The Suspicious Death of Lisa Cooper

 

Lisa Cooper was found deceased at the scene of a suspicious car accident on October 14th, 2020. The 46 year-old woman lived in Adair County, Kentucky at the time of her death. According to the Kentucky State Police, Lisa was driving a Toyota Camry eastbound on KY 900 shortly before 4PM when her car crossed to the other side of the road and hit a log truck. The driver of the log truck received minor injuries, while Lisa was pronounced dead on the scene.

Local media has portrayed Lisa's death as the result of a tragic accident. However, there are many aspects of the case that are quite suspicious. Lisa was married to a man named Greg Cooper, who had a history of domestic violence and other violent behaviors. According to Lisa's daughter, Greg was abusive towards not only Lisa herself, but her son with autism as well. Just a month before Lisa's death, Greg had made comments about hoping that Lisa would die. He also behaved suspiciously shortly after Lisa's wreck. After first responders notified Greg about the crash, he showed up to the scene to get Lisa's purse and then left before any other family members arrived.  Greg also proceeded to either steal or sell everything that belonged to Lisa--despite the fact that Lisa had left her house and her other assets to her daughter. According the daughter, Greg also got back together with his ex-wife the very next day.

In addition to Greg's questionable behavior, there are many suspicious circumstances surrounding the crash itself. The truck driver who survived the wreck stated that Lisa's head was down before their vehicles collided--which suggests that Lisa was already dead before the crash. There was also apparently no blood inside Lisa's car following the crash, nor were there any signs that she had suffered a stroke or heart attack. Lisa did have a history of drug addiction, but had gotten sober before her death. It appears that investigators still do not have a clear picture of what, exactly, led up to the crash. Despite the local media's portrayal of the wreck being an accident, the case is actually still open. Still, no suspects or persons of interest have been named.

Lisa's daughter firmly believes that Greg was involved in Lisa's death, and she is hoping to someday receive answers about what truly happened. Greg reportedly refused to move out of the house following Lisa's death, despite the fact that it legally belonged to her daughter at that point. Her daughter eventually had to go to court to have him evicted. Greg is currently incarcerated on charges of having firearms as a convicted felon. 

Lisa's death remains unsolved. If you have any information that could help solve her case, please call 1-800-222-5555 to submit a tip.
