One of Hugh Hefner’s less joyful stories when it comes to his catalogue of beauties, their careers and successes.

Stacy Leigh Arthur was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for January 1991 in which she appeared for a nude pictorial and centerfold.  Stacy’s success at Playboy also saw her starring in several Playboy videos and she also went on to become Miss Ohio in the Mrs America contest in 1990.

Born in Illinois in June 1968, Stacy was one of a few Playboy models who were married at the time of a Playboy appearance. Stacy married her husband Jim but their story was not to be a happy one when a fan took his obsession with Stacy too far and believing that she was the victim of domestic violence, murdered her husband.

Mr Arthur’s murderer, James Lindberg became obsessed with Stacy following Playboy’s launch of their 900 hotline number where fans were able to call in and speak directly to Playboy models. Lindberg became a regular caller to Stacy running up bills of hundreds of dollars.

Lindberg made it his mission to track Jim Arthur down, murdered him, and then turned his gun on himself in a parking lot behind a building Stacy owned in Bellefontaine, Ohio.

Understandably, since that time, Stacy has maintained a very low key private life style and never attends signings or functions which draw attention to herself.
