DENVER (AP) — The fiance of a Colorado woman who has been missing since Thanksgiving Day was arrested Friday on allegations of killing the mother of his child, and police said she likely died at her house in a mountain town.
But authorities declined to say whether they had found the body of Kelsey Berreth, 29, what led to the arrest of Patrick Michael Frazee and what motive there might be for Berreth’s disappearance and slaying.
Frazee, 32, was arrested at his home in the alpine town of Florissant on suspicion of murder and solicitation of murder, said Miles de Young, chief of police in neighboring Woodland Park, where Berreth lived.
“As you can tell from the arrest, sadly, we do not believe that Kelsey is still alive,” De Young said.
Authorities also declined to elaborate on the solicitation of murder charge, how they believe Berreth was killed or any other aspect of the investigation.
Police have said Frazee was the last person to see Berreth alive. The couple shared a baby daughter but did not live together.
The disappearance of the young pilot mystified family and friends and led to national social media seeking any information on her whereabouts.
