true, but there could have been another reason why. just don't know yet.

I've done shopping late at night before, just recently did it, doesn't make me guilty of anything but not being able to sleep.

no one buys just bleach at 4am

at least not "normal people" with houses, jobs, and families

7/16/2008 1:54:42 PM

^^^yeah i used to do all of my grocery shopping at 4am b/c i couldn't sleep and it was a lot faster and less annoying not having to deal with people


^true...and it seems like if he did he would have said first thing "yes i did and this is why..." with some explanation or something

true.. buying JUST bleach is weird

but i mean if they've been having problems maybe he just couldn't sleep..

7/16/2008 1:56:13 PM

if he did buy bleach at 4 am and she went missing that morning...it's too suspect. if it's true then i def think it was him

7/16/2008 1:57:28 PM

panicking is a bitch

that's, just one of many reasons why you don't do really bad things

most people would never get away with it

either you'll do something stupid before, during, or after

crimes, white-collar or otherwise... just don't even think about 'em

If he was just not able to sleep and decided to buy some random thing as an excuse to get out of the house, then I can see that.

NCSUGirl83, I still do a lot of my grocery shopping at night, for those same reasons you said.

dunno, really hopin he didn't do it (for the daughters' sake).

I'M hoping it will be the husband.

because what freaks me out, is random violence where a jogger gets plucked off the road and killed for no reason. And it has nothing to do with white or black. (But just for the record, random serial murderers are overwhelmingly white.)

now what DOESNT freak me out, is when some jealous husband, terrified of facing an impending (or imagined) divorce/alimony/custody case, decides to kill his wife and make it look like it was a random act of violence and/or disappearance.

what generally happens is a case that initially appears as the former, winds up quickly becoming a case of the latter.

i do feel bad for the woman -- and i feel terrible for the kids -- but this is the resolution where i can sleep better at night. it affects one family. the random murder alternative, affects everyone: our whole society.

"i mean, it's pretty simple.. if she wasn't wearing jogging clothes when she was found dead, he was lying. and i bet she wasn't"

agreed.

about not worrying when a loved one is gone for a few hours....she was expected home around 9am and then was to go to a friend's house. if he was concerned after not seeing her, you would think he would have called the friend's house to say, "hey i haven't seen my wife, is she with you?"

the husband not showing up to press conferences at the last minute....sketch. if he did do it, it sounds like he has a guilty conscience.

i'm still banking on, she went home not feeling well, he came home later (there could have been some drinking at the get together they were at), they got into an argument (maybe about her leaving the party), and she was accidentially killed. the husband freaked, dumped the body in the middle of the night, bought bleach, tried to "clean up," and then the next morning claimed she went for a run. i mean he could have even gone as far as changing her clothes into a running outfit to make it seem like she did.

i'm not trying to point fingers here but......things aren't lookin too good for the husband.

This. And it's completely ridiculous what the police keep telling the media. Over the past few days I've heard:

"This is an isolated incident"
"This was not a random act of violence"

The first statement was before they found the body, the second was shortly after they identified the body. Just stuff they say to keep people from worrying when the truth of the matter is that they have no way of knowing until they discover who the killer was.

"Don't worry, nothing to see here. Move along"

7/16/2008 5:37:40 PM

^ maybe the police knew more than just what they told the press?

stranger things have happened.

^^ Cass, i read somewhere that she was telling him she wanted him to move out of the house. we don't need to have drinking or arguments or even an accident.

^ yea i heard she was wanting him to move out of the house as well. did the wral comments thread say anything about an affair? i've heard so much crap (because of where i work) but its like, everyone is suddenly bff with the family at a time like this but i don't think the people that are ACTUALLY close to them would be saying personal things. esp things that could compromise the investigation. so...who knows.

7/16/2008 8:23:08 PM

oh man the comment section of wral is going all to hell. its almost crazy. I finally read them all, that's where the whole "buying bleach at 4am" thing started.

at the entire wral comments board; they're batshit crazy.

and yes, if I was paying the bills and she wanted me out, I say damn that; she can leave.

7/16/2008 9:12:22 PM

we got the same problem here, with the Seattle paper. their website for "comments" section is full of the most outrageous batshit lunatics i've ever fucking seen, on the left and on the right, and in the middle.

its so painful to try read the comments section of newspaper forums, i don't even bother anymore. ... so everything i know about this cary jogger case, ive gotten from mainstream media articles and this website.

its just amazing that TWW is more rational and thoughtful than the comment boards of major newspapers. but i guess i shouldnt be surprised.

oh i agree.....but i was speculating on the terms that they were at a neighborhood get together that night before. not saying they were drinking but its a possibility.

7/16/2008 10:08:56 PM

fox news is covering the story right now and is interviewing the lady who reported her missing

7/16/2008 10:09:49 PM

^^ okay, yeah, i guess i can see that too. its not hard to imagine how something like that could happen and get out of control. especially when (if) alcohol's involved.

and i agree with raiden's sentiment: "IF" my wife and I were having marital problems ... and "especially IF" she were having an affair... AND she wanted ME to move out yet i was the one paying >50% of the bills... I'd be like "fuck that", too.

but, OTOH, maybe he cheated on her first, maybe he's been a total psycho or abusive or just a general loser abusing drugs or alcohol... a bad influence on the children ... in that case, she would have every right to make him leave for the children's sake.

whatever it was, it's too bad things didnt get worked out like they should have.

and yes, i'm pretty convinced he did it. if only because i have like 99% of historical probability on my side.

that's all any of this is - speculation. i stopped reading the news after they determined it was her body because i knew the media would be hurrying to get out the latest "breaking news" only to make the story more convoluted. the way people latch onto the details and try to convict a man before he's even been named a suspect is sickening, but i know this country truly runs on a "guilty until proven innocent" process. i know brad and i'm holding out all hope that he's innocent.

7/16/2008 10:16:27 PM

its just that wral comments section is going batshit over the warrant to search the home and warrant for brad to give up dna and for cary pd wrapping the home in crime scene tape.

I don't really find any of that to be all that sensational, to me it just seems like normal shit they (CPD) would do in a murder investigation. Of course the husband is gonna get looked at, hell, that's probably number 1 in the cop's playbook. after he's cleared then they go out and look for other people.

that's they way I understand it anyways.

7/16/2008 10:24:15 PM

hehe.. ah well, like everyone else, though, i want this resolved ASAP. and fwiw, i think those commenting on WRAL's stories are the worst. "batshit crazy" is an understatement

7/16/2008 10:25:21 PM

they (cops) have stated that over and over on the news. they need to rule him out and that's what they're trying to do.

7/16/2008 10:28:18 PM

raiden is right.

its a fact that every law enforcement agency knows, from the FBI on down .... the most likely perpetrator in a suspicious death is a friend or family member.

it might as well be a law, because it's been tried and true ever since there was law enforcement to keep track of it.

it's the way the world is, and you'd be a fool to bet against it.

this must be really awkward for brad, especially if he didn't do it. imagine it. because just as many of us here and the crazies on the wral board have thought it i'm sure many of their neighborhood "friends" have thought the same. I guess its in times like these you learn who your true friends are and hopefully you don't ruin that by being a murdering husband.
