Brad Cooper: Video and Statement

/in , /by

Brad Cooper, whose wife disappeared after jogging a week ago Saturday, has declared his innocence through his attorney on Friday, but he hasn’t spoken to the media since his wife’s body has been discovered.

Nancy Cooper’s family gained custody of the couple’s children because they believed Brad Cooper was a danger to the children.

The judge found that Brad had recently threatened to commit suicide, that he “has a history of emotional instability,” and that he is under “intense scrutiny . . . as a result of the ongoing criminal investigation of Nancy Cooper’s murder.” (Ottawa Citizen.com)

The only video that has surfaced of Brad speaking to the media at this point is when he briefly spoke out to thank people for their search efforts. This was while the search for Nancy was still underway.

The video doesn’t give me much to go on. All I can say is that he is very nervous and appears to be under notable stress. The nerves and stress can come from speaking in front the news cameras, or it can be due to other reasons, such as foul play or deception. I can’t determine the cause from this video at this point because Brad doesn’t say anything noteworthy. I really need to see him talk about his wife and the crime to see if he is being deceptive or not.

While Brad’s actions are unusual, if he and his wife were truly in the process of separating, this would be an awkward situation for anyone to be in, if he is, in fact, innocent. So it is possible that he might withdraw as we are seeing, if there family tensions prior to the murder.

At this time, I haven’t seen Brad talk about his wife’s murder to make any opinions. What the media says about Brad doesn’t bode well for him and I acknowledge that, but I am not willing to draw anymore conclusions at this time.

If you see Brad talk about his wife’s murder, please let me know and I will glad share my thoughts.

Grandmother Cindy Anthony

/in /by

Many of you have been e-mailing me and questioning me about what I think when I watch Cindy Anthony, mother of jailed Casey Anthony, and grandmother of missing Caylee Anthony.

Many of you believe she is being dishonest and not genuine.

I have to disagree. When I watch Cindy speak in this video, she is genuine and true. I will review other videos if more questions arise.

She truly is concerned about her granddaughter’s safety. She is moved to tears, and she is choked up. This is not an act.

Cindy is also very scared, but holding herself together. She says she has a gut instinct that Caylee is alive, and I believe her when she says she has that gut instinct. People who are in tune with their intuition can have strong visceral feelings, and I believe Cindy has these.

Maybe Casey told her mother that she believes Caylee is alive, and Cindy is holding on that even with all the lies she has been told. We don’t know what transpired between these two that day.

I suspect that Cindy knows some things that she is not at liberty to say in this investigation publicly, but for the most part, I suspect Cindy is being genuine and truthful with us.

She wants Caylee home as soon as possible.

Casey and Caylee Anthony

/in /by

A reader has asked for my opinion on Casey Anthony. This is a strange and haunting story coming out of Orlando. Apparently, from what I read in the news, a 2-year-old little girl, Caylee, has been missing for five weeks, but her mother, Casey, never reported her missing.

The police have questioned Casey, but all they get are lies on top of more lies. Friends describe Casey as a “habitual” and “compulsive” liar (Fox News).

Casey is telling police that she left her daughter with a babysitter five weeks ago, and when she went to pick up her daughter, the babysitter and her daughter were gone, yet in a strange twist, she told no one. Instead, she continued on in life as if nothing was wrong. She lied to her family and friends until they became suspicious.

Read moreWhen police went to investigate the apartment where the babysitter supposedly was, they found a unit that has been vacant for months. Nothing is adding up.

Casey’s mother tried to track down the babysitter, and found her, but when the police asked her if she recognized photos of Casey and Caylee, and she said she did not.

I have been unable to find any video of Casey talking to police.

Police, however, are saying “It should be noted that at no time during any of the…interviews did the defendant show any obvious emotion as to the loss of her child.”

Clearly, anyone can see something is terrible amiss with this mother. Logically, one plus one doesn’t equal two. A mother who cares about her daughter would be concerned, would report her missing, and would tell the truth. But this is not happening with Casey.

Either Casey doesn’t care, or she is seriously ill, and suffers from a mental illness. Neither of which can be ruled out.

I don’t think I have anything noteworthy to contribute to this case at this time, but if anyone sees any video of Casey or anyone else important to this investigation talk, I’d be more than happy to share what I see. If I can help, I will gladly do so.

I did see some video footage of Casey online from Nancy Grace, and in that video Casey is gloating as the cameras pan on her as she is being led by police from one location to another (starting at time marker :05). Her eyes are glowing with excitement. She is clearly enjoying being in the spotlight, and being deceptive about her daughter.

Can we assume Casey killed her daughter? No, we can’t. A number of things could have happened to her daughter–many of which are horrible to think about, but Casey definitely knows the truth and she isn’t sharing it, and that doesn’t bode well for Caylee.

Ryan Ferguson Seeks New Trial

/in /by

This week there is a hearing going on for Ryan Ferguson. His attorneys are requesting a new trial because they say due process wasn’t followed, and he had ineffective assistance of counsel.

Ferguson’s defense team is putting forth some interesting information. Several new valuable pieces of information are being presented.

Read more

Shawna Ornt (a trib employee) testified that she repeatedly told then-Boone County Prosecutor Kevin Crane that a man she saw near the body was neither Ferguson nor Erickson. She said Crane scared her, and she did not know what she was allowed to say to attorneys or in the trial. So she did not tell anyone else during the trial or the deposition.

“He made me feel like I was wrong,” Ornt said of Crane. And Ornt did not tell Ferguson’s attorney because she didn’t know whether she was allowed to (source below).

Also during the trial, the janitor at the trib, Jerry Trump, pointed to Ferguson and said the man he and Ornt saw was Ferguson. But now the employee, Christine Varner, who got Trump the job is saying something different.

She (Varner) said Trump told her that he was standing in a lit dock area next to the Tribune’s building and roughly 30 feet from Heitholt’s car, and the two people were standing near the car in the dark, so he couldn’t identify them. Varner said after she saw coverage of the trial, where Trump pointed to Ferguson, she contacted the public defender’s office.

“It just bothered me,” she said (source below).

Also, a bouncer at the bar where Chuck Erickson said that he and Ferguson went to after the murder testifies that he has never seen the bar open as late as it would have been according to the testimony of Chuck Erickson.

And there is a more. A man by the name of Ronald Hudson, in the court paperwork, talks about running into a man named Clarence Mabon, who talked about being involved in an incident where a man got killed — in connection to the incident with the newspaper reporter.

Much of the testimony completely contradicts what Chuck Erickson wants us to believe, and gives doubt to the fact Ryan Ferguson was involved.

There is much more developing on this case, and I am thrilled to hear it. I have always believed Ryan Ferguson is innocent, and I have not believed Chuck Erickson’s story either. You can read my original opinion here from February of 2006.

Check out the details for yourself. There is a lot here!
