Evidence about the missing Colorado mom, Kelsey Berreth, has been found in Idaho, according to authorities.

The Twin Falls, Idaho, police said in a statement on Saturday that its officers, along with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the FBI, are preparing to “serve several search warrants as well as processing some items of evidence." There was no indication by officials what the evidence was.

“We are pleased our organizations were able to provide the assistance and support requested by the FBI, CBI, and the Woodland Park Police Department,” Tom Carter, Twin Falls Sheriff, and Craig Kingsbury, Police Chief, said in a joint statement.

Berreth, 29, went missing on Thanksgiving Day. She was last seen with her daughter at a Safeway in Woodland Park, Colorado, with her 1-year-old daughter Kaley. Her fiancé, Patrick Frazee, was thought to be the last person to see her. He is the father of Kaley but he is not married to Berreth, and they live at separate residences.

Three days after Thanksgiving Day, Berreth’s cell phone pinged near Gooding, Idaho, just 40 miles from Twin Falls. Berreth’s fiancé, Patrick Frazee was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and solicitation to commit first-degree murder on Friday, after investigators searched his Florissant, Colorado, ranch home.

“Sadly, we do not believe Kelsey is still alive," Miles DeYoung, Woodland Park Police Chief, said at a press conference on Friday.

The parents of Berreth were “absolutely devastated by the news, her cousin Jodi Garretson told Inside Edition. "I can't even fully comprehend how horrible they have to be feeling. That's their only daughter,” she told the news outlet.

When District Attorney Dan May was asked to elaborate on the solicitation to commit murder charge, he told WCMH-TV that it is a crime to solicit somebody to commit another crime.

Frazee is being held without bond and is due in court on Dec. 31.

Berreth’s daughter was taken into protective custody where she will be reunited with family, according to police.
