laurie bambi bembenek

Saturday saw the death of ex Playboy Club bunny and Milwaukee police officer Laurie "Bambi" Bembenek who launched the phrase "Run Bambi Run". She was taken by a case of liver failure at a hospice care centre in Portland, Oregon, said her longtime attorney, Mary Woehrer.

Bembenek worked briefly as a Playboy Club waitress in Lake Geneva before becoming a police officer in Milwaukee, where she married detective Fred Schultz. Bembenek was convicted in 1982 of fatally shooting his ex-wife, Christine Schultz, after allegedly complaining about the alimony he had to pay. Bembenek was sentenced to life in prison but spent more than two decades insisting on her innocence and never fully clearing her name. Her attorney said on Sunday that effort will continue.

So a sad end to Bembenek's struggle for justice and fighting for her innocence but the case will continue into her death.
