Brad Cooper, who is staying with friends and taking care of the couple's two daughters, Bella, 4, and Katie, 1 1/2, did not attend the conference, and Bazemore said that "he's been given an open invitation, as the rest of the family has. I do not know why he's not here."

Cooper's family files for custody of kids

By Mandy Locke, Staff Writer
Comment on this story

CARY - A judge ordered late yesterday that Nancy Cooper's two young daughters should stay with Nancy's father and sister.
Nancy Cooper's father Garry Rentz and her twin sister Krista Lister filed an emergency custody order just before 5 p.m. Wednesday. They said Bradley Cooper was not fit to care for the girls in the wake of Nancy's death.

The custody complaint sheds new light on suggestions that the Coopers' marriage was in turmoil.

In the complaint, Rentz and Lister allege that Bradley Cooper had been having an affair and that in the months leading up to Nancy's death, he'd been yelling at Nancy and belittling her in front of the children. The filing also alleges that Nancy Cooper never went out jogging the morning of July 12.

They also say in the petition that Bradley Cooper was emotionally unstable and "poses a danger to the physical safety of the minor children."

The husband of slain North Carolina mother Nancy Cooper has not been named a suspect in her killing, but the fact that a judge agreed with her family that Bradley Cooper &#8220;posed a danger&#8221; to their two children suggests police may be investigating the spouse, a legal expert said Friday.

&#8220;To take the kids away from a biological parent is a big deal,&#8221; NBC chief legal correspondent Dan Abrams told TODAY&#8217;s Natalie Morales. &#8220;It tells us that they&#8217;re looking at the husband.&#8221;
