In 2015, the guilty verdict was upheld by the California Court of Appeal. She also alleged that the search warrant was improperly granted, her statements in an interview prior to her arrest were compelled, and that evidence supporting the original case theory should have been admitted at trial. Lazarus appealed the conviction, claiming that the age of the case and the evidence denied her due process. Lazarus was convicted of the murder in 2012 and is serving a sentence of 27 years to life for first-degree murder at the California Institution for Women in Corona. A DNA sample she unknowingly discarded was matched to one from a bite on Rasmussen's body that had remained in the files. Detectives who re-examined the cold case files in 2009 were eventually led to Lazarus, by then herself a detective. Rasmussen's father believed that Stephanie Lazarus, an LAPD officer, was a prime suspect. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) initially considered the case a botched burglary, and the crime remained unsolved. Rasmussen had been beaten and shot three times in a struggle. Sherri Rasmussen (Febru– February 24, 1986) was an American woman found dead in February 1986 in an apartment she shared with her husband, John Ruetten, in Van Nuys, California. The crime is not funny! but Stephanie is so stupid she is funny! like MENTAL funny but up most respect for the victim and family of this terrible crime. Remember this woman shot Sherri Rasmussen in the face more than once and then Bit her after her death leaving DNA on the body! She had also smashed a basin over her head before killing her but failed to even have said two words to the lady! couldn't remember even her Name! This was a murder in a love triangle with Stephanie being green with anger at John Ruetten marrying someone other than her. Matthew's deeply researched book is available wherever books are sold. T&T recommends Matthew McGough's June 2011 article in The Atlantic as a primer for the case and this video. This is the complete interview video of former LAPD Detective Stephanie Lazarus on June 5th, 2009 shortly before her arrest. Video recorded 6/5/09, day of Lazarus's arrest. She gets nailed in 2009 by a cold case unit who has her DNA. Why is it good: A female LA cop gets tired of being the on-off side chick of college boyfriend turned married man, and kills his wife after stalking her for weeks, making it look like a burglary. She neglects to remove a saliva sample from a bite wound on the victim, and gets summoned to an interview 23 years later. Then removed the evidence against her at the police station. What: In 1986, She kills the wife of her boyfriend John, who has sent her mixed signals and kept her hoping for more.
