Detectives on Wednesday searched the house and vehicles belonging to a slain North Carolina mother and her husband.
Six bags of evidence were taken from the home on Wednesday afternoon.
Authorities launched a murder investigation a day earlier, after the body of 34-year-old Nancy Cooper was found in a Wake County, N.C. cul-de-sac, near where her husband said she'd gone jogging.
The search warrant includes the house that Nancy and Brad Cooper shared, their two vehicles and forensic evidence from Brad Cooper himself.

Nancy Cooper's parents Garry and Donna Rentz traveled from Canada over the weekend to assist in the search for the missing jogger, as did Cooper's twin sister Khrista Lister, her brother Jeff Rentz and her brother-in-law Jim Lister. Both Cooper and her husband are originally from Canada.
Though the family attended Wednesday's press conference, Bazemore said they are not ready to speak to the media.
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."

The mother of two small girls went for a routine run early Saturday morning but did not come home to meet friends as planned, her husband said.
Bazemore said Tuesday that medical examiners confirmed the identity of the body found the previous evening by a man walking his dog miles from Cooper’s home.
"The search for our Nancy is over," Bazemore said Tuesday. "Nancy was murdered and our investigation is now a homicide."
WHO WILL BE THE 'PERSON OF INTEREST' FOR THIS HOMICIDE?
