48 HOURS: “Justice for Kelsey Berreth” was Saturday’s #1 non-sports primetime broadcast with viewers, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for Saturday, Nov. 23. 48 HOURS delivered 3.16 million viewers.

The broadcast featured correspondent Nikki Battiste and 48 HOURS’ investigation into the disappearance of Kelsey Berreth on Thanksgiving Day 2018 and the murder case against her fiancé, Patrick Frazee. The broadcast included video obtained by 48 HOURS of Frazee’s secret girlfriend, Krystal Lee, walking prosecutors through the crime scene at Berreth’s house. She detailed for police how she says she cleaned up the crime scene after Frazee killed Berreth and what she says he did with her body and evidence afterward.

Battiste and 48 HOURS took viewers inside the investigation and pieced together the twisted love triangle that prosecutors say led to the death of the 29-year-old mother. It’s a story that gripped the country when word surfaced that the engaged mother of a young daughter vanished and again last week as Frazee’s trial concluded. It’s a case that exposed a secret relationship, problems at home simmering beneath the surface and wild stories that would lead to a huge break in the case. Berreth’s body has never been found.

Frazee was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison, plus 156 years. In exchange for her testimony, Lee faces a maximum of up to three years in prison for evidence tampering.
