😮Isn't it upsetting That more and more all these "Crime Stories" Which are kind of the same + outcome. With All these young women plus men..are being "killed" by the supposedly "loved ones "or someone that they knew... Maybe even trusted?!? That So Scary 😳😨😳 and even More its really really sad.. that this is how they like to project what life really matters to them.. That yes somebody else's profit now that you've been killed off and like I say and trademark and copyright other people's miseries are other people's Profit$..😮 Ok Peace 🙏🕊️🙏 11.21.2023 On a TV..crime show😮.

[@kellishostall2583]

This happened in the town where I grew up. When Krystal Kenney came up for parole I was so angry and started an online petition to stop her release. It went viral and we presented it to Dan May and the courts. We were successful in keeping her in prison for 6 more months. Kelsey's Mother is an angel on earth and I think of them often. Rest easy Kelsey..your family is doing good.

[@sammas2959]

Love your enthusiasm but can't bring the dead back. Krystal made a huge mistake, and we're not exempt either. She served her sentence. The best thing to do is forgiveness. Forgiving her is good for the whole town folks that are affect by it.

[@kimchapman4812]

Krystal K is more involved than she admits. I think she was there when he killed Kelsey. Wouldn't surprise me if she took part in the killing!! Krystals story is just a little bit to detailed for her to claim what she did!! Justice for Kelsey would have been locking Krystal up for life not giving her the easy way out!!

[@kellishostall2583]

​@sammas2959 I don't honestly know what to say to that. Forgiveness is not mine, it's Kelsey's families place. They are leaning on their religion and doing ok. The people in Woodland Park who witnessed the whole event are deeply, permanently damaged..We can't always just turn our cheek, nothing would ever change and I think even you would agree that things need to change in our country and our world.

She's the rough and tough sort of cookie and wouldn't stand for it. He'd have one hell of a fight on his hands with her, which is probably the reason she was able to become an ex without being a dead ex. Why she agreed to do this for him is a head scratcher.

I think it's designed to suggest that the police trust them to help with the case, to give up the goods completely. In this case, it apparently worked and Patrick's secret has been revealed. Police don't like making Faustian deals either, but sometimes it's the only way to rap up a case.

The ultimate statistic is that 10 out of every 10 people will die-you have an appointment to keep with death that you cannot cancel; where will you go after death; heaven or hell? innocent or guilty? what would it benefit a person if they gain a brand new car, a new relationship, a new phone, more money, a new house; and new clothes .....but in the end they ended up losing their own eternal soul? What do you think? Are you good enough to enter heaven? How many lies have you told before? Ever stolen? Ever lusted? Ever hated anyone? We have broken God's laws but Jesus has paid our fine!

14 Months for Covering up a Crime? She's just as guilty as Him and should have served at least 20 years !

[@danielbrown1724]

This is one of those cases like the Chris Watts case. No matter how many times I see footage, I can’t take my eyes and ears away from it The shear brutality of Kelsey’s last hour alive still rocks me to the core every time. Both cases randomly pop into my head throughout the day, even if it’s been months since I’ve watched any true crime documentaries. RIP beautiful lady 💜💜💜

[@charlotted6247]

It hurts all over again, each time I watch you feel her family's pain. People need to be very aware that horrible people do exist.

[@danielbrown1724]

@@charlotted6247 very true, however I don’t think people discard that true evil exists, I just think most people don’t like to admit to the bad side of humanity. That’s why I personally have to take breaks from true crime stuff, it gets so depressing. Only consolation is knowing in my heart that, although her death was beyond brutal and painful, that her spirit is at peace in a better realm of consciousness.

[@jasoncombs3232]

The Chris Watts case is far more heinous.

[@TheSybil47]

I know what you mean. I also give myself a break now, and then, but I always return, because it helps me to see that I'm not alone suffering, and that I will suffer with others in return, because some people have to carry burdens, and suffer fates that can really shake you to the core. Those families always stays in my heart, and thoughts, like you say, randomly pop up into my head throughout the day. Yeah, we must help each other carry our crosses.

Okay so why did they need to make a deal with her at all? They have the cell phones traveling together with her disappeared and sending text messages to him. That is dead to rights to me.

[@marygoff3332]

Agreed. I think it's because they burned the body and literally nothing was left. It's a shame - this accomplice should have spent 15-20 years in prison.

They are equally wrong. Testimony or not she is just as much of a responsible party if not more. It would of all been prevented and she would be alive if she had reported the craziness this man requested of her. SHAME ON HER!!

Attorneys can get a bad wrap sometimes, so when I see these prosecutors get chocked up and/or tearful because they have become so emotionally invested in the case and fighting for justice for the victim, it leaves me with a good feeling that sometimes the justice system, although broken a lot of the time, does still work sometimes.
