The husband of a Wake County woman found beaten to death in her home last month was having a "relationship" with a Florida woman in the months leading up to his wife's death, according to search warrants made public late Wednesday.

The warrants also show that Wake County sheriff's investigators have found Jason Lynn Young "uncooperative" with their efforts to determine who killed his wife, Michelle Fisher Young. She was found dead in the couple's home at 5108 Birchleaf Drive near Lake Wheeler on Nov. 3.

No one has been charged.

According to the search warrants, Jason Young was in almost daily contact with Michelle Money of Ocoee, Fla., by phone or e-mail in the three months before his wife's death. Investigators seized two cell phones from Jason Young's Ford Explorer and asked the phone companies to turn over call records and voice mail on the accounts, according to the warrants.

The warrants also show that investigators seized several records related to travel by Jason Young, including a US Airways baggage claim ticket and a receipt for a United Airlines flight to Denver in October. Other seized items include Young's credit card statement, a computer hard drive and file folders containing a will, insurance information and other papers.

Young's sister, Meredith Fisher, told investigators that Jason Young had left a voice-mail message asking her to stop by the Young home to retrieve a document from a computer printer. When she arrived, Fisher found Michelle Young cold and bloody, along with the couple's young daughter unharmed.

Investigators say there was no sign that anyone had broken into the house.
