😮Isn't it upsetting That more and more all these "Crime Stories" Which are kind of the same + outcome. With All these young women plus men..are being "killed" by the supposedly "loved ones "or someone that they knew... Maybe even trusted?!? That So Scary 😳😨😳 and even More its really really sad.. that this is how they like to project what life really matters to them.. That yes somebody else's profit now that you've been killed off and like I say and trademark and copyright other people's miseries are other people's Profit$..😮 Ok Peace 🙏🕊️🙏 11.21.2023 On a TV..crime show😮.
I looked Krystal up she only served 14 months was released early. One article even said she still had her nursing license!!!!! I’m a nurse, can you imagine having your loved one being cared for by this monster. This is outrageous!
people like to talk about Krystal but how about talk about the person who did all the killing . and you not going to get life in prison cleaning up a crime scene you know how stupid that sound
What made Crystal think he wouldn't do the same to her? They're both despicable and the prosecutor is right about deals with the devil. She deserves life in prison
She's the rough and tough sort of cookie and wouldn't stand for it. He'd have one hell of a fight on his hands with her, which is probably the reason she was able to become an ex without being a dead ex. Why she agreed to do this for him is a head scratcher. She's a material witness. Maybe he thought she really loved him and maybe at one time, she did.
This happened in the town where I grew up. When Krystal Kenney came up for parole I was so angry and started an online petition to stop her release. It went viral and we presented it to Dan May and the courts. We were successful in keeping her in prison for 6 more months. Kelsey's Mother is an angel on earth and I think of them often. Rest easy Kelsey..your family is doing good.
Love your enthusiasm but can't bring the dead back. Krystal made a huge mistake, and we're not exempt either. She served her sentence. The best thing to do is forgiveness. Forgiving her is good for the whole town folks that are affect by it.
Krystal K is more involved than she admits. I think she was there when he killed Kelsey. Wouldn't surprise me if she took part in the killing!! Krystals story is just a little bit to detailed for her to claim what she did!! Justice for Kelsey would have been locking Krystal up for life not giving her the easy way out!!
She was absolutely involved with murdering Kelsey and she's still a nurse? How PATHETIC is that? What the hell's wrong with our BROKEN JUSTICE SYSTEM? This case is UNBELIEVABLE 😪🙏
@sammas2959 I don't honestly know what to say to that. Forgiveness is not mine, it's Kelsey's families place. They are leaning on their religion and doing ok. The people in Woodland Park who witnessed the whole event are deeply, permanently damaged..We can't always just turn our cheek, nothing would ever change and I think even you would agree that things need to change in our country and our world.
I think it's designed to suggest that the police trust them to help with the case, to give up the goods completely. In this case, it apparently worked and Patrick's secret has been revealed. Police don't like making Faustian deals either, but sometimes it's the only way to rap up a case.
She was trying to bypass their intuition and look and feel legit in what she was saying. Also a slap in the victims families face to see a.murderer dressed as law enforcement given the deal that she got for brutally taking a louder on Thanksgiving day!
Crystal Lee is a Nurse and Rodeo chic. I find it hard to believe that she would have been afraid of him enough to not record what he was wanting her to do and take it to the cops. He mentioned it way more than once. She could of saved Kelsey. I believe she wanted her out of the way. She should still be in prison.
@@Marlainaexactly...driving all those miles and yet she was afraid to let the police know.. She was just glad Kelsey was finally out of her grotesque future with that sociopath. This is crazy.
Ladies, if a man, that’s not your man, asks you to clean, would you do it? We all know the answer and so does Krystal, she was SO involved. And Krystal’s friend, there’s something off with that woman.
...it IS BEYOND SICKENING that she wasnt held MORE accountable for the part she played in SUCH A Horrible crime... WHY WOULD YOU CLEAN UP A CRIME SCENE ??? That is Evilness, and N O CONSCIENCE. UNBELIEVABLE. DEVIL ENERGY INDEED.
I guess an hour isn't enough time for all the details, because I thought the same thing. I do know she had plenty of time on the road to think about what she was doing. She was an accomplice and deserved life. Shame on the system.
If you understand the process you would understand they needed her testimony to convict him. They call it a deal with the devil... No one is happy. It's a travesty but ultimately they HAD to get Patrick! He was a true monster. No one thinks it's fair but it was absolutely necessary sadly 😢 I believe she will get her karma... Somehow someway.
Totally agree, but I would say Crystal was the one that actually murdered her, then when she threw Patrick under the bus is why he put up his hit list! I don't know does it make sense? Some people are just monsters!
without her testimony and bringing evidence to light, no one would have heard of this case, there are so many cases of such without tangible evidence and the killers are walking free. like the prosecutor said, it was a deal with the devil.
She only shed a tear for herself in court. Yet. She nonchalantly explained to the police, her apparent involvement only in the clean up, without flinching, in a monotone even almost bored voice…
Ease up. This one is emphatically _not_ on her. It's on the killer and Krystal. Btw, imagine she told police - they go to Crystal and she denies it. Okay, now what?
I’m kind of cracking up at the fact that the investigator and the journalist went on a run to go get a caramel macchiato like it really needed a reenactment😂
She really is though. She had a million chances to tell on him. Not 1 single time did she. Then she drove down there and cleaned the crime scene smh. Nothing was forced. Then she decided to take the easy out and turned on him like most snitches do.
14 months?! 🤯 what a slap in the face! Condolences to Kelsey and her loving family and friends especially her sweet little girl. This case is so emotional, rest peacefully angel 🕊
It's shocking to me that Kelsey's loved ones had to ask the police to check for Kelsey's blood in the bathroom, when the police should have used luminol during their first investigation. Poor Kelsey, so sorry for her baby and other loved ones. Glad they caught Patrick, who meticulously planned everything. So sad.
Just a question. Is it standard for police to use luminol if the purpose of the walk through was for a reported missing person? Police said everything looked in place, which to me means nothing knocked over, evidence of a break in etc.
Crystal seems like she was eager to help her lover in this crime until she realized she might catch charges of her own. Her friends are covering their own horrible inaction.
I don't care the reason why, the fact that the woman is wearing a police jacket and hat is a disgrace to the rest of the men and women who wear it everyday in that agency. Bad call on someone's part.
48 hours.... I've been watching your true crime documentaries and I've not only said a prayer to the bereaved families but I've learnt alot, you're professional, sensitive and extremely clear, all happens as it were yesterday!! From 🇰🇪 with love!
BS they couldn't solve the case without Krystal. They had more than enough forensic evidence to get Patrick for the crime. There was visible blood still at the crime scene and one look at Patrick's yard and his burn pile, they would find evidence. I don't care how abused you are, it takes one sick individual to wipe up blood and pick up teeth off the floor, Krystal deserves more time in prison.
People are so bizarre. Why not just break up if you're into someone else or use protection if you are so against paying child support. Or just share the child like adults? How is this any better? Vile people, psychopaths at least have an excuse. People like this are worse.
I used to hate most of the episodes had a similar premise. But it's actually a good reminder how these things can happen to anyone and the evil humans are capable of. It's also a stark reminder the victims and families are real and that we relate to their pain.
What is so aggravating, sickening and sad. 1: she knew what was going to happen. 2: a judge can refuse a plea deal. 3: she was at the least guilty of being an accessory after the fact. 4: interfering in an investigation. 5: destroying evidence. 6: desecration of a corpse. If she only gets 3 years that is disgusting and worse yet is she only served 1 year and 2 months !!!
If your loved ones are missing, always ask the authority to check the phone where it was pinging to hasten the process of searching for them as well as the person of interest’s phone .
Of course but I also think I've seen previous cases where police have to hit certain criteria to access those records to the point where loved ones are begging for it to be done in the UK they definitely need some forms of what would be probable cause in the us
The prosecutor choking up at the end! He knows that deal with crystal was f up!. Just because she’s “ honest” about what happened doesn’t make it ok, she could have stopped this so many times! She’s just as guilty! And to clean it up like it was nothing?! WTH! People are so sick and evil! My heart goes out to Kelsey and her whole family especially sweet Kaylee! Such a senseless tragedy 😢
Exactly. This case and the deal with Crystal will haunt him (they) forever. They had a choice, they just wanted the easy way to get a conviction and doing this they failed Kelsey and her family…
Unfortunately they didn’t think they would be able to EVEN ARREST the killer unless they made a deal with the devil! I wish the deal would have included more time in prison but maybe her and her attorney would only agree to the plea deal that was made. The “devil” and her attorney also KNEW they NEEDED HER in order to get at the “evil killer”!!!
What an evil pair! I am simply dumbfounded how this woman could be manipulated. She’s not manipulated but a willing participant of the horrific crime against Kelsey.
As a Colorado resident this case was unimaginable. Men in our state viciously murdering the mothers of their children. This man was so evil they found Kelsey's teeth scattered around her condo. It was devastating.
So Crystal Lee was so afraid of him that she drove 800 miles to help him?? Yeah, I'm not buying that for a second. As a survivor of DV, I'm in no way, shape, or form going to drive 5 miles much less 800 miles to help someone I'm physically afraid of. She was involved, period. She should receive just as much time as he did imo. She's trash.
The ultimate statistic is that 10 out of every 10 people will die-you have an appointment to keep with death that you cannot cancel; where will you go after death; heaven or hell? innocent or guilty? what would it benefit a person if they gain a brand new car, a new relationship, a new phone, more money, a new house; and new clothes .....but in the end they ended up losing their own eternal soul? What do you think? Are you good enough to enter heaven? How many lies have you told before? Ever stolen? Ever lusted? Ever hated anyone? We have broken God's laws but Jesus has paid our fine!
That was brutal . Seeing this beautiful young lady with her baby in the store doing some grocery shopping knowing those were her last moments before being brutally beaten killed & burnt its nerve breaking - traumatizing . This guy is inhuman .As for his accomplish I don’t care if she helped in solving the case she s an accomplish she had so many chances to safe her by reporting this monster to the cops . She played major part in the death of this beautiful soul . This is so so sad 😭😭😭
I wonder what she was thinking in that moment the man she loved struck her for the first time and she realized he wanted her dead. She was completely blindsided. She was just cooking for him. Makes me look at my boyfriend differently. I may think we are fine but what is he thinking?
@@michaelstephens9852 Unless you have done criminal cases you will never understand how this works. It was either convict nobody and let them both walk away or you make a deal and convict the principal while the lesser offender gets a deal.
This is one of those cases like the Chris Watts case. No matter how many times I see footage, I can’t take my eyes and ears away from it The shear brutality of Kelsey’s last hour alive still rocks me to the core every time. Both cases randomly pop into my head throughout the day, even if it’s been months since I’ve watched any true crime documentaries. RIP beautiful lady 💜💜💜
@@charlotted6247 very true, however I don’t think people discard that true evil exists, I just think most people don’t like to admit to the bad side of humanity. That’s why I personally have to take breaks from true crime stuff, it gets so depressing. Only consolation is knowing in my heart that, although her death was beyond brutal and painful, that her spirit is at peace in a better realm of consciousness.
I know what you mean. I also give myself a break now, and then, but I always return, because it helps me to see that I'm not alone suffering, and that I will suffer with others in return, because some people have to carry burdens, and suffer fates that can really shake you to the core. Those families always stays in my heart, and thoughts, like you say, randomly pop up into my head throughout the day. Yeah, we must help each other carry our crosses.
This is a devastating situation. Prayers for the little girl. She's innocent and what do you tell her about her parents? And when do you let her know the truth?
We keep watching the same story of beautiful human-beings being snatched from "us", in the most evil & idiotic ways. We become deeply saddened...& then we see the light of that beauty in the victim´s families & friends, & in the extraordinary men & women that fought for them & get choked up "speaking in their name"...Thank God For Them! RIP Angel Kelsey..
. . . yep, and people who think that police will believe anything. Come on with the fake text. That trick has failed in lots of suspicious cases, but men (some women too) keep trying to make the dead seem alive when they're dead. Geez.
Patrick rotted in jail for ruined his daughter's life without her mother, Rip Kesley, an angel I hope her daughter is loving care with her grandparents
Okay so why did they need to make a deal with her at all? They have the cell phones traveling together with her disappeared and sending text messages to him. That is dead to rights to me.
Agreed. I think it's because they burned the body and literally nothing was left. It's a shame - this accomplice should have spent 15-20 years in prison.
This little baby girl was in the next room while her mom screamed for her life and her father splattered the room with her mom's blood. He has no regard for women as humans and I'm glad the jury saw through his BS. And his "girlfriend" didn't at least think about that little girl, nor of Kelsey. 🤢🤢🤢🤢
How did Crystal know that Kelsey was begging for her life?!!...Asking him to stop?...Then she was there and witness the killing...She also helped to get rid of the body...Who does that?..Someone who is just as evil as Patrick.... Kelsey family members should file a lawsuit on her for eventful death....
What a coward Patrick is and Crystal was so easily manipulated by him. Crystal received a ridiculously light sentence, but her reputation is permanently scarred now. Such a crazy and sad story.😢
Crystal is just as pathetic as him & I can see the hurt in the prosecutors eyes when he was crying, how unfair it was that she could have saved her life yet was given a deal…. 💔truly tragic
All these people knew and not a single person said a word. Crystal knew she was done so she the only thing she could do and that was save herself. Crystal would of been next on his hit list. She probably saved her own life by giving evidence. Shame on all of the people involved.
@@SidewaysInTrafficthe body was documented in his truck, as mentioned in the video - they actually show the video evidence. Additionally, the burn site was at Patrick's ranch, where he lived with his mom. Tooth fragment found in burn pit.
Its up to women to watch for other women and not do for these garbage men. she could have gone to the police, but she was as pathetic as he was, she did nothing. Rip to kelsey
What kind of person would want a man who kills someone let alone their child’s mother?! Crystal is nuts and she should be locked up and put away. 14 months is a disgrace.
Having known a girl who was murdered, and she was a neighbor, not a loved one of mine, a neighbor and it still took the hardest toll on me... I couldnt fathom and dont WANT to ever have to experience what this poor girls mother experienced. The pain, Im sure, UNBEARABLE. Just evil of this monster to have taken her from her momma and daughter.
They are equally wrong. Testimony or not she is just as much of a responsible party if not more. It would of all been prevented and she would be alive if she had reported the craziness this man requested of her. SHAME ON HER!!
I won't throw my life away for a man, especially one that is already taken. If I can't be in a legitimate relationship, why would I want to be with him period.
14 months are u kidding me. They didnt even need her testimony to find him guilty i dont think . I feel so bad for this sweet girls parents n friends n family prayers to all🙏♥️ rip kelsey
Attorneys can get a bad wrap sometimes, so when I see these prosecutors get chocked up and/or tearful because they have become so emotionally invested in the case and fighting for justice for the victim, it leaves me with a good feeling that sometimes the justice system, although broken a lot of the time, does still work sometimes.
This story is horrible and it's sickening that she was not held responsible for her death. To be charged with only 14 months is very disrespectful to the family.
She only served a little over a year which is outrageous and unbelievable- a slap in the face to her daughter and family. She should be stripped of her nursing license- she’s absolutely EVIL
I live in this area of CO and I have never heard of this story…. Wild 😢 Wonder if giving Crystal Lee a police jacket to wear while she took them thru the scene had the psychological effect of making her feel like part of the police team…smart
This man is a narcissist. Im sure he was abusive to her emotionally. First flag this man aint worth it: letting her to moved to his state. A real man move to you. She thought she had a family. She was the perfect victim for him. So sad for Kelsey.
It's also a good example of why you don't use dating sites you never know who your meeting online people can be fake. They lie and act like thier good till you meet them.
Never move for a man. I met my husband on a site but just like if I met him in real life, you take the time to suss them out and watch for flags. You don't move in and certainly don't get pregnant.
It’s also why we need to bring up girls to not be this easily used. It was clear he didn’t like her and yet she kept trying to play happy family with a guy that was over her. Some dignity
I don't understand how Krystal gets up every morning and looks her children in the eyes. She allowed Kelsey to be murdered. What a sorry excuse of a human being.
Chrysyal sounds highly competetive and has to win at all cost. This sounds like her idea. If she was innocent and didn't want Kelsie dead she'd have called the cops ASAP. This sounds like her way of removing what she felt kept her from her love interest.

@@tish5492it was a female idea to sniff candles and name scent.
14 months?! 🤯 what a slap in the face! Condolences to Kelsey and her loving family and friends especially her sweet little girl. This case is so emotional, rest peacefully angel 🕊
Right. Even 10 yrs w/o parole would have still been a deal for her instead of life. I think the DA dropped the ball on that one.
It's shocking to me that Kelsey's loved ones had to ask the police to check for Kelsey's blood in the bathroom, when the police should have used luminol during their first investigation. Poor Kelsey, so sorry for her baby and other loved ones. Glad they caught Patrick, who meticulously planned everything. So sad.
I agree. What the hell is wrong with these "investigators"........had to come back again to check for blood? Who's running this show.....
Its Colorado...their LE never does anything right.
Just a question. Is it standard for police to use luminol if the purpose of the walk through was for a reported missing person? Police said everything looked in place, which to me means nothing knocked over, evidence of a break in etc.
I thought the same thing.
Even with zero experience in LE, I feel pretty confident that given the lead role, I could have overseen a better investigation. And I'm an idiot.
I can’t imagine the pain Kelsey has endured. RIP, Kelsey.
Crystal seems like she was eager to help her lover in this crime until she realized she might catch charges of her own. Her friends are covering their own horrible inaction.
If dude was black both of them would have gotten life.
@@josedavis4658 Haha. In the 90s. Being black in 2023 means you get a pass.
@@josedavis4658not anymore.
I don't care the reason why, the fact that the woman is wearing a police jacket and hat is a disgrace to the rest of the men and women who wear it everyday in that agency. Bad call on someone's part.
48 hours....
I've been watching your true crime documentaries and I've not only said a prayer to the bereaved families but I've learnt alot, you're professional, sensitive and extremely clear, all happens as it were yesterday!!
From 🇰🇪 with love!
I feel like she is just as guilty as him!!!
Almost
Definitely, Crystal could have saved Kelsey’s life!!
No, she isn't.
@@bbe3034Not only that, but she willingly participated.
you don't have to feel. you can know... it's all laid out in this program
BS they couldn't solve the case without Krystal. They had more than enough forensic evidence to get Patrick for the crime. There was visible blood still at the crime scene and one look at Patrick's yard and his burn pile, they would find evidence. I don't care how abused you are, it takes one sick individual to wipe up blood and pick up teeth off the floor, Krystal deserves more time in prison.
People are so bizarre. Why not just break up if you're into someone else or use protection if you are so against paying child support. Or just share the child like adults? How is this any better? Vile people, psychopaths at least have an excuse. People like this are worse.
Yep, and I sure don't get why so many women in particular don't seem to be using birth control to protect themselves.
Exactly! And it’s 2023, with all the DNA evidence and phone records etc. you are going to get caught.
Only psychopaths would do something like that. No normal person would do that.

I went to college with her and couldn’t watch this. Unreal when something like this happens to someone you know.
48 hours is an addictive show. Reminds you of the evil that exists in this world. Just have to remind yourself that many good people exist as well.
You're right. I do focus on the evil we can demonstrate but I need to remember all those people who fight for justice
I used to hate most of the episodes had a similar premise. But it's actually a good reminder how these things can happen to anyone and the evil humans are capable of. It's also a stark reminder the victims and families are real and that we relate to their pain.
It reminds me that evil lives at home...
Keep the 48 hours episodes coming! ❤❤❤
Yessssss❤
* Oh Yesss....love love love them..never DISAPPOINTS!!!👌*
Tuesday and Friday, 7am eastern.
The best!
Keep them real🎉
Wtf is that coffee story, like you would drink a coffee when some random stranger knocks on your door to give it you 🤔
Kinda crazy. I agree.
😂
I'm sure she didn't drink lt. =( either way this is why I don't like opening my door to people I don't know or not expecting 😔
It's sounds like a Snowhite plot line
What is so aggravating, sickening and sad.
1: she knew what was going to happen.
2: a judge can refuse a plea deal.
3: she was at the least guilty of being an accessory after the fact.
4: interfering in an investigation.
5: destroying evidence.
6: desecration of a corpse.
If she only gets 3 years that is disgusting and worse yet is she only served 1 year and 2 months !!!
If the judge refuses the plea deal, can the prosecution use any information obtained through krystal?
Krystal's family must have used their influence. She shouldn't have a nurse licence anymore. Can someone filed a complain so that she loses it?
She’s as guilty as he is
🎉🎉🎉🎉
No, she isn't.
Worse
Friend of hers, huh@@jimwerther
Deeply deeply sad and disturbing. Kelsey loved her baby and this MONSTER and he killed her for it.
If your loved ones are missing, always ask the authority to check the phone where it was pinging to hasten the process of searching for them as well as the person of interest’s phone .
Of course but I also think I've seen previous cases where police have to hit certain criteria to access those records to the point where loved ones are begging for it to be done in the UK they definitely need some forms of what would be probable cause in the us
The prosecutor choking up at the end! He knows that deal with crystal was f up!. Just because she’s “ honest” about what happened doesn’t make it ok, she could have stopped this so many times! She’s just as guilty! And to clean it up like it was nothing?! WTH! People are so sick and evil! My heart goes out to Kelsey and her whole family especially sweet Kaylee! Such a senseless tragedy 😢
Exactly. This case and the deal with Crystal will haunt him (they) forever. They had a choice, they just wanted the easy way to get a conviction and doing this they failed Kelsey and her family…
Unfortunately they didn’t think they would be able to EVEN ARREST the killer unless they made a deal with the devil! I wish the deal would have included more time in prison but maybe her and her attorney would only agree to the plea deal that was made. The “devil” and her attorney also KNEW they NEEDED HER in order to get at the “evil killer”!!!
Ditto. Such a horrific tragedy.
💯 exactly 😢 😔
As I read earlier and now totally agree, “he who squeals gets the appeal”
What an evil pair! I am simply dumbfounded how this woman could be manipulated. She’s not manipulated but a willing participant of the horrific crime against Kelsey.
They both need to rot in prison!
As a Colorado resident this case was unimaginable. Men in our state viciously murdering the mothers of their children. This man was so evil they found Kelsey's teeth scattered around her condo. It was devastating.
Yup I live in Colorado too. Senseless death!
I can't imagine the pain she felt, blindfolded, and having your face and head bludgeoned repeatedly.
Krystal Kenny should be in jail for the rest of her life. She’s just as guilty as Patrick. She’s a scumbag
*Kenney
What the hell is wrong with people, we truly live amongst demons.
So Crystal Lee was so afraid of him that she drove 800 miles to help him?? Yeah, I'm not buying that for a second. As a survivor of DV, I'm in no way, shape, or form going to drive 5 miles much less 800 miles to help someone I'm physically afraid of. She was involved, period. She should receive just as much time as he did imo. She's trash.
800 miles MULTIPLE times. It's insane.
First point accurate.
Second one absurd.
Her friends need to be accountable too😢
14 Months for Covering up a Crime?
She's just as guilty as Him and should have served at least 20 years !
I love how compassionate that lawyer is.❤
It blows my mind how people can vanish and go missing forever, never to be found 😕
maybe he wants to be a magician but unfortunately, the ashes didn't vanish, Scam!
The ultimate statistic is that 10 out of every 10 people will die-you have an appointment to keep with death that you cannot cancel; where will you go after death; heaven or hell? innocent or guilty?
what would it benefit a person if they gain a brand new car, a new relationship, a new phone, more money, a new house; and new clothes .....but in the end they ended up losing their own eternal soul?
What do you think? Are you good enough to enter heaven? How many lies have you told before? Ever stolen? Ever lusted?
Ever hated anyone? We have broken God's laws but Jesus has paid our fine!
I was glued to this story when it happened. Such a horrible thing they did to her.
That was brutal . Seeing this beautiful young lady with her baby in the store doing some grocery shopping knowing those were her last moments before being brutally beaten killed & burnt its nerve breaking - traumatizing . This guy is inhuman .As for his accomplish I don’t care if she helped in solving the case she s an accomplish she had so many chances to safe her by reporting this monster to the cops . She played major part in the death of this beautiful soul . This is so so sad 😭😭😭
I wonder what she was thinking in that moment the man she loved struck her for the first time and she realized he wanted her dead. She was completely blindsided. She was just cooking for him. Makes me look at my boyfriend differently. I may think we are fine but what is he thinking?
Accomplice.
I dont understand why she got off so light. She could've saved this woman's life but instead she helped end it.
The only reason is that she changed the outcome of the case. Yes she is disgusting but sometimes you gotta make deal with the devil.
@mayazc7553 I understand a deal. But that was way too light.
@@michaelstephens9852 Unless you have done criminal cases you will never understand how this works. It was either convict nobody and let them both walk away or you make a deal and convict the principal while the lesser offender gets a deal.
@@ailleananaithnid2566Or ways of handling things need to change. It's not carved into a rock.
*I believe they would've gotten a conviction without any deal with this EVIL VILE DEMON!!*
This is one of those cases like the Chris Watts case. No matter how many times I see footage, I can’t take my eyes and ears away from it
The shear brutality of Kelsey’s last hour alive still rocks me to the core every time. Both cases randomly pop into my head throughout the day, even if it’s been months since I’ve watched any true crime documentaries.
RIP beautiful lady 💜💜💜
It hurts all over again, each time I watch you feel her family's pain.
People need to be very aware that horrible people do exist.
@@charlotted6247 very true, however I don’t think people discard that true evil exists, I just think most people don’t like to admit to the bad side of humanity. That’s why I personally have to take breaks from true crime stuff, it gets so depressing. Only consolation is knowing in my heart that, although her death was beyond brutal and painful, that her spirit is at peace in a better realm of consciousness.
The Chris Watts case is far more heinous.
I know what you mean. I also give myself a break now, and then, but I always return, because it helps me to see that I'm not alone suffering, and that I will suffer with others in return, because some people have to carry burdens, and suffer fates that can really shake you to the core. Those families always stays in my heart, and thoughts, like you say, randomly pop up into my head throughout the day. Yeah, we must help each other carry our crosses.
take Diazepam or don't watch crime stories at all.
That “nurse” should never be able to work in healthcare in ANY capacity, not even as a hospital dishwasher. What an embarrassment to our community 😒
This is a devastating situation. Prayers for the little girl. She's innocent and what do you tell her about her parents? And when do you let her know the truth?
We keep watching the same story of beautiful human-beings being snatched from "us", in the most evil & idiotic ways. We become deeply saddened...& then we see the light of that beauty in the victim´s families & friends, & in the extraordinary men & women that fought for them & get choked up "speaking in their name"...Thank God For Them! RIP Angel Kelsey..
. . . yep, and people who think that police will believe anything. Come on with the fake text. That trick has failed in lots of suspicious cases, but men (some women too) keep trying to make the dead seem alive when they're dead. Geez.
Patrick rotted in jail for ruined his daughter's life without her mother, Rip Kesley, an angel I hope her daughter is loving care with her grandparents
She is...
Thank you 48hrs. These episodes surely to God help save lives....and help keep your viewers eyes..wide open. 🇺🇸
Okay so why did they need to make a deal with her at all? They have the cell phones traveling together with her disappeared and sending text messages to him. That is dead to rights to me.
Agreed. I think it's because they burned the body and literally nothing was left. It's a shame - this accomplice should have spent 15-20 years in prison.
@@marygoff3332 Figuratively or virtually would be correct in this context, not literally. If a body is burnt, there will be something left.
This little baby girl was in the next room while her mom screamed for her life and her father splattered the room with her mom's blood.
He has no regard for women as humans and I'm glad the jury saw through his BS.
And his "girlfriend" didn't at least think about that little girl, nor of Kelsey. 🤢🤢🤢🤢
How did Crystal know that Kelsey was begging for her life?!!...Asking him to stop?...Then she was there and witness the killing...She also helped to get rid of the body...Who does that?..Someone who is just as evil as Patrick....
Kelsey family members should file a lawsuit on her for eventful death....
Yes. She killed her? Or she was there. Hard to knowe. And she lies all the time.
Why does she get to parade around in police jacket and hat?
Not to be bothered by outsiders, I suppose..
What a coward Patrick is and Crystal was so easily manipulated by him. Crystal received a ridiculously light sentence, but her reputation is permanently scarred now. Such a crazy and sad story.😢
I am addicted to this channel. Once I start I can't stop watching 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Crystal is just as pathetic as him & I can see the hurt in the prosecutors eyes when he was crying, how unfair it was that she could have saved her life yet was given a deal…. 💔truly tragic
All these people knew and not a single person said a word. Crystal knew she was done so she the only thing she could do and that was save herself. Crystal would of been next on his hit list. She probably saved her own life by giving evidence. Shame on all of the people involved.
Well who's to say she wasn't the killer and he assisted? And he was next lol.
@@SidewaysInTrafficthe body was documented in his truck, as mentioned in the video - they actually show the video evidence. Additionally, the burn site was at Patrick's ranch, where he lived with his mom. Tooth fragment found in burn pit.
would *HAVE
@@SidewaysInTraffic it is very possible that all those ideas (how to do it) were actually hers..
Rodeo and kindness don’t go together. Rodeo is anti kindness, as is anyone who supports it.
Another child robbed of their mother, by the hands of a monster. I hope Kelsey's mum finds joy in caring for her grandchild. ❤
Its up to women to watch for other women and not do for these garbage men. she could have gone to the police, but she was as pathetic as he was, she did nothing. Rip to kelsey
Sadly , most women won’t listen
The fact that the male prosecutor went to tears…he cared
He's a devil in disguise. I can't believe the ex-GF served only 14 months! I hope the future is bright for baby Kaylee. 💛
What kind of person would want a man who kills someone let alone their child’s mother?! Crystal is nuts and she should be locked up and put away. 14 months is a disgrace.
Having known a girl who was murdered, and she was a neighbor, not a loved one of mine, a neighbor and it still took the hardest toll on me... I couldnt fathom and dont WANT to ever have to experience what this poor girls mother experienced. The pain, Im sure, UNBEARABLE. Just evil of this monster to have taken her from her momma and daughter.
How did she know what Kelsey’s last words were if she *supposedly* wasn’t there during the attack?
As if 3 years was not enough, good ol' legal system reduced it to 14 months... wow.
She had connections
@@philippamediwake1235
You made that up
he did @@jimwerther
They are equally wrong. Testimony or not she is just as much of a responsible party if not more. It would of all been prevented and she would be alive if she had reported the craziness this man requested of her. SHAME ON HER!!
I have no words. This is a disturbing story:(
Poor Kelsey never stood a chance 😢
What a class act Crystal is, she should have been locked up for much longer
14 months..... she's a murderer too.....
Thinking of her daughter, Mom & family on this sad Anniversary ❤️🩹
I won't throw my life away for a man, especially one that is already taken. If I can't be in a legitimate relationship, why would I want to be with him period.
They BOTH needed Life in Prison. My heart hurrs 🥺
This is why you don't judge (date) people on looks and interests alone, but on character and history.
What a tragedy. I just cant wrap my mind around someone being so selfish and evil. Tht DA choking up got me.
14 months are u kidding me. They didnt even need her testimony to find him guilty i dont think . I feel so bad for this sweet girls parents n friends n family prayers to all🙏♥️ rip kelsey
Makes you wonder if he's killed someone before this, he just seems so nonchalant about murdering people.
Completely!!! 💯💯💯
She should be in prison for helping him 3 years what a joke
And only served 14 months...she aided him !!!!
Attorneys can get a bad wrap sometimes, so when I see these prosecutors get chocked up and/or tearful because they have become so emotionally invested in the case and fighting for justice for the victim, it leaves me with a good feeling that sometimes the justice system, although broken a lot of the time, does still work sometimes.
This story is horrible and it's sickening that she was not held responsible for her death. To be charged with only 14 months is very disrespectful to the family.
She was charged with "14 months"? Is that a felony?
Patrick the real monster is in jail for life so I think justice was ultimately served.
@@jimwerther: She SERVED only 14 months of her sentence.
@@markprange2430
Oh, THAT's what she meant? Thank you SO much for explaining. Now I can sleep at night.
She only served a little over a year which is outrageous and unbelievable- a slap in the face to her daughter and family. She should be stripped of her nursing license- she’s absolutely EVIL
Heartbreaking 💔 RIP Kelsey 🥀
I live in this area of CO and I have never heard of this story…. Wild 😢
Wonder if giving Crystal Lee a police jacket to wear while she took them thru the scene had the psychological effect of making her feel like part of the police team…smart
Yeah,they knew she was a sociopath. Smart move from police.
And on the jury
Kelsey's parents should sue the pants off the devil who is free.
Absolutely!
That poor baby...
She's in another room and her father is murdering her mother...
That little girl didn't deserve that...
Rest in peace 🕊️
This man is a narcissist. Im sure he was abusive to her emotionally. First flag this man aint worth it: letting her to moved to his state. A real man move to you. She thought she had a family. She was the perfect victim for him. So sad for Kelsey.
💯💯💯
It's also a good example of why you don't use dating sites you never know who your meeting online people can be fake. They lie and act like thier good till you meet them.
@@aaronnantz2289using dating sites is fine. You know this happened long, long before dating sites, right?
Never move for a man.
I met my husband on a site but just like if I met him in real life, you take the time to suss them out and watch for flags. You don't move in and certainly don't get pregnant.
It’s also why we need to bring up girls to not be this easily used. It was clear he didn’t like her and yet she kept trying to play happy family with a guy that was over her. Some dignity
I don't understand how Krystal gets up every morning and looks her children in the eyes. She allowed Kelsey to be murdered. What a sorry excuse of a human being.
Chrysyal sounds highly competetive and has to win at all cost. This sounds like her idea. If she was innocent and didn't want Kelsie dead she'd have called the cops ASAP. This sounds like her way of removing what she felt kept her from her love interest.
