Who Is Patrick Frazee’s Girlfriend? New Details About The Idaho Woman Who May Be Connected To Kelsey Berreth's Murder
She may have disposed of Berreth's cellphone.
WOODLAND PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT An Idaho woman is being investigated in the case of missing Colorado mom Kelsey Berreth, whose fiance was charged with her apparent murder.
Multiple sources told ABC News that a 32-year-old Twin Falls woman is under investigation who is believed to have played a role in the disposal of Berreth's cellphone following her Thanksgiving disappearance.
“For now, ABC News is withholding her name because she has not been publicly identified or charged,” ABC's Clayton Sandell tweeted Wednesday.
The woman, a Magic Valley nurse, had known Frazee for a few years and worked with him for some time in Colorado. They were reportedly having an affair, sources revealed to DailyMail. Two people who worked with the woman said they have been seeing each other romantically for months, despite his engagement to Berreth.
The woman got divorced a few years ago and met Frazee at a rodeo, the sources told DailyMail. It's unclear when their relationship began, but one source said it could have started as far back as 2016 — before the birth of Frazee and Berreth's daughter.

The 29-year-old mother was last seen on Nov. 22 shopping with her infant daughter at a local supermarket in Woodland Park via surveillance footage. Four days after she went missing, Berreth's cell phone was pinged in Gooding, Idaho, about 700 miles from Woodland Park and only 40 miles from Twin Falls.
Frazee had never left the state during those times, so it is possible that the mystery woman took the device back to Idaho with her when she returned home.
Police in Twin Falls have been working with Colorado and federal authorities in their investigation, Twin Falls police said in a statement. Further details, such as what evidence was collected and the locations of the search warrants, were not released.
"They've got a lot of investigative leads, a number of interviews they want to do, a number of items they have to collect and quite frankly, releasing all that information to the public could hurt their ability to do their investigation," said Fourth Judicial District Attorney Dan May.
News of the rumored affair came just days after Frazee was formally charged with murder.
On Monday, Berreth's fiance was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, filed under two separate theories about the alleged slaying, as well as three counts of solicitation to commit first-degree murder. He had reportedly been planning to kill hife wife-to-be for three months.
Little is known about the evidence authorities have against Frazee as the charging document are sealed and the investigation remains active. Police said that more arrests were possible but none have been made.
Berreth's body has not been found. Police "recovered a number of items" in her home that led them to believe she was killed in her Woodland Park residence. Frazee was the last person to see Berreth alive, police say.
He is being held without bond at Teller County Jail. He is scheduled to appear in court on January 29. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
