Police Brutality: LAPD detective Stephanie Lazarus has been charged with the murder of Sherri Rasmussen. The case was cold for 23 years, although the victims father, Nels Rasmussen, always suspected that Lazarus killed his daughter.


At the time, Sherri Rasmussen was newly married to Lazarus ex-boyfriend, and authorities suspect it may have been a crime of passion. According to the LA Times, Nels claimed Lazarus threatened his daughter in the months before her murder, telling her If I cant have John, nobody can.

On Feb. 24, 1986, Sherris husband returned to their condominium and found his wifes body on the living room floor. She was beaten badly, had several bite marks, and had been shot multiple times. The couples marriage license had also been stolen from the condo.

Two men who had robbed a woman in the area at gunpoint were the lead suspects. Sherris parents offered a $10,000 reward for the mens capture, but a search for the men led nowhere, and the case went cold.

Back then, the LAPD were dismissive of the requests of Sherris parents to have Lazarus investigated.

Fast forward to 2009 when DNA evidence can narrow down the suspects. After testing Sherris bite marks for DNA, it came back female, which then prompted detectives to obtain a DNA sample from Lazarus.

Stephanie Lazarus was arrested Friday at police headquarters, and is being held without bail. Her arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday and if convicted, she could face the death penalty.

    OLD and full of flaws are you, you MELON HEAD LAWYER.

    This case is OUTRAGEOUS. A clear COVER UP.

    Just LOOK one time to HER FACE, to HER EVIL EYES...

    NO DOUBT she would be able to commit the crime as charged. OR WORSE...

    Just in case I'm being a total stupid, THUMBS UP if you agree with me.

  • Hmm so in California if you go to county jail they insist on taking a DNA swab before you are released (even minor crimes like skipping a court date or drug possession)

    shouldn't it be mandatory that you submit DNA to be in law enforcement?

  • 6:42 even when she is smiling she has crazy eyes. 

  • Neighbors supporting her why because they are neighbors? Warm and caring? She is evil. It is in the eyes. Her attorney is the exact reason people hate attorneys. They lie, they know they are lying, and they know we know they are lying yet they ramble on in the name of the almighty dollar. I read that her DNA profile is so unique that it was one in a 400,000,000,000,000,000 (400 quadrillion) chance that it was someone else. Come on! I hope she frys! The sweet smell of burnt bacon!

  • bye, bye piggy piggy!!

  • She's guilty.

  • that cop is so full of shit making excuses for that bitch murdering cop lazerus...that fucking cunt

  • she is a killer gust look at her eyes

  • I hope that they will through the book at her, but she'll more then likely get a life time suspension from the police force, with pay.

  • She must have thought she was home free a long time ago and probably almost forgot about it.But SURPRISE!!!!!!LOL

  • Of course they're not gonna investigate another cop until they have to. That badge is a do anything and get away with it card.

  • bitch reminds me of officer howl from oz. she even looks like her!  hopefully she ends up in general population.
