Property of missing woman’s fiancé searched
DENVER — Colorado police investigating the disappearance of a woman last seen on Thanksgiving Day searched her fiancé’s property on Friday morning.
Police did not immediately disclose any information about the purpose of the search at the property in the tiny community of Florissant, south of Denver. Police announced that they would hold a news conference Friday afternoon to provide updated information about the disappearance of 29-year-old Kelsey Berreth.
Her disappearance has mystified her family and investigators. She was last seen on Thanksgiving Day entering a grocery store with what appears to be her 1-year-old daughter in a baby carrier, in images captured on surveillance video.
Patrick Frazee, her fiance, told police the couple met sometime that afternoon so he could pick up the child from her. They did not live together.
Police said the only sign of Berreth after that were text messages from her cellphone. Location data later suggested that by Nov. 25 the phone was in Idaho, 800 miles from Berreth’s home in the Colorado city of Woodland Park, about a 20-minute drive from Florissant.
Frazee has not been named as a suspect in the disappearance of Berreth, a pilot who works as a flight instructor for an aviation company. Public records show that property associated with Frazee’s name in Florissant covers 35 acres.
