De Young publicly asked Frazee to sit down with investigators and talk to them. Frazee's lawyer, Jeremy Loew earlier told the Denver Post that Frazee had spoken with investigators and shared his phone and a DNA swab.
Investigators seized Frazee's red pickup truck during the raid on his ranch property.
When reporters asked in Frazee was considered a suspect in the case, De Young said police were "considering every possibility" and were "not willing to jump to conclusions."
On Tuesday, police released surveillance footage of the missing mother and her infant from a grocery store on Thanksgiving Day. The video was from a Woodland Park Safeway, shot on Nov. 22.
After she disappeared, text messages from her phone were received at her employer, Doss Aviation, and Frazee.
Berreth was reported missing by her mother, ten days after she was last seen.
