Playboy Bunny Laurie ‘Bambi’ Bembenek And Milwaukee Cop Dies At 52

Posted by Brad On November - 22 - 2010

Lawrencia Bembenek, the former Playboy Club waitress-turned-police-officer-turned-escaped-convict-on-the-loose, has died. She was 52.

Known as “Bambi” to her supporters, Bembenek became a sort of beautiful folk hero to fans who believed she was framed for the 1981 murder of her cop-husband’s ex-wife. She inspired the chant “Run, Bambi, Run,” when she escaped prison in 1990.

Re-captured months later in Canada, Bembenek maintained her innocence and her story was featured in books, television talk shows and made-for-TV movies.
