Murder In The Mountains: The Case Of Kelsey Berreth
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 чер 2024
- On Thanksgiving morning, Kelsey Berreth was baking and catching up with her mom before going to the shops to prep for dinner that night. But after this, she vanished...
An investigation would lead police 800 miles away... and it was this trip, plus some intense bodycam footage, that would finally get them some answers about what happened to Kelsey.

I'm sorry, but if you help a murderer clean up his crime scene and then go along with his game, then you deserve to be locked up for life.
Truth! Just because you didn't wield the murder weapon doesn't mean you didn't participate in the murder.
100%
Agreed
@@DevilOnlyKnitsLace is it classed as an accessory after the fact in America
i agree
Bullshit, she could drive 13 hours to clean up gore from Kelsey’s house, but not drive to the local sheriff to tell them what this evil bastard did to Kelsey?
She was 'in love/lust' with the guy, obviously mesmerized by him. Psychopaths apparently have this way with women. She did it all because she wanted to please the man she was crazy about. Only spilled the beans when she realised cops were onto them. She's a lying idiot.
She could've saved her!
Exactly this.
I can understand that she may have been afraid of him (although I think that is possibly a lie anyway) but she is 13 hours away at the point of that phone call, and if she had’ve called the police the murder scene would have been intact, Kelsey’s body still there and he would have been looking at life in jail where he was no threat to her anyway.
That’s without even touching on the fact that she knew he wanted Kelsey dead anyway and did nothing to forewarn her.
I hope Cheryl’s actions give her sleepless nights and I hope Patrick lives a long and frustrating life where he is regularly on the end of a good shoe-ing in prison.
So so so so true!!!! Im hearing bullshits from her in the police video and excuses !!!! Im disappointed from police and fbi in this case!!!
Didn’t Crystal think that one day Patrick would get rid of her the same way? She has no moral ,empathy,compassion.
She probably thought that she was “special” to him.
Of course not. Remember she was married for the majority of the time they were together. She is equally as scummy as he is.
Totally agree .This man will nit stop
That’s exactly what I thought! Maybe on some level so did she hence the giving of information. It was probably more self preservation than remorse.
Exactly and she lacked any common sense too.
That woman cleaned the crime scene!!?!? In what planet is that okay!! A guy asked me to kill someone or clean his mess I would have gone straight to the police
if you refused he would probably just kill you too
She didn’t think she would be next!?!
@@Melicious8675 no kidding!!!!!!!! so crazy. as if you would want to be with him whattt?
Me, too! Tho I would have gone when he 1st asked me to kill her. Worn a wire. And saved this woman’s life.
@@nyssalikesbugsthey cooked the murder up between them. The only reason she was let off on the lesser charge of tampering with evidence was because she agreed to tell them everything.
He was absolutely right about making a deal with the devil because only 3 years for helping clean up a crime scene and cover up a murder is an absolute disgrace
These plea deals are out of hand!
it's actually just 18 months
@@didi012578 The worst one I've seen is the one where a man disappears, eaten by crocodiles??? Much later, his wife is with the lover she had while married, she dumps him but he then tries to kidnap her hiding in the back of her car. He's arrested & to avoid the jail time, he is given total immunity & says he murdered her husband at her behest. She is jailed for life purely on the confession of a scorned lover, that felt so scorned he tried to kidnap her!!!!!!! He literally walked away Scott free. I think I'd take that deal & say my grandma was the zodiac killer if I had to!!!!!
Kelsey looks lovely. Her bright personality shines through in every photograph.
And she looked exactly like her mom.
Yeah and look at the old hag he supposedly was gonna kill Kelcey for. This man was sick in more ways than one.
Colorado Springs, CO resident here- as soon as Kelsey's disappearance was reported on our local news, everyone knew she was not only murdered, we knew who did it. The surprise was Patrick's ability to convince another woman to help him clean up the murder.
Yeah, cause his mother would have done it without spilling the beans
@@TheVertigoalleydamnnn
Is Colorado Springs a small close knit town?
Another Colorado native- my family talked about it. When we discussed it we all knew. Nobody was questioning who it was, just how the cops would prove he did it.
That another women is not having a very good character. That's the reason she is easy to convince. If another women in her situation instead he might not be able to sold his ideas.
Patrick's mum just stood on the porch and watched as they burned her body, she knew what was happening. She should've been charged too.
...... I'll never comprehend, moral compass, non - existent
He was in debt up to his eyeballs and saw that adorable, good-natured lady as nothing more than a cash infusion. Despicable.
How do you live your life knowing you physically cleaned up the bodily fluids of another human being because some man TOLD you to. What's the excuse for not hanging up and immediately calling the police?? The man you "fear" is 800 miles away! What an absolute travesty. The ultimate victim here is Kaylee.
I'm not sure if I missed it because I've been moving around the house cleaning... but if i remember correctly, Patrick had first asked Crystal to deliver poisoned Starbucks coffee to Kelsey. Crystal said she couldn't go through with it and didn't end up delivering the coffee...
That in itself is enough reason to know Crystal was well aware of Patrick's plans and could herself have been the killer if she'd have gone through with that.
I believe the only part of Kelsey they found was a tooth under the floorboards of her home.
This is one of the worst cases to have happened in recent years, both in the absolutely shocking brutality shown to Kelsey for apparently no reason at all, as well as the awful way her body was treated after she was murdered.
But what makes it worse is that her precious baby daughter is never going to know or even remember her mum and that alone is absolutely awful to imagine. But then to know her own father was the one to do it...?! It's just impossible to grasp how a child could cope with that. It's going to be hard for her and I pray she and the rest of Kelsey loved ones and family can somehow find peace and strength through Jesus Christ. 🙏
It's the idea she could've saved Kelsey's life.
The fact that her daughter likely witnessed the entire event is horrifying. He BRUTALLY murdered her. And I also thought I heard somewhere that Krystal did attempt to bring her coffee but couldn't go through with the poisoning part.
The initial plan involving Crystal + poisoned coffee is _very_ briefly mentioned at 17:20, but she doesn't state the brand of coffee _(doesn't mention anything about Starbucks, etc.)_ or exactly why the coffee plan fell through...although it's clear Patrick wasn't the reason, leaving me to assume Crystal fell through.
Totally understandable you missed it while cleaning, especially considering it only took up ~5 seconds of the total run time and unique words your ear was probably listening for (like "Starbucks") weren't even included in those 5 seconds. I'm sitting on my butt doing nothing else lol; plus I luckily read your comment right before minute 17...allowing my attention to immediately be grabbed when the single sentence about the coffee was spoken around 17:25.
Hope you're feeling properly happy with how much cleaning you got done! 😊✌
Can I just say I do the same 😂.. turn on vids clean the house 👌🏼
Patrick is a horrific monster! How do you ever beat someone with a baseball bat while they beg you to stop? And even more so their daughter is just a room over???? I physically felt sick when hearing this. Poor Kelsey. And her mom and brother having to hear this. My heart just breaks.
Horrible
You could tell from the first few minutes of this video where he had his dogs chained up in a muddy pen that Patrick was an uncaring asshole. That one dog looked terrified of him. Who doesn't let their dogs run free on a 35acre farm? Condolences to Kelsey's friends and family, she seemed like a beautiful soul. Fly high 💕 🕊
Exactly 💯
His probably treated his animals very badly.
And he’s even recording it in pride .
I thought the same exact thing!!!
I peeped that too, POS !!!
His gf that cleaned that scene was a nurse. She wasn't naive in any way. She is a real demon. As well as his evil self. So glad he was busted.
She's a psychopath just like he is. I wouldn't let her near a hospital ever again lest she start harming the patients for those "good reasons" her friend insists she has. The idea that she was scared and under threat is ludicrous. She lied from start to finish about her involvement when she could've saved a life, and then lied to try and save her worthless butt at sentencing.
@@weaviejeebiesShe will never find work in healthcare with that felony conviction, let alone work as a nurse.
This episode is gutting. To know she was beat and her daughter was in the next room…. The worst thing is now shes an orphan. Dad is in prison for killing her Mommy. Like how do you live with something like that. That baby girl will always be burdened by trauma. Having your life change so abruptly because of your own father is horrendous.
I think the baby girl is in good hands with Kelsey’s mother. She raised a beautiful daughter and will no doubt be wonderful with her grand daughter. Not so sure about the other grandmother. Did she know what her son was doing?
This other lunatic should have not been given a deal unless it was 10 years or more. She clearly has no remorse.
She'd do it again, too. She's a true psychopath.
There's just no surprise anymore when a woman (especially pregnant or with a baby/small child) disappears and turns out to have a reluctant, apathetic partner. I don't know what it is that snaps in some men's heads from "unhappy partnership" to murder, but the dial seems to skip over "divorce" and turn straight to "murder" with nothing in between. It's just the same pattern over and over again and I want to know why.
May I add another reason is that women are often seen as dispensable/disposable/ replaceable.
I followed this horrific case as it unfolded in the media. My instinct said, Patrick did it. He literally wiped her off the face of the earth.
Narcissism is rampant in this day and age
Definite Chris Watts vibes with the only difference being that he didn't kill their baby.
@TenaciousTD Chris Watts also came into my mind to.
Oh my gosh, poor Kelsey. How could another human being do this to another human being? Just pure evil.
So Krystal wiped down all the blood. Isn't this accomplice to murder? DA cuts a deal with her of only 3 years in prison? American justice system is totally messed up 🤬😡
Uk not much better
Look at the way a person treats animals. Look at how they talk about the people they are supposed to love (family & friends). Look at how they treat people in 'menial' positions (waiting staff, housekeeping staff, the gardener).
If they are humble, treat everyone with the respect they deserve and like and treat defenceless animals with compassion .....only after those boxes are ticked should a person be even considered to be part of your life.
RIP Kelsey 💜
Who meets in an "alley" to do a child exchange? It isn't a drug deal!
His mother is pure evil too. And then to seek custody. Am so glad she failed to do so
She had thirteen hours worth of a journey to make to clean up a crime scene and it didn't once occur to her to just go to the police. But only afterwards when the police are onto both of them, she decided to start cooperating with them. I can't wrap my head around that.
Krystal is so dam calm while talking about helping him get rid of Kelsey. There should be against the law for anyone that is in a plot to kill or hide a murder should get at least 10-20 years.
Surely there is a way to charge multiple things related to hiding a crime and doing something to a body, and sentence consecutively. I'm not to the end so I don't know what happened with her yet.
Well I just got to the deal part. I guess her family deserves the truth but that deal really sucks.
We need to get rid of those deals.
Absolutely min 10 to 20!
Make people think twice before getting involved & not reporting the crime.
heartbreaking.. your videos are always focused on the victim and so respectful. one of the too few true crime channel I’ve seen do that
I've heard this case a number of times from other creators, but you guys always bring more details and a fresh perspective, and you're always so compassionate when speaking of the victims and their families.
My thoughts exactly. Have seen/heard this case a number of times, but watching Truly Criminal's perspective & sensitivity made me feel like I was hearing it for the first time.
Krystal's claim that she was "threatened" to comply with cleaning up the crime scene is pure BS. As soon as she heard the plan, she could've reported him to the cops. The moment she walked in on Kelsey's apartment, she could've called the cops. She had no issue helping him deliver poisoned coffee to Kelsey in the attempt to snuff her out. She should've been separately charged for attempted murder for that alone. She's a mother too, didn't she feel a sliver of empathy or conscience that a child will grow up without a mother?
In my opinion, she's just as guilty as Patrick. Sure, she didn't swing the bat, but she could've stopped this from happening from the start.
RIP, Kelsey.
agree
Right especially she drove for 13 hours to do it, then the scenes at his ranch
I have watched true crime stories on 100s of channels, but i want to appreciate Truly Criminal for providing the real pictures, video records, court briefings, press conferences and real 911/999 calls records. The research they do on every single video is outstandsing.
I would request everyone to support this channel by liking, subsrcibing and sharing as much as you can do. Also support them financially so that they can carry on their research on more cases all around the world and show us what is eaxctly happening.
God bless her little daughter. Imagine learning your father murdered your mother under these circumstances. Rest easy Kelsey 🙏🏻
Truly criminal Saturday binge initiated
SAME!!
YUSSSSSSSS
Absolutely!
I never understand those that help others get rid of a partner to be with them. If they're willing to kill their partner then they will be willing to do it to you too as soon as you're no longer wanted or useful.
The hardest thing in life is to recognize a monster. They inhabit every kind of social fabric. Still this monster will never see the light of day again, never see his lovely daughter grow and never walk the earth as a free man. Monster doesn't seem to adequately describe him. Thank you Truly Criminal, another excellent crime drama. RIP Kelsey, may the Angels give you wings to fly
When the detective gets asked if they think this is suspicious an he stated its a missing person, mum shakes her head behind him, why do these police officers take so long to apply for search warrants and search partners 3x partners straight away.
partners 3x partners straight away. - are you re tar d?
4:35 Why do cops assume young women want to drop everything, leave their lives, their families, and go off to be by themselves? Making that assumption never ends well.
This girl leading the police around is completely complicit. How on earth could she do all of this following this monster around cleaning up his chaos.
The thing some of those complicit don't get is that if he did it her, it could happen to them.
Kelsey seemed like a wonderful person, and her mother is so dignified and strong. They look just like each other.
Idk which is more disturbing the sperm donor for killing her the way he did or the girl that drove down twice to kill/clean up the scene. It's baffling how some folks come up with heinous ideas & think they'll get away with it. Yet, don't know simple things such as don't text abt the murder 🤦🏽♀️ Narcissism so strong they live in an alternate reality!! RIP Kelsey. WE ❤ U TRULY CRIMINAL!!
pure evil 🤬
they really do live somewhere else. With such terrible relationships in my past, it's hard for me to even think someone like kelsey exists. I can't believe what some of these guys do to loyal, loving, and professional women who just want the average life with them. Gave him a beautiful daughter too, and just wanted to live normally with him at home. Guessing he didn't want to give up the perks on momma's ranch to be the dad/husband/man he should've been.
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Well said! I agree!
Kelsey must have seen many red flags but still she didn't break up unlike his other exs.... This is what makes me more sad...her life was in her hands only if she'd have been lil brave and listened to her mind😔.....How can you brutally kill someone who you share child with
I just don't get it. I fall in love, fall out, my life can be messy, sometimes extremely messy. Somehow, I never get around to needing to kill someone. How do people get so twisted?
Why are those dogs chained to the fence ? No question about his character there .
Childish nonsense.
R.I.P Kelsey Berreth
I have heard about Kelsey years ago, but I have never seen a TC channel cover it. Thank you for telling her story!! I don’t understand how Frazee’s mother wasn’t charged as an accessory or something similar.
It's not a Saturday without a fab story from you guys thank you have a good weekend
She had the freedom to drive 13 HOURS - alone, to go clean up the scene because he “threatened her”, but she couldn’t take a few minutes to call the local authorities and tell them what he’d done so they could go find the evidence and arrest him? I call BS. They’re both monsters imo
Beautiful woman. Poor, wee daughter. ❤
as soon as he said he met her in an ally to take the baby i knew it was him
👍👍
Women participating in these heinous crimes instead of reporting it is beoming increasingly common.
"There's a special place in Hell for women that do not support other women. " ~ Ruth Bader Ginsburg 🌹💜✨️
How did the mother not get charged????? She watched them burn the body.
Pure evil 😢
Crystal, traveling hundreds of miles to clean up a crime scene is just unbelievable. Where do you think that's OK and will turn out well ? My Goodness....
She sure acted like he was the only man in the world with a working penis, and she just had to get there to get some of it.
I just can't either. Something wrong and horrifying there
Exactly,,, something is terribly off to even consider
He does nothing for her. She is beautiful
See how she SHINES from the inside out? A really tender loving sensitive person/woman. Just the type that a malignant narcissist like Patrick would home in on and trap in no time. So so sad this whole saga. I followed the case when it was happening and cried a river for her. Touched me really truly deeply. Still does. 🥺
She’s just as guilty and a murderer….she could’ve prevented this so many times!!! A call to a police station the first time he asked her to help kill Kacey ! No forgiveness for this act!
Or at least she informed Kelsey about his plans
His ex said he was very very intelligent,he was always going to get caught for this senseless & heinous crime 💁🏻♂️,I pray for the daughter
He's wasn't smart thinking he would get away with killing a well loved woman. Did he think her family would accept that she disappeared? Then the evidence of the TP with his plot to murder others? He was an idiot.
Those two things dnt marry, he was a pos narcissist
I Know this story from other sources. I never understood why he wanted to get rid of her, why not just break up.
That's the age old question it seems
For a lot of these murderers, killing the parent of their child is an act of control. If she's dead, she will always belong to him. And, she'll never interrupt or challenge his parenting of their daughter. Sick and twisted minds think this way.
1. Insurance money
2. Didn’t love her
3. His mom disliked her
4. Didn’t want to pay child support
5. Didn’t really need a reason, he’s just a POS
I thought they said he was really in debt and defaulted on a loan and somehow, he convinced her to take out a large life insurance policy...Money was the motive here!
There is no man on this earth who could convince me to clean up a murder scene. The fact Crystal didn't immediately call the police is infuriating. She had 13 HOURS to think about it on her drive, and she never even thought twice. She's as sick and twisted as Patrick.
How do the 'investigators' not use luminal and cadaver dogs from the beginning when checking her house ? always find it weird when obvious basics i've picked up from watching youtube docs aren't applied by professionals ...
You always tell these stories so differently that even when I know them I don't realize until halfway through. That poor baby girl, thank God she has her Mother's family raising her.
So unbelievably cruel.
That would hurt me if my family forgives my killer.
Forgiveness doesn't mean they accept what they did. It's a way to release themselves from the prison of bitterness and hatred that can ruin their life and not allow them to heal.
@Marlaina I'm glad there are people who can forgive. It's truly a weight off of them. Still, it's a hard, hard thing to do in cases like this.
Very few in my fam would bat an eyelid if i was killed. It used to be a really horrific thing to learn, until i learned exactly how many of my family are actually terrible malignant narcissists. And when i learned that, most of my life finally started making sense.
3 years for crystal is disgusting
I hope even after Crystal is released from her pitiful sentence, she spends the rest of her life in a prison of her own making. Tormented by the thought that she helped this murder happen.
highly doubt it. people who do this kind of shit are only thinking of themselves and so long as she’s out of prison and free, I’m sure she’ll have moved on in her own head and be living her life with a clear conscience
@@minou3427agree. She can blame it all on him in her mind. Narcissists can never be blamed
Crystal is a 'good person'. A so-called good person wouldn't do what she did. Simple as that. And then to hold the details hostage until she gets a deal... ? Good person, my ass.
This sick freak. I have a 10 month old baby son, so when I hear this story I just imagine her baby daughter in the next room playing, while her mommy is being beaten to death by the sperm donor. It sickens me. I feel terribly for Kelsey but it especially hurts to imagine what her daughter was subjected to. I’m certain as a mother this is what Kelsey would be the most disturbed by too.
I agree. So incredibly sad for mother and baby.
This just goes to show the public that there are women out there that will stand by a man so undivided that not only do they not see a problem with him being a murderer, not being afraid about being the next victim, but also helping clean the site after driving 13 hours and possibly being indicted. What gems!!
I have seen this story before, but this channel has covered it so much better. What a horrendous thing to happen, thoughts with all who loved Kelsey xxx
I don't believe she purposely left any blood stains, so pathetic of her to cover for a monster!
Can you believe she even traveled 13 hours for this? Props to the family for taking matters into their own hands.
Krystal should have been put behind bar for 30 years no less . So much evidence he would have be found guilty without Krystal !!!.
Useless prosecutors who can't litigate. They are playing lawyer until it's time to move to that lucrative private practice. There was a 25 year old r@pe/m*rd*r cold case with DNA. They gave the repeat offender 2 years.
I am watching all of your videos one after another! Thank you so much! Sending love from Pittsburgh
Thank you so much!
It's now been nearly 6 years since Kelsey lost her life in the cruelest way no one could ever imagine. Though her k!ller will spend the rest of his days behind bars, her loved ones were never the same after this horrific event that forever changed their lives, especially her young daughter Kaylee, who is now left to grow up without her mom, & that TRULY broke our hearts. 💔 Sadly, this case left behind so many questions that will remain unanswered for years to come. A bright & beautiful soul taken from this earth far too soon. We wanted to send nothing but love & prayers to little Kaylee, the rest of the Berreth family & the entire Woodland Park community as they continue to heal & move forward by keeping Kelsey's name alive & focusing on the future rather than dwelling on the past. May Kelsey continue to rest in peace, & may her memory forever be a blessing for all the lives that she touched. ❤🙏🏻 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." {John 3:16 NKJV}
Best crime channel on UA-cam
It truly is !!
I watch a lot of crime cases and I have to say this channel still the best
Why do people think they can get away with murder??
Full narcissistic pos
Only around 50% of homicides are solved, and that percentage has held pretty steady over the last half dozen years, according to FBI statistics analyzed by the Murder Accountability Project (and all other sources)
Sadly,it's because many killers do get away with murder. Around 48% of murders remain unsolved
what a frakking monster, and all the people who helped him should be held equally accountable
What kind of sloppy murder even was this? Blood absolutely everywhere, making his mistress clean it up? What an idiot.
Thank you for another excellent video! Your hard work is very appreciated! 🙏🏻😊💖
Her car was there, uneaten food in kitchen and her phone was not there. And already I know where this is going 😢❤
Thanks, you guys! ❤
Poor baby grow up with her precious mom and for logical reasons happy for not having that monster of father,so sad.
I hope she be happy someday.
“She was unstable”
“The crazy ex girlfriend”
So strange how it’s these so called crazy women that keep getting brutally killed and abused by their “totally cooperative” and “rational” boyfriends/male partners
UA-cam is one of the worst places for having comment sections and memes that mock women and girlfriends for being crazy; in my experience the victim blaming is worse than Reddit. And that’s saying something
It’s time people on UA-cam addressed the scum that lurk in the comments
Any time a man whines about his "unstable" ex/girlfriend/babymomma, it's pretty much a 99% guarantee that the man is a scumbag.
Thank you from your biggest fan in Seattle❤️🙏🏿
I have watched other episodes about this and you really tell it the best. I love hearing your videos. You are an amazing storyteller.
Your voice and your way of storytelling is so intriguing to me and that why I tune in 😮
I remember this one, but you, as usual, handle it well.
Moltes gràcies! ❤ Thanks so much!
Momma's always know...
krystal is spooky...shows no emotion whatsoever..amazes me how 2 psychopaths always find each other no matter how far away they are...like magnets.
Oh Man This case is Chilling.
What a vile and weak excuse of a man. She already lived out of the state, he could've just simply called off the engagement and worked out a custody deal. No need to commit such a violent murder. He's pathetic.
This is the best true crime channel
One of the only channels that i hit the like button before i watch. Your content is always good and very well presented. Long may it continue ❤😊
❤TC. Thank you for all your hard work.
I really loved the way narrator emphasised on Patrick will DIE in prison at 35:00, shows her passion and how much connected she is with her work, hats off for all your good work love this channel
Horrific case, love yer content cheers ladies 💯
"He seemed to have just checked out. But she wasn’t going to give up on what they had."🤦🏻♀️ What they had? They had nothing, apart from him donating sperm to make a kid. I’m futilely screaming _“RUN KELSEY!!!"_ in my head, but of course it’s too late for that.
Right ? Who writes these anyway
Hi Truly Criminal Beautyy! 🖐 We appreciate all of your crime stories..❤ ..You are the best UA-cam 'crime stories person' ..Luv frm California!

You ladies are such talented presenters. My favorite true crime media for sure! The length of your videos and the pacing through the content is exceptional. 👍🏽👍🏽

I've seen this case on another channel, but you nailed it!
