Run, Bambi, Run: The Beautiful Ex-Cop and Convicted Murderer Who Escaped to Freedom and Won America's Heart
This is the fascinating story of Lawrencia Ann Bembenek. "Bambi," as she became known, was a gorgeous ex-cop who married a cop. A few months later she was charged with the murder of his ex-wife. Though all of the evidence was circumstantial and there was never a motive given for her crime, she was convicted of first-degree murder and sent to prison. Trusting in the judicial system, Bambi submitted appeal after appeal only to see each one struck down for very flimsy reasons. After spending ten years fighting the system, she escaped through an 8-inch hole in the laundry room. With the help of her lover, she fled to Canada. Profiled on America's Most Wanted , she was soon captured. She is presently seeking refugee status in Canada, claiming she cannot find justice in America. Run, Bambi, Run makes it plain that what happened to Bambi could happen to anyone. Recommended for true-crime collections.- Belinda J.
