IF the only trips Brad Cooper made to the grocery store the morning hours of July 12, the day Nancy went missing, were the ones mentioned in his affidavits and I understand to LE, then why would he need to obtain copies of the grocery store surveillance cameras?
Could it be that this educated person who plans his every move, had FORGOTTEN about the cameras and actually gone to the store BEFORE daylight? Could his FIRST or ONLY visit to the store that morning been at just after 4:00 a.m. and the only purchase be laundry detergent? What would be the implication of this difference of the NOT suspects embellishment of the mornings movements?
Just wonderin'

i'm figuring they want what's on the cameras so they can plan their defense. lawyers need to know EXACTLY what the facts are that can be confirmed through cameras, receips, etc.
it is curious, though, that somebody--no matter how stressed they are---wouldn't know that all of the grocery stores in this area have surveillance cameras. when you walk into this particular HT, you see yourself walking in on the cameras & the image of yourself is front & center.
i used to go there a lot late at night, & only the entrance on the Kildare Farm side was open after a certain hour. Also, back then (over 3 years ago), there was a security guard present in the middle of the night. When I asked about it, a HT employee told me it was just a security measure for their employees & customers who might want to be escorted out to their car.
apparently there isn't a security person anymore, though, or somebody (mom etc) would have mentioned it.
but, it's puzzling that--assuming this early am HT trip is true--BC wouldn't have grabbed something in addition to detergent w bleach so that he would have a cover (have to have diapers, etc). And the cameras & signs about the cameras are everywhere---so if BC did the 4 or so a.m. trip, he wasn't thinking & went back to cover his tracks.
When LE found Nancy's body, they declared she had been murdered. So there will be info in the autopsy that will be extremely helpful to BC's attorneys in terms of how Nancy died.
puzzling, though, that a smart person--no matter how stressed---wouldn't throw in a potentially necessary item like diapers or milk, etc, if he was buying detergent w bleach "to cover his tracks".
