NBC's upcoming Dateline episode is set to air on Friday, June 10, 2022. It will focus on the shocking 2018 murder of Daniel Brophy, an instructor at the Oregon Culinary Institute.
The episode, titled Murder in Kitchen One, will examine the circumstances surrounding the death of the chef, the ensuing investigation, and more.
NBC's Dateline: Who was Daniel Brophy, and who killed him?
Daniel Brophy was a 63-year-old chef and instructor at the Oregon Culinary Institute, married to the famous romance author Nancy Crampton. She is widely known for an essay she wrote in 2011 titled How to Murder Your Husband.
On June 2, 2018, Daniel Brophy was shot dead at the culinary institute. According to People, he was preparing for a session at the institute when someone came and shot him twice in the chest. His body was later found by students.
A few months later, his wife Nancy Crompton was arrested after authorities found footage of her van near the institute the morning of the murder. This led to the realization that there was an inconsistency in her claims - she had told the police that she was out on a walk with their dogs when the incident took place.
During the trial, prosecutors shared details regarding the weapon allegedly used by Crampton, arguing that she purchased a Glock 17 handgun and later swapped the slide and barrel of the gun so it couldn't be traced back to her. The police ultimately never found the gun used to kill Daniel Brophy.
According to People, Nancy's cellmate Andrea Jacobs claimed that the author told her Brophy was shot twice in the heart, further explaining the distance from which she shot her husband.
The prosecutors also established a motive: Nancy was the beneficiary of a life insurance policy for Dan. They also argued that the couple was going through severe financial issues.
On the other hand, Nancy's attorneys argued that she loved her husband and also had her nephew testify for her. They also contested the financial issues argument, saying the couple's situation wasn't that bad and that Brophy had already received his retirement payout.
On May 25, 2022, four years after the death of Daniel Brophy, a jury found Nancy Crampton guilty of second-degree murder. She is yet to be sentenced.
