Prosecutors on Monday revealed that there are two theories regarding how missing Colorado mom Kelsey Berreth was murdered around Thanksgiving, including that she may have been killed as a result of a robbery.
This was all revealed as her fiance Patrick Frazee, who was arraigned on five counts relating to her murder.
He is charged with two counts of first-degree murder under the separate theories and three counts of solicitation to commit first-degree murder.
This means that Frazee may have asked an individual to kill his fiancee on three separate occasions.

New details: Prosecutors said on Monday that there are two theories regarding the death of Kelsey Berreth, the Colorado mom who went missing around Thanksgiving (Kelsey with her mother and daughter Kaylee)
Defendant: This was revealed in court, where her fiance Patrick Frazee was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of solicitation to commit murder (Frazee above)
Silence: The prosecution also managed to successfully argue for the arrest warrant in the case to remain sealed, but Frazee will get to see it Monday afternoon
There was little else revealed about the case however, with prosecutors stating that it is important to keep much of the information they have obtained under wraps for the sake of the ongoing investigation.
Frazee said nothing during the proceedings and will return to his cell at the Teller County Jail where he is being held without bond.
ABC News captured Frazee making his way out of the courtroom on Monday in shackles.
The prosecution also revealed that the arrest warrant in the case must remain sealed, noting that publication of the details could 'seriously jeopardize the physical safety of potential witnesses in this investigation.'
Frazee and his lawyers will see that warrant for the first time on Monday afternoon, and may after that decide to enter a plea in the case.
Berreth's family was not in the courtroom on Monday, but Frazee's mother was seated in the front row as she is now fighting for custody of her son's daughter.
A judge awarded custody of Kaylee to the maternal grandparents on a temporary basis.
Court records filed after a hearing last week also revealed that a custody battle could be brewing between the families.
'Paternal grandmother file a motion to intervene. The parties agreed to reserve for later hearing paternal grandmother’s motion to intervene and placement request,' read a summary of the hearing.
'The court continued the temporary custody of the minor child with maternal grandparents.'
Court documents show that Frazee will be fighting the charge of first degree murder as he has asked that all evidence in the case be turned over to his legal team and filed a motion asking to limit pretrial publicity.
Police have yet to find the body or any remains of Berreth.
Sheila Frazee, the mother of the suspect, was also briefly detained by authorities but not placed under arrest at the time of her son's arrest.
The divorced mother-of-four, who is a registered nurse, lives with her youngest son at the ranch, which she outright owns according to public records.
She also owns two additional properties in the area.
Her son meanwhile tends to the ranch and also breeds dogs.
This now the second high-profile case to emerge from Colorado involving the murder of a partner in just the past six months.
In August, Chris Watts killed his wife, unborn son and two young daughters just 150 miles north in Weld County.
Mommy dearest: Sheila Frazee, the mother of the accused murderer, was also led off in handcuffs (right) when her son was arrested to be detained
Last image: She was last seen at a supermarket on Thanksgiving with her daughter Kaylee, 1, (above) but Frazee previously told authorities he saw his fiancee later that day
It was also revealed early on in the investigation that authorities believed Frazee was the last person to see Berreth before she disappeared on Thanksgiving.
She was last seen on surveillance video entering a grocery store on Thanksgiving Day with her daughter.
Frazee later told police that the couple met later that afternoon so that he could pick up the couple's daughter.
The two did not live together despite being engaged, a fact that many on social media suggested was a bad omen after learning of the disappearance.
It was Berreth however who had been hesitant to move in with her fiance because he still lived with his mother.
She instead decided to get her own home after moving to Colorado from Washington to be with Frazee.
In May, Berreth paid $184,900 for a two-bedroom home in Woodland Hills, where she lived with her daughter.
A family member claimed soon after Berreth went missing that she had split with Frazee on the day she was last seen, but that has never been confirmed by investigators.
There were a number of details that had puzzled the public in the wake of Berreth's disappearance, including the fact that she had just baked fresh cinnamon buns before she went missing.
Frazee also failed to report her missing, despite have their daughter Kaylee that entire time.

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.
