Outwardly, they seemed like your average all-American couple but behind closed doors, the couple had been struggling for quite a while. Brynn was said to be exceedingly jealous of her husband’s success. While he was inundated with career offers, she was struggling to find any. At one point, Phil even considered retiring early just to please his wife. As time progressed, Brynn became addicted to alcohol and narcotics.
On the evening of 27 May, 1998, Brynn had a meal at a California restaurant with a friend. When she arrived home, she started an argument with her husband who threatened to leave her if she refused to get help for her addictions. Following the argument, Phil retreated to bed. At approximately 3AM, Brynn entered the bedroom and shot Phil twice in the head and once in the side. Afterwards, she drove to a friend’s house and confessed to the murder. The friend didn’t believe her and drove with her over to the house. When the friend saw the lifeless body of Phil, he called the police.
By the time the police had arrived, Brynn had locked herself in the bathroom. As police were escorting the couple’s two children from the home, Brynn shot herself in the mouth. Her toxicology report concluded she had cocaine in her system. Her blood-alcohol level was .12%.
