Novelist Nancy Brophy's romance novels are known as the "Wrong Series". They carry the tagline, "wrong never felt so right." As compelling as these sound, Nancy will almost certainly be remembered most for an article she published years before her husband's death, entitled, "How to Murder Your Husband"... By June 2018, Daniel and Nancy Brophy had been happily married for 25 years. At age 63, Daniel was a chef and culinary instructor at the Oregon Culinary Institute (OCI). He loved good food, gardens, chickens, his students and his wife. Nancy Brophy, 68 years old in 2018, had held a range of occupations over the years, from insurance agent, caterer and, most notably, romance writer. Nancy’s series of romance novels were not a great source of income. By 2016, the couple were reported to be having financial issues; pouring a significant amount of their income every month into a collection of about half a dozen insurance policies that Nancy had arranged. This particular “savings plan” as Nancy characterised it, was to become a great source of suspicion, when, on June 2, 2018, Daniel was found by his students, collapsed in the back kitchen of the culinary institute. When EMTs arrived on the scene they determined Dan had died of two gunshots; one to the back and one into his chest. As police and investigators empathised with Nancy, the grieving widow, they also began to look closer at the writer’s movements that morning. Security cameras from neighbouring buildings captured a minivan remarkably similar to the one that Nancy drove, making its way to the OCI and then leaving, right around the time of the murder. When Nancy follow's the advice she offers in her article, and moves to collect the large sum of life insurance within days of losing her husband, she becomes the prime suspect in Dan's murder.
