On Thanksgiving Day 2018, Colorado mom Kelsey Berreth went missing. After being seen for the last time with her infant daughter on surveillance footage from inside a grocery store, many began taking a closer look at her fiancé, Patrick Frazee, along with his former mistress, Krystal Kenney. Now, following both her and Frazee's convictions for their roles in Berreth's murder, she has made a new request that has since been denied.

According to KOAA, Kenney requested to be relocated from a prison, where she is currently serving a three-year sentence for evidence tampering, to a halfway house or a community corrections program. Before her request was denied, the move had officially been under consideration.

Prior to her official sentencing, Kenney had accepted a plea deal after revealing previously-unheard details of the crime during Frazee's 2019 murder trial and acknowledging the role she played in covering up Berreth's murder.

In a letter written by District Attorney Dan May and Senior Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Viehman, they stated that Judge Scott Sells had previously said that placing Kenney on probation instead of giving her a prison sentence would have minimized "the depravity of her actions." Continuing, they added that they believed sending her to a halfway house would also "do just that."

At this time, Kenney could be referred again in as little as six months. She is also scheduled for a parole hearing in February 2021 and has a mandatory release date set for Nov. 4, 2022. Her release will then be followed by one year of parole.

As for Frazee, after being found guilty of first-degree murder, three counts of solicitation to commit murder, and tampering with a deceased human body, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole plus 156 years after being convicted on all counts.

Since beginning his sentence, reports have surfaced that indicated that he had once asked Jacob Bentley, another inmate at the Teller County facility, to kill key witnesses prior to his 2019 murder trial. The series of notes that the convicted killer penned himself were eventually handed over to the prosecution and used to secure a guilty verdict.

Additionally, Frazee himself has also broken his silence in a letter to a journalist where he stated that he has been wrongly convicted and did not kill Berreth.
