Kelsey Berreth investigation: police search dump, source says

The security forces cordoned off a section of the landfill of about half an acre. The Woodland Park police, who will conduct the research, expect the evidence to be buried about 15 feet deep, the source said.

It is not certain what specific evidence they expect to find. In addition, it is not clear why the search is only conducted on Tuesday.

Berreth, 29, disappeared November 22 near Woodland Park, a city between Denver and Colorado Springs. His body was not found.

Patrick Frazee, Berretth's fiancé and father of their one-year-old daughter, was charged with murder in December. Earlier this week, he was accused of tampering with a corpse and other offenses.

A woman involved in the Frazee case told investigators that he had announced his intention to put the remains in a river or in a landfill, authorities said.

Colorado investigative officer Gregg Slater said Tuesday that Idaho nurse Krystal Lee Kenney told investigators that Frazee killed Berreth with a baseball bat and then burned his body into a body. water tray.

She told the investigators that she had an intimate relationship with the defendant in early 2018.

Kenney pleaded guilty to evidence of tampering on February 8.

Berreth and Frazee's daughter is now in the care of Berreth's parents, Cheryl-Lee and Darrell Lynn Berreth.

According to them, a custody case was probably a "motive for killing Kelsey", according to the lawsuit against them.
