This week on Menopause is Murder, Angela tells the unbelievable story of Lawrencia Bembenek—a former Playboy Club waitress and Milwaukee police officer whose life became a sensational mix of murder, scandal, prison, and one very famous escape. In 1981, Bembenek was convicted of murdering her husband’s ex-wife, Christine Schultz, but she insisted from the beginning that she was innocent. Questions about the investigation, disputed evidence, and allegations of corruption would fuel doubts about her conviction for years. Then she did something guaranteed to turn a controversial murder case into a media frenzy—she escaped from prison, inspiring the infamous slogan “Run, Bambi, Run.” Was she a cold-blooded killer who tried to outrun justice, or a woman railroaded by a system she had already dared to challenge? Angela takes us through the twists, evidence, scandals, and unanswered questions behind one of Wisconsin’s most notorious true-crime stories.
