From Monday’s New York Times:

Lawrencia Bembenek, ‘Bambi’ in Murder Case, Dies at 52

Lawrencia Bembenek, a former Playboy bunny and Milwaukee police officer whose conviction for the murder of her husband’s ex-wife and audacious escape from prison became tabloid and TV-movie fodder and a cause célèbre for supporters who insisted on her innocence — as she always did — died Saturday in a hospice in Portland, Ore. She was 52.

Yowza.

And it just gets better from there.
