In the predawn hours of May 28, 1981--as her terrified sons watched from across the hall--Christine Jean Schultz was brutally murdered in the bedroom of her suburban Milwaukee home. Less than one month later twenty-on-year-old ex-policewoman and Playboy bunny Lawrencia "Bambi" Bembenek was arrested for the slaying of her husband's ex-wife. A jury of her peers found her guilty of murder in the first degree. She was sentenced to life. After eight years Bambi Bembenek escaped and fled to Canada. And on October 14, 1991, a Milwaukee judge ordered a secret investigation into the strange circumstances leading up to Bambi's arrest and conviction. What really happened? Did Bambi Bembenek cold-bloodedly kill Christine Schultz? Or was she framed by a corrupt Milwaukee police department? Award-winning journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Kris Radish supplies a chilling portrait of a woman who has become a symbol for injustice with a poignant message: "This could happen to anyone."
