on Prime crime 911 there somebody collapsed in one of our kitchens do you know what happened somebody to found him on the floor an adored Chef is killed in Cold Blood I just can't imagine who would want to kill him sparking a search for the one who committed this callous murder there was no video there was no eyewitness didn't look like anything was really Disturbed it seemed like there was something really personal going on here [Music] hey everybody I'm Jesse Weber and welcome to Prime crime where we break down the most compelling and memorable True Crime cases our next story starts with the sudden killing of a culinary instructor this left investigators scratching their heads who would want to kill this man a stranger an enemy a loved one let's find out now 911 hi we are at Oregon Culinary Institute there somebody collapsed in one of our kitchens it's early Saturday morning June 2nd 2018 at the Oregon Culinary Institute in Portland Students walk in expecting a day of learning techniques and recipes yet instead they discover the body of their instructor 63-year-old Daniel broy lying on the floor of one of the school's kitchens he's one of our chefs and he's an older man all right is he conscious right now no he is not conscious is he breathing no he is not breathing Daniel broy was at his school where he teaches culinary arts and on that day he was preparing for students to come in it was just like any other day the students had found Chef broy lying on his back by the sink the water was still running one of the students Clarinda Perez actually tried to perform CPR they assumed that he had maybe had a medical event do you know the cause of this or what happened did he just coll we have no idea somebody just found him on the floor what made it harder at the beginning was we have our initial 911 call that even that's confusing the callers stating hey we have an older gentleman down they didn't even know right away that Dan had been shot he's bleeding out of his chest is someone still doing tpr yes so she keep going the gunshot wounds were not apparent there was no pool of blood there wasn't the classic kind of signs that people imagine and it wasn't until Clarinda Perez saw blood on her hand that they realized that oh this isn't some sort of heart attack you're doing a good job I'm so sorry I'm so sorry oh my god do you see any of the responders no they're getting him but he's de officials are called to the scene but they are't sure what exactly happened or even what to expect when they arrive fire and medical arriv they realized after examining Shep ry's body that he had what appeared to be a possible gunshot strike to his chest they found two spent shell casings lying on the floor the patient is an instructor at the location is bleeding out of his chest the ribs are broken this is a shooting victim okay we need to figure out if this just happened and where the is because this was a large building and it was a school they didn't know if it might have been an active shooter situation and the shooter could still be in the building I can hear footsteps upstairs I don't know if that is related to this building for somebody could advice they went through and methodically cleared the entire building to make sure there was no shooter or suspect still at the scene it looks like a lock down I don't know what suspect is so we need a bunch of people here this is a building with exits on multiple streets if the shter still large when you going after confirming there's no active threat on the property authorities have to figure out what happened here you start immediately thinking motive who would want to do this why would somebody want to do this we treated it like we do any other homicide we start to separate all the witnesses and in this situation there were numerous Witnesses because there were two different classes going on that day so there were anywhere from 30 to 40 some students we started looking at the students first the students that were there and then more importantly the students that weren't there uh that should have been so we tracked all of them down while you've been here have you noticed homeless people or transients hanging around a lot yeah I found a couple needles in the bushes right out there by where we smoke you know it kind of looked like well given the area of downtown Portland that you know could have been a robbery gone wrong a couple months ago somebody had broke the wind window did they gain entry into the building or just no they just broke it and they had it fixed up the next day those were some of the things we were thinking could this been maybe a houseless person that came in and wanted to rob the place but Chef broy interrupted it there was a homeless man on this side of the street with his back turned towards me he looked in the recycling bins over there and then kind of peaked around the corner to the parking lot and then just walked up the street this was today mhm it just didn't seemed that way from him working at the sink and getting shot in the back there was no video there was no eyewitness didn't look like anything was really Disturbed one person that became of Interest was a guy named Oscar Taylor I've prosecuted him before we know him as somebody who steals he was out looking for cans that morning which is pretty normal so we thought okay he didn't go canning walk in Murder Dan for no reason whatsoever and then and just leave that doesn't make any sense you know he's living from day to day trying to survive canning I don't expect him to have a $500 Glock hand gun in his pocket there's no signs of forced entry on the building they don't really find anything as if somebody had done a robbery or something of that nature is there anything of value inside the school or anything anybody would you think would break into want to take I mean food or equipment is the only real thing that I could think of I mean unless there's money in there but I we wouldn't know about that one of the things that stood out right away was that Dan's wallet was there with money in it he had cash in his pocket his credit cards debit cards his ID his cell phone his watch his keys nothing was taken we thought okay this maybe is more personal maybe this was targeted you said there's no students that really don't get along with Chef broy everybody loves Chef broy I couldn't think of anybody in that school right now know that would be upset with him at all he's very very kind person the lack of evidence was pretty telling when you're looking at the crime scene and you're looking at the video from outside the crime scene and you don't see anybody fleeing there's nobody running down the sidewalk there's no car speeding away everyone liked Dan everyone respected Dan he was passionate his students respected him and loved him they adored him nobody had a bad thing to say about he worked them hard and that's what they respected most about him because he brought the best out of them investigators aren't sure at this point how to piece together who killed chef broy and they need to get a better understanding of his life that's when they decide to speak with his wife 67-year-old Nancy broy perhaps she could provide some Clues as to who may have done this to her husband so Nancy uh I think some people kind of notified you that something was going on just what they heard on the news KGW said that there was a shooting there was one fatality Nancy was from Texas she decided she was going to go into the culinary world and that's where she met Dan in the early '90s Dan was actually her instructor they got together and they eventually got married in 99 Nancy wore a lot of hats she was developing her writing she was working on some books she sold insurance she also sold Medicare coverage Nancy and Dan have been married for years they were known to love each other and they were always with each other sometimes it's the people closest to the victim that can provide the best information up next can Nancy broy help law enforcement find her husband's killer here's the question I'm just realizing where is he now he's in the building oh man we're going to do a lot of pictures we're going to search for evidence and talk to all of the students we're going to be working real hard on this right [Music] now I just can't imagine who would want to kill him he wasn't that kind of guy you know I've never even known him to have a confrontation with anybody back on June 2nd 2018 culinary students discover 63-year-old cooking instructor Dan broy shot to death on the floor of a kitchen at the Portland Oregon Culinary Institute investigators are exploring every Avenue to determine who would want Chef broy dead hours after the murder Dan's wife 67-year-old Nancy broy arrives downtown at the school the wife of the victim just show up where's she at she's a 17 and Jefferson and she has not been notify we were just kind of standing around and that's when Nancy broy first got to the crime scene I just remember that very vividly she was just standing there didn't show any emotion she was just kind of there police initially met with Nancy to let her know that her husband was killed it was something that normal with every homicide that takes place we took Nancy broy into the van that's set up for interviews I thought this looks pretty Prett complicated here there's a lot of unanswered questions I think maybe we should record the notification with her detective Darren posie began asking her questions what time did he leave this morning from your guys's place he left I'm going to say 7ish maybe 7:05 that's about the time he normally leaves we need to learn as much as we can about Chef bro's activities that morning what he did was he's last doing if there was anything going on problems grievances with other people were you guys up earlier this morning or anything early every morning R he has his little list of things he does you know he walks the dogs he feeds the chickens she said that he had come up and taken a shower upstairs in the master bedroom area while she was in bed and then he left and didn't sleep well I woke up when he came up for a shower he used to shower downstairs but you'll see stitches on hand because last week in the shower our shower door shuttered he's not having a good week oh that sounded good so after he got his shower this morning though yeah he managed to he didn't need a spotter okay okay so and then you think he left like around 7 the next thing you know after that when did you hear something Maxine called me she said what do you know about what's going on at oci and I said I don't know anything what's going on and and she said what is on the news and I said Okay and she told me what she had heard a mutual friend of hers and Dan's Maxine called Nancy Maxine kind of filled her in and you know asked her if she was going to go down to The Culinary Institute and nany's reply to me was fairly odd she said that she wasn't because something along the lines of there was going to be too many cops or there was going to be a lot of cops around there and then she gets a call from Dan's mom Karen and then it was really when Karen insisted that she needed to go down there that's apparently when Nancy decided that she needed to as investigators push for more information they look for possible suspects from Dan's life is he typically the first person that opens up in the morning no yeah I do is yeah I do you know I think Yu gets here in the middle of the night cuz it seems to me like Yu is always here and and that's the cleaning guy correct yes somebody whose name came up was a a janitor uh that may or may not have been there that night before or maybe even that morning was there any kind of issues with yadu or any kind of issues with anybody at the school you know H Dan is Dan is not hilf well met we had no communication issues I'm not trying to make it sound that way but he's not a chatter we had alarm panel codes and so we had the history of the alarm panel we know nobody was there uh the night before or the morning of before Dan here's the other thing he doesn't Harbor grudges when he first went to work at Western culinary God I'm going to have to tell you stories here there was another Chef that really disliked him Dan said he's just a guy with a different opinion than mine and he just never in 25 years of teaching I have never h him bad mouth a student one time ever Dan br was a beloved teacher but in terms of who could have killed him we know it's 7 something in the morning could it have been a student that was upset with him could it have been just someone with some mental health issues that just went off that day or could it have been someone else that he knew that wanted his teacher position or wanted his job we just don't know she made it very clear that nobody would want hurt Dan he wasn't abusive at home you know he wasn't secretly doing side deals with people he went to work tended his chickens and lived a pretty simple life there's no you know like he was like going man that's person's really got it out for me or none of that kind of and that wouldn't be how he thought anyway okay Dan kind of is his own little world God that makes him sounding confident he's not he's not no I yeah I know where to turn in a case where it seemed no one wanted Dan broy dead yet coming up authorities learned some case changing information she said oh no I was doing research for my book for my writing that's why I was looking that information up it had nothing to do with wanting to kill my [Music] husband even if you find who shot him he not going to bring him back and I want him back I don't care about who shot him I just want him back I don't want him dead 2018 Portland Oregon investigators are working to determine who shot and killed culinary instructor Daniel broy in a teaching kitchen where he worked at the Oregon Culinary Institute he had been shot twice through the heart as police try to learn more information about Dan from his wife n broy a self-published romance author they realize her behavior and answers are a bit off when they met with Nancy Nancy very talkative inserting herself a little bit but more shocking was when they let her know that her husband is a person that was killed I just want to let you know that we believe it's Dan that's been killed yeah I kind of got that everybody gave me the Sad Sack look she's like oh I figured that by the way that people were looking at me you're being told that the love of your life this person that you just saw this morning this person that you've been with for over 10 years was just killed and there's no reaction the unusual thing was she never asked us is my husband okay is he doing okay prior to her finally being notified that he was in fact deceased is there any anybody that you know of that wanted to do something to Dan everybody I've heard from so far is like Dan's a nice guy he is a nice guy you know and students seem to like him and everything why he's not a rer I mean he is he just it took me 4 and A2 years to convince him to marry me yeah she was giggling she was laughing she was being very talkative she wasn't in shock but then Nancy finally starts asking questions which leads to some interesting details we're just trying to figure out what you know and that's why I'm asking some of these kind of questions can you tell me what happened as far as you know he was shot with an AR-15 no I don't know what he was Sho why do you say AR15 because school shootings are all AR-15s now was it an AR-15 that killed him and we just were like what that it just seemed like an unusual question I realize and understand that there's always shock and different reactions that people have in a time of such trauma so we didn't pay too much attention to it does Dan O kind of guns at all or does he carry a gun at all for any reason for protection okay you're going to be so embarrassed I'm kind of embarrassed after the marchy Douglas ston shooting in February we talked about it and I said maybe we ought to buy a gun and he said said okay and so there was a gun show and I went down and bought a gun Nancy disclosed that back in February they had purchased a Glock 17 9 mm she said that they got it home they took it out of the box they looked at it they thought it was ugly and heavy kind of scared them a little bit and so she just put it away never did anything with it I bought this gun I got it home we looked at it and neither one of us wanted it and so it's still on my closet shelf and it still has that little plastic band around the the shooter thing we've never even bought bullets for it is a pistol or is it a a lock it's a handgun at first we're thinking well if she is the murderer there's no way this is the gun she just voluntarily turned it over so we tested it and it was not a match we knew the gun she got from the gun show was not the gun that shot danam bruy she liked to have hands-on experience with props and things that she used in her books I work with a bunch of riders I'm a riter too I write romantic suspense and I work with all these Riders and everybody has a gun the thing though that didn't fit is that she bought approximately $1,500 worth of guns and gun parts during this time frame leading up to her husband's murder it was Heavy well course you know how heavy a gun is sorry it was heavy and it felt terrible handling it it was like just wasn't something you guys did no real frankly I couldn't imagine ever needing it we did a search of one of her storage units and we found uh a box and sure enough they opened up the box and there were scarves and purses and a Glock kit it was a ghost gun we thought oh my gosh this must be it this must be the murder weapon but as we got looking closer at the physical gun itself we realized that she never built it Nancy had done searches on ghost guns and just guns in general and it turns out that Nancy had purchased ghost gun pieces online however she failed to mention to law enforcement that she had purchased a ghost gun piece a slide from eBay we have experts that can test to determine which shell casings came out of which gun the part that leaves the mark on the shell casing comes from the slide and Barrel of the gun so in theory you could take a slide and Barrel off of one gun and put it on an identical lower unit and it would work the big question was well where's the slide and Barrel from eBay that's the only firearm piece that law enforcement was never able to locate with no murder weapon directly connecting Nancy to the crime investigators begin to question why would she kill Dan they discover a key piece of evidence that could change this whole investigation we had a great marriage but the only people I know who have ever hated him was his ex-wife and who ex-wife doesn't hate the husband you know and I can't believe after 25 years she'd be motivated I mean short of that we live a quiet life everybody around them thought they had a great relationship they seem to be doing fine until 2016 2016 is where things we could see started to derail you know Nancy is management and she controlled pretty much all aspects of their life most importantly their finances they had a lot of financial issues and financial troubles from taking out loans on their pension to their full 1K to paying down their debt to thinking about selling their property they weren't paying their mortgage on time uh there was repeated times where the mortgage just didn't get paid but ironically she's buying all these Glock parts and guns simultaneously she's prioritizing paying for life insurance policies and these are in Dan's name some of them so it looked very suspicious to us she would take out $35,000 on on their 401k and she would spend it on you know getting the yard cleaned up and vacations and then she of course spent part of that money on firearms and Firearm accessories but having financial problems doesn't mean Nancy's a murderer or does it I know this is selfish but what am I going to do without him how am I going to get wor not selfish no don't you worry you know I should be worried about him and all I can think about is oh my God yeah take one step at a time okay I know there not a lot of things you can do right now as detectives try to sort out what actually happened to Dan broy days after the murder they receive a strange phone call from Nancy this may give you a laugh this afternoon uh I don't want to be the stupid question of the day but I think I need to be the stupid question of the day Nancy called and asked the investigate I know this is weird but can I get a letter and say that I'm not a suspect that I wasn't involved and I prosecuted homicides for over 10 years and this is the first time I've have ever heard this my insurance company said just have the detective write a letter that you're no longer a suspect my sister when I told her this as a lawyer laugh so hard she F all the chair if you listen to that call detective posie is caught off guard why why would you need that they don't want to pay if it turns out that I secretly SLI down to the school and shot my husband because I thought hey going into old age without danam after 25 years it's really what I'm looking for you know okay well we we never would do something like that I really didn't think so it was just an odd phone call in general I mean she's laughing she's very much downplaying it this is such a stupid little policy I can't believe they're making me jump through the Hoops like this this is only $40,000 the other thing is I said what happens if in fact this case never gets resolved and they said well that has to go up to the supervisors to be evaluated and I'm thinking great it was something that gave some additional insight to this investigator wait hold up insurance policies and it wasn't just the 40,000 there were also other insurance policies totaling over $1 million let me ask you my next question which I know you're going to give me a vague answer but have you got enough things that you really think you know or you think you've got the potential to solve it at this point we are looking at a lot of stuff there's a lot of things to go through and review real frankly I want you to take as long as it takes because I want us to find this person Nancy seems to be a very weird person just her interaction and how she had this conversation with this investigator so it was definitely a red flag we did a lot of work trying to find a suspect that was not Nancy broy and to try to rule out that there was no other motive person that had a problem with then there was nothing else suspicious or anything else that led us a different direction based on her statements behavior and activities leading up to Dan's death detectives narrow in on Nancy as their likely suspect but there's something else a bit curious about romance novelist Nancy broy one of the investigators Googled Nancy brophy's writings and learned that she had written an say several years ago called how to murder your husband and it talked about police tactics avoiding detection by law enforcement if you were to carry out a murder of your spouse another odd detail maybe Nancy did Kill Dan to collect life insurance money and to live out her retirement years without him but a lot of this is purely circumstantial and there's still not quite enough evidence to charge her however when we return investigators find out something big about the murder Nancy said that she had not left her house but all of a sudden the investigator gets a call from another investigator and said look we pulled some surveillance and in the surveillance we see this van pass by ding ding [Music] ding he's a wonderful guy he really is a wonderful guy oh man it's summer 2018 and Portland investigators suspect 67-year-old romance novelist Nancy broy may have shot and killed her own husband 63-year-old Chef Dan broy as he was preparing his kitchen at the Oregon Culinary Institute for a Saturday class a potential Financial motive to kill suspicious firearm related purchases strange comments to police and literally authoring an essay on how to kill your husband all look bad for Nancy broy however there's nothing concrete tying her to the crime until we take a closer look at the scene as we continue to investigate we learn that there's no video surveillance on the premises in the interior of oci detective Merill and detective posie came to me and said hey do you want to walk around and look for a surveillance video with us which which is not something we normally do but we walked across the street to Bellagio's pizza and we all watched the video together when the first pass goes by of this kind of silvery Tanish minivan I don't even know that we noticed it on the first pass we didn't really I think pay it much attention until we saw it after the time of the homicide as well what kind of vehicles do you guys drive you guys each have your own Vehicles he has a white and I have a Toyota van what color is that gray what year is that one 2007 it was detective posie actually he's like hey isn't that ny's van that we just saw her drive away in and we start looking at it and we're slowing it down we're rewinding it pausing it doing still images and it looks exactly like the van we just saw and not only that right as the van crosses in front of bagas it stops for a stop sign and as it stops you can see the driver appears to look just like Nancy broy I didn't get out of bed oh you just kind of woke up and you were alert yeah and he got dressed and left she said that she never got out of bed from their master bedroom upstairs that she was working on a book our ears perked up quite a bit just what are the you know chances of the same exact type of minivan the same Rim same lights has this particular scratch in it and then it it wasn't just a scratch I mean it was a pretty significant scrape down the side and so really to connect the van to Nancy it was that sticker in the window Dan's mom Karen explained that that minivan used to belong to Jack and Karen broy and that they had given that minivan to Nancy when she needed a vehicle that was a church parking lot sticker in the corner of the van we were able to verify it was in fact the church parking sticker the van was spotted in the area without any reason to be in that area at that time if somebody says they're not there when their husband's getting murdered but the video shows otherwise that's a huge problem Nancy broy is arrested and later charged with the second deegree murder of her own husband when they put handcuffs on her she said oh you must think I killed my husband which I thought was not something you say when being arrested for your husband's murder four years after Dan bro's murder prosecutors lay out the case for the jury in the criminal trial of Nancy broie on the surface the Brophy appeared to their friends and family to be a couple in love who are entering the next stage in life Financial struggles really began to develop in 2016 by late 2017 Financial despair evident and no end in sight Nancy started researching and planning the murder Dan BR the prosecution put forward that yes they had a lot of financial issues and financial troubles Nancy made claims on 10 separate life insurance policies in which she was the beneficiary of over $1.4 million eventually all of the evidence and all of the leads all pointed back to Nancy broy prosecutors call several witnesses over the course of the trial to prove Beyond a reasonable doubt that Nancy murdered Dan these include detectives we couldn't figure out any other motive of what happened that day because it didn't look like a burglary a robbery uh there were no grudges against Dan an accountant I reviewed bank accounts there were insurance payments for six different uh life insurance accounts it was a Wells Fargo home mortgage I did see a lot of months where there was loan delinquency and an investigative analyst that X in the middle is that that public shooting range yes the North Fork Wolf Creek Public range that morning March 26 2018 you're detecting Nancy Roy's phone starting around the area of her home heading out Highway 26 into that area yes but it was some of the first witnesses that really set the stage so you're in the lounge area at the the table what's the next thing that you remember um the next thing I remember is a uh student a fellow student yelling call 911 I came to her to see what she needed I think I had my phone in my hand already and I dialed 911 I went to Dan and tried to figure out what was going on I knelt down beside him um and I didn't know what to do so uh I held his hand I just I wanted to see if he would squeeze it back and he didn't so um it was obvious that um that Dan was gone they knew Dan too it was personal for them they all loved and respected him and they tried to save his life when those people testify and they're feeling that emotion all over again and the jury sees that it's pretty powerful but unfortunately for prosecutors they ran into some difficulty with a key piece of evidence the 2011 essay authored by Nancy entitled how to murder your husband we were trying to introduce it trying to show the jury that she has the knowledge of how to do it this could be helpful to a jury but it's so prejudicial that it's too much to give that to a jury it would be too Sensational so the judge I think airing on the side of caution de deed to keep it out and once the case turned to the defense ny's attorneys took their time their case lasting weeks arguing Nancy couldn't possibly be Dan's killer Nancy krampton broy firmly believes in life insurance and her love and concern for her husband was demonstrated in the Life Insurance choices that she made over the years the other thing that's important about insurance is legal ownership Nancy broy made Dan broy the legal owner of every policy that ensured his life I kind of thought well what were they supposed to do they weren't working with much all they could do is try to distract away from all of that evidence and try to humanize Nancy as much as they could the state suggests that Nancy bro's life was going to get a lot better when Dan was gone they're wrong Nancy was lost after Dan was killed it was as though the Earth had fallen away from her feet Nancy broy did not kill her husband the most difficult part about the prosecution's case is the love story that both Nancy and Dan had they had a wonderful relationship they worked very well together this was a relationship one of the only ones that I know of that I thought if that's what marriage is like I would want that it seemed to be an ideal marriage they personally I think were very very well suited to each other you know as sort of Yin and Yang you know and they just seem to I mean just really enjoy each other there was no inclination that there were any troubles in the sense of there was any infidelity that there were any arguments that they were bickering or that they couldn't stand each other they couldn't find anything that could have been brewing to lead to Dan being killed by his wife then Nancy broy took the stand her self and her testimony caught everyone's attention had you ever met a guy anything like Dan broy before you met him no no he was unique he loved me and I loved him back the person that the jury and all jurors usually want to hear from is the defendant themselves she was on the stand 4 hours what happened on that day why did you lie about where you were at why why is it that now you can't remember where you were at or what you did that day I'm reconstructing this based upon what I know in my heart and what I know in my heart is the reason why I have no memory is because I was stunned by the fact Dan was dead and I wouldn't have been stunned if I'd been in the building and shot him she testified fine on direct examination with her attorneys when she knew what the questions were going to be she was very comfortable did they tell you that they had video of you near the murder scene yes did you believe that was true not for one second I thought they're making this up this isn't true it wasn't until cross examination that just went completely off the rails you talked about the interview with the police and how you just found out your husband died and told them the whole story about why and how you virtually Dan owned half a block I told him about the full Glock I answered him the best way I knew knew how why didn't you just say yes we have a gun I was trying to be helpful to the police at this point I thought they were going to find my husband's killer I didn't think they were going to say let's look at the one person who didn't kill him the longer that she was on that stand she just became so combative two different people between the prosecution and the defense the S Barrel is what is that issue right yes you have a gun complete slid and Barrel intact you know how to remove it in fact you did mhm you can manipulate the slide and Barrel separate and apart from the rest of the gun mhm but you chose to buy the exact same piece why in the world when you already own this exact piece you would need to buy another one days later what I can tell you is it was for writing it was not to uh as she would have it murder my husband the jury's looking at her wait you're not coming off as that mild mannered I wouldn't hurt a fly type person that the defense is trying to sell us you think you have relevant evidence to a murder investigation and you don't think you should mention it to the police even though I marked it how is a gun kit relative evidence I'm asking you I'm asking you because I don't think it is cuz it's never been put together then why would you market for the police because I figured the police would come back and want to know Nancy broy should not have testified ESP especially since she wasn't going to be able to provide you an answer as to what were her whereabouts on the day of the murder the day of June 2nd not only is there a memory hole but I have a hard time making it clear what I actually remember there were so many things that she could remember during our notification with her and then for the defense to come in and say well she had retrograde amnesia causing her to not recall the events that morning it just didn't sit well with me you have no memory of driving around downtown on the morning of June 2nd how can you sit here today and say that I was driving around writing if I was down there that's what I was doing I do know based upon the timestamps that I was only down there for 6 minutes or less from the time that he signed into the building until you see me again leaving the area how do you know you didn't go in the building I know I didn't go in the building because I didn't kill Dan I know that for a fact after weeks of testimony and a day and a half of deliberations jurors return their decision we the jury do find our verdicts as follows count one murder in the second degree guilty I was a surprise based on her testifying her performance while she was on the stand that played a huge role in jury deliberations and the quickness of their verdict that just goes to show you that they did not find her to be believable following her conviction Nancy broy was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years I felt reliefed that we had put all this work into this case we worked our buts off I've never written so many search warrants in my life we just kept going every direction it led us and we ruled out all the other things and we felt very confident Nancy broy shot and killed Daniel broy I think for the family and and everybody involved that it was probably the final piece was getting that sentence handed down and frankly I mean 25 years I think we figured she'd be about 92 when she'd be eligible for release which there's no guarantee especially somebody who's defiant and will never admit that they did anything but it's the question that the family will love to know friends will love to know the public will love to know why would you kill your husband who didn't cheat on you didn't hurt you didn't hit you gave you everything praised you that's a question that will always remain unanswered what a case started with a dead body a potential school shooting possibly the wor of a stranger or enemy and it all came full circle to one of the closest people in Dan bro's life it seems like one takeaway from this story never judge a book by its cover that's all we have for you here on this episode of prime crime everybody thank you so much for joining us and as always stay safe [Music]
