LAPD Detective Stephanie Lazarus Murder Suspect - Full Length Police Interrogation Video
Full Length Police Interrogation Video
Sherri Rasmussen (February 7, 1957 – 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. Rasmussen had been beaten and shot three times in a struggle. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) initially considered the case a botched burglary, and the crime remained unsolved.
Rasmussen's father believed that Stephanie Lazarus, an LAPD officer, was a prime suspect. Detectives who re-examined the cold case files in 2009 were eventually led to Lazarus, by then herself a detective. A DNA sample she unknowingly discarded was matched to one from a bite on Rasmussen's body that had remained in the files. 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.
Lazarus appealed the conviction, claiming that the age of the case and the evidence denied her due process. 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. In 2015, the guilty verdict was upheld by the California Court of Appeal.[5]
Some of the police files suggest that evidence that could have implicated Lazarus earlier in the investigation was later removed, perhaps by others in the LAPD. Rasmussen's parents unsuccessfully sued the department over this and other aspects of the investigation. Jennifer Francis, the criminalist who found key evidence from the bite mark, unsuccessfully sued the City of Los Angeles, claiming she was pressured by police to favor certain suspects in this and other high-profile cases and was retaliated against when she brought this to the LAPD's attention.

Genius Suspect Walks Out of Interrogation Room | The Case of Mohamed Diane In 2022, a well-known LGBTQ advocate vanished, and soon after, his body was found in a landfill. At the center of the mystery was Mohamed Diane—a man caught in a dangerous game he never meant to play. He had the victim’s things but claimed he didn’t know they were tied to a murder. During questioning, he seemed unsure, caught between fear and truth, silence and survival. As detectives pressed on, it became clear: Mohamed wasn’t the killer, but he wasn’t exactly innocent either—and staying quiet might’ve been his biggest mistake.
