Massive Search Underway for Missing N.C. Woman

CARY, N.C. — A massive search was launched on Sunday to find a missing North Carolina woman last seen when she left her home to go running, WRAL.com reported.

Nancy Cooper, 34, reportedly went for a routine jog early Saturday morning, but never returned home to meet friends as planned.

Volunteers and police mobilized a search team with the help of the National Guard and police canines.

"We have had assistance from the National Guard that have flown routes for us in helicopters." Cary Police Capt. Michael Williams told WRAL.

Though Cooper's exact running route is unknown, volunteers reportedly scoured running trails and a golf course by foot and by bicycle — and plastered flyers with Cooper's picture on buildings and street signs.

"That was a little odd," neighbor Diana Duncan told WRAL upon learning of Cooper's disappearance. "She doesn't stand you up. She'll always call."

Authorities described Cooper — an avid runner who was training for a half-marathon — as a caucasian woman, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds. She has hazel eyes and brown hair, and was last seen wearing a T-shirt, running shorts and light blue running shoes, according to WRAL.com.

"She has two beautiful little girls who I love so much," Duncan said. "We her so much; we all do. We just have to keep looking on."

Search on for missing Cary woman

CARY - Dozens of friends and strangers gathered early today to search for a missing mother of two who hasn’t been seen since Saturday morning.
Nancy Cooper, 34, left her home on Wallsburg Court at 7 a.m. Saturday for a jog and did not return, according to police.

A neighbor, Diana Duncan, said Cooper was on foot, didn’t have her car and wasn’t carrying identification. Duncan said she’s helping organize the volunteer search from the Lochmere Pavilion shopping center off Kildaire Farm Road.

Duncan says she’s known Cooper since Cooper moved to Cary from Canada eight years ago. She said Cooper's husband Brad Cooper was at home with the couple's two young daughters, ages 4 and almost 2.

“She’s the best mom around,” Duncan said.

Police say Cooper is white, 5 foot 9 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds. She has hazel eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a T-shirt, running shorts and light blue running shoes.

Cooper is very athletic and was training for a half marathon, Duncan said.

Volunteers fanned out through the Lochmere area of Cary, putting up flyers as they went. Duncan said she felt volunteers were running out of places to search.

“I don’t want to leave,” she said. “I keep hoping someone’s going to call.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Cary Police at 469-4016.

Cary, N.C. — National Guard pilots, police dogs and friends searched Sunday for a jogger who went missing a day earlier.

Nancy Cooper, 34, of Wallsburg Court, went running at 7 a.m. Saturday but did not return home by 9 a.m. or meet friends later that morning as planned.

"That was a little odd," said neighbor Diana Duncan, who has known the mother of two since she moved from Canada. "She doesn't stand you up. She'll always call."

Duncan said that Cooper did not take her car, keys or identification when she went running.

Dozens of people turned out to join a search party from Lochmere Pavilion, at Kildaire Farm Road and Lochmere Drive, around 8 a.m. Sunday. They combed running trails and a golf course by foot and by bicycle, and volunteers plastered flyers with Cooper's picture on buildings and street signs.

Cary police officers said they have launched an all-out search for Cooper.

"Officers out here on foot, we've had a great number of those out here. We've had K9 out here," Capt. Michael Williams said. "We have had assistance from the National Guard that have flown routes for us in helicopters."

Cooper's running route was believed to be in the Lochmere Lake or the Regency Park areas. She was training for a half marathon and is a member of Lochmere Swim and Tennis Club.

"She has two beautiful little girls who I love so much," Duncan said. "We love her so much; we all do. We just have to keep looking on."

Cooper was described as a white woman, standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds. She has hazel eyes and brown hair that goes just past her shoulders.

She was last seen wearing a T-shirt, running shorts and light blue running shoes.

Anyone with information related to Cooper’s whereabouts should contact the Cary Police Department at 919-469-4016.

Cary, N.C. — The search will continue Monday morning for a missing Cary jogger.

Nancy Cooper, 34, of Wallsburg Court, went running at 7 a.m. Saturday but did not return home.

"That was a little odd," said neighbor Diana Duncan. "She doesn't stand you up. She'll always call."

Duncan said that Cooper did not take her car, keys or identification when she went out.

A search party on Sunday combed Cooper's running route, which was believed to be the Lochmere Lake and Regency Park areas. Volunteers also plastered flyers with Cooper's photo on buildings and street signs.

"Officers out here on foot, we've had a great number of those out here. We've had K9 out here," Capt. Michael Williams said. "We have had assistance from the National Guard that have flown routes for us in helicopters."

Divers also searched Lochmere Lake on Sunday as a precautionary measure, officers said.

Cooper was training for a half marathon and is a member of Lochmere Swim and Tennis Club.

"She has two beautiful little girls who I love so much," Duncan said. "We love her so much; we all do. We just have to keep looking on."

Cooper's husband said Sunday evening that this had been a very difficult time for his family. He asked that everyone continue to spread his wife's photo around.

Cooper, originally from Canada, is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds. She has hazel eyes and brown hair that goes just past her shoulders.

She was last seen wearing a T-shirt, running shorts and light blue running shoes.

Anyone with information about Cooper’s whereabouts is asked to call the Cary Police Department at 919-469-4016.

Search resumes for missing Cary woman
SAMUEL SPIES
Raleigh News & Observer

Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore plans a news briefing this afternoon on the investigation into the disappearance of a mother of two who has not been seen since Saturday morning.

Police so far have not provided much detail about their search for Nancy Cooper, whose husband last saw her Saturday morning. A town spokeswoman, Deanna Boone, said this morning that officers were expanding the search to include running trails beyond the area searched over the weekend.

Cooper, 34, left her home on Wallsburg Court in the Lochmere subdivision about 7 a.m. Saturday to go jogging, police said over the weekend. She was expected home about 9 a.m. but did not return.

About 75 people, including a number of Cooper's friends and neighbors, gathered this morning in a drizzly rain to look for her along trails and nearby wooded areas.

A neighbor, Diana Duncan, said Cooper was on foot and wasn't carrying identification. Duncan has been organizing the volunteer searches.

Duncan said she has known Cooper since Cooper moved to Cary from Canada eight years ago. She said on Sunday that Cooper's husband, Brad Cooper, was at home with the couple's two daughters, ages 4 and almost 2.

Michael Morwick, whose wife is Cooper's best friend, said Brad Cooper is very concerned.

"He's lost," Morwick said. "He's just doing what police have asked."

He is trying to keep regular bed times and regular play dates for the two girls, Morwick added.

Police described Nancy Cooper as white, 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 120 pounds. She has hazel eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a T-shirt, running shorts and light blue running shoes.

Investigators are treating Cooper's disappearance as a missing-person case.

Cooper was training for a half-marathon, Duncan said.

The police have asked us to look a little bit further off the trail," search organizer Mike Morwick said Monday. "Yesterday, we covered every trail in the Lochmere Regency area. We're just going further, we're looking further into the brush to see if there's anything that might raise suspicion."

Meanwhile, investigators said they were also interviewing Nancy Cooper's family members and acquaintances to learn more about her life.

Police say no one has reported seeing Cooper, 34, after a dinner party in the neighborhood that ended late Friday night. They said they do not believe she had any identification on her Saturday when she apparently left the house.

"We consider her to be alive and a missing person, at this time," Cary police Chief Pat Bazemore said at a news conference Monday afternoon. "And our goal is tor bring her home."

About 200 people were out searching Monday. That included Cooper's husband, said Bazemore, adding that they have been in direct contact with him.

Brad Cooper told WRAL News on Sunday that he and his wife were having "marital issues" but would not elaborate, nor would he comment further about his wife's disappearance.

Cooper's father, mother and identical twin sister traveled from Canada to assist in the search.

Cary, N.C. — Investigators conducted interviews while officers and hundreds of volunteers searched Monday for a Cary mother of two whose friend reported her missing after she didn't show up for a planned visit Saturday afternoon.

Police say no one has reported seeing Nancy Cooper, 34, after a dinner party in the neighborhood that ended late Friday night. They said they do not believe she had any identification on her Saturday when she apparently left the house.

Jessica Adams, a friend of Cooper, reported her missing at 2:15 p.m. when she failed to show up for a visit, police said at a press conference Monday evening.

Brad Cooper told police his wife went out for a jog around 7 a.m. Saturday but did not return by 9 a.m. as planned.

When asked why Brad Cooper had not called police about his wife, Cary police Chief Bazemore said, "We don't know why the husband didn't report her missing."

Police described Cooper as being 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds, with hazel eyes and brown hair that goes just past her shoulders. She was last seen wearing a T-shirt, running shorts and light blue running shoes.

Anyone with information about Cooper’s whereabouts is asked to call the Cary Police Department at 919-469-4016 or Crime Stoppers at 919-226-CRIM(E).

"We consider her to be alive and a missing person, at this time," Bazemore said at a news conference Monday afternoon. "And our goal is tor bring her home."

Bazemore said that Brad Cooper is being cooperative and has agreed to let the police search the couple's house and cars. She confirmed that he had told police that they were experiencing marital problems.

Brad Cooper made his first public statement at the evening press conference, but did not answer any questions. He thanked all the volunteers and said he hopes anyone with information would come forward.

Cooper's father, mother and identical twin sister traveled from Canada to assist in the search.

"We have been here today to help find Nancy," Cooper's father, Garry Rentz said. "We believe she will be brought home soon. And we thank the community for the support that they've given and ask they continue in their effort to find our daughter."

About 200 people joined search parties that covered the areas of Lochmere Lake and Regency Park, which were believed to be routes Cooper regularly jogs. They also posted more than 2,000 fliers.

"The police have asked us to look a little bit further off the trail," search organizer Mike Morwick said Monday. "Yesterday, we covered every trail in the Lochmere Regency area. We're just going further, we're looking further into the brush to see if there's anything that might raise suspicion."

Crews have searched in and around Lochmere Lake for Cooper, and Bazemore said they are also searching near Lake Wheeler and Lake Johnson.

Friends said Monday that the search is personal.

"Nancy is one of our dearest friends, and we miss her dearly," Morwick said. "And we just want to find an end to this."

I agree, KittyMom! There's another thing that I personally would never do and that's leave home without cellphone or ID. I also read in one article she was supposed to start her jog at Java Jive. I guess no one saw her there which seems kind of odd on a Saturday morning. About the friend reporting her missing, I think the friend must know something that LE isn't telling the public ~ such as the reason the friend was worried after such a short period of time? Maybe Nancy had told her friend something like, "if I'm ever late, something bad has happened to me"?

Duncan described the event as a cocktail party, but "very casual, sort of a normal Friday-night summer thing." She said Nancy Cooper looked tired and that she had not been feeling well.

Brad Cooper confirmed today the couple were having marital problems but doubted his wife would leave.

"Well, it's not like she would just run away like this," he said.

He said he believes she's still alive. "I'm keeping a positive mindset." The kids, he said, are "doing good. We're keeping them active."

Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore said today she thinks Nancy Cooper, a mother of two who has been missing since Saturday, is still alive.

"There are no suspects or persons of interest in this case," Bazemore said at a news conference today. "We believe Nancy is alive."

Bazemore said police have been talking regularly to Brad Cooper, "and he is answering our questions."

Michael Morwick, whose wife, Clea, is Cooper's best friend, said Brad Cooper is very concerned.

"He's lost," Morwick said. "He's just doing what police have asked."

He is trying to keep regular bed times and regular play dates for the two girls, Morwick added.

Of course LE is going to hope she's alive and want people to help search for her and also not want to say anything that would make Nancy's husband clam up and get a lawyer. Right now there isn't anything either to show that she's not alive or that he did anything to her ~ but, imo, no one would just up and take off without any ID, money, phone, etc. especially with 2 small children and leave them behind. This reminds me so much of Stacy Peterson except this husband is actually trying to show some concern whether it's real or not.

First thought for me is, why didn't he become alarmed during that time and call LE himself? Or did he think that would immediately make him a suspect? If I told my husband I was going to be gone a couple of hours and didn't come home, believe me, he'd be out looking for me before 5 more hrs. passed. Another reason to always take the cell phone! In this case, if everything happened like he says, where did he think she went without any ID or anything? It's not like she decided to go shopping or something like that after jogging. :shrug1:

Cary, N.C. — A body was found Monday evening in Wake County, and police said they were looking into the possibility that it was the body of a missing Cary woman.

At about 7:30 p.m., a man walking his dog reported seeing a person floating in a pond near Holly Springs Road and Fielding Drive.

That location is not far from where a mother of two reportedly went for a jog around 7 a.m. Saturday.

Jessica Adams, a friend of Nancy Cooper, reported her missing at 2:15 p.m. when she failed to show up for a visit, police said at a press conference Monday evening.

CARY - A body has been found in a pond that police believe may be the missing Cary jogger, Nancy Cooper.

Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore, at a news conference tonight, said a man was walking his dog about 7:30 p.m. near a pond on Fielding Drive when he discovered the body of a woman. Authorities have not confirmed that it is Cooper, but police say they think it may be because of the proximity to where she was last seen.

Her husband, Brad Cooper, told investigators he last saw his wife when she left home at 7 a.m. Saturday for a jog. Nancy Cooper, 34, was reported missing at 2:51 p.m. Saturday by a friend, Jessica Adam, according to Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore.

The volunteer searchers, along with 32 police officers who have been working around the clock, searched the trails around Lake Wheeler and Lake Johnson today, Bazemore said. During the weekend, the search focused on trails and woods in and near the Regency and Lochmere neighborhoods of Cary. The Coopers live in Lochmere with their two daughters, ages 4 and almost 2.

Adam said that Cooper was supposed to join her Saturday morning at Adam’s house to help paint her dining room. The friends had made a deal: Cooper was going to help her paint; and then Adam was going to help Cooper organize her house. Both were runners, training to participate in the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon on Aug. 31 in Virginia Beach, Va.

When Cooper didn’t show up, Adam called Brad Cooper. She said he told her that his wife had gone for a run with a friend, but he wasn’t sure which friend. Adam said he later called to say he thought the friend was someone named Carrie, and wanted to know whether Adam knew how to contact Carrie.

Adam knew someone by that name, but said she didn’t know the woman’s last name and did not have her phone number. Cooper said he was going to continue looking for Carrie’s phone number and hung up, Adam said.

Adam said she felt that something had gone wrong and called police.

Cary police said today that Brad Cooper was cooperating with them, answering questions and allowing them to search his house and cars. About 3:45 p.m., police searched the couple’s BMW sedan and BMW SUV. They also removed a Louis Vuitton purse from one of the vehicles.

Brad Cooper said Monday in an interview in the driveway of the couple’s Wallsburg Court home that the couple was having marital problems, but not to the point he felt his wife would leave him and their two children. Adam said the two children stayed at her house Monday.

Brad Cooper works at Cisco Systems while Nancy Cooper stayed at home with their children.

Cooper’s parents, Donna and Garry Rentz of Edmonton, Alberta, and her identical twin sister, Khrista Lister, of Toronto arrived Monday morning.

Reading from a statement earlier in the day, Garry Rentz the family was “overwhelmed” by the support of Cary residents. Bazemore said the degree of community interest and involvement in the search for Cooper was unprecedented.

Nancy Cooper had attended a party with friends Friday night at neighbor Diana Duncan’s home. Duncan described the event as a cocktail party, but “very casual, sort of a normal Friday-night summer thing.” She said Nancy Cooper looked tired and said she had not been feeling well.

The body was lying in dirt alongside a cul-de-sac that has been cut in preparation for a new subdivision, Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison said.


Nancy has been missing since Saturday morning so was this the first time in days that this guy walked his dog in that area? Why wasn't she seen before now? If this is an area where work is being done, did no one see her during the day today?

"I never understood there to be anything in terms of a physical threat, but a tense marriage. No, I didn't have any specific reason other than just concern for my friend,” Adams said of reporting her friend missing.


How many of us could describe our marriages as "tense" at times? Especially with two small children and one income.

I'm wondering if she were assaulted.

Monday night, the Town of Cary issued the following media briefing:

The Town of Cary Police Department announced the discovery of a deceased woman Monday night, just outside the Town limits in the area of Lochmere.

While the body cannot be identified until a full medical examination is conducted, it is possible that the body could be that of Nancy Cooper, 34, of Wallsburg Court in Cary, who has been missing since Saturday.

“We’re not making any assumptions that this is Nancy, but we are working with the Wake County Sheriff’s Office to identify the body,” said Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore. “It is a sad and difficult time for all of us. Our hearts are with Mrs. Cooper’s family and close friends during this very trying time.”

At around 7:30 this evening, a man walking his dog called 911 to report seeing a person floating in a pond on Fielding Drive near Holly Springs Road.

Because the person was discovered in Wake County and not in the Town of Cary proper, the investigation is in the hands of the Wake County Sheriff’s Office.

Cooper was last seen by her husband early Saturday morning when she left her home to go running. She is a white female, 5 feet, 9 inches tall, about 120 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair just past her shoulders. She may have been wearing a T-shirt, running shorts and light blue running shoes.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest or indictment of those responsible for committing certain types of crimes. If you have information, contact Crime Stoppers at 226-CRIM(E); you may also visit www.carycrimestoppers.net. All calls to Crime Stoppers are kept in complete confidence.

If you have information on this case, you can also call NC WANTED toll free at 1.866.43.WANTED or click on "Report a Tip" Your identity can be kept confidential.

"Brad Cooper told police his 34-year-old wife went out for a jog around 7 a.m. Saturday but did not return by 9 a.m. as planned.

When asked why Brad Cooper had not called police about his wife, Bazemore said, "We don't know why the husband didn't report her missing."

Body found in Wake County could be missing jogger

Posted: Jul. 14 10:16 p.m.
Updated: Today at 5:34 a.m.

Cary, N.C. — A body was found Monday evening in Wake County, and police said they were looking into the possibility that it was the body of a missing Cary woman, Nancy Cooper.

The body was lying in dirt alongside a cul-de-sac that has been cut in preparation for a new subdivision, Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison said.

“It is just a typical subdivision, with a lot of streets cut and cul-de-sacs cut, under construction. I don’t even think there is a house down this particular cul-de-sac,” Harrison added.

Cary police initially had said that a man who found the body while walking his dog had spotted it in a pond. The body was near Holly Springs Road and Fielding Drive, outside Cary city limits in the area of Lochmere.

That is not far from where the mother of two reportedly went missing.

“We’re not making any assumptions that this is Nancy, but we are working with the Wake County Sheriff’s Office to identify the body,” said Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore. “It is a sad and difficult time for all of us. Our hearts are with Mrs. Cooper’s family and close friends during this very trying time.”

Jessica Adams, a friend of Nancy Cooper, reported her missing at 2:15 p.m. Saturday when she failed to show up for a visit, police said at a news conference Monday evening.

Brad Cooper told police his 34-year-old wife went out for a jog around 7 a.m. Saturday but did not return by 9 a.m. as planned.

When asked why Brad Cooper had not called police about his wife, Bazemore said, "We don't know why the husband didn't report her missing."

Police sent the woman's body found Monday evening to the state medical examiner in Chapel Hill for identification.

"We have an unidentified female body and we are working very closely with Cary and tomorrow (Tuesday) morning they will find out from the autopsy, the cause of death and who this person is," Harrison said.

Police described Cooper as being 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds, with hazel eyes and brown hair that goes just past her shoulders. She was last seen wearing a T-shirt, running shorts and light blue running shoes.

Bazemore said that Brad Cooper was being cooperative and had agreed to let the police search the couple's house and cars. She confirmed that he had told police that they were experiencing marital problems.

"I never understood there to be anything in terms of a physical threat, but a tense marriage. No, I didn't have any specific reason other than just concern for my friend,” Adams said of reporting her friend missing.

Brad Cooper made his first public statement at an evening news conference, but did not answer any questions. He thanked all the volunteers and said he hopes anyone with information would come forward.

"I want to thank all the hundreds of volunteers who came out and are continuing to come and if anyone knows anything, I would like them to contact the police with any information they may have,” Brad Cooper said.

About 200 people have joined search parties that covered the areas of Lochmere Lake and Regency Park, which were believed to be routes Cooper regularly jogs. They also posted more than 2,000 fliers.

"The police have asked us to look a little bit further off the trail," search organizer Mike Morwick said Monday. "Yesterday, we covered every trail in the Lochmere Regency area. We're just going further, we're looking further into the brush to see if there's anything that might raise suspicion."

I still haven't figured out where this location is, but I did find an area that might match. One of the latest news sites is still saying Holly Springs Rd and now a culdesac at "The Oaks at Meadowridge" subdivision. That subdivision is supposed to be on Fielding Dr (off of Holly Springs Rd). If you go all of the way to the dead end of Fielding Dr, there is an area cut out for new construction. A perfect place (better than that other pond) to put a body. The perp would have to know, though, that she would still be found sooner or later with construction going on there.

Has the LE actually released information from the tape? I thought it was just hearsay for right now? I could be wrong though... It has happened a few times before.

Has the LE actually released information from the tape? I thought it was just hearsay for right now? I could be wrong though... It has happened a few times before.

If he did do this.. And I am only saying if as we don't have that info yet, why do spouses not just divorce? What goes through someones mind that they can't just walk away?? :0009:

No they havent released anything. JMO. just my own speculation.

It is sad isn't nana?? I just don't get it.. I can't imagine one parent putting their own children through something like that because of the other parent.. It would absolutely crush me if something happened to my kids' dad.. To see the pain in their eyes... And if I was the one to cause that pain??? OH LORD!! LIke I said I just don't get it...

Update from wral.com ~

Body identified as missing Cary mom

Updated: 22 minutes ago

Cary, N.C. — Police say the body found Monday night in an undeveloped subdivision just outside Cary's town limit is that of Nancy Cooper, the 34-year-old mother of two whose friend reported her missing Saturday when she failed to show up for a visit.

"The search for our Nancy is over," Cary police Chief Pat Bazemore said at a news conference Tuesday evening, accompanied by Cooper's parents, twin sister and brother. "Nancy was murdered, and our investigation is now a homicide."

A man walking his dog near Holly Springs Road and Fielding Drive – less than three miles from Cooper's home – found Cooper's body lying on the bank of a storm water pond near a cul-de-sac at the Oaks at Meadowridge subdivision.

Bazemore said investigators do not have a suspect or person of interest in the case, but that they do not believe it was a random crime. She declined further disclosures about the investigation, including a cause of death.

"We are appalled and outraged by this terrible tragedy," Bazemore said. "And as chief of this department, I promise each one of you, nothing will stand in our way to ensure a swift and certain closure to this case."

Cooper is survived by her husband, Brad Cooper; daughters, Bella, 4, and Katie, 2; parents Garry and Donna Rentz, of Edmonton, Alberta; a brother, Jeff Rentz, and two sisters, Khrista Lister, her identical twin, of Toronto, and Jill Dean, of Edmonton.

"The wheel that is our family is missing a spoke. And while that wheel is now forever changed, it's incumbent on us to adapt so we may continue to spin," Cooper's brother, Jeff Rentz, said. "Nancy is a mother, a daughter and a sister, and that's how we'll keep her alive in our hearts."

Town of Cary spokeswoman Susan Moran said she did not anticipate any more information about the case would be released Tuesday. Any new information to be made public would be available at a news conference scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday, she said. (Watch it live on WRAL.com.)

First, I'd have my cellphone and ID with me when I left home. If I was even an hour late getting home he'd be calling that phone and if there wasn't any answer he'd be out looking for me. Nancy's husband says she left home basically without anything, so where did he think she went after jogging? Unless of course he knew she didn't. To me, that's suspicious itself, since he didn't seem to be at all worried after she was over 5 hrs. late coming back. :frown:

I have to admit, when I heard the first (incorrect) report that she was found in a body of water, that she had been tired at the party, and with the ages of her children, I thought that maybe she'd committed suicide.

Before I left for work this morning, Fox News was covering the story and when they quoted LE as saying the public didn't have to worry about a predator, someone suggested maybe because it was suicide. But tonight's report is definitely a homicide.

Not a public safety threat, isolated incident, LE saying publicly no suspect yet. Doesn't know where the children are. Nancy's family in from Canada, could be helping with the children, other people have offered their help. LE not releasing cause of death at this point.

For anyone:
About the purse .. what woman would leave her Louis Vitan (sp?) purse in the car? Maybe just briefly while she took something else in, like groceries or the kids. Depending on where the kids were, he could have done something to her on the way home from the party and forgot about her purse.

I still think it depends on if the car was in the garage with an electronic garage door that is lockable. I have to admit I leave mine in my car (not a LV though!).

My brother lives about 45 min away from Cary, my SIL said they all think the husband did it and are very cautous about going out alone even though LE said there is not a threat. Makes you wonder what the police know, if perhaps a "significant other" is involved. The crime scene is released now they have moved onto the house with search warrant. Did you hear the question if Luminol was used at all during the search? No Comment and if Husband has retained an attorney, No information on that as well. I guess we await the autopsy report. Was there a incident of Husband choking her? I may have the wrong case.

http://www.bluelineradio.com/news714.html

Many of Nancy Cooper's closest friends have been talking about what they know and what they believe to have happened. Most everyone agrees that the latest of many affairs Brad Cooper has been involved in was too much for Nancy to bear.

Although adultery isn't a crime, it has led to countless murders and assaults. A crime of passion they call it. Just can't help yourself. Till death do you part.

Imagine knowing that the argument or anger that led to Nancy's murder was because of your lack of loyalty, your poor sense of judgment, your part in the betrayal, how would you live with yourself? And imagine thinking nobody knows but they do, they all do. Everyone knows what the anger was all about. Everyone knows why Nancy wanted out.

Friends are talking, they are talking to police and they are talking to us, telling us what they feel set this tragedy into motion.

I'm sure this crime has so many eyes and ears is because too many women and men have found themselves at the end of this same rope, betrayed, isolated, desperate to find a way out. We can all identify with the emotional struggles of a marriage teetering on the brink. If we haven't been thru it ourselves we know someone that has. It's a tinderbox, a dangerous, highly combustible part of at nearly half of all of the divorcing couple's final days, weeks, even months together. Too often an assault or even murder will be a part of that struggle to free yourself from a situation you have no control over. For people with issues of control, violence seems to be the norm.

This tragic murder will break up the neighborhood's superficial camaraderie, but just before it implodes, someone will be thrown to the lions.

Friends of the Coopers tell us that Nancy Cooper wanted out of her marriage to husband Brad Cooper, she had had enough of the extra-marital relationship Brad Cooper carried on with a friend of hers. Nancy and the children had just returned home from a respite visit with her family in Canada when she broke the news to her husband that she was leaving and taking the two children with her. She had enough and she told him that.

Questions arise from the get go, why didn't he report her missing, why did it take one of Nancy's best friends to call police? She had allegedly been gone for over 7 hours.

Then there are the rumors that have Brad at the grocery at 4 that morning purchasing laundry detergent with bleach.

MOMTO3KIDS POSTED: I have a strong feeling her husband Brad has something to do with this. The police are in possession of a video with Brad early Saturday morning at a local store. He told the police he went to get milk and bread at 6am. The video has Brad buying detergent with bleach and/or bleach actually purchased at 4am. My child works at this store and management did not state to not speak about it. I feel this is a crucial piece of evidence indicating something had occurred.

Just after the Cary Police Press Conference, police pulled out the crime scene tape to seal off the Cooper house. Seal it off I might add after several friend's of the family went in and out all morning. One might anticipate that tonight luminol will be used to look for traces of blood and body fluid.

The autopsy should have narrowed down a time of death, forensics of the gathered material taken from shoes, socks, clothing and attempt to prove or disprove any outdoor activity that may have left residue or evidence that at some point Nancy was in fact jogging. Blood samples will have been taken to look for toxins. Stomach contents closely looked at to help gauge the time of death.

Apparently enough evidence was presented to a judge in order to receive a search warrant today for the home. Hopefully the warrant will be made available to the media, along with an inventory of items taken from the home.

While there has been no arrest yet there are equally if not more important issues to address. It is an unacceptable risk to allow 2 precious little children to spend one more second of unsupervised time with the killer of their mother. Even supervised, who will check him for weapons, who could stop him from holding them hostage?

Some reading our reports regarding this murder may want to take issue with us about our biased treatment of Brad Cooper and how it might effect law enforcement's efforts to arrest him for the murder. Before you send off that angry email stop and think that anyone desperate enough to take the life of the woman that gave birth to his children, may in fact be equally as desperate to not only take his own life but that of his children. We've seen done all too often. These two innocent children, left alone in that house with him, are in danger. Children come first, always. You have to protect the children.

Rest in peace Nancy, your babies will be safe.

Detectives executed a search warrant Wednesday for the house and vehicles belonging to a slain North Carolina mother and her husband.

Authorities launched a murder investigation a day earlier, after the body of 34-year-old Nancy Cooper was found near where her husband said she'd gone jogging.

The search warrant includes the house that Nancy and Brad Cooper shared, their two vehicles and forensic evidence from Brad Cooper, himself.

EXCERPT

Bazemore added that Brad Cooper had planned to attend Tuesday’s news conference with authorities and the woman’s family, but he declined at the last minute.

Bazemore declined to comment on whether or not Cooper’s body had suffered defensive wounds and would not confirm or deny reports that Brad Cooper had purchased bleach at a local convenience store just hours before his wife’s body was found.

"We do not have a suspect now," Bazemore said. "We will not stop until we find them."

I like the police chief. She seems to know what she is doing. I am sure they want Brad to cooperate as much as possible, so even if he is a suspect or POI, they are not going to announce it, because once they do.. he's lawyering up.

The PC yesterday was very telling. The body language of her family and the statement of the brother that "left out that Nancy was a wife". That basically did it for me. I do hate to judge.. but it looks to me like hubby may have something to hide.

Also, WRAL has a video of where the body was found, definately a drainage or retention type pond. Right off the cul-de-sac, very small.

EXCERPT

Detectives executed a search warrant Wednesday for the house and vehicles belonging to a slain North Carolina mother and her husband.

Authorities launched a murder investigation a day earlier, after the body of 34-year-old Nancy Cooper was found near where her husband said she'd gone jogging.

The search warrant includes the house that Nancy and Brad Cooper shared, their two vehicles and forensic evidence from Brad Cooper, himself.

EXCERPT

Bazemore added that Brad Cooper had planned to attend Tuesday’s news conference with authorities and the woman’s family, but he declined at the last minute.

Bazemore declined to comment on whether or not Cooper’s body had suffered defensive wounds and would not confirm or deny reports that Brad Cooper had purchased bleach at a local convenience store just hours before his wife’s body was found.

"We do not have a suspect now," Bazemore said. "We will not stop until we find them."

I just have a couple minutes to drop in now, but this is sure different than some story I read elsewhere last night that he was out buying detergent with bleach at 4am on Saturday, when Nancy was supposed to still be alive, and giving the impression he'd left the kids alone while he's out buying something to cover up Nancy's murder. I believe there's a good chance he did this, but I wish stories would get straight before rumors get started. :smile:

LE removed 6 bags of evidence from the house. Nancy's friends have commented at www.Bluelineradio.com that she was fed up with Brad's infidelities. Supposedly Brad's parents knew nothing about this and are on their way to Cary. www.Medicinehatnews.com I can't get on the site, probably too busy. On the one site someone reported that brad had scratch marks on his arms, he is wearing long sleeve shirt and jeans in 90 degree weather. I have trying not to put him in the chair just yet, but sure is leaning that way.
Funeral arrangements I suppose will pend release of her body and to whom? If he is arrested...... So Sad those sweet little babies.

Hi! :0012: And I thank you very much for that too! I totally agree.

I still think LE must be considering him their prime suspect since this statement doesn't give much option for anyone else:

http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/3214017/

Brad Cooper had no comment, but his attorneys, Howard Kurtz and Seth Blum, released a statement Wednesday afternoon saying he would not answer questions from the media but would continue cooperating with police.

"Brad is devastated by the news of Nancy's death," the statement read. "He has and will continue to assist in law enforcement efforts to bring his wife's killer or killers to justice."

Investigators were back at the Cooper home Wednesday evening. They took inside several empty boxes.

Hi Sunstar, so sad, You say not her normal route for running, others say no one would run in this area. Have you heard anymore regarding her running partner no one knew, Connie, I think. LE keeping it pretty tight lipped. God she just came back from visit to her parents, supposedly wanting Brad out of the home due to his marital infidelity, I wonder what if anything she told them, they really seem very stoic at the PC.

Hi! :0012: Where she was found was a new planned housing development with some roads but lots of trees and wasn't her usual route, is all I know.

Good to see you too!! :0012: I wouldn't worry ~ I trust LE when they say they believe this is an isolated incident and the public isn't in harm's way. I think they just want to make sure they've got enough evidence before making an arrest and to confirm some things from the autopsy like closing in on the time frame of her death. It's already within a 7 hr. window but if she was killed right after getting home from the party her stomach contents & BAC level could really disprove his story she went out at 7am jogging. They also need to test everything seized from the house and meanwhile are keeping a close watch on him. :smile:

Our dear friend, Dr. Baden :girl_haha: said last night that the time of death could be narrowed down by stomach contents and toxicology reports since she'd been at the party and got home at midnight. Now if she were out running, yes sweat would be on her clothes. Just my opinion, it might not be easy to tell though if she were redressed in some jogging clothes she'd already worn on another occasion, though, as there would be sweat, skin cells on the clothes already.

Nancy Cooper had attended a party with friends Friday night at neighbor Diana Duncan's home. Duncan described the event as a cocktail party, but "very casual, sort of a normal Friday-night summer thing." She said Nancy Cooper looked tired and said she had not been feeling well.

So Baden says stomach contents will help determin TOD. Does a runner eat breakfast before a run?

I am thinking autopsy results may be released. Brad has an attorney, LE went back to house again this evening according to WRAL and recovered more bags of evidence. He will continue to cooperate, my bet is on him attending PC tomorrow at 9am. The video could very well be him picking up milk and detergent, cleaning up the house before Nancy returned home with the children. Time/Date stamp, just wonder why LE is keeping watch.

Time for night night, Sweet Dreams Y'all

G'nite SB!:happy0207:

Let's hope thats all the shopping trip was for.

Cleaning up the house before Nancy returned with the children? I'm confused! :confused: The time of the shopping was supposed to be either 4am or 6am when she was supposed to be home and he says she went jogging at 7am.

That I don't know ~ but if the stomach contents were what she had at the party, then that means the murder happened before she digested that food. If the tox screen shows alcohol in her system, it also means she was murdered shortly after the party ~ not after 7am. :smile:

Our dear friend, Dr. Baden :girl_haha: said last night that the time of death could be narrowed down by stomach contents and toxicology reports since she'd been at the party and got home at midnight. Now if she were out running, yes sweat would be on her clothes. Just my opinion, it might not be easy to tell though if she were redressed in some jogging clothes she'd already worn on another occasion, though, as there would be sweat, skin cells on the clothes already.

And if, she was redressed, I'm reasoning, that touch cell dna, from him, would be inside the clothing as he dressed her.

Previous article states DNA is part of the search warrant.

She's running the repeat now.I'm watching, but if one more woman says "Hi Nancy, I love your show or I love your twins", I'm gonna puke, lol.

Note: Bluelineradio.com is wrong when they said she was found in Woody's lake. They also are the ones that said Brad had scratches on his arms. I'm not going to believe that either, until LE tells us. Same with the rumor that he was buying bleach or whatever at 4 am. Might be true, but I'm gonna wait. If people know stuff, they should wait until LE releases it. The perp could go free because of that and possibly kill your friend or your daughter, etc. Hence the term "Loose Lips Sink Ships". Sorry Im on a tangent tonite.

I've been reading so much the past couple of days, I can't tell you where I saw it, but it seemed to be one article that said he wasn't at the party. I'm sorry, I can try to find it! :6u8ky2o:

My Bad :71541: Okay, I am going by the "No Confirmation" of any video except post on a message board. LE has not confirmed. I was reaching, that, Yes, Maybe there is a video, but Wrong Day and TIme :shrug1:

Excellent point! It was described as a cocktail party, so maybe she did consume alcohol. IIRC alcohol cannot be detected after 6 hours.

That's true too, his DNA could be on her clothes, but he could also say he did the laundry! :thud2: Also, her skin cells could still be on clothing if it hadn't been thoroughly washed. So I think it'd be hard to prove by the clothes themselves if she'd been jogging when she was killed. I think a lot will depend on the cause of death, like if it was blunt force trauma or a head injury with bleeding, there would be blood where she was found if that was the crime scene ~ or whereever blood is found, is the crime scene.

LOL yeah, the twins do seems to come up in the most interesting segments of the show! I wish she would just set up a website for them and let people comment there. But, hey, no body asked me...

Waiting for LE to confirm facts in the case, is the best way to go. It saves so much confusion later.

Yes.. I agree! I didn't think he went to party.. I wonder if her friends remember what she wore to the party.. and where those clothes are?

I agree, it wouldn't be the complete proof of anything, but it would/could be a another piece of evidence. If she was redressed the places where his touch dna would be would not be consistent with folding clothes or laundry. I say this because of the recent touch dna in the Jonbenet case. The touch dna was on the sides of the pants where the predator had pulled them up to redress her. I'm thinking if Nancy was redressed the same cells locations would be detected.

I'd like to know about what she wore that night too, or if it happened after she went to bed, where those clothes are. With LE removing so many things from the house, it seems to me ~ just my opinion ~ they're looking for crime scene evidence so it doesn't seem now like she was strangled or smothered.

When you mentioned touch DNA I knew you were thinking of JonBenet! :smile: I'll agree, it wouldn't be in the same places as if touching clothes to fold laundry, but if challenged I wouldn't put it past his defense! If she was found in her jogging clothes, and shoes, his DNA sure shouldn't be on her shoelaces either.

If she suffered scratches or cuts and then redressed, wouldn't there be staining in reverse as the clothing were pulled on her? Could that be detectable?

yes, I do believe CSI could definitely tell if she had the clothing on when she was killed or it was a redressing. A t-shirt would be especially difficult to put on someone with an open head injury without transferring blood.

eta ~ only speculating about the head injury ~ no proof!

From the "A" follow Fielding Dr down to the end where there is just dirt roads cut out. You'll see 2 cul de sacs at the far end (bottom part). She was in between the 2 cul de sacs. Thanks heidi for helping me narrow the place down.

I don't jog.. but I know I wear a tee shirt and shorts to bed almost every night. Could very well have happened after she was dressed for or in bed.:0009:

I'll agree, especially at this time of year, she could've had the t-shirt on before she was killed ~ assuming this is what she was wearing when her body was found. (I can't believe he'd be as stupid as SP and have her in a completely different outfit!)

But the area being grassy and rather isolated maybe he didn't think she'd be found so soon, and wanted her in the open to decompose more rapidly. Or, maybe he got scared off somehow when he was there so he just left her. :shrug1:

Not have to turn around and go back they way they came in. JMO
