Playboy-related homicide cases
About The Playboy Murders
You don’t hear much about scandals related to Playboy, much less murders. But The Playboy Murders sheds light on murders of Playboy models and people related to them and delves into how the franchise sometimes directly or indirectly impacted these homicides.
Detectives, victims’ loved ones, writers, and those involved in the Playboy operation detail the cases, along with Playmate and Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriend Holly Madison (an executive producer of the show). She provides commentary and lets viewers in on some of the secrets behind the Playboy franchise. (For more on its secrets, check out Secrets of Playboy.)
Disappointingly, few cases relate to actual Playmates; these include Star Stowe, Dorothy Stratten, and Victoria Vetri. Other cases in the true crime show involve web or international Playboy models like Christina Carlin-Kraft and Kelsey Turner.
