Run, Bambi, Run
Laurie Bembenek was a Milwaukee police officer and Playboy Club bunny before being arrested for the murder of her husband’s ex-wife, a crime she insisted she did not commit. Nicknamed “Bambi Bembenek,” she became a tabloid fixation, a feminist cause célèbre and, after she escaped from prison, an American folk hero, though she was never exonerated. Journalist and Campside Media co-founder Vanessa Grigoriadis takes a fresh look at the case Diane Sawyer called the "most glamorous murder case of the 1980s.” New episodes out every Monday. Run Bambi Run is an Apple Original podcast, produced by Campside Media. Listen and follow on Apple Podcasts. https://apple.co/RunBambiRun

Loved this podcast! We’ll researched and rally well told. I’m definitely on Bambi’s team, just don’t feel like she had anything to do with it. Honestly feel like it’s a case of police corruption at its finest.
Who dunnit?

This is extremely detailed and well researched. The woman at the centre of it had hardly started her life when she was convicted, falsely, it would seem, of her husband’s ex wife’s murder. The narrator places us thoughtfully back in the 80s and 90s at a time when women’s rights in the workplace were tenuous at best, particularly in male dominated fields such as policing. In Bambi’s case, this would prove to be her undoing. There are no winners, as the real killer has never been unmasked. The judicial system showed itself to be weak and open to manipulation. The collateral damage of her conviction was immense. :(. If you could place this crime 40 years later, you would hope for a different outcome.
Amazing
