Daniel Brophy: The Chef Killed by His Romance Novelist Wife

Daniel Brophy was a beloved chef and culinary instructor in Portland, Oregon. On June 2, 2018, he was found shot to death inside his classroom at the Oregon Culinary Institute. The investigation led to his wife, Nancy Crampton Brophy, a romance novelist who had once written an essay titled "How to Murder Your Husband." Evidence included gun parts purchased online, life insurance policies, and surveillance footage. In May 2022, Nancy was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. This case proves that sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction.
