Sybill Sherperd stars in a movie about this crime. "How to Murder Your Husband, The Nancy Brophy Story." It's very well done and respectful. R.I.P Dan 🕊 🕯
This is how a documentary showing respect to the victim and family. This is how documentaries should be made - no background music! Rest in peace poor Dan! 😢
It’s because they have one job to do, extracting relevant information to get police and medical help there as soon as possible. One minute can make the difference between life and death.
@@Lunchladydoyle that’s not what he’s saying. If you’ve listened to a lot of 911 calls you’ll come across TONS where they are incredibly obnoxious while also asking much less important questions early on. It happens a lot. I just heard 2. One with a women making the call from a bedroom with her sleeping captive and another from a girl hiding in a closet while people are breaking into her house and at one point one of them gets frustrated and tells the girl to speak up and another time keeps asking irrelevant questions after being told she can’t talk cause they’ll hear her. All of that was after the dispatchers already had the address.
agreed! 99% of people would immediately ask how bad it was or how their mate was doing upon hearing they were shot, not try to guess the type of gun...
That alone and her talking and telling lighthearted stories about him for 10 minutes before asking about the murder made it obvious she did it, no concern or sadness or empathy in her voice nor asking if he suffered... amazing
That 911 call was heartbreaking 💔 to hear his student crying and still rendering aid and the caller showing so much support . The operator was AMAZING also , very patient , calm and helpful
Oh boy this phone call from her to the investigator to get a letter for the insurance company saying she wasn’t a suspect was SOOO cringy it was hard to listen to haha
I’ve seen the trial… and the poor girl doing the chest compression in the process broke his ribs, it must’ve been hysterical and horrific for her. But during the trial Nancy said that she was being a drama queen. Because the girl was explaining how horrible it was and she was crying and dramatic and Nancy claimed he was being a drama queen and she really didn’t care. And I thought that was horrible. Nancy was very cold about that poor girl just like she was called about shooting her husband. She deserves the rest of her life in prison as she is
This woman is just wicked. In her world she has a harem of navy seals fanning her on a tropical island. She had a decent, honest and hardworking husband she didn't deserve. That awful, empty laugh during her time on the stand was awful. She thought of herself as an accomplished writer, but her books didn't sell well. I think she was jealous of Dan's success and how much people admired him.
@@wsidechris +++ That was funny lol " Her books didn’t sell " My brother was a CEO at Harlequin Romance novels and he said that few even make $ 25,000 on a book.
@@wsidechrisno it isn’t. If you say “they didn’t sell,” then none were sold. If you say they didn’t sell “well,” that implies that some books were sold. That isn’t redundant.
Oh boy!! Just listening to how Nancy talked to everyone, particularly on the phone, really seriously irked me, BUT.....there's no doubt that she certainly talked her way into being the prime suspect!! A pure narcissist who thinks she's above the rest of us. YUK!!!
It was like she just wanted the thrill of living out what she had written in the blog. Maybe she was living out a novel she planned to write. She didn't even seem to be trying to outwit investigators. She seemed to be leading them to her because she relished the attention; or, maybe it was her way of taunting them, thinking no jury would convict a sweet old lady.
@@JosephKulik2016 Actually her explanation makes perfect sense. All narcissists have an insatiable need for attention. Psychologists call it fuel. If a narcissist can’t get “ fuel “ from positive means, they will settle for negative attention. And yes, even if that leads to their own self destruction. This is why narcissists pick fights with people around them. We had a narcissist in our family that we had to protective orders on because they couldn’t stand being ignored ( grey rocked ) so they would stalk and harass us. They are so lost when they’re not being worshipped, obeyed and waited on hand and foot they will break a no contact order and get themselves arrested just to know they are the center of your day. I’ve experienced it and seen it happen with my own eyes. I believe she killed him for greed, but her need for fuel was what cause her to talk her way into being arrested.
She asking for a letter from detectives in order to collect insurance money was it for me! She is a mean person! She never showed any emotion for the loss of her well loved (by others!) husband! Kevin is a great narrator and his calm demeanor and beautiful voice are surely great assets for the channel!
It just goes to show her greed. The 40k insurance policy was the smallest one she had Dan. None of the other insurance companies wanted a "letter of proof" & they were way over 40k. Smh money is definitely the root to all evil.
@@Army4life82it’s “the love of money is the root of all evil.” Money itself is generally a good thing, allowing it to control your life is were it gets bad.
For once, the 911 operator sounded professional and compassionate. Chef Brophy seemed like such a great person. His students sounded like they were fighting so hard to keep him here💔😥
I watched the entire trial, I never doubted from day 3 that she was guilty. Her biggest mistake was taking the stand. Her second mistake was telling a fellow prisoner how she shot him, it’s going to make a great movie 🍿. The saddest part is was Dan was such a caring passionate man who fed the homeless & loved chooks. Too his son & parents who loved him dearly their loss left them devastated
She didn't tell a fellow inmate she shot him. Assuming you can trust the word of the other convict at all, she clearly meant "Dan was shot from a few feet away" not "I was a few feet away"
@@countdowntorevolution9986 The fact she wrote about killing him in a similar way, plus she shouldn't have got on the stand. She comes across as controlling, and very egotistical. Shes was more concerned about her self and her image, than her husband.
@@countdowntorevolution9986 Given the evidence of the security camera footage and how she was seen slowly driving past OCI several times after the point where she thought Dan should have arrived, it's clear she did it. Did you even SEE her testimony? She's guilty.
Dan sounds like he was such a kind man. I will never understand crimes like this. My husband died of cancer and I would give anything to have him back. I would give everything we owned for just one more day. She was a stupid, evil woman.
I knew she was guilty as soon as she started over explaining things and giving answers/ explanations for things that nobody asked her. She did it when she mentioned the AR15, when asking how the shooter got in, when they asked if they owned a firearm, and when she called the detective about the insurance, just to name a few!
Who the hell, upon being informed that their husband has been shot asks if it was an AR15? WT actual F? And her little jokes , she's cracking with officers at a time like that? Damn , I knew after hearing that call!
I've met people who over explaining things totally unnecessarily. A past co-worker had a very hard time finding a job because of that. She could turn a yes/no question into a 5 minute conversation. But she's one of the most kindest, simple person ever. Definitely not manipulative.
I worked with a private investigator (husband) for 10 years and saw this every, single, time. Q - what kind of pickup was it? A - when I was a kid my uncle had an old green ford and us kids used to pretend to drive it. It didn’t run, it was parked in the old orchard we used to play in. You know, climbing trees, forts, eating the fruit. Anyway, we always said when we grew up we wanted to have an old truck like that one. Q - so was it an old ford? A - No. We were in his wife’s white mini van …
Likely gabbing how she’s *innocent* and cannot believe how she was wrongly convicted to any fellow convict who will listen to her mindless blasphemy. She’s gross. I hope she never gets out of jail. Or if she does, it’s because it was just her time to go. (As in RIP)
She's straight up plucked from a horror movie, she's the landlord who shows you around the estate and warns you not to open a particular door, and lives in the grounds with her husband and mute daughter! lol
that's very true but then again you can be closed to some couples and know that they are meant for each other and are happy... it's not always drama and ugly scenes behind doors
@@cats.addict6457 I'll say it again. Couples can show you whatever they want in public, but unless I'm a fly on the wall when no one is around them, I'm sticking with my statement. I've seen too many crime shows.
@@peggystoutemorin4529 ok ok ok, no need to be annoyed. I also watch des tons de TrueCrime, European/American/but also Asia where I live for 35 years... and I still believe that some couples are the exact same outside than behind doors... Btw I am also 63 years old, have seen a lot, the good the bad and the ugly...
This video is well done. I like how well put together your story is. Good job! 👍 I think one of the most damning pieces of evidence against her was her feigned ignorance about guns in that first police interview. "The shooter thingy..." Really?! C'mon man! If she was writing stories about murdering people, she knew the name of "the shooter thingy"!
I know, right?! She comes off as “I’m so naive, quirky and funny, you can’t possibly think I’m guilty”! But she grates. The police interviewers deserve hazard pay for dealing with her for a prolonged period of time!
My husband and I have been married for 32 years, together for 35 we are in our 60’s have raised 5 children and happily married. How a person could even think that money is happier than your spouse is just mind boggling.
I'm with you! My husband of 33 years died from cancer. Life is horrible without him. I'd give anything to have him back and look what this stupid horrible woman did to her husband!
Nancy Hateful Brophy clearly did not love her husband -- she both used and resented him. Anyone who is capable of planning on ending the life of another human being for money isn't capable of love.... PERIOD. She is a sociopath.
Ha ha, it’s so true. Whenever I hear the old “I blacked out/memory gap” defence, I always roll my eyes and groan out loud. I mean, come on, it’s not something that EVER ever happens in any other context other than a criminal trial. When you catch up with friends, and ask them how their week has been, you NEVER hear them say - “oh, I’ve had a great week except for that part where, on Wednesday I apparently went shopping for groceries, returned home and only then did I realise that I’d totally blanked out the last couple of hours and I couldn’t work out where all the food and vegetables came from.” I mean if someone said that to me I’d be suggesting that they seek medical attention as soon as possible. I’d suspect some kind of brain tumour or dissociative disorder. I mean, come on, unless it’s backed up with impartial medical evidence, I just don’t think that “I have amnesia and don’t remember/memory gap” should still be allowed in modern day court rooms. To me it just always screams that that person is guilty.
Awesome!! RUclips suggested this episode and decided to give your channel a try… what a nice surprise… interesting case, well researched and an excellent narration by the host. New subscriber.

It’s a bullshit excuse for sure, but it’s commonly used in court or interrogation because you can’t prove what someone does or doesn’t remember. It’s all about what you can prove.
This was interesting. I also watched an analysis of Nancy's body language during her trial testimony done by The Behavior Panel, which was fascinating. It was surprising that they were paying $1000/month for life insurance - especially when he only earned $34,000/year.
What an interesting story, this woman is a character and definitely not your average boring one.. I guess she thought that as a writer, she knew enough details to prevent being caught in the event she would kill her husband. That's such a sad way for a good man who still had many years to go to finish killed by the person he was happily married for more than 2 decades... Tks a lot for this excellent video, kindly let us know if or when you hear of the result of the appeal I hope you are Resting In Peace Dan!...
Because she is a psycopath and a narcissist.. she thinks she is so smart and convincing to everyone… but it is the opposite .. she said many things , her body language and attitude in general screams guilty … very obvious
I went to insurance school and learned about term insurance and whole life insurance, but not what ever she was explaining. What type of insurance policy is that?
This is my first time listening to your channel and you are really good. I like your voice. No hysterical tones, dramatic words. Excellent voice and straight forward telling of this story. That woman is a fruit cake. I immediately thought she was guilty. Keep up the great work! I'm a new sub as of now.
She hadn't planned on being caught on camera driving away after shooting him. She thought she had fooled LE about changing up the Glock. What an ego! She even thought she could fool the detective in writing a letter saying she wasn't a suspect by making up a story that one of their life insurance companies required that to pay her...geez!!! She made a lot of mistakes, as most do (thankfully) in family or friend murders. Easier to catch them then. As a true crime follower, the only people that "might" get away with murders are total strangers to the victim, or like in the Delphi murders of Libby German & Abby Williams, a total stranger hiding behind an internet login ID that corresponded with them (Anthony_shots). Poor guy...he seemed like a nice guy who did a lot of good and was well respected in his field of expertise...didn't even see it coming, sadly. Pretty cold to kill your husband point blank who was good to you. God bless.
I particularly like the length of your videos. I often skip over ones where I see an hour or hour and a half. You give the whole story. Concise and no drama or dramatic music! ❤
In the trial she said some really derogatory remarks about the trauma that the student/s witnessed about that clearly showed that she did not care one single bit about that.
That whole story about her and Dan having multiple conversations about buying a gun over the course of months, finally deciding to spend hundreds of dollars (during the holidays no less) on a gun when they’re not even paying their mortgage, and immediately deciding maybe they should sell it since neither one liked it is BEYOND LUDICROUS. “We bought a gun for protection and it didn’t do its job!” 🤢🤮
Idk how I missed this notification but, I just got done watching Dreading 👀 who did a 2 1/2 hour deep dive on the case, 2 of my top 5 channels hitting me with the masterful content. I always look forward to your take on cases Kevin, you always give me something to think about. 🤔
Kevin, what an amazing video. This woman took an amazing man’s life for no reason. I hope that she will enjoy whatever sentence she gets. She is a full-on narcissist.
I will never understand how people like her kill off good spouses for money or other lovers.This day and age if you find a good person your lucky,i cannot fathom how ppl choose money over people
Hands down the best coverage I've seen of this case to date. I have watched other details that may have swayed my opinions on this case, but you have uncovered more evidence and videos that now actually make me think... you have succeeded in your quest! Thank you for your unbiased, professional, and meaningful representation of this case, and all the others. You have an excellent future in true crime and I hope your channel takes off. I will be truly bummed when I get to the end of videos you have released so far. Again, thank you for your hard work, and for being the voice these victims deserve. I hope you can do unsolved/ missing persons cases as I think your unbiased style and attention to detail will go far in lighting a fire under the ones that need more attention, watching from 🇨🇦⚘️
A story of a remarkable man who blindly loved a unremarkable and evil woman. I've never seen such a humble chef and teacher. He sounded so interesting, so generous and his students loved him more than his wife ever could. It's sad he probably knew she betrayed him in his last seconds on earth. RIP Chef Dan❤ Glad she won't ever be out of prison. Justice on earth and after life
Thank you for covering this case. The trial footage has been in my newsfeed but I didn't watch it. I'd be alarmed if my spouse decided we need multiple life insurance policies- especially if we were having financial issues!
This channel is supreme. every story is told with such straight facts and no opinion, but so entertaining. I love your channel so much! I listen while I work. Keep up the great work👍🏻
Viewing this video I can now say I've seen every video you've produced. I like your channel and the way you speak. You have a good writing style. Great channel bud.
15 seconds into her blabbering and I already know she is a sociopath and she did it. What I don't understand is how a good man could have possibly lived with her for 25 years.
WoW I'm speechless this world is so messed up¿?? people are just going crazy sad times 🪶🪔😥💔♾️thank you for your excellent show your compassion helps🙏🏿🙏🏽🙏🏼
@@francesglenn2117 He just showed what a troll he is. He probably didn't even watch this story. If he had he would have something to comment about other than SAYING NOTHING !!
Did you catch that smirk on her face at what looked like a memorial service?? Like wow I really got away with it! I remember watching some of her testimony. She was the most annoying yapper I’ve heard in my life!! She just thought she would charm and talk herself out of trouble. Thank god for video!! Imagine the unsolved crimes before tape! 😮
I love these stories of people who think they can get away with the perfect crime. So based on this story, I would have checked the car route to verify if any cameras and find one that didn’t have any and also dispose of the old laptop that the searches were done on. It was on the shelf in a closet anyways.. As I type this, I realize that I am listening to way too much true crime that my kind can think this way.. lol.
It amazes me how so many people can't comprehend that old people were once young people. With that, you don't become a good or innocent person just based on age, Its character!
Great job Kevin, as usual!! Did I miss it? I don't remember hearing what sentence she received? Great job and I agree with one of the comments below. She was a not so clever narcissist who love to hear herself talk and thought she was smarter than everyone else.
That quote at the end, about being careful what you wish for, because when the Gods are truely angry they grant us our wishes... I have thought that too about a relationship I eventually escaped. It sounds like she was long aware of a major discord in their life-style and plans, their way of being. But instead of having courage to move on, she got greedy and selfish.
With her act of being an amusing person I think she could fool people on the outside about her true feelings. That comment makes me speculate about the reason for her dissatisfaction, from the trivial to the bizarre.
@@dianecripps204I think with her crappy romance novels she’s delusional and sees herself as the young, beautiful and slim heroines of her novels desired by the hunks she writes about. All the things that she is not. She was married to a kind and caring man but couldn’t be happy with or value what she had, she wanted the unrealistic fantasy
This is why we need to start taking certain things seriously. The fact that she was able to write that article and nobody called red flag on her character is crazy. Normal people don’t fantasize about murders.

I haven't gotten through the entire video yet, but it was comforting to hear a compassionate 911 operator.
What convinced me of her guilt is how she admitted that the woman driving the car and wearing the same outfit like her and looked like her.
I knew she was guilty as soon as she started over explaining things and giving answers/ explanations for things that nobody asked her. She did it when she mentioned the AR15, when asking how the shooter got in, when they asked if they owned a firearm, and when she called the detective about the insurance, just to name a few!
Exactly- that’s why she tried to make it clear that yes she bought a gun but NEVER even really touch it nor bought bullets for it… 🤦🏻♀️🙄.
They always do that over explanation 😮

Likely gabbing how she’s *innocent* and cannot believe how she was wrongly convicted to any fellow convict who will listen to her mindless blasphemy. She’s gross. I hope she never gets out of jail. Or if she does, it’s because it was just her time to go. (As in RIP)
She's straight up plucked from a horror movie, she's the landlord who shows you around the estate and warns you not to open a particular door, and lives in the grounds with her husband and mute daughter! lol
Right!!!🤣🤣🤣
She reminds me of the character Annie Wilkes from the movie misery evil deviant sadistic & just plain batshzz delusional
Seriously 😳😳😳
😂😂😂😂
Exactly 😮
That woman talking about what a wonderful marriage they had? Lady, the only people who know about the state of a marriage are the two people in it.
So true !
that's very true but then again you can be closed to some couples and know that they are meant for each other and are happy... it's not always drama and ugly scenes behind doors
@@cats.addict6457 I'll say it again. Couples can show you whatever they want in public, but unless I'm a fly on the wall when no one is around them, I'm sticking with my statement. I've seen too many crime shows.
@@peggystoutemorin4529 ok ok ok, no need to be annoyed. I also watch des tons de TrueCrime, European/American/but also Asia where I live for 35 years... and I still believe that some couples are the exact same outside than behind doors...
Btw I am also 63 years old, have seen a lot, the good the bad and the ugly...
@@cats.addict6457 Who's annoyed? Don't read into my reply what was never intended.
A narcissist who's thinks she is charming, funny and that she can talk her way out of trouble. Reminds me of someone I know.
Exactly, the biggest give away was her wanting to get on the stand. She just had to have her say.
Spot on thought exact same thing!!
Is her name Katie??
She gives cringe new meaning.
You know one narcissist? I wish I only knew one, I have a family full of them.
This video is well done. I like how well put together your story is. Good job! 👍
I think one of the most damning pieces of evidence against her was her feigned ignorance about guns in that first police interview. "The shooter thingy..." Really?! C'mon man! If she was writing stories about murdering people, she knew the name of "the shooter thingy"!
I know, right?! She comes off as “I’m so naive, quirky and funny, you can’t possibly think I’m guilty”! But she grates.
The police interviewers deserve hazard pay for dealing with her for a prolonged period of time!
She is very cringe. A person who is very easy to dislike. My guess is her books are trash also.
My husband and I have been married for 32 years, together for 35 we are in our 60’s have raised 5 children and happily married. How a person could even think that money is happier than your spouse is just mind boggling.
Some marry for financial security, not love.
I'm with you! My husband of 33 years died from cancer. Life is horrible without him. I'd give anything to have him back and look what this stupid horrible woman did to her husband!
Nancy Hateful Brophy clearly did not love her husband -- she both used and resented him. Anyone who is capable of planning on ending the life of another human being for money isn't capable of love.... PERIOD. She is a sociopath.
Just shows Evil comes in all shapes, sizes and age..Revolting woman..
RIP Dan you never deserved this🥀
*ages
Revolting an apt description.
You never know who's out to get you.
I love that you called this “The Wrong Wife”!! 😂😂
Poetic
Sooo the only time she has a "memory gap" in her whole life is the time her husband was murdered? Lol . Thanks for another great vid !
That wouldn't even play well in a cheesy romance novel.
Ha ha, it’s so true.
Whenever I hear the old “I blacked out/memory gap” defence, I always roll my eyes and groan out loud.
I mean, come on, it’s not something that EVER ever happens in any other context other than a criminal trial.
When you catch up with friends, and ask them how their week has been, you NEVER hear them say - “oh, I’ve had a great week except for that part where, on Wednesday I apparently went shopping for groceries, returned home and only then did I realise that I’d totally blanked out the last couple of hours and I couldn’t work out where all the food and vegetables came from.”
I mean if someone said that to me I’d be suggesting that they seek medical attention as soon as possible. I’d suspect some kind of brain tumour or dissociative disorder. I mean, come on, unless it’s backed up with impartial medical evidence, I just don’t think that “I have amnesia and don’t remember/memory gap” should still be allowed in modern day court rooms.
To me it just always screams that that person is guilty.
Lmao 🤣
After watching her and Amber heard on the stand, it's like watching the same person.
"Was it an AR-15?"
🔼
That's a great question to ask when you learn your hubby was shot.
😂
Great follow-up question would be, "Was he shot from two feet away?" I'm surprised she didn't ask that.
Right🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@polkadots716 Right? That's a good one!
I thought of another one;
"Was my van spotted anywhere in the area?"
Lol I'm skittin here at all yer comments 😂😂😂😂
I’m really digging this presenter and content. Subbed.
I’m digging you too 👍🏻
Wow that phone call to police re insurance and the sarcasm used … who talks to cops like they r buds… foolishness
I think she wanted to appear to be just a sweet old lady who doesn't know her way around
I am completely obsessed with this channel. Your aura, yr voice, the contents, absolutely amazing work!

not saying i believe her but i sleepwalk/cook/write poetry.... ive even walked down the main street naked.... all in my sleep lol
Actually does happen with people who take Ambien. They drive. They shop. They cook.
I just want the detective to say, Let me remind you....
Besides being blacked out being drunk or a heavy Ambien user, both of which this lady who killed her husband was not...I agree, just never happens.
It’s a bullshit excuse for sure, but it’s commonly used in court or interrogation because you can’t prove what someone does or doesn’t remember. It’s all about what you can prove.
Goodjob Kevin love your style , calm and informative. This woman shame on her . Cold heartless killer.
Kim Baker You must have a great life as you have such low standards.
What I don’t understand is how did she only get convicted of 2nd degree murder.
Same. All of this, all of it, displays intent and planning
I think it has something to do with the way the law is interpreted in WA.Either way she will die in prison.
Plea deal to ensure conviction.
@@truthhurts2879 > she was found guilty, didn't plead
Bc it's Portlandia!
Just found your channel. You did a great job presenting this trial.
I've been waiting to see coverage of this ... I'm glad yours came up first, you always do a great job!
I truly believe they got the right person.
This was interesting. I also watched an analysis of Nancy's body language during her trial testimony done by The Behavior Panel, which was fascinating. It was surprising that they were paying $1000/month for life insurance - especially when he only earned $34,000/year.
They cld have saved 12K a year!
It was probably a whole life policy.
What an interesting story, this woman is a character and definitely not your average boring one.. I guess she thought that as a writer, she knew enough details to prevent being caught in the event she would kill her husband.
That's such a sad way for a good man who still had many years to go to finish killed by the person he was happily married for more than 2 decades... Tks a lot for this excellent video, kindly let us know if or when you hear of the result of the appeal
I hope you are Resting In Peace Dan!...
Because she is a psycopath and a narcissist.. she thinks she is so smart and convincing to everyone… but it is the opposite .. she said many things , her body language and attitude in general screams guilty … very obvious
What a human being!!! It is hard to believe that there are humans like her among us. OMG
I went to insurance school and learned about term insurance and whole life insurance, but not what ever she was explaining. What type of insurance policy is that?
This is my first time listening to your channel and you are really good. I like your voice. No hysterical tones, dramatic words. Excellent voice and straight forward telling of this story. That woman is a fruit cake. I immediately thought she was guilty. Keep up the great work! I'm a new sub as of now.
Welcome to the channel!
@@JustThoughtLounge Thank you! I appreciate your reply. Have a great Sunday Funday!
What a wicked old woman 👵 😮?? Makes me so sad for Dan Brophy and the people who loved and respected him. Grateful for her conviction.
They were not happily married. How can these lawyers say this? You never know what's going on behind closed doors. It was all about greed.
He probably thought they were ok. Meanwhile she's plotting his death
Agreed no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
@@joannegregory3024He was living with his enemy.
25 years together and she didn’t want to go into old age alone…well you’re gonna be surrounded a bunch of people. Terrible.
Bro that ending quote with her nodding her head gave me chills. Nice video I haven't heard your channel nor this case before.
She hadn't planned on being caught on camera driving away after shooting him. She thought she had fooled LE about changing up the Glock. What an ego! She even thought she could fool the detective in writing a letter saying she wasn't a suspect by making up a story that one of their life insurance companies required that to pay her...geez!!! She made a lot of mistakes, as most do (thankfully) in family or friend murders. Easier to catch them then. As a true crime follower, the only people that "might" get away with murders are total strangers to the victim, or like in the Delphi murders of Libby German & Abby Williams, a total stranger hiding behind an internet login ID that corresponded with them (Anthony_shots). Poor guy...he seemed like a nice guy who did a lot of good and was well respected in his field of expertise...didn't even see it coming, sadly. Pretty cold to kill your husband point blank who was good to you. God bless.
Very interesting ,sad case Kevin thank you for putting it all TOGETHER in a fantastic way ! Your appreciated .
Yo the minute she told the detective over the phone that she needed to know if she was a suspect,it was over!!
I particularly like the length of your videos. I often skip over ones where I see an hour or hour and a half. You give the whole story. Concise and no drama or dramatic music! ❤
This is so so sad. Not only for that man but the students who had to walk into that. I bet Nancy didn't think about that once either. Disgusting
Well, she had to realize that he would be found by his students. She just didn’t care that it would traumatize them.
In the trial she said some really derogatory remarks about the trauma that the student/s witnessed about that clearly showed that she did not care one single bit about that.
That whole story about her and Dan having multiple conversations about buying a gun over the course of months, finally deciding to spend hundreds of dollars (during the holidays no less) on a gun when they’re not even paying their mortgage, and immediately deciding maybe they should sell it since neither one liked it is BEYOND LUDICROUS. “We bought a gun for protection and it didn’t do its job!” 🤢🤮
Idk how I missed this notification but, I just got done watching Dreading 👀 who did a 2 1/2 hour deep dive on the case, 2 of my top 5 channels hitting me with the masterful content. I always look forward to your take on cases Kevin, you always give me something to think about. 🤔
Kevin, what an amazing video. This woman took an amazing man’s life for no reason. I hope that she will enjoy whatever sentence she gets. She is a full-on narcissist.
I will never understand how people like her kill off good spouses for money or other lovers.This day and age if you find a good person your lucky,i cannot fathom how ppl choose money over people
Hands down the best coverage I've seen of this case to date. I have watched other details that may have swayed my opinions on this case, but you have uncovered more evidence and videos that now actually make me think... you have succeeded in your quest! Thank you for your unbiased, professional, and meaningful representation of this case, and all the others. You have an excellent future in true crime and I hope your channel takes off. I will be truly bummed when I get to the end of videos you have released so far. Again, thank you for your hard work, and for being the voice these victims deserve. I hope you can do unsolved/ missing persons cases as I think your unbiased style and attention to detail will go far in lighting a fire under the ones that need more attention, watching from 🇨🇦⚘️
A story of a remarkable man who blindly loved a unremarkable and evil woman. I've never seen such a humble chef and teacher. He sounded so interesting, so generous and his students loved him more than his wife ever could. It's sad he probably knew she betrayed him in his last seconds on earth. RIP Chef Dan❤ Glad she won't ever be out of prison. Justice on earth and after life
12:38 I’m so sorry for Dan and his family. He seems like such a good guy. ❤
Another great channel to add to my true crime catalog
Like always, your video is accurate and well done. I don't miss any of them. Thanks 👍.

Thanks Marnie. We do our best to give thoughtful, well researched videos. Glad you noticed 👍🏻
Me too!
I love how she legit talked herself into scrutiny
Thanks for covering this story. I watched bits and pieces of the trial and had wondered what happened.
Kevin, I love your uploads! Your reporting and presentation is faultless, thanks🎉
Thank you for covering this case. The trial footage has been in my newsfeed but I didn't watch it. I'd be alarmed if my spouse decided we need multiple life insurance policies- especially if we were having financial issues!
Same here. I’ve been ignoring it. But I’m glad I decided to watch
I watched the whole trial - the prosecutor did an amazing job & she was found guilty.
I did not hear about this case yet. I like how you always explain things clearly. 👍
Thanks, Kevin. A perfect end to my day. Take care.
This channel is supreme. every story is told with such straight facts and no opinion, but so entertaining. I love your channel so much! I listen while I work. Keep up the great work👍🏻
Viewing this video I can now say I've seen every video you've produced. I like your channel and the way you speak. You have a good writing style. Great channel bud.
Appreciate the support…and thanks for the kind comment!
Never ever write down your crimes.
When will people wake up to the notion that the plural of Lego is Lego?
Nah.. it’s LEGOs
15 seconds into her blabbering and I already know she is a sociopath and she did it. What I don't understand is how a good man could have possibly lived with her for 25 years.
33:05 "JOB job job, sorry. No, I need to break. SLUUUUURPPPPPPPP!!!! GULP, GULP." WTF was THAT?
WoW I'm speechless this world is so messed up¿?? people are just going crazy sad times 🪶🪔😥💔♾️thank you for your excellent show your compassion helps🙏🏿🙏🏽🙏🏼
It’s SO messed up… (how messed up is it??) that people don’t even use punctuation so every paragraph is one, long run-on sentence.

Great story !! Thanks for the eye opening examination !
“We bought a gun and it didn’t do its job!” Lmfao what kind of logic is that…
It’s liberal logic, which is not logical at all.
How did this woman write a novel? She can't string a sentence together.
I know many women who would have appreciated and honored a husband like Dan Brophy. How did he end up with this hideous, evil thing for a spouse?
Did you catch that smirk on her face at what looked like a memorial service?? Like wow I really got away with it!
I remember watching some of her testimony. She was the most annoying yapper I’ve heard in my life!! She just thought she would charm and talk herself out of trouble. Thank god for video!! Imagine the unsolved crimes before tape! 😮
Only just found you the best video of all new found fan from Ireland thankyou 🇮🇪☘️
I'm liking the narration here! Subbed!
She's making jokes to the investigator?!? Good Lord! 🙄
I love these stories of people who think they can get away with the perfect crime. So based on this story, I would have checked the car route to verify if any cameras and find one that didn’t have any and also dispose of the old laptop that the searches were done on. It was on the shelf in a closet anyways..
As I type this, I realize that I am listening to way too much true crime that my kind can think this way.. lol.
@buffydangel5943, you still would have made a mistake, murderers always do, thank God.
great research, narration perfect, thank you 👋👋🇺🇸🇺🇸Oklahoma USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It amazes me how so many people can't comprehend that old people were once young people. With that, you don't become a good or innocent person just based on age, Its character!
The ONLY Reason why this woman was caught is that
she didn't watch enough RUclips True Crime videos.
😂😂 right? 😂😂
😂😂Actually true!
Nancy is a phony.
Joe... This post could be used against you in a court of law..
Please never kill anyone!
Another Stupid psychopath here! Thinking you’re smart but you’re actually even more stupid than this Nancy kak!
Oregon is my home state. I remember when this murder took place. I was living in Salem at the time. I'm glad to know the outcome of this case.
Great job Kevin, as usual!! Did I miss it? I don't remember hearing what sentence she received? Great job and I agree with one of the comments below. She was a not so clever narcissist who love to hear herself talk and thought she was smarter than everyone else.
It's hard to look at her comedic face and see a killer. But make no doubt, she's cold blooded and calculating with it.
Look at her eyes.
Her mugshot is the real Nancy. Hateful, bitter, and totally lacking in compassion.
this is always the way it is with these couples! one is always a nice person an the other is always a narcissist!
Very well done!
That quote at the end, about being careful what you wish for, because when the Gods are truely angry they grant us our wishes... I have thought that too about a relationship I eventually escaped. It sounds like she was long aware of a major discord in their life-style and plans, their way of being. But instead of having courage to move on, she got greedy and selfish.
With her act of being an amusing person I think she could fool people on the outside about her true feelings. That comment makes me speculate about the reason for her dissatisfaction, from the trivial to the bizarre.
@@dianecripps204I think with her crappy romance novels she’s delusional and sees herself as the young, beautiful and slim heroines of her novels desired by the hunks she writes about. All the things that she is not. She was married to a kind and caring man but couldn’t be happy with or value what she had, she wanted the unrealistic fantasy
Imagine living with this looney tunes of a wife for 25 years!!! Must have been pure torture! R.I.P Dan.
This is why we need to start taking certain things seriously. The fact that she was able to write that article and nobody called red flag on her character is crazy. Normal people don’t fantasize about murders.
Very good presentation and narration.
