On the morning of June 2nd, 2018, as students at the Portland Oregon Culinary Institute filed in for their usual morning classes, they would make a tragic discovery. Beloved Culinary Instructor Daniel Brophy was dead, lying in a pool of his own blood, shot twice.

His death would be a mystery, almost like something his wife of 27 years Nancy Brophy would have written about in her suspenseful romance novels that she was known for writing.

But, UNLIKE her romance novels investigators would discover not everything in the Brophy home was lovey dovey.

Could the motive for Dan Brophy's murder really be summed up as financial hardships? Or is this case still a mystery that hasn't yet been solved?
