closeCARY -- Friends of Nancy Cooper are being asked to prove everything they have claimed about her troubled marriage.
According to court records, attorneys for Bradley Cooper have ordered his wife's friends to turn over their diaries, appointment books, phone records, pictures and anything else that might back up statements they made in affidavits filed after Nancy Cooper's death. Friends claimed that Bradley Cooper was emotionally unstable, unfaithful and had been very controlling and demeaning to his wife.
Nancy Cooper disappeared July 12. A walker found her body two days later, dumped in an undeveloped area of a subdivision near her Cary home.

No one has been charged in her death. Search warrants released last week reveal that Cary police were suspicious enough of Bradley Cooper that in the days following his wife's death, they searched his computer for research queries on how to dispose of a body.
Bradley Cooper is embroiled in a custody battle for his two daughters. Nancy Cooper's parents and her sister have custody of her two daughters, ages 4 and 2, under a temporary agreement. A judge will be asked to review that custody arrangement at a hearing next month.
More than a dozen of Nancy Cooper's friends challenged the subpoenas ordering them to turn over their personal information, saying the requests placed an undue burden and were unreasonable or oppressive.
