Nancy Cooper, 34, of Cary, N.C. #8

Could be guilt, agreed.

Could also be that he decided one part of the family had to not be present in order to allow the other to grieve without having to cope with the others' presence...given the things that have unfolded and been said over the last few days.

It could be. Lets see what happens at the funeral. Will his parents at least attend?

Advise others.

As much as I pride myself on my "ism's" gotta say:
"creepy is as creepy does.."
sorry Forrest..

There has been no additional info given on what Nancy was found wearing ... only that she was "partially clothed" and that was just a comment slipped into some other statement by (I forget who) either the police dept or some other witness to the case.

The "partially clothed" came from a WRAL report. It wasn't an attributed quote and was simply the way that the reporter wrote the piece. (Something like, "days after her partially clothed body was discovered") We don't know if it has any basis and I believe the reporter's stand-up and the web text actually used two similar, but different phrases. (I'm thinking that the other one used "wearing very little clothing", but I can't be sure.)

Note: I was going to edit this comment earlier, so that I could expand upon the points, but there was some type of issue with the forum and since it's still the most recent post, I simply copied my edited response to this space.

Ahhhh thanks for clarifying that. I knew I had read it, I just couldn't remember where.

Good morning everyone!! I had not heard that she was partially clothed before.

TY and Good Morning to you!
Need help on this, still bugging me, and sorry to sound like a broken record, but, I dont think anyone has ever replied to this question-

Does it bother anyone that the kids passports were in NC car?? The affidavit says BC confiscated them, and then in plain site, he retrieves them from her car- I want to know if lE saw them when they first searched the car, if not, he put them back, but when??

It was in an article "all of a sudden", I do not believe LE has corroberated that as of yet..

Can anyone tell me where it came up or was posted that NC spoke to Jessica Adam at 10:30pm at the party Fri?

It is an interesting thought! When did he retrieve them from the car FOR SURE? Is there a picture out there of him doing that?n I am kind-of confused on this one

SS...I thought I posted on this today, but I also lost a long post and did not resubmit it.
If the party was at Diana Duncan's home which I thought it was, Diana lives across the street. The homes face each other. Approx. 100' from front door to front door. No reason to drive or carry her purse.

Very interesting. We know she had her phone at the party and it's been reported that her phone was in her purse in the car. I've seen other posters bring up the fact of not leaving the phone in the car even if it was her habit to leave her purse there. Maybe she has a car charger for the phone? Most people charge their phones daily as a matter of habit.

It was reported (sorry, no link), there is no pic that I am aware of, and I believe NC Mom was quoted on it.

This is my issue- if they WERE in her car (im guessing not, only because we know it was searched and Im assuming they took her purse then, etc,)
then I am REALLY concerned this was premeditated/planned as we know she did not drive it that evening.

If they were not, he put them in there after the fact, and it will be presented at the hearing on 7/25 that she had them all along and could have left at any time. I thought all along this was an argument/accidental homicide, now I am not so sure.

I think Brad put the kids passports back her car afterward to make it look
like their marital problems were not that bad. I remember when she was still missing he kept saying that they had a few issues but nothing that bad.

One of the things I've specifically learned from following these cases for so long is when it's a husband/wife in the home and vehicles, it's very hard for LE to get incriminating forensic evidence. Anyone here that has followed the Michelle Young case, Laci Peterson etc. knows this. MY was a very messy murder and even though there were many things that pointed to her husband that case remains open.

Too many cases to site the similarities without going off topic so I'll just comment on some of the questions and ideas I've seen. When LE are questioning neighbors, stopping cars, going to businesses for videos doesn't mean they don't have lots of evidence already. Witnesses and video evidence can be very useful at trial especially if they end up with no incriminating dna. As long as the results take to get anyway they are old time gumshoeing it or just gathering as much as they can get to take to the prosecutor.

Yes, agreed, but I think he put them in her car after receiving the Custody order, so imo, if he is not in jail on 7/25, he intends to fight for them.

Some 'items' were found in the park but didn't lead LE to her.

We have some savory characters who loaf around our parks on the weekends.
Makes me wonder if she ran into a drug deal....

ETA-Fox news this morning (Monday) reported that Nancy's ID, liscense and keys were at home.
She was also suppose to meet friends later that morning after her run.
I too saw the update on Fox News this morning. I never leave home without my cellphone & ID but everyone's different. I wonder if she had had the phone with her if it would've helped ~ and I'm sure hoping that this time the husband isn't the perpetrator.

This is the origin for the info on the purse and phone.

Blink, there were actually 2 posters that watched that Fox program and I tried to copy the quote box and reply but only one came up.

Purely speculation on my part but, after she was murdered, was he possibly contemplating heading to Canada with the children himself to avoid being arrested? A vehicle just seems like an odd place to keep passports........I could understand it if they lived on the US/Canadian border.
