF was truly a bright lightbulb and actually purchased the tote at Walmart and they verified it from the receipt.

 

[MemPat]

That’s awesome that they reached out to Necrosearch. Those people are absolutely ridiculous in finding dead bodies, and this is right up their alley.

I’m sure they provided invaluable advice.

Planning
NecroSearch members confer with the investigator to establish an operational plan. At this stage, remote sensing specialists will also review available air photographs and satellite images. Members will also advise the investigator of resources in addition to those offered by NecroSearch.

Field Assistance
If requested, a NecroSearch field team then conducts a site investigation under the direction of the requesting agency. Field investigations typically start with a sequence of non-invasive methods (such as botanical analysis and ground penetrating radar), and may progress to excavation.

 

[dixiegirl1035]

Certainly agree. However, one lie he could not pass by SF was KB burning baby K's hand with a curling iron whether intentionally or by accident. She saw baby K as much as he did and she would have seen this type of injury. UNLESS, baby K burned her hand while being out and about with him on his job with his little black cast forging unit and he spun this into something it wasn't for KK's benefit. I have a hard time believing KB was responsible for something like that, but I can tell you I know of a little baby that got out of sight of his LOVING father and burned his tiny little hand on a wood stove. It happened during a time of distress when the baby's momma was incapacitated by a brain tumour and everyone was in distress. Terrible accident during a time of momentary distraction, but he recovered completely, not even a scar. Treated at hospital. No evil intent. No record of baby K ever being treated. JMT.

That is something I never had considered, that the baby hurt her hand while he was forging something and he blamed it on KB. so yes, you would expect such a bad burn to go to the hospital or at least to the doctor and have a record of such..

 

[Herat]

But if there was a sweater wrapped around KB's head--as KK claims PF told her--then how did a tooth fly all the way to a vent?

iirc, KK also claims PF told her to look for the tooth in the vent. If he knew it was there, why didn't he pick it up and dispose of it?

JMO

There were multiple blows to the head and face, IMHO and the sweater soon was loosened from her face.

Any of the blows to the face could easily disloge or break teeth. From the description of the blood splatters and the amount of blood, I think he savagely beat her even after she was dead, to exhaust his fury and to “destroy” her.
This seems like an overkill, a psychopathic rage

I mentioned this book at the beginning of the case, as I thought that they could provide assistance, it’s called:

“No Stone Unturned: The True Story of Necrosearch International, the World’s Premier Forensic Investigators” by Steve Jackson.

It’s free on Kindle Unlimited.

 

[MyBelle]

The sweater was being used as a blindfold so (allegedly) KB could sniff the candles PF held up to her to try to guess what the scent was. That would have meant that her nose and mouth were uncovered.

Sweaters are bulky. The candle and the tooth/with root scenarios I don't believe. PF was a big, strong man. KK saying he covered KB's eyes with a sweater and produced scented candles is her attempt to portray PF as a considerate guy. I don't buy it at all. PF wanted to punish KB and he certainly wanted her to know it.

JMO

 

[MemPat]

All information below is in the affidavits. And or mainstream media.


Yes, it was very interesting that in 2016 was when she got together with PF per her hubby.

Her husband said in the affidavit if I recall correctly, that he did not want to say anything else about that relationship.

And then that is when they got a very quick divorce.

Also, it was interesting that when he was interviewed, the affidavit says he said they divorced in 2018. Yet, they were actually divorced in 2016 from what we have now gleaned.

Someone's post from above said that that was done very quickly.

It might be financial reasons that they got the divorce, versus financial reasons that they are staying together.

She may have to get to marrying the ex again because she has no job and, I imagine, no health insurance now.

A sweater around her eyes, isn’t going to protect her jaw.

If she is smelling a candle, or that’s the rouse that has been devised, then her nose would need to be uncovered.

That means that her mouth is uncovered.

This is something that makes both of them look worse.

She looks worse because of the image of picking a mother’s teeth out of the vent.

He looks worse because it makes him even more diabolical.

Rings true to me.

 

[Julia966]

May the search be successful so that the Berreths can lay their daughter to rest and the prosecution can strengthen their case.

Indeed. Godspeed.

• Then later that evening, Adams says the phones were together and pinged west of Cripple Creek. Adams says PF called KK and his mother SF on Nov. 22.
• Agents found PF called his mother on Nov. 22 around 4:24 p.m. They determined his phone pinged off a tower near KBs townhome, heading west from there.
• Adams wrote search warrants for both KB and PF’s phones to Verizon. He says there were a few phone calls between the phones on Nov. 22. Adams says cell tower data showed they were in the vicinity of KB’s townhome. Later that day, they pinged near Divide.
• Phone records show KB’s phone and PF’s phone were together the entire day on Nov 22. Records show both phones move west, go off the grid, come back on at a later time. The phones are shown heading toward Cripple Creek. They go dark once again.

• 4:37 pm Nov. 22, PF called an Idaho number. Slater says PF’s phone pinged off a tower in Divide, CO, when he made that call. Shortly after, PF received a return call from that number and his phone pinged in vicinity of KB’s home, it hit off a tower, southwest of KB’s townhome. Reporter Sam Kraemer, who was present at the hearing, understood Slater's testimony to mean that KK was in Idaho on November 22, the day KB was murdered. Sam (Kraemer Retweeted **********KK was in Idaho on Thanksgiving, swapped cars with her best friend the next day & drove to CO. She can't talk to the press, per her plea deal. Not sure why SF is pleading the 5th & why PF was with his brother. KK says she left her phone on for police to find her.)
• Referencing the Idaho number belonged to KK, state asks if PF contacting that number became important, knowing that was near the last ping of KB’s phone. Slater said yes, then they tried contacting her.

• Two more exhibits from the state. First is a still of PF on the surveillance at the bank showing him. Second shows the back of his truck, with a black tote in it. He says they learned that tote played a big role in what happened to KB
• Adams says he talked to PF’s brother, a Colorado Springs police officer as part of the investigation. Sean (unsure of spelling) says he saw PF on Nov. 22 & didn’t describe anything as suspicious that day. It doesn’t say exactly when PF arrived for Thanksgiving. Sean says he got there around 2:30 p.m., and that PF arrived a little later. He had baby K with him. Defense says PF’s brother would be aware of things out of the ordinary. since he is a CO Springs police officer. Prosecution says Sean and Patrick have estranged relationship.
• KK spoke with PF at 4:30 p.m. PF texted KK asking for her to call him. PF eventually called KK, saying, she had to get to CO because she had a mess to clean up. KK interpreted that as KB was dead. Cell phone records support this cell phone conversation.
• KK said she couldn’t come out right away, realizing what happened. Slater says PF said, “Just f***ing talk.” He made it clear to KK that she needed to bring things with her to “clean up”.
• Slater says PF told KK,“You don’t know how hard it was to have Thanksgiving dinner after killing her. “
• PF originally, took KB’s body from her residence, and stored it in a black plastic tote with silver handles at the Nash Ranch on the 22nd of November. The tote was stored in a barn on top of a hay stack at the ranch, and PF used a tractor to put the tote up high.
• Between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., there were approximately ten contacts between KB’s cell phone and PF’s cell phones, one of which was an approximate four minute phone call at or about 1:42 a.m.
• Video surveillance from the Safeway in WP, CO showed KB and Baby K shopping at the store. It appeared she departed the grocery store at approximately 12:27 p.m. Investigators located receipts from Safeway in the residence and vehicle that corroborate this information.
• The analysis of the cell phone data revealed that KB and PF cellular phones connected to the same Verizon tower in WP at 12:23 p.m when KB missed a call from PF at 12:31 p.m.
• Between 12:54 p.m. - 1:17 p.m. PF is captured on surveillance footage at a Walmart in WP, CO with a baby carrier with similar blankets as seen in the Safeway footage. Although, Baby K can’t be clearly seen in the footage, it is likely she was in the baby carrier.
• At Approximately 1:24 p.m. an individual that matched the physical description of PF is captured on a neighbor’s surveillance camera entering the front door of KB’s residence. The photograph contradicts PF’s timeline provided to investigators.
• The same residential surveillance camera captured an individual that matches the physical description of PF at KB’s residence at or about 3:36 p.m. It is noted that around this time. PF’s phone records indicated that he called his mother and KK.
• Nov. 22, 2018 - The analysis of the cell phone data revealed that KB and PF cellular phones connected to the same Verizon tower in WP at 12:23 p.m when KB missed a call from PF at 12:31 p.m.
• Nov. 22, 2018 - Both KB and PF’s phones were seen by towers near Cripple Creek in the evening, traveling in the same directions and often similar distances from the cell towers hen measurements were captured by the Verizon network. This would indicate the phones were likely together.

November 23, 2018 - Friday

• Slater says KK exchanged her car with her friend Megan (unsure on spelling). It’s a Volkswagen Passat with expired plates. The exchange happened in Idaho. KK left around 6:30 p.m. that day.
• KK brought gloves, a hair net, two trash bags, bleach, a white body suit (to keep things off her person) and booties (shoe covers). She brought those supplies from home, Slater says, because she recently moved into a new home and had them from painting her home. She said the hospital had the suit.
• On KK’s way to CO PF told her there was a square that needed to be replaced and to look at an air duct vent that needed attention.
• Commander Adams is now testifying about cell phone records. Told the court on Nov. 23, day after KB went missing. PF called KB’s phone in the morning and both phones pinged as being together at PF’s residence in Teller County.
• Meghan asked KK if they could switch vehicles because she needed to move due to a change in a family situation and she wanted to borrow KL’s truck. Meghan knew KK was planning to drive to CO in her vehicle.
• Nov. 23, 2018 - both KB and PF’s phones utilized the Verizon cell tower in Florisant, along with the sector facing PF’s residence when PF’s phone called KB’s phone in the morning. Later in the day, both phones then appear to travel together from the area of PF’s residence towards the same area west of Cripple Creek and both phones had visited the prior evening before returning in the direction of PF’s residence.

November 24, 2018 - Saturday

• KK arrived in WP around 7:30 a.m.
• CB said on Nov. 24 that she “butt-dialed” KB but hung up quickly. She told Slater she got a text from KB’s phone saying she’d call her back. That’s the last known communication between the two. CB never received that phone call from her daughter.
• Adams says he was able to confirm KK’s physical presence in Colorado on Nov. 24. He says, based on the interview, that she came in the morning. Surveillance from the Sonic in Woodland Park & the Coneco in Florissant showed her vehicle.
• Adams says PF was seen on video at Conoco gas station with KK around 4:30 p.m. filling up his vehicle, then filling a 5 gallon gas can. That gas station is a little more than a mile from his residence
• Adams says there were texts & phone calls between PF and KB’s phones. Again, cell tower data showed they were together near Florissant and Cripple Creek.
• Phone records show PF called KK again.
• Slater: PF gave KK KB’s phone and told her to drive to KB’s home, text CB and then go back to PF’s home.
• When KK arrived, she went to PF’s home and picked up a set of keys for KB’s. She parked at the Woodland Park Community Center and walked to KB’s home.
• KK described the scene as horrific. “There was blood everywhere,” she told Slater. Blood on east, south and west walls.
• Going room by room. In the living room, PF told KK to grab a sweater, look for a tooth in a vent & clean up Baby K’s toys covered in blood.
• KK collected a stuff animal, tin foil on top of cinnamon rolls, some of Baby K’s toys and some cookie cutters that PF told her to clean. She put those in trash bags, along with curtains, pillows & a Bible with blood on it, and discarded those items.
• Slater says after KK collected the items, she put some towels in the washing machine. She ran out of trash bags & used 4 bags from inside KB’s home. She also found bloody baby wipes, suggesting PF tried to clean up, and discarded them. Slater says KK used some Oxiclean & Windex from inside KB’s home.
• She wiped down windows, the television, tabletops, underneath chairs, the kitchen, the bathroom, the floors and stairs.
