I don't know how much authority anyone would have to keep him from going to Canada for the service unless he was formally charged, but I do have to wonder if Canada has a law against extraditing people to a state with the death penalty.

So, the tax value of most homes went up and maybe they had the line of equity adjusted to reflect that.

Thanks for all of the insightful comments on this board!

I am eagerly awaiting the 4pm news conference as well.

Thanks very much for that info carolinalady! There was quite a bit of speculations about that! And.....Welcome!

CyberPro -- I've never named my kids or have posted any of their photos to any of my blogs for the reasons that you cite.

PS) Judging from some of the things posted in this forum, you've also got to wonder about the future of social networking.

DianeB said of the link Brad named "The Adventures of Brad"

Thanks for posting this. Did you notice he used the word "plan" 14 times in that one fairly short account?

This guy is extremely detail-oriented, down to recommending which floor of the hotel to stay on, and in which direction to sit to watch on-screen presentations.

If he is guilty of killing his wife, I think it would have been highly planned in advance (although maybe he forgot to check the family's bleach supply...)

Sharp eyes Diane! I didn't notice that, but I noticed his details sure enough. Reminds me of my mother in law, hahaha. I drive her crazy!

Regarding who ended up calling the police Sat afternoon. I think Mrs Adams said that after she and Brad discussed Nancy missing, that he agreed with her that the police should be called. That was discussed and it was (mutually) agreed that when they hung up she would call. She did. Then she called Brad back and they discussed that call. Doesn't anyone else remember this?

I'm glad there are folks here who have experience with passports. Their input has helped me understand how important this knowledge is within this case.

I don't remember that at all. All I remember is Mrs Adams had an odd feeling after talking with Brad on the phone. So she called LE. He was off supposedly looking for Carrie's number.

BTW, I'm a new poster; I've been a sporadic lurker on this board since Michelle Young.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned (I saw some of Wade Smith's former clients listed) Alice Stubbs is a former Wake County District Judge. Part of that time (maybe 3 years) was over Family Court.

I don't think they discussed calling the police at all, at least not that has been mentioned in the press?
First she called the husband to ask where Nancy was and he said she'd gone out running with 'Carrie'. Then he called the friend, and asked if she knew how to get in touch with Carrie. She said no, he said that he would continue to look for Carries number and they hung up.
That was when the friend (Mrs Adams) decided to call police.

Again..I am wondering, if by any chance the Carrie at the bottom left of the page is the one she may have been going to run with just a thought.

She may have known her because she graduated with Brad.http://www.mgt.ncsu.edu/profiles/stu...ll07/index.php

I agree... I was just hypothisizing what possible defense strategy he would use...

It doesn't look like she was in the MBA program. He looks like he has a graduate hood, but she doesn't. The bachelor's program is much larger and I wouldn't think would be very familiar w/ MBA candidates.

Secondly, if you go on further down on the page there is a "carrie" who was in his class. Could this have been the friend she was going to go jogging with? Just a long shot..but it peaked my interest in many ways.http://www.mgt.ncsu.edu/profiles/stu...ll07/index.php

interesting! He just graduated. His suicide attempt was reported as being around that time. A little stress from his thesis perhaps LOL

This is how I remember it too. A few posts up I was making reference to Brad taking too much time to call Nancys' family. By the time the local LE's were called and they called him...it would have been at this point that I would have fully expected Brad to contact her family and say...hey just wanted you to know xyz". Can anyone find that?

I'm trying to find the link for the custody petition and the item that they mentioned...I think there was something about the time lapse in which they found out...and we know his family wasn't even informed until after that.

The only report that I heard about this was to say that Brad told Mrs. Adams that he was going to look for "Carrie's" phone number. When Mrs. Adams hung up, she decided to call police. I never heard that she told Brad of her intentions, or discussed calling the police with him. IMO, one reason she was concerned enough to call police was due to Brad's nonchalance about her whereabouts.

piedmontmom · #**266** 07-18-2008, 08:03 PM

Has there been any mention about the level of support Brad got from Nancy regarding his iron man training?

I'm curious how big of a bone of contention this was for them, especially since she also trains for marathons.

In my house it would be problematic, but I know households where both spouses are very athletic.

SuziQ...hey there good buddy! That was the way I remember it too. Interviews with the friend were also sort of cryptic making me think more was said than what is being reported

I wonder if Mr. Brad will be going to Canada for his wife's funeral. Has anyone mentioned this?

I am thinking she was beat. I read on Fox where one of the lawyers( I believe it was one of Brad's lawyer's too) said something like, We will find out who attacked nancy."

thanks for the link...maybe I can get at a tidbit that's bugging me

Or, ..........something like that.

He was making excuses for Brad hiding behind the closed doors.

Well, I sure as heck hope he didn't expect it to stop us!

As far as I know Canada won't extradite if the DP is possible, so I would think if LE intends to arrest him they'd do so before he had the opportunity to go there. Even if they don't seek the DP in this case, it still would be much easier than to try to get him back from there.

You mean like the one about the band of gypsies who could've camped on that desolate cul-de-sac? The ones who are on a cross-country murder spree with each victim looking like an isolated incident?
