The mother of Patrick Frazee posted a chilling message on Facebook just few hours after her son is believed to have murdered his fiancee Kelsey Berreth.
DailyMail.com has obtained the search warrants from the case, which reveal that a tip came in on December 12 in regard to a post shared by Sheila Frazee.
That post, which went up at 4:36pm on November 22, featured a photo of Glinda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz, and read: 'YAY the witch is dead.'
It would have been posted at the same time that Frazee arrived home at his mother's house for Thanksgiving dinner after he allegedly murdered Kelsey by covering her eyes and bashing her head with a baseball bat.
Police did not add any further detail other than noting the post was brought to their attention and from a woman with the same name as Frazee's mother.

Social media: Sheila Frazee shared a post on Facebook (above) shortly after Kelsey Berreth was murdered in her Colorado home that read: 'YAY the witch is dead'
Ma Frazee: It was not until December 21 that law enforcement announced publicly that Berreth was believed to be dead, and her remains have still not be found (Sheila arrives to court in February)
On trial: The post was shared on November 22 at 4:36pm, which is around that time that Frazee and daughter Kaylee were believed to have arrived to his mother's house (Kelsey and her mother Cheryl above with Kaylee)
This post could explain why police took Sheila into custody when they arrested her son back on December 21.
She was released soon after and no charges have been filed against her at this time.
There is also no mention that Sheila was involved or knew about a plot to murder Kelsey in the deposition and testimony provided by Krystal Jean Kenney, her son's mistress.
Krystal is the state's key witness in the case after revealing that she was asked to kill Berreth four times in the three months before her death.
On November 22, Frazee informed Krystal that she had 'a mess to clean up,' at which point she traveled overnight from Idaho to Colorado and scrubbed clean the crime scene.
Authorities believe that Frazee murdered Berreth while their daughter Kaylee played in the next room and then went home to have dinner with his mother.
He then went back to the scene where he allegedly put Berreth's body in a black tote container that he hid away in a pile of haystacks on his property.
The next day, after Krystral cleaned the scene of the crime and discarded the teeth she found in Berreth's home, she joined Frazee and watched him as he burned his ex's body.
Frazee beat his fiancee so hard with a baseball bat that he dislodged her teeth from her skull according to the Application and Affidavit for Arrest Warrant that was released to the public.
That filing was obtained by DailyMail.com, and confirms many of the events that were detailed during the preliminary hearing in the case.

Share 1k sharesCommander Chris Adams of the Woodland Park Police Department wrote in the affidavit that Krystal provided details of the crime after she was approached by agents from both the Federal and Colorado Bureau of Investigations.
'Frazee used a baseball bat to kill Berreth in the living room of [her] residence on November 22nd of November, 2018,' states the filing.
'Frazee had tied something around Berreth's eyes, and was having her guess the scents of different candles.
'While she was blindfolded and distracted, he hit her with the bat, causing her death.'
It goes on to state: 'Frazee was concerned he left a tooth behind in the residence, because when he hit her in the face with the bat, it presumably caused several of her teeth to be dislodged.'
Krystal told police that she later found the tooth and disposed of it while cleaning the crime scene.
In the two days between Frazee killing Berreth and burning her remains, he had been keeping the body in a black tote hidden away on the Nash Ranch according to Krystal.
Gregg Slater testified in court on Tuesday that Frazee killed Berreth on Thanksgiving and then called his mistress Krystal Lee Kenney, telling her that 'she had a mess to clean up'.
Krystal then drove 13 hours overnight from Idaho to Colorado, where she cleaned Berreth's blood-soaked house for four hours, it is claimed.
Frazee meanwhile left the murder scene to have Thanksgiving dinner with his family and then allegedly returned to collect Berreth's body and burn it on a pile of haystacks at a nearby farm said Slater.
Prior to that, Frazee had asked Krystal to kill Berreth four times, and she almost carried out those orders on two occasions, said Slater.
The first time was in September, when she befriended Berreth by pretending to be a neighbor and then gave the woman a drug-laced beverage from Starbucks, it is claimed.
Frazee then asked her to bludgeon Berreth with a bat and beat her to death with a pipe, which Krystal told agents she almost did, backing out when she arrived at Berreth's home and saw she was not alone, the court heard.
Krystal had been in Reno on the fourth occasion and could not book a ticket to fly in to Colorado, said Slater.
Slater said that the mistress did all this because she feared for her life and the lives of her two children.

Krystal did not carry out Frazee's final order either, according to Slater, opting to leave two patches of blood as evidence in the house for authorities to find when they searched for evidence.
She then went to eat at a nearby Sonic.
Frazee was also hit with three additional charges for the alleged murder of Berreth - one for tampering with evidence and two for a crime of violence - bringing his total count now to eight.
Prosecutors started off the day by showing video of Frazee leaving Berreth's house at 1:30pm with their daughter and then returning alone at 3:30pm on the day she went missing.
That video was taken from a neighbor's surveillance camera.
He would later tell authorities he and Berreth had split up, claiming she texted him on November 25 and said: 'Do you even love me?'
That text was sent by Krystal.
The head of the Woodland Park Police testified on Tuesday that when Frazee called Berreth's phone the day after she went missing, both cells pinged at the same exact spot.
That continued until November 25, at which point the cell began to move westward towards Idaho, at the same time Krystal took the cell to dispose of the evidence.
Slater said Krystal told agents she had purposely pinged towers along the way by turning on the cell from time-to-time.
She also said that she had disposed of Berreth's gun by giving it to a friend, and tried to avoid detection by driving a friend's car during the trip.
Frazee had wanted to give the appearance that Berreth had killed herself, according to Krystal.
Authorities got their big break when Krystal took authorities to the location that Frazee allegedly burned the evidence, where they found a burn mark and traces of accelerant.
Slater also said that Frazee and Krystal had been in a relationship since March of last year, confirming the story that DailyMail.com broke last month.
Krystal was not aware that Frazee had a fiancee or a daughter however until July.
Slater also testified that Krystal was told by Frazee that Berreth was a drug addict and abused their daughter.
Krystal broke down in tears as she confessed to destroying Berreth's cell phone after learning that the young mother, 29, had been murdered.
While agreeing to testify against Frazee at his murder trial, the former nurse, 32, told the judge that she learned about the homicide on November 22.
She will be sentenced after Frazee's trial for her own involvement after pleading guilty to one felony count of tampering with evidence.
Krystal did not provide any additional information as to how she destroyed the cell phone while in court.
'I learned that Patrick Frazee has committed a homicide on approximately Nov. 22, 2018 in Teller County. I knew that law enforcement would be investigating that crime,' said Krystal on Friday, reading from a prepared statement.
'I moved the victim’s cell phone with the intent to impair the phone’s availability in the investigation. I had no right or authority to move the victim’s cell phone. That occurred between Nov. 24 and Nov. 25, 2018. In Teller County.'
Berreth's body has still not been found.
