Nancy Crampton Brophy spent a lot of time thinking about murder.

She admitted in a blog post entitled How to Murder Your Husband.

The self-published romance writer from Oregon wrote,

�After all, if the murder is supposed to set me free, I certainly don't want to spend

any time in jail.

And let me say clearly for the record, I don't like jumpsuits and orange isn't my color.�

It was 2011, and this was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek essay.

I'm calling Dan to make sure he's alright, one online reader seemingly joked in reference

to Nancy's husband, Dan Brophy.

In the essay, Nancy laid out the motives for why a wife may be motivated to kill her partner.

Money was a huge incentive for starters.

First is expensive, and do you really want to split your possessions, Nancy wrote?

Or if you married for money, aren't you entitled to all of it?

The drawback is the police aren't stupid.

They're looking at you first, so you have to be organized, ruthless, and very clever.

Husbands have disappeared from cruise ships before.

Why not yours?

There were other reasons to plot a murder of your spouse, according to Nancy's reasoning.

If he's a lying cheating bastard for one, in anger you bash his head in or stab him

with a kitchen knife, she wrote, most of the time there's a trail that leads directly

to you.

Each type of murder leaves clues.
