State v Bradley Cooper - 3/25/11

[rwesafe]

Lie, lie, and more lies.

NO WAY did BC give out passwords to his network. NO.WAY. Sorry, that's just laughable. :floorlaugh:

And again, against his company's policy. He did not. I don't care what Kurtz said in his opening. His opening is NOT evidence and that's just another red herring. Sorry, not buying that garbage.

Ummm, it is not the laughable as I have given two of my neighbors my WEP password to my network.

I work from home a lot and VPN to my company servers...but if my internet connection is down, I can't login to VPN. I think you are confusing people with which password he gave the neighbors access to. My company has no control over whom I allow to have the password to my home network.

It's not the examination of the complex system...it will be the GOOGLE SEARCHES on either 7/11 or the early morning hrs of 7/12 looking for a dump site (to include a map of Fielding Dr).

The defense will try to say someone else hacked into BC's network and put these Google searches on one of his computers.

That assertion is ridiculous and, IMHO, will not work.

IF there were Internet searches that show someone was looking for a place to dump a body AND the search included Fielding Dr, it was Brad who did those searches. Period.

I agree. I would hop off the fence if there were such searches. I doubt there are though. That would be pretty stupid. I still think all the computer evidence will be around her emails.

Also, my husband works for Cisco. We use Roadrunner. He said a modem comes in and has a Cisco Router that has 2 interfaces. One is for VPN and Cisco phone (VOIP) and the other is straight TWC and he puts a home router on there. That is what we use for home/personal. That one is not very secure because at times when I couldn't get on with our password, I was still online so I was on one of my neighbors networks temporarily.

He said that is how he does it, maybe some employees don't split it that way, but he likes to split work stuff from home and it also makes things faster on our personal computers.

I think I explained that right.

Yep, exactly. It's also easy to share wireless with neighbors. He probably had the best bandwidth in the neighborhood.

I'm intrigued about the trunk of the car. BC says he spilt gasoline there and cleaned it up. Did he say when this happened? Why did he have gasoline there? Weren't there photos of their yard showing high grass, suggesting no recent yard work? If he recently went to a gas station to buy gas in a portable container (usually <2gal), this might be traceable via credit card records.

Here is his explanation about the spilled gas in his Trunk. Ms. Stubbs grilled him back in 2008 because it was very suspicious.
(he said it was in May...Kangaroo Gas station near the house)

Talks about cleaning the house, garage and his trunk.

Wasn't Fielding Drive a new road? Would Google have updated their map to reflect it?

Fielding Drive is not a new road. It goes all the way to Holly Springs Road. The development at the back was new at the time.

 

[rwesafe]

In Kurtz's opening (I believe it was part 3) he talked about the network not being secure and he even said that BC gave his password out to neighbors so I don't think they are talking about his Cisco computer. He claims his witness will prove that CPD tampered with his files/history.

Thank you!

They wouldn't be talking about his work (vpn passwords). They would be talking about the wep passphrase (or key) to use the wireless lan. That's actually not an absurb scenario. Plenty of people share their internet service with others using a wireless network.

And how do you know that is against Cisco policy? My company doesn't have a policy about how I handle my home network.

Emptied it where? That would have had to be very well hidden, buried even. And unless he cleaned the inside of it out, traces of whatever he vacuumed out should have still been inside.

I think the main reason for not checking the shop vac was there was too much trace in it. Now, I have not noticed it in the pictures, but I have a fairly large one, and I only empty it when it is getting full. I think I have the original filter in it, which is where most of the stuff would be found. Can you imagine looking in mine?

It has probably been a year since it was emptied. I have vacuumed out the cars on several occasions, some stuff in the garage, and I might have loaned it to someone else at some point. It would take until all the witnesses had died of natural causes before they explained were all that stuff came from, especially since my car is used in nearly every state east of the Mississippi.

Too bad former Judge, Alice Stubbs (Nancy's divorce lawyer) is not leading the prosecution. She is one sharp cookie.

So if he spilled the gas in May, there would be no odor in July.

 

[Maja]

The house was cleared and sold long ago.

The contents of the house was put in storage...

So why the need to "clean" it in July because he said he spilled a little gas months earlier?
Brad was a slob. He would not suddenly decide to immaculately clean his trunk 2 months after he supposedly spilled a little gas. That was nothing more than another lie.

Yea, but Brad doesn't strike me as the most hospitable person (especially to the neighbors).

 

[CyberPro]

I guess it just doesn't make sense to me that anything that nefarious would be found on the thinkpad. Why would he meticulously clean up everything but the history on his laptop.

Why would he use his work laptop that would have been backed up most likely nightly, and could be easily accessed by corporate IT, to do anything that could be considered out of the ordinary or suspicious when he had another laptop that these things could be done on without creating undue notice or trails?

There is a LOT more to cleaning a computer than deleting the history. As an example.

1. When you delete a file, it is not deleted. The operating system only overwrites the first letter of the file name and marks the space it occupied as being available. It takes a special program to completely erase the file.

2. If you don't use the special program, the file that you deleted is easily recoverable.

3. If you do use the special tool, but use it incorrectly, the file can still be recovered, at least in part.

4. If you use the special tool, but don't understand that you need to wipe the slack space on the drive, there can still be traces of the file.

5. If you don't know to clear the registry, some traces of the file remain to be found. The registry is very complex, and parts and traces of the files are often in several locations, it is cryptic and hard to understand. Improperly editing the registry can corrupt the system.

Trying to portray Brad as "Mr. Clean" is ludicrous. His house was a mess, his backyard was a disgrace, his garage was (until he cleaned up part of it the morning of July 12th) cluttered to the max, but his car was all spiffy clean! Yea right.:waitasec:

 

[CyberPro]

According to what he told the detectives.

Ah, someone alert Kurtz. BC was dialing the cell phone IN HIS SLEEP. That can explain away some more things.

What video or deposition did he say when he cleaned it?

I don't think we can really form a good opinion of how clean he was without personally knowing him/living near him, visiting the house regularly. Remember they were planning to get the house ready to sell, there were boxes everywhere, they had two little kids. I can't say that it's out of character for someone to have a clean car but a messy house. Didn't he say he removed the seats to clean Nancy's car out and get all the crumbs before her trip?

At 2:32am there is a data usage call, this is not the same as receiving or sending text messages. This may be normal at&t activity at this hour.

For the 6:05am call, this is 23 second duration call, 1 second seizure time, and the calling party is seen as 8541511 (home). This call, for some reason, does not show on the billable record. The TWC call records should have an indication of this call. These 1 second seizure times are interesting as it appears to be auto answered, such as calling 4762001(Cisco). You hear no ringback tones when the call is auto answered as the call is answered immediately. So for a call received by a cell phone to have a seizure time of 1 second it would appear that the cell phone is set to call forward all to VM. Perhaps this is why the call is not billable as the billing part will only occur when the vm is retrieved?

At 6.25am, not on billable record, there is a GPRS call, internet browsing?. This is interesting in that the HT records show him exiting the store at 6:25am. So this must have occurred immediately after leaving HT on the first trip.

At 6:34am there is a call received from 8541511(home), 0 second duration and no seizure time indicated. So this call was neither answered nor forwarded to vm. I wonder if seizure time is recorded for calls that are not answered, the reason I ask this is that the seizure time would indicate the amount of time it took to possibly locate the phone.

At 6:37am, an outbound call(Brads cell to 467-2001 Cisco), 29 second duration with a seizure time of 1 second. This indicates that seizure time must be recorded for outbound calls from cell phone. This call was tracked to cell tower X.

At 6:40am, an inbound call from 8541511 (home), 32 seconds in duration and a seizure time of 8 seconds. This call was tracked to cell tower Y. I am not implying anything odd with the different cell towers. I would only find it interesting to know where cell tower X is located as it relates to where NC's body was found. This is the call from NC according to BC.

At 6:45am a call to cell phone VM, duration of 63 seconds.

At 6:46am receives a text message.

At 6:47am another call to cell phone VM, duration of 25 seconds.
===================================================

Hmmm. If you read the 10/10 SW on Brad's Samsung, CPD thinks he set up the spoofed 6:40 call using his internet connection from that Samsung smart phone.

So when did he use the phone's internet to set up the VOIP call?

Seems there are only 2 choices...

2:32AM or 6:25AM

Kurtz said in his opening statements that BC did lie about some things and that it would come out. I'm sure they are referring to segments of the dep. and probably the times of the phone calls when he said he was sleeping.
