The Murder Of Kelsey Berreth: Patrick Frazee Trial :Day 2: Frazee Surveillance Video

The bank manager  of ENT Credit Union in Woodland Park testified that Patrick Frazee asked for surveillance video of himself from day Kelsey Berreth was last seen. 

“ he said he was needing to have a timeline for that time because he and his fiance had broken up the day before, he was getting together with her to see about custody for their child, and he needed to set a timeline for where he was the day before,” the manager said on the witness stand, adding that Frazee told her his fiancee had gone missing.

“I said ‘if you don’t know when she went missing, how will this timeline help you?’” the manager said. 

That same day, the manager said she had spoken to police, who had asked her to look up Kelsey Berreth’s debit card history. The last transaction was on November 22nd, 2018. That’s the only day she said Frazee asked for surveillance footage showing his whereabouts.

Frazee looked at surveillance video and photos that showed him at the ATM with his one-year-old daughter in the front seat.


According to David Felis, Frazee also went into the Woodland Park Verizon Store on December 11th, 2018. He said Frazee came in with his one-year-old daughter. 

“When he came in, he seemed very nervous, and kind of sketchy, paranoid and was looking around a lot,” Felis said. “One of the first things he told me, one of the first things he said to me was ‘don’t believe what they’re saying about me.’ I said ‘I don’t know who you are, I treat all my customers the same.’”


He also said that Frazee seemed “particularly concerned” about the security of his cellphone account, and asked if it was possible to gather information from a phone that was destroyed. Felis said Frazee kept asking about the “other phone on his account” and tried to change the PIN on that device so he could access its data.

Members of law enforcement testified that day as well. Detectives said when they first arrived at Kelsey's condo in Woodland Park, nothing seemed out-of-place and there was no evidence that anyone had broken inside. But when Kelsey’s mother and brother stayed in the apartment when they came to Colorado to check on her, her brother, Clinton Berreth discovered blood in the bathroom.

The final witness of the day was Fourth Judicial District Attorney’s Office Investigator Chad Mininger. He testified about extracting surveillance photos stills from Kelsey Berreth’s neighbor’s phone. They were from motion triggered surveillance cameras. One of them was pointed at Kelsey Berreth’s front door.

On November 22nd, the last day Kelsey, it was triggered 27 times, according to Mininger. Frazee is seen in 11 of the surveillance photos, including as late as 4:30 p.m.

Frazee had previously claimed that he didn’t go into Berreth’s house that day and just exchanged the child. 


According to Mininger, the last image ever recorded of Kelsey Berreth was when she went into her apartment at 1:23 p.m. She wouldn’t be seen leaving.



Frazee is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of solicitation to commit murder, tampering with a dead body and two counts of a crime of violence.
