to get her away from her troubles, nancy s family took her and the girls on vacation. how was it in the end when you had to say good-bye? heartbreaking. i had nancy in my arms in the airport in charlotte, and she was sobbing. and she said, mom, i just want to come home. and i ll never forget that day. it was the last time they saw her alive. and now that she was dead, nancy s family was sure brad had to be involved somehow. but detective daniels knew the demise of a marriage, bitter though it may have been, did not prove murder. there was a lot more work to do. statistics say we should go back and key on the husband, things like that. and we re not going to walk away from that. at the same time, we re letting the investigation lead us wherever it goes.
there were reports from people who said they saw a woman who looked like nancy running that saturday morning. one man said he watched her for a good 30 seconds, then saw a van make a u-turn to follow her. and there were other reports of mysterious vans. friday night, one sped away from a cul-de-sac with no light pops could any of this be tied to her killer? not walk away from anything at this point. everything becomes important. like conversations with her husband brad that weekend of the search. brad told detectives he and nancy were up at 4:00 a.m. saturday to calm their crying 2-year-old katie. then 6:00 or so, he made two trips to the grocery store after which nancy announced she was off to run. we went to find the video records of him going in and out of the store which we found. but one of those talks with brad struck detective daniels as odd when he asked brad, did you contact nancy s family? he had told us no, but it could be because he s frantic
