CIRCUMSTANTIAL PROOF: The Case Against Nancy Brophy

Ok, as an actual IRL Phaedra, I am personally offended by her use of my name in one of her hack stories.

I just about lost it when the dispatcher was consoling the woman saying “I’m so sorry”.

I wonder what Dan saw in her? She comes across so impressed with herself which is a very annoying quality.

Yeah, I never made it all the way through watching the trial. The testimony just went all over the place.

… that comment she spews “ they all had that SAD SACK look on their faces …”
Oh Lordy how I TRY … I TRY ! To cobble together /an excuse like “ that’s just The Broph’s Texas “downhome “ frontier -type VERBACULAR ….”

It does not STICK …it does not pass
THE SNIFF TEST

Also the The Broph describes era’s in the PRESENT TENSE , ( like Dan just LOVING COOKING LIKE A GOD DAM SLAVE during the holidays ) always , always , ALWAYS MAKES ME WANT TO PANIC .

Okay the edit at 33:08 made me giggle lmao

We need more orchard

I’m new here, and in fact I haven’t yet watched this video properly or any video from this channel, but I like many others was a huge fan of JCS before the recent downfall and like many others have been struggling to find a channel that can replace it. However after trying many different avenues to try and find a replacement that is actually enjoyable, it seems pretty consistent that the people of JCS have moved here, and deem this channel as the place to go for our criminal minds videos. I’ve skimmed through this video and can already say, I see why. I look forward to watching through all your content, and hope you enjoy making these videos as much as I will enjoy watching them.

Also, if Nancy just told the truth about driving around in the first place, she may have gotten away with it.

1:20:38
Nancy: "Talking about Dan, period, makes me emotional."
*begins a series of unforced errors by the second"

clarinda perez's testimony broke my heart. my dad did CPR on my mom for over an hour straight before she died. i saw what that did to him. obviously this woman is absolutely evil for killing her husband in the first place, but shes equally evil for what she put that poor young woman through. i hope clarinda is able to find some sort of healing and support. i hope that she knows she did everything she could have and in my eyes she is genuinely a hero for trying to help him even if he was already gone. that takes some serious guts and a very big and brave heart to pull off.

“The most important circumstance of all: love.”

Her testimony and her gross lip smacking makes me want them to give her additional time

The most disgusting part of this situation (aside from the literal murder) is when she insults and discounts the grief of the woman who tried to save Dan. Like, the poor woman just shows up to a cooking class on a normal day, does CPR for as long as she could and ends up watching someone die. Then his wife who should love him more than anyone says her grief wasn't that deep or serious. It's gross!! I hope that woman has found some peace in all of this.

-- circumstantial as an synonymous with weak, or at least presumably weak-EUGH

The opening narration about circumstantial evidence was my first, and is still my favorite, part of a MOCS video. Because it exposed a common misconception propagated by movies that I was harboring,

HOW TF DID I MISS THIS NOTIFICATION 2 MO AGO?!

this is one case that tears at me everytime i see it, such a great man lost for so little reason at all

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!!! Your voice! I've heard this voice. The tone, the cadence, the accent, the rhythm.. you're an old-timey Disney narrator! Peter pan, the jungle book, something like that.. I know someone knows what I'm talking about.. lol. I just re-watched The West Memphis Three video again, and in the beginning, that's all I can think about. I feel like I'm sitting cross-legged, 3 inches away from the tv, when I'm 7 years old, watching a Disney movie with my parents yelling at me to scoot back before I go blind. (I do have terrible eyesight now, like 20/200.. I can't see my hand in front of my face. I'm not saying they're related or anything but.. better to be safe than sorry, kids) .. except the West Memphis Three was the worst Disney movie ever made.. up until the 2010s or so. Still better than anything they're making these days though. 🫣

33:03 This segment was so absurd and the covers with titles so kitsch that I thought you were afraid to get copyright struck for including the actual titles and covers so you made funny goofy parodies of them.

I looked her actual books up, and couldn't believe these were real. I had to take a break from watching real quick to process that information

I discovered your channel long ago and I have a folder I put my favorite links in. Food For Pigs Is Not A Person video jolted me and I never forgot it. All your videos are great but I have to wait too damn long for you to release them. So, do what you gotta do and pump out three this month so I don't go into withdrawals! Jokes aside, great job, now go get it done!

I wrote her a letter, I hope she got it, I remember it wasn't easy finding her. I spoke of great foods, weather and what a cold evil person she is. This woman is among the worse I've ever seen. He did everything while she sat on her butt and did nothing.

guilty people often come with totally irrelevant information, whilst the innocent are very short in the answers they give, yes, no, they dont go in to nonsensical stories that has nothing to do with anything....

Not going to lie, we don't really need your commentary on whether you think the book sounds "atrocious". It just comes across as petty and childish that you constantly insult her books throughout the video for seemingly no valid reason. Does her writing in genres you look down on have any relevance to her being a murdering psychopath??

Sorry, I get you probably dogged on her books in some attempt to be entertaining for the viewer, but it just irked me lol.

Ik shes fake crying but can someone please explain how shes able to get her nose to turn red like that?

Thank you for this! I needed something entertaining and reasonable today!

"It's only $40,000.00"?? That's not an only, Nancy.

1:21:56 holy bruh that's a student??? she looks 40

lowk expected a "the wrong dog" one

>the wrong brother
oh god oh no

911 operator is such an OG

A 911 dispatcher who is kind, empathetic and compassionate?!

I guess she didn't get the memo about the updated standards from the American Emergency Dispatcher's Tonal Association concerning how to talk down to anyone who has the audacity to call 911 for help.

45:00 I think you mean shooty thingy!

she treated her questioning like its was a Q&A for her book

6:16 is when the 911 call ends if they make anyone else uncomfortable

Best true crime channel out there. Thanks for another excellent documentary Matt!

I can't imagine that she's a particularly gifted writer when her titles have ZERO creativity to them.

This is really good! I've seen almost every Brophy case analysis and this one still feels fresh. Great job!

Lovely to hear a 911 operator with some compassion for the caller. I hope she didn't end up getting burnt out.

I suppose recorded evidence will have to have the EXIF data associated with it, to guard against AI and deepfakes.

Oh it was her…… its normally the spouse, no one else had any reason to gun Dan down, he wasn’t robbed….. she was the only one that had anything to gain by Dans death, she lied about where she was until she was caught in cctv driving by where he was shot at the time he was killed, shes lost only one gun piece which happens to be the bit she used, 2 days after she was already trying to get life insurance, if my husband was murdered i would be inconsolable and money would be the last thing on my mind

That AI at the end scared the shit out of me. Uncanny stuff like that gets to me unlike anything else.

On TV I hate to hear a lawyer say “Objection: circumstantial!” Most murders don’t kill people in the town square at high noon. Circumstancial evidence is still evidence. Ditto: “Objection: argumentative!” All relevant evidence is an argument for SOMETHING.”
