FRAZEE TRIAL DAY 2: Here are some lunchtime notes.
• Cheryl Berreth retook the stand. She recalled walking into Kelsey’s townhome with a lot out of place. For example, the heat was uncomfortable, an exercise ball was missing and more. She says she put photos of Frazee & Kelsey face down. In her Dec. 2 call with Frazee, Cheryl said Patrick never mentioned going to look for Kelsey. Defense asked her more about the timeline & Kelsey’s finances. Cheryl says it was her understanding that Patrick could provide for Kelsey, and that’s a big reason why she moved. Defense also asked about the living situation. Attorney Ashley Porter said it’s her understanding Patrick lived at home to care for his sick mother. Cheryl said no — it’s her understanding he lived there to care for his animals and that Frazee’s mother Sheila worked too. Cheryl said Patrick was worried if his animals were out of line that Sheila would call animal control.
• Clint Berreth, Kelsey’s brother, took the stand next. He & Cheryl came to Colorado looking for Kelsey and stayed at her townhome while doing so. Clint recalled getting ready to take a shower, sitting on the toilet & looking at Facebook on his phone. That’s when he looked down & saw the blood on the lower bowl. He said it wasn’t visible from just standing in the bathroom, noting the lights were extremely bright. Clint was also asked about his texts with Kelsey. Kelsey texted him that an attorney for Erin Frazee, Patrick’s sister, texted Kelsey asking for dirt on Patrick. Clint said it was his understanding there was a dispute over Patrick’s late father’s assets, figuring it was tied to that.
• We also heard testimony from Kelsey’s neighbor with whom her unit shared a wall and a Safeway fraud analyst. The neighbor talked about Kelsey’s love for her daughter. The analyst confirmed the Safeway video is of Kelsey.
• One of Kelsey’s supervisors, Raymond Siebring, then took the stand. He explained Kelsey was an incredibly diligent & successful instructor at Doss, earning consistent praise from her students. He said she would hardly request sick time. She did on Nov. 14 via text. However, long-term PTO was more of a discussion & entered into the Doss Aviation time management software. He said it was odd for her to text asking for a week off, but he wanted to respect the situation. He said she always would tell the scheduling department of her time off. Her text on Nov. 25 said she would, but Siebring said the scheduling department was never notified. He also noticed the punctuation Kelsey used in her texts changed around the time police said she went missing. He didn’t think much of it until later.
• Before lunch, Woodland Park Police Corporal Dina (unsure on spelling) Currin took the stand. She took the initial call on Dec. 2. Prosecutors played her recorded 15-minute phone conversation with Frazee that day (recorded on body cam). Frazee is very polite, but he shows no concern at all for Berreth’s well-being. He said they had a heart-to-heart the week prior & that Kelsey was done with the arrangement. He said he gave Kelsey her gun, keys and other things back, respecting her wishes for privacy.
