  • Romance novelist turned murderer? The case of Nancy Brophy

    Romance novelist turned murderer? The case of Nancy Brophy
    Aug 22 2025
    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.

  • The murder of Tara Grinstead and the conflicting stories of Bo Dukes and Ryan Duke

    The murder of Tara Grinstead and the conflicting stories of Bo Dukes and Ryan Duke
    Aug 21 2025
    On Monday 24 October, 2005 in Ocilla Georgia, Tara Grinstead, a local beauty queen and high school history teacher did not show up to work in the morning. Concerned colleagues, unable to reach her, promptly called the local authorities. When local law enforcement arrived at her home, they initially found few indications that anything was amiss. However, a closer look suggested foul play. Tara’s car was in the drive and her cell phone was left on her bedside table, but her purse and keys were missing. There were possible signs of a struggle in her bedroom but certainly nothing to suggest a fatal attack. However, a single latex glove was spotted on her front yard, only about 15 feet from Tara’s front door. And the 30-year-old teacher was no where to be found.
