The sensational case of Nancy Crampton Brophy, an Oregon woman who wrote an essay titled, “How to Murder Your Husband,” and was later convicted of committing that very crime, fascinated people who heard about it from The Oregonian/OregonLive reports, and other news coverage.

For Heidi Joy Tretheway, however, the saga hit closer to home. Tretheway had known Crampton Brophy when Tretheway was a member of the Rose City Romance Writers, the Portland chapter of the national organization, the Romance Writers of America.

“I was completely stunned,” Tretheway said in a recent phone conversation. The idea that “you knew a murderer, that you shared the same air with that person – it’s beyond the pale.”

As it turned out, Tretheway’s acquaintance with Crampton Brophy, and her own knowledge of romance writing led to Tretheway hosting “Happily Never After: Dan and Nancy,” a new program from the Wondery podcast studio.
