Widow unlucky with mob and cops alike

NEW YORK, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- A New York widow who married three mobsters and a cop says she can't get respect from either side of the law.

Kym Kennaugh, 44, broke seven years of silence following her policeman-husband's execution style killing to tell the New York Daily News how ostracized she feels.

As a teen, she married Thomas Capelli, a reputed Colombo soldier. They divorced, and when her second husband, Enrico Carini, was gunned down in 1987, another Colombo mobster stepped in to comfort her. They split in 1994.

Then she married officer Ralph Dols in 1995, but he too was gunned down by two mobsters two years later.

"The street guys hated me for being with a cop, the cops hated me because of my old life," Kennaugh said. "When Ralph died, I was branded. I was hated. Everyone blamed me. They still do."

She said she is never invited to the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association's Widows and Children's Fund events. Kennaugh did get $100,000 from the police department, but her medical insurance was cut off.
