JUST FINISHED LISTENING: 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.”

MY VERDICT: This podcast was interesting to listen to, the story is almost unbelievable but there is a big drawback to it, and completely out of the podcaster’s control, that many of the people you’d love to talk to for the story were no longer alive to share their story, including the main subject ‘Bambi’. This left some holes in the story and sometimes the more people missing the more you wondered why they went ahead with telling the story in such a long investigative piece with so few people talking.
