Kathy Marie Alfano Augustine (May 29, 1956 – July 11, 2006) was an American politician from Nevada. A Republican, Augustine served in the Nevada Assembly (1993–1995) and in the Nevada Senate (1995–1999). She was Nevada's first female State Controller, serving from 1999 until her 2006 death, except for a brief period of suspension during her 2004 impeachment trial which led to censure but not termination from office.[1][2] She was murdered in 2006 by Chaz Higgs, her fourth husband, who was sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole.
