The shadows behind the Playboy Mansion gates get a fresh look in Monday’s The Playboy Murders, airing on Investigation Discovery at 9 PM ET. Sex, Drugs and Playboy (Season 3, Episode 5) examines the death of Adrienne Pollack, whose family believes there’s more to the story than meets the eye.
As Pollack’s family begins their own investigation, they uncover a disturbing secret Adrienne had kept hidden. If their suspicions are true, the implications could reach all the way to Hugh Hefner himself. The episode revisits the changing cultural attitudes towards sex and fame in the era, and looks at the sometimes dangerous intersection of ambition and exploitation.
The Playboy Murders, a true-crime anthology series, focuses on the less glamorous side of the iconic magazine. The format allows for a deep dive into individual cases, often tied to the models and personalities who orbited the Playboy brand.
“The Playboy Murders” airs Monday, June 9 at 9:00 PM ET on Investigation Discovery.
