Family of mom bludgeoned in front of her baby say they want to ‘strangle’ killer fiance’s mistress who knew of plot
KELSEY Berreth's family members say they want to "choke" and "strangle" the woman who knew of the plot to murder the young mother for months - and did nothing.
In a preview from tomorrow night's Dateline special Devil's Bargain that was obtained by The Sun, the family also says that they want to HUG Krystal Kenney for putting Patrick Frazee behind bars.
STAR-CROSSED KILLERS
She argued that she did as Patrick told her because she feared for her own life, and recounted the moment when she informed Patrick in March 2016 that she was pregnant with his child.
Krystal, who was married at the time with two children of her own, testified that Patrick did not even react when she told him the news.
Patrick did eventually express his concern though about being the father to a "bastard child" said Krystal.
He then said: "Well, I guess you're a baby killer or you're not."
Krystal told the court that she aborted the child a short time later.
The couple dated back in 2006, but split after a year together said Krystal back in October.
There was a brief reunion in 2008, when Krystal met with Patrick to purchase a border collie.
She thought the trip was nothing more, but after arriving Patrick asked her to leave her fiance and rekindle their romance.
Krystal said that she refused that offer but did leave with the dog, which led to a threat from her ex.
"Patrick said if he didn't get the check, he was going to come to Idaho and kill the dog," said Krystal.
He did not follow through on that threat, but did implore her to leave her fiance once more the night before their wedding.
MURDER SHE WROTE
Over the next five years there was no contact. Krystal had two children with her husband, and settled down in Idaho where she worked as a nurse.
Then, in 2015, she and Patrick got back together when her marriage hit a rough patch said Krystal.
A year later, after her abortion, Krystal put their relationship on hold for a bit and filed for divorce from her husband.
It was a few months before the murder when she claims Patrick first asked her to murder Kelsey.
In one instance, she was to give her coffee laced with drugs. Krystal said that she did bring Kelsey the coffee because Patrick as watching, but did not poison her as directed.
Then she was asked to take Kelsey's life with a baseball bat, but again backed out after approaching the back door of the mother's home with weapon in hand.
She said that Patrick supplied her with a metal pipe during her third attempt, and asked her to take out Kelsey by striking her on the back of her neck.
The Dateline special Devil’s Bargain airs this Friday at 9pm ET/8pm CT on NBC.
