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

[SeriouslySearching]

This is what I think also. If she had to leave quickly she wanted those passports with her! It was clear he was being abusive, according to what her parents have stated in the custody papers. Isn't that "abusive woman training 101" Always be prepared to leave quickly if necessary?

Yes, yes..it is. Have a plan in place and prepare to leave at a moment's notice. I think the passports clued him into her having a plan.

I am confused tho. WHEN did he take the passports out of the car? While LE was watching or when?!

I missed it! It is possible. Bobby Cutts Jr. enlisted the help of his old high school buddy, Myesha, just to ride with him and we see how that turned out.

It's possible someone else was involved in this murder too, but that makes me wonder if LE has checked Brad's phone records to see who he might have called that night or on Saturday morning? IIRC, that's how everything fell apart for Myeisha and Bobby Cutts.

Star, I certainly don't know this for a fact but, I would think as resident aliens (sounds weird....lol) they would only be required to have their "green cards" with them at all times......not a passport.

This is an true fact. All you need is your green card.

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.

I agree with this.

I thought NC's parents stated in the custody application that BC had hidden/taken the children's passports though so how could NC have hidden them in the car? Wasn't BC ordered to turn over the passports to her parents? Which would mean he was the one in possession of them.....not NC.

And on a side note........If I was trying to hide something from hubby I wouldn't put it in a car.......not enough hiding places there. I would place it somewhere in my house where I could get to it quickly if need be.

Yes I read that in the custody application. It stated that Brad had hidden the passports from Nancy so she could not take the children to Canada. It also stated he wouldn't give her grocery money for the kids so her family had to send it to her.

The original article which was the source of this story says the following;

In the complaint, Rentz, ... and Lister say that a few months ago Bradley Cooper had removed the children's passports from Nancy Cooper's vehicle, essentially prohibiting her from moving to Canada with the children.

I haven't spoken-up about this part, thus far because I considered it more of a sideshow and a natural function of people catching-up, but clearly the unfounded speculation about the passports is starting to take a life of its own and it needs a correction.

Right. But do we have any proof that he put them back in the vehicle? I keep hearing this but have seen no link to back it up with. Thanks for this one.

I heard her say it on the phone during an interview on Fox so it came straight from her mouth (no way to reference it). She also said she called LE at approximately 1:00pm, too...so that is what I have been using on her timeline. However, the other reports state it was later.

I heard her interviewed, too, by phone. And, even though she said 1:00, the news channels are still repeating 2:00-2:30. Don't know that it makes any difference, but why aren't they taking her word for it?

She also said that when she talked to him, she didn't get any particular feeling of fear or misgiving about him. Those aren't the words she used, and I can't remember exactly what she said, but at the time, I thought maybe she just thought that maybe he didn't know what to do, so she just did it for him.

I'm curious why she called her friend at a party. Did she live close enough that she might have seen a strange car at the house?

The judge ordered that their passports be returned. Brad was staying at friend's during that timeframe and the custody application says that he wasn't being given access to the house, so I don't know that Brad actually had possession of the kid's passports at the time of the hearing. He obviously didn't have the car and for all we know, the police are the ones who made the transfer.

That's an important point, imo. No one really even knows whether he kept those passports from her or not. We don't know if he refused to give her money. It's been reported that he did a lot of things, according to her family. I don't know these people, have no reason to doubt them..... just saying, we don't know.

If Jessica Adam is the friend that called NC at the party, her house is about 4.5 miles from NC's house in a different subdivision.

Yes, it was Jessica Adam who was interviewd. Okay, scratch that theory then. I just thought it would be unusual to call somebody at a party, especially when you're going to see them the next day.

I'll agree, we haven't heard his side of the story, and often when there are marital problems both sides accuse the other person of a lot of things. Not that I'm saying Nancy made it up, but it would help to hear what Brad has to say too.

 

[SuziQ]

I have alot to catch up with on this thread and will do that. Quick question though, what are the details and links regarding the passport ending up back in Nancy's car? Thanks!

 

[panthera]

I'm not sure either, SuziQ and I'm trying to find the article.

I saw it is "are we still on" and I think it was a ruse anyway, so Jessica called her cell instead of her home?

The Cary Police present their felony cases to the Wake County Grand Jury every other Monday for indictment.

The schedule is:

7-28-08
8-11-08
8-25-08

Looks like the earliest we will see an arrest is Monday evening, 7-28-08.

Exclusively? That is a new one for me-
