An Almost Perfect Murder

March 21, 2008

Aside from her family and closest friends, Kathy Marie Augustine, 50, was not well-liked, politically or otherwise. She was known to have an abrasive personality, was fond of yelling at people, especially her employees, and, politically at least, she knew how to play the game of dirty tricks almost as well as Richard Nixon. A lot of people, including her husband, Chaz Higgs, 42, frequently referred to her as a "b****." Confident and positive despite the many obstacles that she had faced, Kathy recognized that she was tough and was damned proud of it. Her story is one of power, ambition, and enemies, and ultimately, her own death. Kathy’s murder could have been the perfect crime had it not been for a single slip of the tongue...

Wow......take away the murder and the death of the husband and this woman sounds like Hillary Clinton!!!

I wonder, though, if an investigation was undertaken to look into any ties Chaz may have had with the Republican Party?? This is Nevada, you know......nothing is above suspicion.

I am the former ex-girlfriend of Chaz Higgs.
We lived together for 2 years .I know he did not do this .He was charming,nice,caring,
romantic,funny,supportive,He encouraged me to further my college education,He went to work every day, He paid all my bills.He had an excellent bed side manner ,and would wait on me hand and foot ,if I were sick.
He diffently is not a sociopath.We shared many emotional moments together.He under went testing through the court,that further proves he is not a sociopath.There is no motive in this case or evidence to prove he is guilty.He has had several Exs in the past in every situation he walked away with nothing and gave his exs everything.He was not greedy and did not care about money.He also has experience with jealous,controlling women.

He did not kill her,He simply walked away and divorced her.I could see how Kathy's friend and family were quick to judge him because he was different and did not fit into their social circle.He was not conservative,nor stuffy,He had more of a South Beach ,Miami style,He liked italian loafers,jeans and a tight shirt to show off his amazing physique.Her Friends/associated/family probably found him diffferent because he had no real interest in politics.He was more of a nonconformist ,however he was present to show support for his wife.It seems as everyone was quick to judge him and point the finger at him.I know everone thinks he showed no emotion ???? Well behind the scene,he knew family and friend of Kathy were pointing the finger at him.His wife just died ,He has no support on their end .He was even told to leave his residence ,so that kathys brother and mother could stay there,and they did not want to be around him????? I believe all the stess of her death and her family led to his suicide attempts.He has always had alot of support and encouragement from his friends and family.
Also I have met his family and spent time with them,they are all super people.I do know his Dad would never support him now ,unless he knew for sure he was innocent.
It seems strage that Kathy had received death threats 1 and 2 wekks before her death.This was not investigated???????? Just before Kathys death she had discoved some very curropt events ,fraud,bad,bad things going on with some high ranking officials,she was going to expose this.She shared all info with Chaz .I have current communication with him now while he is in prison.There are names and details.Maybe this is why he did not get a fair trial???? nobody wants to expose this scandal because maybe they too,will end up dead?He is INNOCENT...... and would never kill anyone.
