Life appeared to be idyllic for Nancy Crampton Brophy and her husband Daniel. They had chickens running around their yard in Portland, Oregon, and a vegetable patch that chef Daniel used to create delicious meals.
Brophy, meanwhile, wrote romance novels – and it looked like the couple were living out their very own perfect love story.
They had been together 25 years and met when Brophy, who had moved from Texas, attended a cooking class at a college where Daniel was an instructor.
