Publisher's Synopsis
Frazee was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison plus 156 years. Patrick Frazee, seen in court before his trial for the murder of Kelsey Berreth, was sentenced to life in prison plus 156 years.
On April 26th, 2018, Patrick Frazee, a cattle rancher from Florissant near Cripple Creek in Colorado, confided in his elderly neighbor that he'd finally figured out a way to kill his fiancé. "Nobody, no crime, right?"
Joe Moore, a fellow rancher who thought of Frazee as a stepson, and as one of the best cattlemen around, urged the 30-year-old to "get that sh*t out of your head." But Frazee didn't. He persisted. Seven months later, Frazee committed what he hoped was the perfect murder.
This is the definitive narrative of the Frazee case by the world's most prolific true-crime writer. Nick van der Leek follows Frazee's twisted adventure through Colorado and Idaho and into true crime infamy. Would the handsome cowboy's scheme, and would his mistress - a rodeo queen - succeed in their attempt to beat the law in Teller County, Colorado?
