Lori Benek, a former Playboy Bunny and police officer, was framed for murder in the early 1980s and spent 10 years in prison. She wrote a book about her experience after being released.
she ended up writing a book about it after the fact so I was able to go in and kind of see she's no longer with us now she passed away at age 50 but she but we did get convicted she did and she spent 10 years in prison she escaped she met someone in prison they escaped she went to Canada got caught there and she was only extra-died back to the states when they agreed to retry the case so she ended up getting second-degree but time served so she was free after that but it was just a wild story and it got so much press attention at the time and by the time she escaped everybody was kind of rooting for her and they cut her nickname was bambi so it was like run bambi remember this I remember this like made for TV movie now yeah because they called her bambi in the police academy training they all had nicknames for each other well you know it's just it is just so it's so interesting how press and media you know any kind of like even when you watch a date line or whatever if it it's like a Hollywood story you know and they're like oh I'm like all let me get into this one and it's like they'll exaggerate how much the person even worked in Hollywood it'll be like for sure and she had you know and you're like wait a minute she was an extra for one day yeah like but anything to kind of like grab on that the players in it were Hollywood driven or attractive so then any association with playboy you know just really ups the interest but then of course it can be really used against you too when in this in this case it's frustrating because back then there was no social media or anyways she could really speak for herself and she couldn't do a tech talk and be like oh excuse me yeah like I was really a police officer not just a waitress for three weeks yeah and they fired me because I was being hit on and I was gonna talk about it or whatever the case might have been or they were just pissed that they were even allowing women back then to be cops or whatever
