Brophy, 63, was killed June 2, 2018 while prepping for work at the Oregon Culinary Institute in Southwest Portland, according to CBS News. Prosecutors alleged Crampton Brophy was after a life insurance policy, according to CBS News. Authorities never found the gun used to murder Brophy, but prosecutors argue Crampton Brophy owned the same make and model and was seen on surveillance footage driving to and from the culinary institute.
