Nancy Cooper, 34, of Cary, N.C. #26

[ncmomof2boys]

Does anyboy remember when we heard that one of the neighbors said that Bella had seen her mother (NC) that morning. Well... BC (in the depo) said that Bella didn't get up until 7:30 am or so and he indicated it was after Nancy left for her jog. :waitasec:

 

[SleuthyGal]

It was Diana Duncan on her blog that said something about Brad and Nancy's eldest daughter having seen her that morning before she left on her run (remember we went round 'n round on that fact and if we thought Diana heard it directly from Bella or Brad had been the one to tell her).

ETA: GREAT CATCH NCMOMof2BOYS!! :woohoo:

One discrepancy-I think BC said he cleaned the garage and made room for NC's car while NC was on the trip with her family. But the pest control guy said he was in their garage on Tues., the 8th, and it was just as it had always been-cluttered with no room for a car.

He did say that. June 28th he cleaned the garage so that Nancy could get HER car into the garage so that the car wouldn't be so hot in the summer months. It made it sound to me, as if there was no room for either vehicle untill he cleaned it for her vehicle. That has me puzzled because of the pest control guy's affy.

Brad's mom is due to come back to Cary around 10/10 or so and has offered to stay w/Brad up to a year.

And he said he wouldn't mind. I'd choke my mom inside of a year LOL

My mother and her sister stayed with me for 16 of the longest days of my life last year...so yeah...I feel your pain. A YEAR of that would be worse than :behindbar IMHO. LOL.

I'd go nuts if my mom stayed with me for up to a year but how lucky for him - now he still won't have to cook or clean.

I wonder if his parents are financially propping him up right now as well.

Uhhhhhhh.... he choked his wife instead....

I've wondered the same thing but it sounds to me as if he's still getting his salary from Cisco - bonus included and he's got credit cards as well. I can't recall which video it is but he does speak about his finances.

Maybe he knows he can't win the custody situation but feels compelled to fight for his daughters. It would be hard to forgive yourself for not fighting for your daughters.

I believe his mother coming back is so it will look good for him at the hearing to have some support to help him take care of the girls should he be granted custody or even more visitation rights. It would be hard to not fight for your own children. I just can't get past the fact that he killed their mother and has caused them all of this grief and pain they are now in.

 

[SleuthyGal]

I certainly don't fault him for fighting for his kids at all. I do think he wants them and loves them very much. However, this custody situation is and will continue to be a HUGE problem for him in the murder investigation side because he is, in essence, having to testify, when in a normal (non-custody) situation he would likely not be testifying at all, and certainly not in advance of any criminal trial. So this is a big gamble.

 

[jmflu]

Wow, so Nancy asked him out twice, he said no, and the third time he says yes, and "spends the night at her residence." She hooked him, huh!

And I can't imagine the judge subjecting them to returning to their home, but their mother's not there. Instead there is a grandmother that they hardly know who would function temporarily as their mother, instead of NC's sister and her husband. Makes me very angry to imagine subjecting little girls to all these drastic changes. I just can't see a judge doing that

I hope you're right and their doctor's affy says it all......I just hope the judge reads it carefully.

Maybe he's punishing himself by having to testify to the world about all his failures- to -date: unable to manage household finances well, commiting adultery, unable to keep his wife from wanting to leave him.

And it really is "to the world," isn't it.

Definitely! If I didn't think he probably murdered her, I could feel a little sympathy for him on some of the questions. Like re friends-there are good people who don't have close friends, who are insecure socially, very sensitive, easily hurt, tend to see people as somewhat dangerous because of those feelings.

OTOH, I can't abide liars, so if that's what he is, he gets no sympathy!

I know what you mean. These videos put a reality to everything we didn't have before.
