The fiancé of a missing Colorado mother is finally speaking out to clear any suspicions on his reserved behavior over her disappearance.
Kelsey Berreth, 29, vanished on November 22 and was last recorded on surveillance cameras in a grocery store in Woodland Park, Colorado with her baby girl.
After remaining mum in front of reporters and failing to appear at a police news conference earlier this week, her fiancé Patrick Frazee has faced intense public scrutiny.
On Thursday he released a statement via his attorney saying he's actively cooperating with authorities.
A candlelit vigil was held for her in Woodland Park, Colorado, on Thursday nearly three weeks after she inexplicably vanished, but Frazee was noticeably not there.

His attorney Jeremy Loew also explained that Frazee failed to appear at a news conference on Monday because he was told about the meeting just an hour prior to its start
'Mr. Frazee’s cooperation includes interviews with law enforcement, voluntarily releasing his phone to be searched by law enforcement, buccal swabs, and photographs,' his attorney Jeremy Loew said in a statement to People.
Loew also cleared the air on why Frazee failed to appear at a police press conference on Monday, even though he was invited.
'Much has been said over the news and social media about Mr. Frazee's absence at the local news conference,' he said.
He explained Frazee was 'first notified of the press conference approximately an hour prior to its commencement' and 'had he been given more advance notice, he would have participated.'
Frazee's lawyer said he would not be giving any interviews.
On Thursday the Woodland Park, Colorado community held a candlelit vigil for missing mother Kelsey Berreth who was last seen on Thanksgiving day grocery shopping with her baby

'Mr. Frazee hopes and prays for Ms. Berreth’s return. Mr. Frazee will continue to cooperate with law enforcement and continue to parent the child he shares with Ms. Berreth,' Loew said.
Frazee and Berreth, a flight instructor, are engaged but do not live together. They share a one-year-old daughter together.
The child is in the custody of the father Frazee.
Berreth was last seen and heard from on Thanksgiving weekend.
She was seen on the video at the local grocery store then spoke twice with her mom that same day.
'We talked just Thanksgiving morning. No big Thanksgiving meal at her home or anything like that,' her mother Cheryl recalled.
She told CBS News that her daughter sounded normal and 'happy'.
Her mother and police held a press conference on Monday to appeal for information about the mother-of-one's disappearance. Frazee was not present at the conference and has since faced public scrutiny for not speaking publicly about his missing fiance
Berreth, mother to a one-year-old child, is described as 5ft3in tall and weighing 110 pounds
She dropped off her baby girl at Frazee's house - that was the last time anyone saw her.
She sent a text to her employer on November 25 saying she would not be at work the next week. She also sent a text to Frazee, but it's not clear what that text said.
That same day her phone last pinged near Gooding, Idaho - about 700miles from where she was last seen.
Cheryl's mother lives in Idaho.
On December 2 around 12.30pm, Berreth's mother Cheryl reported her missing.
Frazee hasn't commented on why he didn't report his fiancee, the mother of his child, going missing earlier.
Woodland Park Police Chief Miles De Young has declared her disappearance a missing person case and said no suspects have been identified and he has 'no reason to believe [Frazee] is a suspect, while speaking with Today.
Police say they plan to announce an award for information on her disappearance on Friday.
A candlelit vigil for Berreth was held Thursday evening in Memorial Park, organized by two women she never met.
'It’s just devastating being so close to home,' Amber Overton, who is organizing the vigil along with Vanessa Nichols, said to KDVR.
'We just feel like its really important that they know she is loved. I just really think its really important to keep the awareness going,' Nichols said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
