The Playboy Murders returns to Investigation Discovery this Monday, exploring another tragic case from the magazine’s archive. Airing at 9 PM ET, The Doctor and the Bunny (Season 3, Episode 4) tells the story of Jackie Hendrickson, a Playboy Bunny whose illicit affair with Atlanta plastic surgeon Dr. Warren Brown sets off a chain of events that ends in violence.
The episode picks up in the 1970s, where Hendrickson’s glamorous life as a Bunny comes with a strict rule—no fraternizing with customers. That rule is thrown out the window when she meets Brown, and a forbidden romance begins. The affair, unsurprisingly, leads to scandal—and worse.
The Playboy Murders walks a tightrope between revisiting the allure of a bygone era and exposing its underbelly. The series excels at telling intimate stories that speak to larger cultural questions—in this case, the changing attitudes around sex, love, and public image.
“The Playboy Murders” airs Monday, June 2nd at 9:00 PM ET on Investigation Discovery.
