S E A T T L E, Nov. 9, 2002 — Kathie O'Keefe says the 20 years she spent with a married man were "the best part of my whole life," as he showered her with gifts, love and attention.
"We were always crazy about each other," O'Keefe told ABCNEWS affiliate KOMO-TV in Seattle. "I guess you'd call us soul mates."
But now, according to a court ruling in favor of the married man's wife, it's payback time.
