Prime Crime: The Chef Killed in His Own Kitchen

[@jessicadavis5431]

Chef Brophy was so kind, a brilliant teacher and he pushed me to ask questions. To taste everything, work harder and challenged me to succeed. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge. He loved his students, his rooftop gardens and his chickens were his favorite people. He was my greatest culinary teacher, being in his class was such a gift of his knowledge. To say he is greatly missed, just doesn't seem to be enough. RIP, a one of a kind Chef.

[@tutliwyatii1741]

Sorry for your loss Jessica 🙏🏾❤️❤️🇸🇸

[@ryanhopkins6090]

@jessicadavis5431 I agree completely on Chef Brophy. I had him @ Western Culinary in '99. Nancy was in my class. I can't believe this is the first time I've heard of this. And It's horrible. Something the show said that rang true even in '99, the students all RESPECTED and liked him. Yes, he was tough, but you did NOT want to let him down. It's such a shame.

SHE DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE MARRIED TO ANYONE CARING PERIOD. SHE IS STONE COLD AND IT SHOWED WHEN SHE TOOK THE STAND. SHE'S A HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING... IF YOU WANT TO CATEGORIZE HER AS SUCH. THE RECORDED CALLS TO THE POLICE WERE SO TELLING. SHE WAS LAUGHING ON THE STAND! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! PLUS, SHE DIDN'T REMEMBER DRIVING AROUND THE MORNING HER HUSBAND WAS SHOT AND SUCCUMBED TO THAT SHOOTING! THAT DAY WOULD BE ETCHED IN MY MIND TILL THE DAY I DIED!! SHE WAS SO NONCHALANT ABOUT EVERYTHING. SHE DID IT. MOTIVE, OPPORTUNITY AND HOPEFULLY GAINFUL $$$$$$$ TO HER BANK ACCOUNT. I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED, IF SHE WAS TO BE FREED SOONER THAN LIFE, SHE'D STILL TRY TO ACCESS THE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES. IT WOULD BE JUST LIKE HER. 🙄

She surely had rehearsed it in her head. In her head, she was charismatic, funny, or even witty.

I watched her trial & body language analysis of her

[@trurahaiku]

Some lawyers are just as evil and wicked as their clients.

42:50 Respectfully, there is no question here. It's money.

[@lorraineclement7279]

So glad justice was served.

[@pedroortiz-dr7on]

The love of money brings all sorts of injurious things!

[@CIC77]

Why possibly parole?? Should of been life without parole!!

[@sarahmiller4069]

You want to know why ........ it was the insurance money all along......... she worked to build up all that money in insurance claims........that's why she did it.... very selfish ....narcissistic .....horrible person ..... she is in jail where she belongs for the rest of her life She never showed any emotion when she was testifying at all about the loss of her husband and his friends couldn't even get through their testimony without becoming very emotionally upset

[@susanhiggs6873]

Wow! Nancy is the definition of entitlement.

[@RichardWagner-hi4zn]

9:13 She has just found out her husband was shot dead. This nonchalance. Guilty

[@chelseasummers2365]

Did I miss something? How did she get in and out of the building without being caught on video surveillance?

[@Kellibel]

That building had no surveillance and she knew that since she’d been there multiple times. She forgot the others businesses have them which is how they caught her van near the scene at the time of his murder.

So crazy I went to this school back in 2019. I never got a chance to meet him but two terms in I heard of this story. I'm so glad I finally get to hear the full story!

[@pareenainhom5773]

Pure EVIL! Greed and selfishness in some humans... just sad😰

[@god1246]

That whole ghost gun thing was really getting on my nerves. No such thing as a ghost gun unless you completely make it from scratch. Gun parts you buy off the internet have serial numbers that get sent to the ATF with your name

[@avendanojordison]

Greed got the best of her.

[@suzanhodges415]

If writing a book titled “how to murder your husband” isn’t premeditation, then I truly don’t know what is. That book alone should have convicted her along with the only missing piece from her ghost gun that could be tied to the bullet!
