 Authorities searching the Colorado property of a missing woman’s fiancé said Sunday that investigators completed their work without finding Kelsey Berreth. 
 
 Berreth, 29, vanished on Thanksgiving in what police in Woodland Park, northwest of Colorado Springs, have described as a suspicious disappearance. 
 
 She was last seen walking into a Safeway grocery store in Woodland Park. Three days later, her cell phone pinged to a location in Idaho, 800 miles away. 
 
 In a statement Sunday, the Woodland Park Police Department said roughly 75 people were involved in the Saturday search of Patrick Frazee’s property in nearby Florissant. 
 
 A backhoe was also used “to be as thorough as possible,” it said. 
 
 “We still have not found Kelsey,” the department said. “Investigators continue to conduct interviews and this case remains our number one priority.” 
 
 Authorities have not identified Frazee as a person of interest or a suspect in Berreth's disappearance, but Woodland Park Police Chief Miles De Young said last week that Frazee was the last person to see her “face to face.” 
 
 “We have yet to have him sit down with...investigators and that’s what we’re asking for,” De Young told reporters, adding that Frazee was “communicating with us through his attorney and that’s about all I can say about that.” 
 
 But Frazee’s lawyer, Jeremy Loew, said his client has cooperated with police since Berreth, a flight instructor with Doss Aviation, went missing, turning over his cell phone and photos and providing a DNA sample. 
 
 "Mr. Frazee was never asked to voluntarily participate in this search," Loew said in a statement Friday. "We encourage law enforcement to take whatever steps it deems necessary to find Kelsey Berreth and to be able to exclude Patrick Frazee as a possible suspect in this missing person investigation." 
 
 The Sunday statement from police said only that authorities had completed their search of Frazee’s property ||||| The family of a Colorado mother who vanished nearly three weeks ago is asking the public to help bring her home. Kelsey Berreth was last seen Thanksgiving Day shopping with her 1-year-old daughter. She was reported missing 10 days later. 
 
 
 
 When investigators searched her home they found her cars, her clothes, her toothbrush, even cinnamon rolls apparently untouched since Thanksgiving. On Monday, Berreth's mother choked back tears as she appealed for her daughter's safe return. 
 
 "Kelsey, we just want you home. Call us if you can, and we won't quit looking," Cheryl Berreth said. "Someone knows where she's at ... She's not the kind that runs off. This is completely out of character." 
 
 The 29-year-old was last seen at a Safeway on November 22 where surveillance cameras captured her shopping with her daughter, Kaylee, shortly before Patrick Frazee, Berreth's fiancé and Kaylee's father, picked up the 1-year-old. 
 
 On November 25, three days after the Woodland Park, Colorado, resident disappeared, police say her cellphone pinged near Gooding, Idaho, nearly 800 miles away. That same day, two text messages were apparently sent from the device. One told her employer – Doss Aviation, where she was a flight instructor – she would not be showing up to work the following week. The second message was sent to Frazee. 
 
 Woodland Park Police Chief Miles De Young said it was Berreth's mother who reported her missing December 2, more than a week after those texts were sent, prompting questions about why her fiancé didn't report her missing. 
 
 De Young said he is unaware of any reports of domestic violence involving the couple. Frazee's home has not been searched and police describe him as cooperative. He declined to appear at the press conference Monday. 
 
 "We are treating Kelsey's disappearance as a missing person's case at this time. We have not identified anyone as a suspect, and are asking the public for any information that might help us find her," De Young said. 
 
 
 
 Berreth's family has created a Facebook page called "Missing Mother - Kelsey Berreth." Police said all the planes at the flight school where she worked are accounted for. Frazee, who has been caring for Kaylee, has not responded to our requests for comment. ||||| A cellphone belonging to the Colorado mom who vanished after Thanksgiving was used to send a pair of mysterious texts three days after she was last spotted in public with her 1-year-old daughter, cops said Tuesday, as the search for the woman intensified. 
 
 Kelsey Berreth was reported missing by her mother 10 days after she was last seen or heard from. Surveillance video shows Berreth buying groceries with her daughter inside a Safeway supermarket in Woodland Park on Thanksgiving Day, and her fiancé, Patrick Frazee, then met her to pick up the couple's daughter. 
 
 Authorities on Monday revealed one of the text messages sent after she was last seen indicated Berreth planned to be gone the week after Thanksgiving — but she never returned home. 
 
 The last location her cellphone pinged was in Gooding, Idaho, nearly 700 miles away from her home. Berreth’s text to her employer at Doss Aviation — a company that provides flight training for the U.S. military and international armed services — stated she wouldn’t be at work the following week. 
 
 “Kelsey’s phone gave a location near Gooding, Idaho on November 25th at 5:13 p.m.,” Woodland Park Police Chief Miles De Young said. 
 
 Another text message was sent to Berreth’s fiancé, Patrick Frazee, though it’s unclear what was said and it's not clear Berreth was even the person sending the messages. 
 
 SEARCH FOR KELSEY BERRETH, MISSING COLORADO WOMAN, INTENSIFIES AS MOTHER SAYS ‘SOMEONE KNOWS WHERE SHE’S AT’ 
 
 Berreth’s mother, Cheryl Berreth, put out a public plea Monday for the 29-year-old’s safe return. 
 
 “Kelsey we just want you home. Call us if you can. Someone knows where she’s at,” Cheryl Berreth said in a news conference on Monday afternoon. “She’s not the kind that runs off. This is completely out of character.” 
 
 Cheryl added: “Kelsey loves her God. She loves her family and friends and she loves her job. She’s reliable, considerate and honest." 
 
 The concerned mother said her family has relatives in Idaho, but they said Kelsey never showed up at their homes. Kelsey also never indicated any intention to visit those relatives, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported. 
 
 All of Berreth’s belongings, besides her purse, were still at her Woodland Park home after her disappearance. Her two cars remain in Colorado, puzzling investigators as they search for the 29-year-old. 
 
 When asked if Berreth’s fiancé is a suspect, De Young said Frazee is the “father of Kelsey’s daughter and we’re going to leave it at that.” 
 
 "This is a missing persons case,” he added. 
 
 Anyone with information on Berreth is urged to call the tip line at 719-687-9262.
– A Colorado woman is still missing after an intensive search of her fiance's property that involved 75 officers from different law enforcement agencies, authorities say. Kelsey Berreth, a 29-year-old flight instructor from Woodland Park, has not been seen since Thanksgiving and authorities have described her disappearance as suspicious, NBC News reports. Authorities say the scores of officials spent two days searching the 35-acre property of fiance Patrick Frazee, who is the father of Berreth's 1-year-old daughter. Also, police say an anonymous donor has offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to Berreth's whereabouts, per the AP. In regard to the search, the Woodland Park Police Department says a backhoe and dogs were used "to be as thorough as possible." Frazee has declined to meet face-to-face with investigators, though his attorney, Jeremy Loew, says he is cooperating with investigators and has provided his cellphone and DNA samples, the Colorado Springs Gazette reports. Berreth was reported missing by her mother on Dec. 2. Three days after she was last seen at a Safeway on Nov. 22, her cellphone pinged to around 800 miles away in Idaho. A text message sent to her employer from her phone said she wouldn't be at work the following week. Authorities haven't disclosed the contents of another message sent to Frazee.
