Murder of Daniel Brophy

Daniel Brophy was found dead from a gunshot at the Oregon Culinary Institute in Portland, Oregon on June 2, 2018. The death was investigated as a homicide.[1] In 2020, after finding traffic camera footage showing his wife, Nancy Crampton Brophy, driving to and then departing from the culinary school during a 13-minute window when the homicide happened, prosecutors alleged that she killed him for several life insurance policies totaling around $1.5 million.[2] Crampton Brophy was the author of novels and essays including How to Murder Your Husband and The Wrong Husband. She went on trial for his murder in April, 2022.[3][4][5]
