I don't know if this Carrie exists or not... but if she does, there is a chance it could be the Carrie I know. I have just picked myself up from the floor when it hit me like a lead balloon. There is a *Carrie* that lives several homes down from Nancy. She spells her name different, is older than Nancy, does not run, but her husband does and is frequently in triathlons and marathons. He is also posted on the athlinks site. He works for a large company in RTP. It could be Cisco, but I won't guess since I am not sure. They have children who could possibly be the babysitter. They have lived there as long as Nancy has. *Carrie* is a compassionate person who could've been a listening ear with the profession she is in. I have not spoken to her in awhile, and am sure she would not indulge in any information because she respects everyone's privacy. I will respect hers as well.

Interesting speculation about the finances, I'd never think to do what you think he might have been doing. I always wished I was more financially savoy!

I was wondering what anyone thinks of this...the friend Jessie or Jessica said Nancy was going to help her paint, then she was going to help Nancy get organized, or organize her house, something like that. If she meant clean the house, ok, but was she helping Nancy to organize a move of some kind? The wording of it sounded sort of unusual to me.

If so, I can finally see why the next day she called 911 as soon as she hung up talking with Brad. So far I've had a bit of a problem with her calling just as soon as she heard Nancy 'hadn't come back from jogging'. But if the two of them conspired to finally help Nancy get out of there, like very soon, he quite possibly became violent at this time.

What do you think, Could this be why he allegedly murdered her early Sat am, so she couldn't 'organize' and leave?

I've been having a hard time catching up here tonight.
I also wondered about that......my thoughts were that possibly Nancy was VERY close to Jessica & she confided in her as to the status of her marriage. Maybe since returning from being with her family...she had noticed a big change in Brad....or was she suddenly fearful of him.

Could Nancy of been planning to sneak clothes out for her & the girls to leave for good? Using Jessica & painting as an alibi? I think the friend knows a whole lot more to this saga & just keeping quiet. Could Nancy of gotten so mad at Brad she told him & he freaked out killing her after the party.

Anyone watch Greta tonight?
Not only did Nancy's parents request custody of the 2 girls, but they also sent a request to the judge to get the girls passports.
Nancy was sending the children to Canada to live with her sister.
Brad took the passports out of the car. :O

That confirmed for me that Brad killed his wife so she wouldn't get the kids, the house, nada.

eta I was just thinking....the murdering spouses I've followed lately seem to hire counsel from Tharrington-Rose. I was half expecting Brad to do the same. I wonder if Nancy had sought/retained this firm about separation/divorce. Her parents have retained this firm for their application. Perhaps Brad couldn't because of it.

did it say specifically the passports were in the car?

 

[philamena]

IIRC, yes.

 

[Blink34]

IIRC, yes.

In her car, sorry should have asked that-

Here's where Im going with that- If they were actually in her car, ie: her purse- this dude thought of EVERYTHING!! He will say "I never took their passports, she had them all the time..

Nancy Cooper's parents, Garry and Donna Rentz, claimed Brad Cooper was having an affair when she was murdered and had belittled her in front of their two young daughters, according to the family's custody complaint filed Wednesday and cited by the Raleigh News & Observer

 

[philamena]

The reporter also told Greta that Brad wouldn't give Nancy money and she had to borrow money from her parents several times to buy groceries.


From same link:

The complaint, characterized by investigators as a private matter, also alleges Brad Cooper withheld money from his wife, took the girls' passports to bar her from traveling to Canada, is emotionally unstable, threatened suicide in the last year and "poses a danger to the physical safety of the minor children."

I just joined this board - only because I have been following this particular case and my googling brought me to all of you.

I have learned so much from this site, and I have to say that I am impressed with the fact that all of the posters are so smart AND conscientious to boot.

Someone way back noticed that BC was a narcissist. I agree completely. I checked out his triathlete website and good God - it was all about him. I am a triathlete myself - I just do the sprint and olympic distances. I have three kids under 6, and there is NO WAY I could do more training for a longer distance....the ironman would require 5 times the training. I feel selfish as it is, when I am doing my training for my stuff......this guy must have been COMPLETELY selfish to be doing ironmans with 2 little ones, plus going thru marital turmoil.

Has there been any word on who this extramarital affair was with?

 

[Celt]

did it say specifically the passports were in the car?

Which makes me wonder...was the party (she went to on Friday) a "going away" party?? does anyone know?

The NC reporter who was on Greta said he took the girls passports from the car. The grandparents knew they were missing. I'd say Nancy had a loving supporting family who did everything they could to help the girls and their mommy.

:bedtime:......well after Swingtown!:crazy: Before I go, I'd just like to especially thank Tigerlily and Nancyfriend for their posts today and of course everyone else for their excellent links and thoughts. I've learned a lot today!

Justice for Nancy:rose:

 

[Blink34]

Welcome Oregon!! NO word other than speculation that it is a former friend/aquaintance of Nancy's and their circle seems to know her and about it for some time. Poor girl

Is there any possibility Nancy would have stayed at the home because of the old "possession is 9/10ths of the law" because of the potential divorce? I don't know much about that myself, but I think that might be one reason she was still staying there even though BC was being so horrible to her.

 

[philamena]

Please read this article it is chocked full information.

Absolutely- I am certain her attorney advised her not to leave the marital residence for sure. I cant be sure she told her attorney about the abuse though.
