DENVER, Dec 31 (Reuters) – A Colorado man was charged on Monday with the murder of his fiance, who was reported missing in November and is now presumed dead.
Patrick Frazee, 32, was charged in Teller County District Court with two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of solicitation to commit murder stemming from the disappearance and presumed killing of Kelsey Berreth, a spokeswoman for District Attorney Dan May said in a text message.
Colorado law allows prosecutors to lodge multiple murder charges for a single killing under different theories. Frazee did not enter a plea at Monday’s hearing.
The Colorado Public Defender’s Office, which represents Frazee, declined to comment, citing its standing policy of not commenting on pending cases outside of court.
