In season 3 episode 4, "Blood Ties", the tragic Nevada story of Kathy Augustine and Chaz Higgs is shown.
The show is described as Kathy Augustine is now on her fourth hubby, Chaz Higgs. But a whirlwind romance soon leads to hell. Later, her daughter Dallas is no stranger to a bad romance, and learns the most unconventional love triangles can be deadliest.
In 2003, Higgs, an experienced nurse, and Augustine, a Nevada politician, married. By all accounts, the marriage had deteriorated by 2006. On July 7, 2006, Kim Ramey, a critical care nurse who worked with Higgs, had a conversation with Higgs about his relationship with Augustine. Higgs stated that they were having marital problems and that he intended to seek a divorce. Later that day, Higgs and Ramey had another conversation about a widely publicized case in which a husband killed his wife, shot the judge presiding over the couple's divorce, and fled to Mexico. Higgs commented during their conversation, “That guy did it wrong. If you want to get rid of someone, you just hit them with a little succs because they can't trace it [postmortem].” “Succs” referenced succinylcholine, a paralytic drug that is commonly used in emergency rooms.
In the early morning hours of July 8, 2006, Higgs called emergency personnel to the couple's home after he found Augustine unresponsive. The paramedics were able to restore Augustine's heartbeat, but she could not breathe on her own. Augustine was transported to a local hospital.
Upon learning of Augustine's admittance, Ramey informed police about her previous conversation with Higgs. Ramey also informed a colleague who, in turn, informed Augustine's attending physician, Dr. Richard Ganchan, and told him to test for a succinylcholine level on Augustine.
