Kelsey Berreth's Disappearance

• 💡 Kelsey Berreth, a 29-year-old devoted mother and professional pilot, was last seen on Thanksgiving 2018 shopping with her toddler.
• 📌 Her mother reported her missing after not hearing from her, and her phone later pinged 800 miles away in Idaho.
• 🔍 Investigators noted her home showed no signs of struggle, and her cars and belongings were still present, making her disappearance highly suspicious.

Victim Profile and Initial Investigation

• 🧠 Kelsey was described as a consistent and devoted mother to her 14-month-old daughter, Kaylee, with no history of reckless behavior or leaving her child unattended.
• ✈️ She was a flight instructor with a blemish-free aviation record, and her desk was covered with photos of her daughter and Bible verses.
• ⚠️ Police publicly asked her fiancé, Patrick Frazee, the last person to see her alive, to cooperate, but he only communicated through his attorney, raising a "red flag."

Patrick Frazee's Role and Crime Details

• 🔪 Frazee, Kelsey's fiancé and father of her child, murdered her on Thanksgiving Day 2018.
• ⚾ He blindfolded Kelsey under the pretense of a game, then beat her with a baseball bat, chasing her around the house.
• 🔥 Frazee later burned her body and personal belongings on his ranch, with his mistress present, leaving no grave or marker for Kelsey.

Krystal Lee Kenney's Involvement

• 🤝 Krystal Lee Kenney, Frazee's mistress, testified that he had asked her three times to kill Kelsey before he did it himself.
• 🩸 Kenney drove from Idaho to Colorado wearing a hazmat suit to clean up the extensive blood evidence at Kelsey's condo, filling six trash bags with contaminated items.
• 🚗 She then accompanied Frazee to his ranch, holding Kaylee while he burned Kelsey's remains, and later led investigators to the burn site.

Legal Outcomes and Controversy

• ⚖️ Krystal Lee Kenney accepted a plea deal for her testimony, initially sentenced to three years, then resentenced to 18 months for evidence tampering, and has since been released.
• 💬 Legal experts debated whether Kenney's testimony was truly necessary for Frazee's conviction, given the other evidence, sparking controversy over her lenient sentence.
