> had a hit called on her by her crazy cop husband

This specifically. Her fiance wasn't a cop, he's "The Wolf of Aliquippa" Frank Catroppa.

When this happened years ago I was into it (I'm in Hopewell next door, and formerly lived in Aliquippa). The websites and references are gone now, but Catroppa used to own this "Prestige Worldwide" company (not the real name but something similarly stupidly named) that was basically him taking a cut from sending kids out to sign people up for Comcast subscriptions. It was the most obvious money laundering company I've ever seen in real life. He has since diversified into owning Cosmo (totally not money laundering front)
