In what one reporter described as a three-ring circus containing Brad Cooper’s lawyers and a gaggle of international media and curious bystanders, a press conference took place in a small public park in Raleigh, N.C. Friday.

The scrum was organized by Cooper’s lawyers Seth Blum and Howard Kurtz to address rumours that have been buzzing around the city since the mysterious death of his wife Nancy whose lifeless body was found on Tuesday.

The Medicine Hat-raised Cooper has not been named a suspect nor a person of interest by police in the case that saw his wife reported missing one week ago today.

Police in Cary, N.C. – a suburb of Raleigh where the couple lived with their two daughters – stated that Nancy was reported missing by a friend late Saturday and that her husband last saw her that day at 7 a.m.
Brad Cooper’s attorney Seth Blum read from a prepared statement during the press conference in which he said they were speaking to the press because of the bizarre unsubstantiated theories surrounding the case.

“(Brad Cooper) has been very, very clear with the police. He did not kill his wife,” said Blum.

The media were given the opportunity to ask questions but, according to one veteran local reporter, it descended into an amateur attempt at a press conference.

Blum refused to identify the theories revolving around the case nor the items that have been reported in the American press which he considers incorrect.

As Cooper’s lawyers attempted to leave the conference on foot back to their office two blocks away, reporters continued to fire questions at the besieged attorneys – causing a traffic jam as they crossed the street.

Nancy Cooper’s father and identical sister were awarded joint custody of the couple’s two children by a judge in North Carolina on Thursday.
