The grief won't go away
Ruth Sheehan, Staff Writer
I had barely identified myself on the phone when Linda Fisher began to sob.
She knew why I was calling before I said another word.
Fisher of Sayville, N.Y., is the mother of Michelle Young, who -- like Nancy Cooper of Cary -- was a young vivacious mother, killed in her prime.
Young, 29, was found beaten to death in her home in Raleigh's Enchanted Oaks subdivision on Nov. 3, 2006. She was five months pregnant.
I know I'm not the only person who has wondered about Young's family as we've watched Cooper's loved ones mourn in recent weeks.
As it turns out, Fisher was in Raleigh, visiting her younger daughter Meredith in mid-July when Cooper's body was discovered at a construction site near her Lochmere home.
...........................snip.........................
Fisher met with Wake County investigators during her July visit.
She repeated what the investigators say: "They're working on the case, and they're making progress."
Beyond that, she is sworn to silence. "There's so much I can't talk about, but there's so much I want to say."

Michelle Young probe focuses on husband
............snip.....................
Investigators found two footprints in blood on a pillow in the Youngs' bedroom. One of the impressions was similar to the design of a pair of Hush Puppies that Young owned, according to the affidavit. The other footprint was from an athletic shoe. The affidavit noted that Young bought Hush Puppies and two pairs of athletic shoes in July 2005 from a store in Cary.
They also found a blood splatter that might have been a print on the bedroom wall near Young's body. The State Bureau of Investigation found that DNA from the spot matched Jason Young's DNA, according to the affidavit.
The night before Michelle Young's body was found, Jason Young checked into a Hampton Inn in Hillsville, Va., about 170 miles from Raleigh, according to the affidavit. A hotel security camera captured an image of Young, wearing a dark pullover, heading to a a hotel exit about midnight.
The exit door had a rock in the door jam that kept the door from locking automatically and allowed people to enter without using a keycard, according to the affidavit. Young's keycard was not used to re-enter the hotel.
Investigators suspect that Young's vehicle was at his home in Enchanted Oaks between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. the next morning, when a newspaper delivery person saw a light-colored SUV at the Young residence. The SUV, which was similar to Jason Young's white Ford Explorer, was "parked in such a manner that it appeared to have been unloading or loading something," the investigator said in the affidavit.
In the affidavit, the investigator also noted that Young was not wearing the dark pullover when he arrived at his mother's home in Brevard in the late afternoon of Nov. 3. Instead, he was wearing a white shirt and tie.

A mother waits, prays for justice
Michelle Young was killed in her home
RALEIGH - After nearly two years, Linda Fisher still prays daily that the person responsible for the death of her daughter, Michelle Young, will be brought to justice.
Young, 29, was found dead in the home she shared with her husband, Jason Young, in the Enchanted Oaks subdivision south of Raleigh. As with the Nancy Cooper case this summer, investigators have focused on Young's husband but have not identified him as a suspect.
The pregnant young mother was lying on her bed in a pool of blood on Nov. 3, 2006. Bloody footprints from their 2-year-old daughter, Cassidy, who was unharmed, trailed across the carpet.
A search warrant unsealed last month indicated Wake County deputies found DNA and bloody footprints that linked Jason Young to the crime scene. Sheriff's deputies have been investigating whether he checked into a Virginia hotel and then drove back to Raleigh that night.

Ask Anything: 10 questions with WRAL Crime Reporter Amanda Lamb
Posted: Sep. 2, 2008
.................snip..................
[4]
Amanda, I read your book "Deadly Dose" and thought it was well written. Do you plan to write a book about the Michelle Young case after the trial? Carol Padgett, Creedmoor
I am currently in the process of deciding the topic of my next book. There are clearly a lot of interesting local cases to choose from. I keep good notes on all of the cases I cover. But I did learn from my "Deadly Dose" publisher that crimes must be solved before you can write a book about them. This is for two reasons one, legal liability, two, the reader needs some satisfaction, some closure to the story.

Michelle Young's slaying remains unsolved
CARY - Those who loved Michelle Young gathered Sunday around the two granite hearts that mark her grave -- a large one inscribed for the young mother who died two years ago today, a small one tucked inside and marked "Rylan" for the son she was carrying.
.....................snip.......................
The somber anniversary comes just days after the arrest of Brad Cooper on murder charges in the slaying of his wife, Nancy -- the case of another suburban couple with young children and a seemingly bright future shattered by sudden violence.
Cooper was found dead in an empty cul-de-sac near her Cary home July 14. Attention quickly focused on Brad Cooper, who was arrested Oct. 27.
Carol Nelson, a friend and co-worker of Young's at Progress Energy, said she was heartened by the arrest in the Cooper case. Nelson has developed a keen sense in the past two years of how an unsolved murder can weigh on a victim's loved ones.
But she is frustrated that while Brad Cooper faces murder charges, Michelle Young's case remains unsolved.
...............snip...........................
Sheriff Donnie Harrison said there are no new suspects in the case, but he hopes to make an arrest "in the near future."
"We talk about this case nearly every day," Harrison said in an interview last week. "It's something that's still fresh."

Wake sheriff weighs in on Jason Young lawsuit
Raleigh, N.C. Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison says he is not surprised by a wrongful death lawsuit filed against the husband of a slain Wake County mother found dead inside her home two years ago this week.
"It's something I felt was coming," Harrison said Wednesday. "And my reaction is I think it was due and the right thing to do."
Michelle Young's mother, Linda Fisher, filed the lawsuit last Wednesday against her son-in-law, Jason Young, saying "he brutally murdered" her daughter.

Police: Young uncooperative, having an affair
RALEIGH - Detectives investigating the death of Michelle Young say her husbands computer was used to search the Internet for information on head trauma knockout before his wife died.
A search warrant made public Thursday gives the most comprehensive picture to date of investigators findings in the case, and comes days after Michelle Youngs mother asked a civil court judge to declare that Jason Young was responsible for the slaying

Young's computer used to research 'knockout'
...................snip........................
Among investigators' statements in the 15-page document made public Thursday:
* Jason Young hung up on a Wake County sheriff's detective who called him the day Michelle Young's body was found. Young refused to come to the house and "did not inquire as to his daughter's wellbeing or the nature and/or cause of his wife's death."
* Jason Young and the woman with whom he was having an affair exchanged about 980 phone calls and text messages between Oct. 4 and Nov. 3, 2006.
* Young's computer was used to search the Internet on topics including "anatomy of a knockout," "head trauma knockout," and "divorce" before his wife was found dead.
* In e-mail, Young wrote to his sister about the investigation and his attorney: "His ONLY concern is for me and that hopefully there will NEVER be an arrest."
