The essay also notes "financial" as a motive for murder, which prosecutors allege was Nancy's plan, wanting to claim on her husband's $1.5m life insurance policy.
"Divorce 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?"
She added: "The drawback is the police aren't stupid. They are looking at you first. So you have to be organised, ruthless and very clever. Husbands have disappeared from cruise ships before. Why not yours?"

Despite stating that those murdering spouses needed to be "organised, ruthless and very clear", Nancy was caught on CCTV driving in two directions when she claimed to be at home.
"Although that first shot likely paralysed Dan Brophy and rendered him immobile, lying on his back, Nancy Brophy then walked over to the helpless victim and shot him again at close range, also piercing the heart and ensuring that Daniel Brophy would die," prosecutors wrote in a 2020 court filing.
The trial could last seven weeks, according to Oregon Live.
