James Gibson lived just a half-mile up the road from Edward Young, but said he never knew his cousin was married.
"He was never with a woman that we saw," said James' wife, Jean.
Authorities have been searching of late for Young's wife, Agnes - who has some say has been missing for at least 10 years.
But that investigation will continue without Edward Young, 60, who apparently took his own life Friday.
When state police arrived at Young's residence at 10 Abbott Drive in Long Branch they hoped to talk to him and search for his wife.
Instead, they they found him lying dead on the floor near the door of his trailer - a victim of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Young was pronounced dead at the scene. Washington County Coroner S. Timothy Warco ruled the death a suicide.
Young's death is the latest bizarre twist in the search for Agnes Young.
On May 8, Leroy Grafton, a special agent of the U.S. Office of the Inspector General, contacted state police at the Belle Vernon barracks, according to a state police reported released late Friday.
Grafton learned that that Agnes Young had not been seen by anyone for at least 10 years. However, her Social Security checks had been cashed on a monthly basis from 1991 to September 2001.
Grafton spoke with the woman's relatives and friends, but he could not find anyone who had seen her in a decade.
Suspicion arose when Edward Young filed to receive for Social Security benefits Sept. 21.
Edward Young told a Social Security employee his wife went sightseeing in New York City with a friend in September and "maybe she also went to the World Trade Centers and was lost in the disaster," the affidavit states.
Edward Young never filed a missing person report.
Young told Grafton he did not know the names of his wife's friends or a description of the vehicle they supposedly took to New York, police said.
Social Security officials terminated Agnes Young's benefits and Grafton attempted to contact her.
Edward Young began to receive Social Security benefits in January 2002, police said.
He told Grafton that his wife "would be driven to town by unknown persons to cash her (Social Security) checks," and that he did not cash his wife's checks," the affidavit states.
Edward Young would not let Grafton enter his residence during an interview, the affidavit stated.
Mary Santo, Agnes Young's sister, told Grafton, "Edward had told her that Agnes was moved to a mental institution in upstate New York" and that she had not seen her sister in 10 years, the affidavit stated.
Steve Svarek, Agnes Young's brother, said he last saw his sister in 1985.
Svarek said Edward Young told him Agnes Young was unavailable when he attempted to visit her at the trailer on Abbott Drive.
Steve Svarek's wife, Anna, said she was told Agnes Young was transferred to New York after "the mental institution in Pittsburgh burned down," the affidavit stated.
Anna Svarek said Edward Young's sister, Helen, provided that information.
Police said they could not find records of recent residence for Agnes Young in mental institutions in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
However, mental health records indicated Agnes Young attempted suicide three times, police said.
Her name also was absent from records at the Bureau of Vital Statistics in New Castle, police said.
Elizabeth Ray, a bank teller at National City Bank in Speers, said she repeatedly saw Edward at the bank with his aunt, Viola Lecat, but never with Agnes Young.
Because Edward Young would not cooperate with Grafton, state police obtained a warrant from District Justice Larry Hopkins of Charleroi Thursday to search for the body of Agnes Young, 59, or documents related to her whereabouts.
The warrant targeted the Edward Young residence and adjacent ground owned by Lecat.
Nothing was uncovered in the search, state police reported.
State troopers returned to Young's residence 9:30 a.m. Friday to interview him about his missing wife and to conduct a second search. That's when state police found him dead.
Young's death surprised family members.
"I was a little shocked," James Gibson said of his reaction Edward Young's death.
"He was a nice man. He was always nice to me."
Gibson said he knew Agnes Young's nephews, but never knew the she and his cousin were married.
Gibson said he saw Edward Young from time to time, but never with Agnes Young.
"I hope they find out what happened," James Gibson said.
An unidentified woman met reporters outside the Young and Lecat residences Friday.
"Get off the property," she said. "We're not going to answer any questions."

Wow. I’m curious now if that is the norm. I didn’t think it was anywhere near that much. Not for an exhumation. Now, if that figure includes testing and all the other things involved, that seems a little more reasonable. But I have no idea TBH so I’m wondering the same now that you mention it!
