a line from "mentalist" S04E08......."She( a female police who just got killed) was our best, she had to be, you've met her family, she was putting that husband of hers through school".
Please explain "that husband of hers", a little weird, sounds like more than one husband. Why not just use "her husband"?

It is a colloquial way to say her husband. The phrase has more emphasis than just using the words ‘her husband’. The emphasis can be positive or negative. Also it can mean the speaker knows about the person but does not know the person well. I know she has a husband but I have not met him or I do not know is name.
I never liked that husband of hers, and now he’s left her. =negative
That boyfriend of hers always helps around the apartment, I see him help with her kids, I don’t know his name but he seems like a good guy = positive.
Have you met that new girlfriend of his?
Wait, he has a new girlfriend? Nah I haven’t heard anything.
I saw her leaving his apartment when I went to see him last Saturday but he didn’t introduce us. He hasn’t told me anything about her either.
