The trial of a romance novelist who once wrote a book titled "How to Kill Your Husband" began Monday, April 4, in Oregon.
Nancy Crumpton-Brophy, 71, is accused of fatally shooting her husband, chef Daniel Brophy, in June 2018 to receive life insurance, which is worth more than $1.5 million.
According to the Independent, Brophy's body was found by a co-worker in a kitchen at the Oregon Culinary Institute with two gunshot wounds, one to his back and another to his chest.
The day after his death, Nancy Crampton-Brophy had written on Facebook, "I have sad news to tell you. My husband and best friend, Chef Daniel Brophy was killed yesterday morning. For those of you who are close to me and feel he deserved a phone call, you are right, but I am struggling to understand."
How she was betrayed
Crampton-Brophy testified to police that she was at their home when her husband was killed, but a video taken near the crime scene showed her driving her minivan at the time of his death.
She was eventually arrested in September 2018 and pleaded not guilty to all charges against her.
Crampton-Brophy was once a prolific novelist who published books such as "The Wrong Lover," The Wrong Husband" and in 2011 wrote the essay "How to Kill Your Husband."
"As a romantic suspense writer, I spend a lot of time thinking about murder and, consequently, the police procedural," she wrote. He added: "It's easier to wish people dead than to actually kill them. But what I do know about murder is that each of us has it in us when it goes to the extreme."
The couple's iTunes account had noted an article titled "Ten Ways to Cover Up a Murder".
