The fact the girlfriend listened to this horrific case, knew the $$ was from an insurance, then kept quite for 4yrs 🤷🏼♀️ wth she is as bad as the dirt bag ex husband !
The the job but j
Maybe she was scared into silence. The ex was totally evil.
Right when the tables turned on her she felt guilty yeah right
“Causes a nice person to do bad things” wasn’t really a nice person, you can’t really be manipulated into committing murder, at the end it’s a decision made, clearly wasn’t a very nice person to help Novak kill his wife. 😂
Nice persons don't kill
I agree. They're making excuses for him. Not to mention the gf was in on it too and got off scot free.
100%
That witch only told on him for revenge. Shame on the justice system for given that witch immunity.
Yup. Her playing professional victim is BS
She could have save the mother of kids because she knew the plan to kill her. Therefore, she needed it to be brought to justice.
Although without her, the slimeball ex would have gotten away with the murder.
He didn't give a dam about those children. He left them home all dope up and went on with his sick idea and killed their mother. He wanted that money and not to pay those few dollars to take care of their children😢😢. My heart aches 💔 for the wife who lost her life. While 2 people could have said no and called the law.
Can you imagine how these kids are going to deal with knowing that their dad killed their mom? 😢
@@gingersmith2888I cannot imagine. Hopefully they are being cared for by the wife's family and their father is not allowed contact with them. If he were my father I would disown him and never have anything to do with him again.
If someone is told 'I'm going to kill my spouse' and doesn't report it to the police. They should be charged with a crime. You know when someone is joking or not. And might I add, NY has been screwed up for quite some time if all of their EMT ranks have mental health issues. Good Lord!
Totally agree 100%. They could have saved those children's mother and unfortunately their father too. Those 2 should be in more trouble but karma collects so it won't be good.
@suzanneschneider: Absolutely not! Any law promoting denuntiation will create a society of distrust. There are no as simple as that solutions to dilemmas of loyalty. What mature citizen wants to live under such law? Oh wait - I must have overlooked, its a Bible-Belt-Crime-Story, sorry to have overloaded your tiny minds. Just ignore my comment and keep on judging people by their thought-crimes from a comfy hindsight position.
@@petermeyer6873,if some one is constantly and repeatedly saying to many person's he/she will kill their spouse and it eventually does happen?!...I believe those who knew and did noting about it should be held accountable...They could have avoid a death..A murder..
@@ThePortalTheory,i do agree with everything you said...
@@Explorer24904 You changed the constraints of suzanneschneiders post from "someONE" to "many people" and from "is told" to "constantly and repeatedly saying", and then again you judge from hindsight: "eventually does happen". Bravo, keep on lying to yourself!
So Sad 😢
Such a sad and horrible crime..
Just can't imagine what poor Catherine went through having a husband that was cheating on her and then tragically murdered is just unspeakable and horrific 😢
What is wrong with people? I don’t care who it is telling me they are going to kill someone, whether it’s a husband, a boyfriend, a co-worker, family member, etc. I would never not go to law enforcement or even that person as well to prevent it!
The world is full of evil AND stupid people. Be careful with who you associate yourself !
Can't agree more!!! All the best of life to you!
So sad Catherine thought she could make him change. Never happens
Never.
Absolutely. They NEVER change. 😢
So he still wanted the attention
Owe. And if you want to commit suicide. You don't cut across.
Yep cut up and down@@CollieneDawson-hw7bj
If he will cheat with you...He will cheat on you!!!
Yup! How you get them is how you’ll lose them.
Why did the girlfriend think he was going to be honest to her. If a man can cheat on his wife. What makes you different? Murder. You were scared for your life. But you didn't even think about the poor wife when he was taking her life. God have mercy on all of you sick monsters. We all will reap what we sow in this world 🌎.
Yes, I would be looking over my shoulder every minute!
Exactly!!!😮😮😮
“SP Syndrome”= special pus** syndrome
They say “how you get them is how you lose them,” which seems to be the case more often than not.
You nailed it!
He’s a pornographic, thrill seeking narcissist who wants nothing more than complete control.
Sadly; the people who are interested in these types of things are cowards who have no idea what being a good person and partner means.
They’re immature fools who, in reality, want to be manhandled.
They portray themselves as being Machiavelli in an effort to prove their manliness. But; deep down they’re not at all interested in being that macho guy.
They want to be submissive and treated like the images of the people they love watching on pornographic videos.
TWISTED, MISGUIDED AND DISTURBING TO SAY THE LEAST!
Those nurses who were smart enough to know something wasn't right and decided to trust their instincts by quietly taking those liquid samples while Cathy was still alive... are absolute crusaders. They should all get raises because not only did thier actions provide justice for Cathy, but no doubt they saved future victims.
So Paul telling her he didn’t love her and never had wasn’t enough to leave him but it took a phone call from his girlfriend for her to wake up?
And these people's jobs was to save people? .... how ironic!
@34:23 ..... SHE SLIPD RIGHT THERE ... SHES PUTN IT ALL ON HIM BUT RIGHT THERE SHE SAY "BUT UGH ... "WE" WERE GUNA DO IT ON A WKND" !! SHE knew the whole time
Of course she did.
Yes the police know, she came clean with the police.
The scary part is this couple were saving life’s the mistress should be in prison also
WOW I am only into this story (at 13:45) and what sort of Fire Department is this??? NOBODY reports this "employee?" - Are they all the same? Come on man.....
It looked like they all must have had mental health issues....
So this Miss Truthteller after 4 years and being cheated on then now thought she could do “the right thing” and come clean 🙄🙄. Had she not been cheated on would she have done the right thing 🤬
Kathy Augustine had one daughter named Dallas(by her Delta Airlines pilot husband). I just read where Dallas killed her female partner and then herself in a murder-suicide. WOW! There has been a lot of tragedy in this family. I was also wondering if Chaz may have killed Kathy's husband who died in the ICU...just a thought.

I had the same thought.
The narrative about a seemingly healthy 50 yr old female having a heart attack as implausible is completely wrong. Happened several times in my experience as an ER dr.
Kids have had heart attacks...
Yes you are right here in Italy 39 yr old girl got heart attack during sleep and died. Silent attack during sleep people dying.
Exactly. Unexpected for the family, but…
That girlfriend playing poor me professional victim is full of BS. Why didn't the dead wife change that insurance beneficiary? An EMT is NOT a paramedic
Interesting that the neighbor/journalist is Nina Burleigh who all of us in NYC know for her own sordid tale of getting married to an architect in the city, getting ready to move with him to Chicago and then the day after the wedding meeting a photographer in a bar, falling for him (he was 10 years her junior), divorcing and marrying the new man. No comparison but just interesting.
*Everybody* in NYC knows? Wow.
Kind of like Jerry Seinfeld's wife.
Wow! One day married and went to a bar without her husband says a lot! Is she still married to this new guy?
@@katerinagiannioudi401 It wasn't one day.
I was HOPING that the puzzle would be taken APART in the end!! Would have been more "fitting!"
YIKES! WHAT FREAKS.
Those poor children.😢😢❤
How does it go from love to murder in 10 years?
Sometimes a lot less.
Because it was never love to begin with for him.
LaFrance is the name of a company in Elmira, NY that build fire engines and emergency equipment
The second story is just as sad 😢
So, if he’d remained faithful to girlfriend she’d never have admitted it! Whoa, that’s hard! What on earth made her think he’d be faithful to her. I’m sorry, but if she knew about the plan and didn’t alert anyone , she’s complicit. Guilty as much as he is. Life in prison - and we mean life! - at the very least. Gosh, I was always against the death penalty but people like this make you change your mind. Poor, poor children. Learning that dad killed their mom. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
True
My mom always said "If he leaves his wife for you, he will leave you for somebody else. It will be easier the second time."
I was hoping they somehow managed to mess up that silly symbolic puzzle and end up with a mangled portrait
He killed her on my birthday. Geez... the more criminal investigation documentaries I watch the more I find that crimes were committed in the window of Dec 11-13th, or were taken to court in that area. It's odd and slightly uncomfortable to know that at the time when I celebrate reaching another year, someone's life gets taken or is finalized for their crime by the justice system.
Hun, you enjoy your birthday - guilt free! People do stupid things every day of the year.
Your birth date is special for you and your family. For this reason, of course, you will notice any coincidences. I, too, noticed that my birth month and my wedding anniversary were cropping up, but I will not mourn for others at this time - out of unnecessary guilt. You should do the same. It is just one day. 😇🥰💯🕊🇬🇧
On your ;birthday ' or the anniversary of your Birthday
Understand that you can only be born ' once '
So there is only ever ONE birthday
The rest are ANNIVERSARIES

They are in fact terrified of it - and despise it

offends them -
Oddly enough that’s how I feel about the my birthday/month of May. There always seems to be something sinistre happening in May
He killed her the same way he killed her husband who had stroke when he recovered he suddenly died in the hospital days before discharge.
he killed him upon her request bc she was dating him while her husband was laying in hospital bed "karma"
I find it outrageous that Michelle and Scott could think Paul justified in MURDERING HIS WIFE. Or pretend to.
Paul is a keeper😂
what is really scary is these are paramedics. How was the addiction not picked up.
He used a drug that Paralyzed her. I had that drug when I was in the hospital. I was aware of everything that was going on but I could not move. It was a terrible feeling and if he murdered her no I know he murdered her that she would have. Known what was going on as I did as I laid in my hospital bed with the same medicatit.Was terrible.She knew exactly what was happening to her but she couldn't not do a thing.He is a big PO.S
I work with neuromuscular blockading drugs (ICU RN here). Everything you say here is true. They teach us that sedation and analgesics are to be provided at regular doses (as appropriate) and airway control MUST be ensured (ET tube or trach). These drugs (like most) can have terrible consequences if misused, as in this case. What a sick bastard Paul is.
I LOVE THIS SHOW !!!!!!!!❤❤
🙋🏾♀️😳😳😳 this is sad and this is weird and was weird for me. These people are trained are supposed to be confident in helping saving lives, and they themselves need to be saying they have all type of psychological issues bipolar. Why are you working SNMT emetic and you got bipolar, I would trust you with my life and you have bipolar yourself. You need to be help you need to be monitored. You need to be watched. This is weird “”weird”””😳😳😳. thanks for uploading this now when I see him teasing the ambulance ambulance when I see them I’m gonna wonder if they suffering from bipolar and his hearing😳.
Stroke he said she died of a heart attack because he gave her the shot of whatever it was that killed you know her so he would know that it was supposed to mimic a heart attack just like just like when her husband died everybody assumed that he had a stroke but he didn't have a stroke he was killed she probably gave him a little bit of it and then when they got to the hospital she instructed chest to give him the full lethal dose
I’m a man, we look at things. We can’t help it. It’s in our nature. But any creep that looks his stuff at work. Yuk. Red flag for me.
Why DID companies like The EMS ALLOWED THEM TO WORK IN THE MENTAL CONDITION THEY WERE IN? UNSTABLE UNBELIEVABLE!
So the girlfriend was okay with him murdering his wife as long as she was his girlfriend.. But now that she's not his girlfriend, all the sudden she has a problem with it? What makes her think that he would not have done this to her? She's lucky that he just decided to mess around with somebody else and not be faithful to her, rather than kill her too 🤦
Why are some people dumb enough to be with someone they know killed their spouse? Why wouldn’t you think you could be next?
The only person who you can change is yourself.
Catherine was very naive.
Rest in peace, Catherine.
If someone tells you that they'll murder anyone, go to the police and report it 😢
That mistress is an accessory after the fact. She should be imprisoned
Talking about killing his wife, a JOKE????
Exactly, nothing funny about it!
Damn he’s probably the smarter criminal I’ve seen . Used a different car, drugged the kids, left phone at home , booties, duct tapes clothes ect. Had those 2 not come forward he just may have gotten away with it 😮😮
The constant moving of puzzle pieces is so annoying!
They do it too slowly.
LOL 😂
Agreed, it bothers me too 🥴
What a tragedy...........................Life is about making the right choices.
The problem with life is that you probably won't know that you made a bad choice until the choice has already been made.
Whip out the laundry list of diagnostic terms people use to try and excuse their behavior and poor me professional victim mode. Immediately cue fake tears, sanctimonious outrage, false claims and outright LIES. Immediately deploy the professional victim textbook and victimology textbook.
That "connection " is LUST. Not "love".
That friend is so annoying with her community and not having someone too look after her kids or gossip.
2nd story does seem like they both met their match 🤢
Murder aside, what the hell was WRONG with his coworkers to put up with his unprofessional shite at work??? What gives with NY EMTs???
Those poor children....
What the hell makes friends throw away their lives, risk it all by helping their crazy friends commit murder ?
Thats the death penalty surely
Ok. In this case he killed her. But a calm voice isn't that unusual from a person trained in medicine. Shock and/or being in handling a crises mode can make people act like that too.
Yes. Sudden adult cardiac death can happen. It's a misfire of the heart rhythm. Did they have an EP see her to check for an electrical malfunction in her heart? Did anyone think chaz aided to her problems in the hospital? Did anyone watch him when he visited her? It's a good thing they checked her blood. Was it given to her for intubation?
Catherine: how cute is her wedding dress and hat? She should have had her happy ending.
4 ex husbands??!! Wtf!!? Who believes that woman was sane??!!
Both these cases would’ve been solved before anything happened if only two people who clearly didn’t get along wouldn’t have gotten together
The minute you said porn addiction and drugs, to me, that’s a huge deal breaker.
You should cover the Meaghan McDonald Case out of Middletown NY!!!
Higgs is now released on bail.
At 55:55 ,was that still part of the "reconstruction"?😂
If Paul didnt cheat on her then what?
A little bit guilty?! She should be feeling a lot guilty.
I work in an ER and we keep Succinylcholine in our airway cart with a code of 1234. It's not even regulated, checked or accounted for because we use it alot in emergency situations. Kind of scary ay
This story rings way too many bells
Shame on that lady. 4 years? Smh
I feel very sorry for the wife. She obviously was a very doting mother and I feel terrible that she wasn’t t able to be in her child’s lives…….BUT I also feel terrible for that dog trapped in a cage. Horrible, despicable excuse of a human being!
Novak thinks he needs a driver (who I'm sure he offered money in order to do it) but the driver doesn't even drive him back from the murder? Novak has to drive. And the investigators can't even figure out it's arson and murder? She wouldn't have had smoke inhalation since she already would have been dead. So Novak gets all the insurance money. Thanks for being stupid, insurance company! His girlfriend and his friend were fine with murder too. Neither of them were "good" people. They also had "twisted morals."
Nothing worst then a women scorned. But thank goodness she finally told the truth. Justice for Catherine Novak, but could bring her back, but still justice.
It was okay with his girlfriend until he cheated on her, but she knew what he did and lied and stayed with him for 4 more years! What a piece of crap! Knowing what he did to the mother of his children, why wouldn’t you think he could do that very easily to you!
Indeed. And a lot of men like this guy do exactly what you are talking about!
All of the EMTs Are Complicit!
Chaz Higgs sounds a bit like The Donald.
Maybe don’t start a video by telling us the end at the start mate
Sooo he described to her how he murdered his wife , and you , the side chick thought this was good husband material? You had no problem closing your eyes and sleeping next to him at night , but he got a new woman and you developed a conscience? Uh huh 🙄. I’m surprised she survived, like they say , when a man marries his mistress he creates a vacancy.
Rural New York is beautiful, but seems to collect a fair number of sketchy characters.
Neighbors r just nosy asking her probaby to many personel questions 🇺🇲
They didnt skip a meal
38:18 that's not how strangling works at all. Who directed the reenactments? 😅
Girlfriend needed some time too
i find myself drawn to that woman Linda Rodriguez, Hi, my name is beholder & beauty is in my eye
Hell I mean I find it very weird behavior for a woman to lose her husband and take another man that allegedly is a stranger to Hawaii only like a few weeks later I find it odd that a woman would take a man nurse out to lunch and start marrying him three weeks later they got married and this was like a week later he died that they went to Hawaii I want even question that s*** that's the behavior of a person that just killed her husband and is getting a million dollar life insurance policy that's how you that's a person that killed their husband that's that's how you behave what he's doing is exactly the same thing only less it's not like he's out taking somebody some nurse to Hollywood or Hawaii or a f****** you know like on a cruise or some s*** that would be suspicious right but it wasn't when she did it I just can't wrap my mind around the difference between what he's doing after she died and the way that she behaved after her husband died like a week later that's weird to me this is why I believe that Kathy knew this guy way before her husband died and she actually arranged for her husband to die because he didn't want her to be in politics anymore and no one even questioned that s*** that is crazy to me they wouldn't be able to see what they did to her husband after he died they wouldn't be able to find anything they would just assume it was a stroke because of his age and that's exactly what they did but now that she's dead it's a it's a big deal I find that funny
I wonder if she has something to do with her husband's death is it possible that she killed her husband she gave him something that would have given him a stroke and nobody even bothered to look into it because of who she was and how old he was it's interesting how old much older he was to her then you know what I mean like if this was anybody else it would have looked like a murder I wonder if Kathy had something to do with her first two I wonder if she had something to do with her husband's death is what I'm saying before she died like a million-dollar life insurance policy on an old man that seems a little extreme also she takes this f****** nurse on a honeymoon or a vacation that you're supposed to take with your husband I thought they were separated I thought her and her husband had been separated to begin with so what the hell was she what was this Hawaii trip about you know it doesn't make any sense she literally just met this guy and 3 weeks later they're married I wonder if she had known him before that I wonder I mean the whole the whole he happens to work in the same hospital that her husband dies and he happens to go with her to the Hawaii trip if they happen to get married three weeks after knowing each other maybe she knew him more than she claims that she did
Kathy seemed to be intelligent. Why would she leave everything to a scum bag like Paul ? Love be damned , he may have gotten a smidge of the pie, but the greater portion would have been left in trust for my children .
The background sound track is too loud and very annoying, I ended up turning it off.
Not in my device
These two shouldn’t have married. They didn’t like the same kind of life. No matter how many sparks fly in the bedroom, if your goals are diametrically opposed to one another, it won’t work! You have to be able to be friends that can be together doing the ordinary, mundane, and even tedious. Paul, however, is a scumbag. Normal people just get divorced. If need be, forgo the child support to keep the peace. Work three jobs if need be. Do not murder your wife. Better be know as a deadbeat Dad and womanizer than a murderer. And torching the dog? That’s just low!
Oh the girlfriend felt guilty all of a sudden because it was her turn to deal with the same thing his wife went through if she was still with that man she wouldn’t care like she didn’t care before when she was living good off that money he got for killing his wife she’s as guilty as he is.
When her husband died everything that he did he just did it again with with her like you know like I don't know how you guys don't see that Kathy's a murderer too
She was beautiful
You know what it sounds to me like she would have only she only clung to this guy because he had a secret about her and him that secret being that they killed her first husband and she didn't want him to leave that's why he was able to clean out her f****** bank accounts ruin her career and all this s*** you understand what I'm saying like it just doesn't seem right to me it doesn't make sense otherwise it doesn't make sense you know I I can't help but wonder if she had something to do with her older husband's death you know like do you see what I'm going with like do you see where I'm going with this and I don't think that jazz or whatever his name is I don't even think he's straight I think he's homosexual who's using women to get what he needs and that's it that's all he ever did that's why he's always at the gym he's actually at a bath house bathhouse where he's not actually working out he's he's losing weight just not not in the way you think if you know what I'm saying he was losing weight is not the way you think and he was definitely addicted to protein just not the kind of protein you think
1:04:30 1:04:31 1:04:32 1:04:33 1:04:34 1:04:35 1:04:36 1:04:37 1:04:38 1:04:39
What has Chaz Higgins done to his wife well he did the same thing that he did to her husband you know the same thing they the two of them did to her original husband I guarantee they killed him and it was only because she was 50 years old that they thought well this isn't right she's only 50 but did you think that I think that I bet if they exhumed her first husband well not her first husband the husband that died just prior to Chaz I bet they'll find that he died in much the same way she did
Alright so maybe Chaz here kills her the way that she and he killed her husband doesn't that seem like that might be possible whatever he did to kill her husband for her in that hospital that time when her husband died of a alleged stroke perhaps that's what he just used on her to kill her as well because hey it worked with her husband why wouldn't it work with her
Not antisocial probably like me dont mess with my nosy neighbors 🇺🇲
This is A NARCISSIST BEHAVIOR 😮
as soon as i hear 'steroids' im like 'figures' .... ppl dont realise just how dangerous 'roid heads are.... personally i think theyre the most dangerous drugs out there
So he filed for bankruptcy, you married him and want to be a stay at home mom? OK!!!
Well how was Kathy able to carry on as if her husband had just died she was carrying on because she was in bed with Chaz because she had known him before her husband died I mean give me a f****** break here
She was very pretty she did not have to be with nobody like him
Good looks dont have much to do with anything.
