Stacey Arthur was a former Playboy model and actress who was chosen as the Playmate of the Month for January 1991. She was also Mrs. Ohio for the 1990 Mrs. America contest. However, her life took a dark turn when her husband, James Alan Arthur, was killed by a fan in a murder-suicide on October 29, 1991. The fan, James Lindberg, shot and killed James Arthur on a street in Bellefontaine, Ohio, where the family lived, and then killed himself. The incident was the subject of a documentary series called “The Playboy Murders: All That Glitters” that aired in 2023.

Stacey Arthur claimed that she was raped and sodomized by three Playboy employees at the Playboy Mansion on October 6, 1991, and that the magazine’s inaction led to the death of her husband. She filed a $70 million lawsuit against Playboy and others in 1992, but the case was dismissed due to lack of evidence and inconsistencies in her statements. The three employees who had sex with her were fired for violating company policy, but they denied any wrongdoing and said the sex was consensual.

Stacey Arthur lived a private life after the tragedy and had three children from prior marriages. She died on April 5, 2019, at the age of 50, after a short battle with illness. Her death received limited media coverage, as she had withdrawn from the public eye. She was buried at the Glen Haven Memorial Gardens in New Carlisle, Ohio.
