All I could think of when listening to her talk is the “waahaguaguha - LIPSTICK in my Valentino white bag??” vine


Where was the taser during this rambling lying story? Batteries 🔋must’ve been dead.


Why would u put that clip in the end man, I was watching in the dark in the middle of the night!!!! I'm shaking


That exorcist head spinning is so befitting of lazarus..


She acts like she dated John during the Bronze Age.


i just cant belive she horrased that woman  the prevous days at her work and noone from lapd  considered she is  a basic suspect and Interrogated he!r  It looks very poor job from the police and maybe someone from the department  covered her back


I’m 4 minutes in and not one mention of the constant dropping of the arm and hand on the table?

There are several analogies of this video. One of the better ones is 2 hours long by 4 body language experts and they mention her hand slapping along with other tell tale signs of deception. One analyst mentioned that if shrugging were an Olympic sport Stephanie would be a gold medalist! 😂🤣


Those facial expressions were charles manson levels of whacky


How are you?

“I… I l… gosh geez… I dunno it’s been years”


Psychopath who caught. She was lying the whole time. She was found guilty!!!


Did i hear it right? investigator said"we understand that,if we were in your position we would kill the same way"


This reminds me a lot of the movie fatal attraction


A cop criminal is a hired killer. Shame on the person who hired her. You know she killed her old boy friend. She almost died when they asked her questions. No no Stephanie you are the one is crazy. You are a killer of a beautiful lady.


its the 80"s feathered mullet for me. We get it! you taught DARE!!!


Stephanie, what did you have for breakfast?  Ohhh jeez, wow, darn, I don't know, I mean it's been like a million years ago!


where is the full video? there was a previous one that was way longer


Wait a violent person can't possibly be cap right?


the fact that shes literally a police officer and this terrible of a liar is crazy, and considering shes been alive for a million years it seems insane that she doesnt know how to lie yet

her over exaggerated movements piss me off, and ugh like her tone is just so annoying omfg it's like my mom trying to gaslight me


Her faces at the end reminds me of Charles Manson.


Her facial expressions are so exaggerated, I've seen this before in people like inappropriate emotions


Omg I can’t believe she is married. Imagine waking up to that every morning and having to hear her say oh geez 260x a day

@Lou Seinas I’m safe I don’t like crazy nor do I mingle with average or less looking ones

@Secular Argument you just asking to get roasted .. but i feel you hahaha

She's not a looker nor does she have a charming personality. Note to guys. Never go for crazy broads.

Well not everyday u r taken as suspect for a murder u committed so.. here's to hoping her husband didn't suffer

@Secular Argument award for the horniest dude possible

@Patrick Sainato Hahaha 🤣 I imagine the the conversation at the breakfast table after making coffee:
“What plans do you have today sweetheart?”
“Gosh, well gee. Let me think… Yeah, well I mean, I made plans for today a million years ago. Um, geez, what year is it now?”

@Patrick Sainato "Well, the last time I made coffee was a million years ago. I was in Hawaii scuba diving with the 347th man I slept with. There were brightly colored fishies and my hair was really curly. The guy I was with had a parrot tattoo on his back and my scuba gear was blue. It was 1982 and John met us there. He was wearing yellow flip flops and his scuba gear was green. The scuba instructor's name was Jason and he was from Oregon. He had 4 sisters and graduated from Pepperdine in 1980. Sorry, but making coffee just doesn't sound familiar to me."

“Stephanie did you take out the trash?”<br>“Oh gosh… geez you know you’d think I’d remember something like that? If someone said I did… I I I - it just doesn’t sound familiar.”

“Stephanie did you take out the trash?”
“Oh gosh… geez you know you’d think I’d remember something like that? If someone said I did… I I I - it just doesn’t sound familiar.”

"Honey did you forget to pay the power bill? We needed to have that paid last month." "Gosh, Gee I dunno how do you expect me to remember that it was a MILLION years ago? I'm shocked! I'm really shocked!" "Stephanie it was only last month. You didn't pay it for last month." "Well geeze I dunno? I have a friend named Scmeda. '

“Honey did you make coffee yet?”

“Oh geez 🤷🏻♀🤷🏻♀ oh wow I dunno it was so long ago I—“

And in the evenings....the slide shows ..😫

imagine going to sleep every night worrying about not waking up. she makes all my red flags and instincts scream at me saying stay away..


25:00 when I’m trying to decide which donut to buy


but sociopaths dont have fear so how come did she get so nervouss


Pay attention to the narrator of these videos. He finishes every line with the exact same tone XD


Her heinous crime aside, she seems like she'd be pretty cool to talk to. She probably has a lot of crazy stories.


Cop interviews a cop. They just toooo nice.


What evidence did they have to convict ??? I've seen none here.

They had DNA on her. The DNA at the crime scene was a swab on the victims arm where Stephanie bit Sherri. A perfect match to Stephanie’s DNA that they already collected surreptitiously with a warrant. Stephanie didn’t know that during this interview.


Those eyes on the last screen shot are those of a sane person....


god bless the husband... that really is horrible...


19:35 Of course you have. A million years.


In the final part of the vid she seem like manson when he was asked the epic question " who are you ?"


I'm guessing John Rutten made a good choice in marrying Sherrri, but I know he made the right choice in not marrying this... 24:58

I'm guessing John Rutten made a good choice in marrying Sherrri, but I *_know_* he made the right choice in not marrying this... 24:58


The last bit from scary movie startled me😅


I remember this video being an hour long or around there. Why Did he make it so short

they probably had to cut out some stuff to be allowed to put it back up after youtube took it down


I'm in Simi Valley right now next to my cat watching this haha, shout out Ventura County 805 😄


Probably living a privileged life at the jail


Lol they actually read her the miranda rights after 1 hour


Women don't 4get when they met their husband 🙄 and she just had to answer how long they dated 🤦♀


You would thinks as a cop she would be smart enough to ask for a lawyer.


Her facial expressions are priceless. She's trying so hard to act like a human.

@RACCOON CHRONICLES That made feel really horrible,I am an empathy so the things that I see n feel are really bad sometimes & the thought of that being the last thing she saw really horrified Me. 😞

@Kiki Dee <br>Ugh. Never thought about it that way. No, her "murder face" would've been pure crazy-evil-horror.

@Kiki Dee
Ugh. Never thought about it that way. No, her "murder face" would've been pure crazy-evil-horror.

@Bobby B <br>That's hysterical! I wonder if she's watched this herself?

@Bobby B
That's hysterical! I wonder if she's watched this herself?

Every face she makes is cartoonishly over-exaggerated

@Sandra Swan I was saying her faces are normal like sarcasm.. but yea.. pretty defensive and suspicious

@Bailey Baker 37:18
If you're doing that kinda face and you're not on stage, you're probably bonkers

@My Animals she had to find right answers for avoiding to bring her around the crime...you can feel the tension...

Ever seen the vid Charles Manson's epic answer?  Reminds me of that

@Stan Salazar BROO!! I was LITERALLY about to say that when I read someone else’s comment about a monster inside of her and I was hoping someone didn’t beat me to it!! HAHAHA that shit’s funny as hell man!!

@Wyatt Corbett no, I think it's pretty fair to say that I'm not going to murder anyone anytime soon. And by the way, it's weird to me that you don't think the same way.

Also the faces one makes when they partake in a heroic dose of MDMA.... so I’ve heard. It’s been so long, Jeeez I don’t even remember.

She just can’t remember anyone’s names  or places. She gives tons of details about unimportant shit,  yet gets real vague “faint” memories when asked about   Anything specific  the more times they ask the more she Offers up

@Bailey Baker but they're so over exaggerated

Like it or not thats what humans are im sure you've done horrible things in your life your no different than hitler you could and would do the same thing given the right circumstances

i’m stoned eating my dinner and this has me crying of laughter.... so on point wow

Normal humans don't act like that. If she had nothing to do with the murder case, she would not have so many strange expressions on her face. She sounded very tense most of the time.

@Grim Fire Pause on 26:20..holy mother of God!

I admire people trying to put the humanity away from these morbid facts... true fact is that humans can be so bad, you could sometimes think you are facing the gates of hell.

The fact that she can fall into all of these tests  just like every other human proves she's human.  A bad mismade human sure

Murdering the wife of your lover is very human.

@existenceisrelative eggar your skin is hanging off your bones!

I know,right?! Her expressions are Crazy! She's friggin scary! I feel sorry that the last thing that the girl she killed saw was THAT face! Can't imagine her "murder" face being any better!

@Stan Salazar I know eggar, and that's not eggar. But jeeze, it was like a million years ago. What, are you saying that because it's not eggar that means i killed someone? I mean, jeeze, like, come on, like, i don't know, maybe. It was like a million years ago.

@Matt F Doakes was one of the only ppl who had Dexter sized up.

37:18 takes the cake, looks like she's got tourettes for a minute there...

Reminds me of the Roach in the human suit from Men In Black.

Haha this is how a human acts when they're being busted for murder.

Pause on 37:47 that's the crazyest face she makes in my opinion

Yeah, like a monster trying to wear a humans body


Her face at the end will give me nightmares


I'm sure they went back and took a second look at every case she was involved in. If you committed murder and seem to have no remorse whatsoever I'm sure she did plenty of other illegal things!


You have the right to remain silent.  It's actually highly recommended.


Lazarus is a super cool last name tho.

Sounds like a first name for a Millennials child.


Last time I watched this video must have been a million years ago!!


Kinda reminds me of the car salesman in Fargo.


Woman, being deceptive: "You know... you know... you know..."<br>Cops, being deceptive: "You know... you know... you know..."

Woman, being deceptive: "You know... you know... you know..."
Cops, being deceptive: "You know... you know... you know..."


Take a shot every time she throws her hand up


She sounds like Morty trying to explain something to Rick. "Oh Geez".


All these comments are so recent. Shoes you how good these videos are


Detectives: "We wanted to talk in here so you could have privacy and no one would see". Stephanie: "Thank you, I appreciate it"...  Video seen by MILLIONS of people.


i have alexithymia, so if i was in this situation they would see just a void of emotions. absolutely no feelings in my face at all. so it'd be hard for them to get anything.

@Stony Potson body language is one of the main reasons half these criminals get caught. and since i have this condition they won't see no emotion in my face and won't see nothing but a man sitting in a chair. get it right kid.


Your videos are so absent of everything clinical.


I've been wondering what happened to Steve Perry


the FACES this girl makes while lying is honestly hilariously embarrassing

Back to what the original post says, ahem, yes, those faces are cringe worthy and scary. For 20 years she thought she had gotten away with it. And now she has to face the music...

@Intended Viewer that's not ringing a bell to me...

Reminds me of my ex-wife to a tee. Same facial expressions, same kind of inane blathering. Side note - some crazy women are NOT good in bed.

@Traci Woolard they were hiding the camera so she didn't raise suspicions

I figured it out. It's the faces Trump pulls

Yeah those are the faces of a bottled up insane person

@Wesley Overdijk, I can understand that... though I don't totally agree.

That look on Biden's face when a reporter had to repeatedly ask, if he's "been falsely accused of Tara Reid's allegations; why won't he let the entire file be released for investigation"...

Now, Biden's facial expression was PRICELESS!!!

@violentauntie, WOW...!!!

How quickly a video of a murder suspect has turned to politics.

I could understand if this was Hillary rather than Stephanie...   LOL

@rutituti678, temper temper...

Remember what the doctor said...  LOL

@Wesley Overdijk Charles Manson made crazy faces like that in interviews.

@wesley. No her face reminds me of when Hillary, Biden and Bernie lie. Hillary and Bernie can't control their twitches and spastic eye-rolling, while Biden is just a total mess.

@Ida Marsi I wouldn't murder a love rival


If she was my gf and if she makes those faces at me I would run and take my dog with me


She rambled like Owen Wilson in a rom com


she sounds like Emily Prentiss from criminal minds


She should consider herself lucky it took so long for justice to be served.<br>That lady got 2 decades of freedom that she didn't deserve.

She should consider herself lucky it took so long for justice to be served.
That lady got 2 decades of freedom that she didn't deserve.

And only 27 years sentence. Fkn bullshit. Should be extra harsh considering she’s a fkn COP

All that free time to take pictures and develop selective amnesia.

@Izzat Ilmin I'm no expert but i think Psychopaths don't feel emotions as we do, basically they only care about themselves. In other words they are narcissistic and don't feel emotions, they just pretend to feel emotions to manipulate people

Scary this psycho has been a police detective ever since, especially after freeking out at the hospital, & committing such a brutal murder, & the "biting her?" wt- is a wack job like this doing on the force? What else could she have done in 20 yrs behind a badge?

That thought of murdering someone shouldn't escape her mind, but I guess it's somehow slipped every once in a while because she almost gets away with it so easy in the first place. I would not have a good sleep every day just thinking about it, I wonder how she can?


She reminds me of a blond actress on a witness stand.


For real i find myself rewatching videos too😂

Man if that’s not the truth!!! Great job 👏

Man if that’s not the truth!!! Great job 👏

@Charles Darwin me too, this channel is too addictive, I did Chris watts yesterday as my first doc here and I have watched like 6 of these docs now

@Uncle Thou  — 🎶 <b>Kiss meeeee. Beneath the milky twilight. Lead me, out on the moonlit floor.</b> 🎶

@Uncle Thou  — 🎶 *Kiss meeeee. Beneath the milky twilight. Lead me, out on the moonlit floor.* 🎶

I completely agree. Too bad he doesn’t post more often.

@Stephanie Simon   <br>Be glad you're not named Karen.

@Stephanie Simon
Be glad you're not named Karen.

Absolutely...also the comments on every last video are just pure gold lol

I just discovered this channel last week and I've been on a binge ever since

You said it! I have been binge watching lately

For real. I just discovered this channel by mistake. Now I'm watching gold content.

how dare you use words that i haven't learned yet? bingeable?

@Dylan Smith Relatable. But here's a tip. If you don't want to watch it all. Skip to the blank and white parts. They sum everything up for you quickly.

2:27 and I've just started, I was meant to get an early night ffs

And then you come out as a forensic scientist on the other side

I know, lol! It’s so freaking awesome! Found it about a week ago, too! Love all these videos

Been listening to these at work since I discovered the channel recently.

Found this channel this morning watched every episode today.

Charles Darwin  I have some questions for you Sir Darwin.

I've seen them all and still put them on repeat.

I just discovered it 2 days ago and I can’t stop watching!!

I literally just found it last night and am doing this

I'd be careful binging stuff like this, shit can weigh heavy on the heart and mind with how dark, nasty and evil some of them are.

@Prettie Pessimistik Yes everything is literally 10/10

عبدالله محمود علي

It is and I feel like you can learn a lot from it too.

Y'all should check out Real Detective on Netflix it's million times more interesting and bingeable than this.

عبدالله محمود علي

That’s what I’ve been spending my very productive saturday doing.

@Charles Darwin you're not charles darwin! 👀

I started on Chris Watts and I've been here ever since

I just found this channel 4 days ago and my gosh! I’m hooked!😅👍

Just got hip to this channel and that’s what I e been doing... however I’m watching it in daylight because these ppl crazy

Sarah Myers lol why?  Jim’s robotic voice surprisingly works quite well..

pisses me off she just HAS to be named Stephanie!

Bruv, I’ve been binging the whole night lol


The end os soooo funny. What a face! Chucky! Oh my God, cant stop laughing and rewatching whats his name great actor say ," Fuc this."


she is so not controlling her expression, she should have think about answers before


Watching John's victim impact speech, is insane.
Like dude- you're talking about how amazing this woman was, while at the same time you were cheating on her with a woman who kept threatening and intimidating her at her home and place of work.

Then after she is brutally murdered, you continue to see and sleep with the crazy woman who stalked and harassed her. (And murdered her.)

At first I thought it was gross that he talked about Sherri’s physical presence and beauty and all that… Like, what?  But you know Stephanie and he probably fought over Sherri multiple times. That woman was crazy. You know she didn’t harass Sherri at work and murder her in her home with out being all “pick me” with John and them having conversations about why he was with Sherri over her. I’m sure it came up that he was more attracted to Sherri, so  he knew going on about that in his statement would push Stephanie’s buttons. It’s what she probably thinks about in prison. So if he did it to mentally torture Stephanie, I can kind of get it.

Remember, he and the cop were seeing each other, then John happen to go to a party without the cop and he met Sherry. He pretty fell in love right there. Then he just blew the cop off. And some time later, when John and Sherry got engaged, the cop came over to John's house and she was over the top emotional, so John had sex with her, that one time. But John and Sherry moved past that. There was no "cheating", after he met Sherry, just that one time. I'm more than sure John regrets that to this day.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16❤

Yeah, but I guess he's also feeling extra  guilty about it now . + He's not gonna bring that up in front of Cherry's family

John knew. He knew exactly who killed Sherry. He knew he was complicit for screwing crazy eyes while he was engaged to Sherry. That shows how much he REALLY cared for Sherry. NOT THAT MUCH. He is guilty as hell and deserves to feel it every rotten minute of his sorry life. He is responsible.

@Mariella daisy, no need for an essay. All you had to say was " good point."

I pointed this out last year my friend. It was lost on the zombies.

Over the years, he's probably been faced with a lot of guilt. Sherry did not deserve any of that

I mean, I agree with both points honestly, I think he was a shitty partner at the time but I also believe that he can fell guilty now

I'm also guessing he turned out to be a pretty lousy engineer 😒

He just wanted his five minutes of fame.

Well, I mean, he said she was amazing and forgiving, and that she died for marrying him. That’s fairly accurate. Far as I could tell he wasn’t trying to be holier than thou, and we shouldn’t create a perception that getting someone is any less of a good or wonderful person just because they are cheated on. Wonderful people get cheated on all the time. It sucks, but its true. And the “home wrecker” is hardly ever, I’d venture to say never, as good as the person being cheated on. Sherri was the victim of the affair and she was the victim of the assault and the murder too. I think her husband lived with the guilt of the first part. After the murder he fell into the arms of the first woman to console him, not knowing she was the murderer. He made peace with the cheating because the one thing he knew she didn’t deserve was to be killed and for 25 years he thought the two events were unrelated. I can imagine that he now has to live with the guilt of all that transpired and his speech was sincere.

Let’s be honest, there are a much greater number of affairs than there are affairs turned murder. So he is in a uniquely bizarre situation here.

What I find wild is how poor the police work from 1986 was on this case. The mutilation of Sherri was so extreme that it simply did not fit the MO of a break in or robbery gone wrong. And they should have been able to at least identify the number of perpetrators, that the attack was personal, and that the attacker was of a smaller stature/strength/etc… searching only for the initial suspects was likely racially motivated. A boogeyman was an easier suspect than real police work. The affair and continuation of that affair should have been huge red flags and they should have had the real suspect 25 years earlier.

Then again, I’m an armchair detective with hindsight who has seen too many movies. I just think that this case’s details didn’t need DNA to create a better pool of suspects.

It was 26 years ago, at that point all that stuff fades away and all that is left was guilt and the memory of his wife.
He had no reason to suspect Steph, and even if he did. He probably wouldn't want to. Nobody wants their greediness to be the cause of death for those they love especially by the hands of other people that they love.

For 26 years he thought 2 men had broke into his house, battered and mutilated his poor wife and that they were never caught.That a stranger had disrupted his life and killed his lover. When really all of this was from his bad choices.

He was not in control of Steph, and I only know that because I do not think he was really in control of himself at that age. Steph was selfish but it was his selfishness that started it.
The last line of his victim impact speech is the best example of what this meant to him. He was sorry Sherry had entered his life, for that was what got her killed.

I don't like him. He's lying. You can't be so in love as he's trying to prove here

YeH that’s a good point lol I never made that connection idk why


10:39 thought she was about to say 'what's the hubbub, bub?'


Stephanie went to the toilet once. Don't expect her to remember what year though ...


I've said it before and I'll say it again... 80s coke must've been THE ish


This is what we call

     "Sweating bullets"

This is what we call

     "Sweating bullets"


She gives me strong “boyfriend being confronted about cheating” vibes

@Bria ia why would you tell her that? It’s rude.

How about girlfriend confronted about cheating I mean she does have feminine ways so that must be the first thing that comes to mind right?

@Justin Bailey this comment: just a joke

You, a man baby: 😭🤳

"What? Where was I last night? Well gee gosh, I don't know that was like 12 hours ago.."

Iva Durovic - So no lizbin wants to be a man? Not even the one who calls itself "Chaz Bono?" Get MY schitt together...?

@One Dixie Cup Just For You - I was implying that she looks like a lizbin. Like maybe she wants to be a man. But on another note, I can see why "John" would just doer occasionally, and not want to get serious with her. I couldn't imagine being in any kind of relationship with her because of that creepy stare she projects.

@Robert Gantry I mean yeah, but more so because the phrasing just makes no sense lol

@One Dixie Cup Just For You - It was intended to get a laugh. Apparently it succeded...? :D

@Robert Gantry What is that even supposed to fuckin mean? lmao<br>Like, what?????

@Robert Gantry What is that even supposed to fuckin mean? lmao
Like, what?????

She seems like the type who would think SHE'S the boyfriend.

You can tell she is acting strange,,hands everywhere mouth opened, weird faces. A normal person would listen and respond accordingly

Oh man, I called on out my dad on his affairs as a teen and these weird facial expressions match so well. Seriously, if you're a teen try to get your dad to tell your mistress you're the bastard child of mom and the dentist. If you can pull that card, you can get away with anything.

Imao with those facial expressions it's spot on

I feel like this deserves to be the most liked comment


I thought she was trying to fly away with all that fake indignant arm flapping.


Yo her facial expressions and reactions with the “gosh, geez!, million years ago!” gave me the same annoyance of e girls saying “uwu” and obsessed with anime.


Sigh, sigh, sigh... Asinine female dog. Perfect example of how emulating humans are, always trying to exceed one another.


She pulls a face and recoils like she smelt something bad every time she pretends to not remember

Did I fart? Gosh… psh… I can’t say for sure. Was that even a toot? It doesn’t sound familiar. I think I passed gas in 86 during the big earthquake… <b>tangent about natural disasters</b>

Svenne Karlsson You're shitting me! Wow... if that isn't life imitating art I don't know what is. Or maybe it's the other way around. <i>grabs handful of rock salt and leaves</i>

Svenne Karlsson You're shitting me! Wow... if that isn't life imitating art I don't know what is. Or maybe it's the other way around. _grabs handful of rock salt and leaves_

@Beardless Odin Yo I googled the term for shits and giggles, and it turns out some studies found that smelling farts may actually prevent dementia. Although, take with a fistful of salt tho

@JustMeHere XX a different type of method acting

They call it Fart Sniff Alzheimer’s. A very rare but serious condition.


Roscoe & De Soto in the San Fernando Valley. I know exactly where that is. Grew up maybe a couple miles from there. Small world…


Her eyebrows are nearly touching the ceiling! Thank controled panic..


Why did it take her so long to realise she was being interrogated as a suspect lol shes literally a cop that’s so funny

You can tell she knows. Which is why she doesn’t make definitive statements

She was too focused on lying and attempting to get away with it

@ObiWAANKenobi 44 What makes you say she was retired.  The real reason they had the meeting in an interrogation room was so she turns her gun in before entering the room, meaning that she was still an active officer.

Because she was being interrogated by fellow officers, ones that are newer and most likely have learned more modern techniques. She wasn't an officer anymore at this point, either - she was retired.

She was to scared to even process the thought her mind is set on “acting normal”

@Cesar Reza Amazing how some people can keep things hidden for life.  I bet it was 25 years she lived with enormous guilt just eating at her.   strange as it may seem, maybe she got peace after being found guilty.

Head of a department, not just a cop. SMH, 25 years experience.

She may not have thought the LAPD detectives were THAT smart.

It would look too suspicious for her to get up and leave.

It was probably part of her "ignorant & innocent" act

No doubt she knew right away, just playing dumb

You only think it's a good idea because you know the outcome. She (and all criminals) tried to look as unrelated and unknowing of the crime as possible.

Oh I bet her gut was fearing the worst the minute they mentioned his name in an interrogation room

She probably knew something was up very early in the interrogation but didnt say anything to not escalate the situation or some other form of anti-interrogation tactic

@elstongunn Exactly, plus she was still reeling from the fact that they were bringing something up that she thought she buried 25yrs ago. How would you feel? She probably haven't given this chapter much thought in awhile. So interesting to see how anyone can kill.

Because as they mention in the video, a person can know all the techniques used during an interrogation, but being on the OTHER side of the interrogation is a whole different ball game.  Plus, they structured their approach and questions knowing she would be savvy to interrogations so they made up the story so it sounded plausible until they decided to turn up the heat when she finally caught on.

Any innocent person or smart criminal would just say "look I can't help you guys. I'm terribly sorry. I really didn't talk to John after college. Find someone else. Now I gotta go. Bye"

@Mrs X oh yeah defo a sociopath therefore due to delusions of grandeur was under the impression she could never be caught but it’s just so funny and hard to watch 😹😹😹😹

she thought they would NEVER connect her. It didn't occur to her that she couldn't outsmart them. She's arrogant. But I agree with you,I mean seriously 😂😂. You been a cop all this time and you can't see what they're doing?? 🙄

Bet she was too focused on lying that she didn't notice


This is just like Amber Heard face  expressions and lines 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Ughh Dude You cut out out her very first indication of her being extremely nervous & on edge “when she says you guys are gonna bring someone in right!!??”  Why did u snip all the beginning stuff out?

He was trying to get the videos pass youtube censorship, a lot of vids went down and back up with huge edits to try and appease youtube.


"Did you murder Sherry?"

"Gee, I mean, I might have, you know? I mean, it was a million years ago. It doesn't ring a bell, I mean, you know? I mean, if you told me that I'd murdered her, I mean, I think I'd remember that. But, gee, I might have, you know?"

like why did she think she could get away with having a terrible memory 😂

@Kylie Jones I think this was an example of the thing called humor. Her inability to give a straight answer is so blatant and clumsy that it resembles a physical impairment.

@Kylie Jones Tourette's Syndrome, except that her tic is to constantly say "I mean" and crumpled up her nose.

Jeez Rick, th-th-tha-thats a bit too much, you know?

Me when I take a stack of carrots from the carrot chest on mc

Like I said, that was a million years ago ya know? If I did murder her then that was a million years ago, I mean it’s 2009 I’m trying to remember if I murdered her or not I mean that was in 1983 and it’s 2009 now ya know? It doesn’t sound, ya know, familiar. Ya know? I just don’t remember.

Kaiser um no. Look up the definition of speech impediment. Examples are lisps and stammers..

@Kylie Jones she repeats herself so goddamn much, she practically has some sort of speech impediment.

geee can you give me a year it was two deacades ago I mean I get the date I may rember

Gee... God... I don't know... What year are we talking?.... I'd like to say.. no...?  👀

@Kaiser What speech impediment? 🤔<br>I thought we were mocking her turn of phrase during the interrogation... 😁

@Kaiser What speech impediment? 🤔
I thought we were mocking her turn of phrase during the interrogation... 😁

everyone is just mocking her speech impediment

Gee...I don't know...I mean...I don't THINK so...let me check my pictures....

Gee, well let’s see, I was born in 1968 and then took my first steps at 11 months old and then, golly, I’m not sure at what point Watergate happened, but golly gee willickers, I think it was after I bought my first car, but gosh, I don’t remember who was president at the time, and hmmm, I just don’t even remember if I was registered to vote yet. So gosh, if I went to school with John in 1978 then I guess I could have possibly dated him, but I don’t even remember if he was democrat or republican, I mean, gosh, if I graduation in 1982, then I guess maybe I might have met up with John a few times, but I mean, that was a million years ago, I mean I don’t even remember my middle name, much less who I dated or anything or anything I’ve ever done, I mean, it just doesn’t quite ring a bell, ya know?

All the comments are so funny.. i need to stop the video first and read all the comments 😂😂

Lmfao she should have just confessed as soon as she walked in the room and saved us the cringy performance 🥴

Maybe she's an immortal demon and experiences time in a different manner?

@Mohammad Shameoni Niaei I mean gee I did use to go to elementary school when was that.. like how long ago man that was a million years ago jee if I graduated- I mean jee that was a million years ago yk I might have known what was his name John? Gee that was a million years ago man * with a ton of facial expressions*

I mean gee I may have brutally murdered her and bit her arm, but y-you know it was a million years ago I don't r-remember you know. I-I mean like if you told me that I was a murderer I j-just might beleive you you know? Like I might have done it but it was so long ago geez, let me think for a bit. N-no it doesn't ring a bell you know like we used to hang out and I might have met here there or maybe I haven't like I just don't remember geez. I-it was like a robbery gone wrong if I remember right? Gosh I don't know it was just so long ago, like what year is it again? 2009 that was so long ago I j-just don't remember you know? I don't know details about t-that murder you know, but I remember it wasn't fun. Y-you know what was fun? When we went to Hawaii I haven't told you about that have I? In fact it was so fun I c-could go on a 45 min long rant about it and I absolutely will.

@trippie_ fabio 😂😂😂😂 “ i might’ve shot a gun but i don’t remember if it was real life or video games “

gee.. i mean it’s 2009 now i don’t know.. god..

"but what she wearing when she died?"

"Oh I know what she wearing."

Fucking Hilarious!!!  I mean, I don't know, it might have been fucking hilarious, that post was like a million years ago, you know?


Shouldn’t she be given her rights officially because i heard if you are not given your rights.


طارق بن زياد مغربي 🇲🇦

I mean she is like a million years old sooo lol


Her: doesn't remember getting kicked out of a hospital for a violent altercation 20 years ago
Me: often recalls that one time in elementary school someone said my shorts looked like boxers

7 minutes in and I know I’m going to Patreon to follow JCS he smokes Observe.

@somebody I’m 33 and I remember stealing toys 🧸 from my kindergarten class (I know) and this marker that smelled like chocolate. I stole a rolling pin from the play kitchen

I can’t remember my license plate on my car but I can remember the time a boy said I needed to shave because my legs and arms were hairy in 3rd grade and his name

i can't remember my own phone number but i <i>can</i> remember vividly when i was 4 and my classmate called me "tuna girl" because i was eating tuna and it shook me to my core.

i can't remember my own phone number but i _can_ remember vividly when i was 4 and my classmate called me "tuna girl" because i was eating tuna and it shook me to my core.

@Matthias Schlemm .. and the dude remembers saying it. lol


She's serving some serious amber heard vibes.


"Uuuugggghhhh why did I bite that woman?!"


Damn, imagine thinking you'd gotten away with it for 25 years and still getting caught...

I ate a bag of chips at Walmart once and never paid for them. I won’t be surprised when they kick down my front door in the near future..but god that was over a decade ago! I mean it could have been Doritos...hot Cheetos...chili cheese Fritos...I couldn’t tell ya.

Choco Manger
I think he left town because he knew Stephanie did it and didn’t wanna be next.
So yea, I think he  basically fled for his life but kept it to himself when he should have told someone.

That's why her last words were:'' I can't believe it,,!

That's what i love about justice, even if you get away with it your always going to be scared of a knock on the door.

@Choco Manger Yes, disgusting it is! Spazzy Lazzy and Rutten met in Hawaii after Sherry's murder. It happened more than once. Got that from a YouTube Documentary. Can you imagine having sex with your wife's killer? OMG Sherry must have been rolling over in her grave. John did not deserve Sherry and he is a vile,  sickening creep.

@LisaS Seriously?  Again?  That's disgusting.

@LisaS also maybe preclude a defense that the bite mark was from a separate confrontation. She denied any confrontation whatsoever

@Parkour That's correct.  Forensic genealogy will continue busting people who thought they got away with a crime a long time ago.

Innocuous Block of Wood I would be furious. All those years you have to become relaxed about it. Actually I would’ve run away to Timbuktu the day after I mashed her to death.

@jeb jed nah she was done. Lawyer could have saved her that stress.

Chickens coming home to roost is what that is.

@jeb jed Wrong! Her DNA was at the scene. They were just hoping to make it easier by getting a confession and a plea.

People are getting caught left and right nowadays bc of these DNA 🧬 testings like 23 and me, etc. this lady is a terrible liar.

@jeb jed umm they literally made it feel like a safe space and she probably had millions of thoughts running through her head so it probably slipped out

@jeb jed yea she was, psychopaths usually are pretty dumb as they're incredibly narcissistic and think they can  get away with murder (pun intended)

@jeb jed no she wouldn't lol, you don't find DNA from BITE MARKS in someones arm unless she was there

jeb jed yeah whatever they already had her dna

Innocuous Block of Wood imagine getting away for 13 murders for 43 years, Joe is in court today


were all the cases she was involved in, dismissed?

Yes, one was. It was an art theft case which was her “gig” at the LAPD and they were going to prosecute a case that was hers. There is no way a jury would side with a case built by a woman cop who was facing murder charges. It was dropped.


Gosh and JEEESUS. It was 20....it was 50 thousand.....it was a long time ago, okay?


It's a cold case but its getting warmer.


Imagine working around a killer for 25 years and not knowing they were a killer. Makes me wonder how many people have done horrible crimes that are around us daily but didn’t get caught.

@Tony Arcieri That's a disgusting and incredibly ignorant thing to say.

@Amellia Mendel pass by me 7 times and you reached your lifetime quota

fun fact in your life time you pass by 7 murderers

Someone we knew ended up getting murdered in front of my moms store when I was around 9 yrs old & we saw the crime scene the next day going to open the store up.

@Albert Twangle Are you actually a murderer?

A teacher in my sons' schools was found to have murdered a woman for hire. It was when his life was messed up with drugs. He got his act together and became a teacher he was supposedly  a great teacher and the lads really liked him. he was in the clear and may have confessed to clear his conscience

RIP his victim.

Considering that more than 90% of rapists walk free... we are surrounded by evil.

Just visit your local synagogue to catch that vibe

It's IMOSSIBLE that a person commuting to and from a big city every day for years has not seen a killer, possibly a serial killer, but definitely a killer.
The numbers of criminals we've seen is off the charts.
But then again I got into a little trouble 30 years ago in my 20s (petty theft) so I guess I'm one of them :)
Spent a few hours in cuffs and almost fainted...knew it wasn't the life for me :)
I needed xanax for like a week.

No one knows about my murderous history, it’s easier said than done dude


What happened to the first half of the video?

These comments are gold. I keep thinking I won't find one any funnier, then BAM!

Brandon, your comment made me laugh during a very difficult time of my life. Thank you.

@Lauren Lestrange me too, I'm pretty sure that was ops intention.

Funny either way

Yes! My new rock/metal band has a new name cause of you. Thank you! LSD Murder Pumpkin.!

@Ilovecats420 I thought the pumpkin was the one on LSD

Hahaha this comment is GOLD put a smile on my sad face x

BURN FAT TILL MY STOMACH IS AS FLAT AS THE EARTH

why did i totally see it after reading this comment 😂😂


It seems like this interrogation was recorded from rabbits hole😄


This story sucks since there was no history or details of the crime, except that there was a murder years ago..I don’t know how she can recall much from 20 years ago. That’s ridiculous.   The interview was a total secret & They absolutely should’ve mirandized her. And she should’ve gotten a lawyer involved right from the get go.


@jcs hi I’m obsessed with you and your content….fuck YouTube for killing this channel


She has the acting skills of a 5 year old with their hand stuck in the cookie jar. It’s honestly amazing that she didn’t just give in and admit it

Yah it’s Incredibly uncomfortable to watch because she knows she’s busted but yet she keeps going on instead of just saying “ hey you got me” …!!!

@J010011113 only way I'd see her become a detective is if the department was undermanned as fuck, but who knows

i mean to be fair, this has been decades ago for her and had no aforementioned knowledge of this confrontation.

How did she even ever become a cop? Where was she employed? You'd have to be medicated beyond cognition to put her on the street with a gun.


she knew this would come someday. how she wished she didn't do this.sorry lady, crime pays.


Usually protective custody or they’d for sure get killed


Mom: Did u take the last cookie?

*continues to ramble on about politics to online people*

@L. Bradley daddy chill i''m not even american

@more tren more men yeah all I'm asking for is a source of information that's irrefutably true and gives me a reason to hate the guy. In 2016 people were saying Russian collusion and MAGA is racist and try as I might I couldn't find any factual information verifying these claims. I used to think people who'd say "don't trust the media" were paranoid nutjobs but after seeing such blatant misinformation I'm skeptical about what I read now.

Oh and the Jessie Smollett story and how that was being portrayed by the media was both hilarious and scary when they doubled down on the lies perpetuated by one guy that fit their narrative with not a fact in sight.

After the first presidential debate I went to a video of Seth Myers covering it and someone said "look, Trump wouldn't denounce white supremacists" (I found a compilation of him denouncing white supremacy for 5 straight minutes and they keep asking him, he must be losing his mind having to answer the same question over and over) and I said "just like how Biden wouldn't denounce Antifa?" and man I got called all sorts of things in that comment section: fascist, nazi, racist and "gay person" which was kinda funny given democrats are supposedly bigger supporters of gay people. And my comment got either downvoted out of existence or deleted because it was gone. "Just like how Biden wouldn't denounce Antifa?" I've never voted as if I were to I'd want it to be a well informed vote going to the right person and I've always been too lazy to do my homework but after all that and more the conservative side appears more in touch with reality at the moment.

@L. Bradley
Ahem...I do not believe you understand my reply to Jonnyboo.
I was merely answering his question as to why does everybody have to turn everything into a political debate.
I believe my reply was very apropos.
Finally, I have no idea what would my reply or my original comment make you see an extreme left leaning bias.
I am apolitical, but if you wish to put a tag on me, then call me a conservative peacenik.✌

@Rafael Crabs that's why ideologs do, they can't produce any verifiable arguments, only feelings. And if they do produce facts, they are false, so that when you point out their lies, they say you are brainwashed and trying do defend an irredeemable monster, or that you claiming the "facts" are false is ridiculous, and they just laugh at you. This entire scheme is used constantly in politics, and if you spot a brainwashed bot, you can predict with 90% certainty what they are going to say next.

@RoboBitch how so? I can never get a solid explanation of how he's any worse than other presidents throughout history.

@Penny Rollings your clueless about Trump and his true importance!

@johnnny boo <br>To answer your question, I would posit that being controlled by an ideology always leads to social pathology.

Yes I know look who is in the white house. He has as many expressions as she does. Yikes


Biggest giveaway is allways the gulp people do when were stressed and guilty


“geeez uh-“     “i- i- i- i- i mean w- w- what is this all about? i- i-“


It's horrible what she did but I just can't take her seriously whenever she goes on about things in depth when it doesn't need to be explained and those facial expressions... oh those expressions... they look way too exaggerated


If I act like a complete dumbass maybe they will let me go...


The constant use of her saying “You know” is very ironic, as they do, in fact, know everything.

I scrolled down to this comment immediately as she said "you know".


Looking like elf on a shelf @25:07
Evil woman.


“Jeez God I mean I may have just only killed her  Jeez I don’t know I mean what’s this about.. God Jeez?”


I sympathise with this lady, I'm 26 and I don't remember anything from 25 years ago either.

@DreamingCatStudio did she work in the office with all the wanted flyers hanging up or something

@Rogue Squadron Right! I’ve never heard anyone outside of the 80s reference flyers so often!

I mean, I might remember something . Maybe saw it on a flyer somewhere

@DreamingCatStudio I agree. If I was innocent, I would just say I have no idea what you are talking abt.

Well I know you’re joking but as a 67 year old I don’t remember an enormous amount of my life. But were I in her shoes (and innocent), I’d try for a second to remember then if I don’t remember just say, “I don’t remember.” All that dissembling was bizarre.


25:01 "any other cars that stand out in your mind? " what does that mean?

@bibilolo0802 Welcome! Quite the incredible murder case.

@767 Driver thank you for the insightful comment.

After she killed Sherri she drove off in Sherri’s BMW and parked it a couple miles away leaving the keys 🔑 still in it. No doubts she was hoping an opportunist would steal the car creating a “red herring” for law enforcement to chase down. That didn’t happen. The car was found and impounded. The interrogators wanted to give Stephanie something to “stew” on. Like “did they find a hair of mine in the car?” “is there a video tape of me in it?”. They masterfully kept feeding her info in a question manner to gauge her reactions and outflanked her.


YouTube should look at twitter’s debacles and WAKE UP

Jim is your warning fam.. our loyalty is contingent


This video was more than 25 minutes long before. Why was it edited?

I’ve noticed this trend on more than one channel and video. Weird and it sucks.

Yeah, what the hell?  I remember clearly the beginning was talking about what happened prior, for instance they took Stephanie's DNA from an used cup she threw away, right before the beginning of this current video.  I never knew you could cut a video like that after it's been uploaded, or YouTube itself did something for some odd reason, they actually intervened.


Did you know John Rutten?<br>It was the summer of 22. I wore an onion on my belt as it was the fashion of the day.......

Best detectives ever.  Top of their game, but they had to be.  Going against a cop, trained like you were is nothing but tricky.  Bravo.

Does she look trained to you? She can't keep a straight face if her life depended on it. Wait... it actually did depend on it.

R all detectives old fat and very out of shape ? I had to deal with 2 detectives unfortunately and that was the impression I got both times. Oops sorry but I take that back, I actually had to deal with 3 detectives the last one was younger and fitter the other two

@That Roman Fella lol he deleted his comment, i wonder what he said.

Thought the same, that is insane work. Working against a cop while it was a case that could easily be brushed aside, I can't imagine the nerves they had to hold together.


“How long did you know  John for?”

(Implements Euclidean algorithm)


The only thing thats scarier than her personality is her facial expressions

Her eys are very scary...like devil's eyes scary


Her facial expression game is one with Charles Mansons.


yeah it's so weird, the video says it's 56 minutes long but when you click on it, it shortens to 25 minutes with the first half missing?? copyright by youtube maybe


One day you need to get your hands on an innocent person's interrogation video to see the differences.

Everyone go watch Ryan Waller interview. Interrogated about killing his gf, all the while being a victim as well with a bullet in his brain. And he told them that several times! When the cop saw the bullet hole he about had a stroke.

From the many things I’ve seen and heard innocent people will get angry (true anger, not like this lady who looked more like an annoyed child when they are caught) and people will assume their anger means they are guilty.

I was interrogated once for something I didn’t do. I would never recommend anyone speak to the police without an attorney. They lied to me, made so much stuff up. Played good cop bad cop. I spoke to them for hours because I knew I was innocent and couldn’t believe it was happening. Finally, after them trying to talk me in circles for hours I asked to leave and told them I’d get an attorney. Never heard from them again after that. It was a traumatic experience.

@Kerstin Nilsson was she innocent or found not guilty???? Hahaha

@Kerstin Nilsson was she innocent or found not guilty???? Hahaha

A good video with an innocent interrogation would be Amanda Knox! I’d love to see this channel review that one. She ended up being found innocent and falsely imprisoned

@WeylandsWonders I think later they were sued,,it was awful poor kid was shot and they were grilling him no mercy!!!

Robert Horwat someone else can be super annoyed and agitated when they are being interrogated when they know they’re innocent and all parties time are wasted

cubomania3 The Policemen questioning her were calm, professional and polite. People coerced into false confessions are bullied, threatened and treated horribly!

yeah do that and the whole court system is going to get sued.

yeah do that and the whole court system is going to get sued.

Angel Face idk, my husband issued a false confession after hours of interrogation, being laid outside in the snow in February in PA with no coat, and having a crazy guy hold a gun to his head and scream at him he was going to shoot him. The guy put him outside to avoid the mess. He had “the look”. And was county commissioner. False statements are given

@Light of Life I'm just here to say excellent job properly using you're and your. Makes me have hope for our world.

@Light of Life I'm just here to say excellent job properly using you're and your. Makes me have hope for our world.

You can check out the West Memphis 3, the interrogation of the boy with the low IQ, I can’t remember his name but you can hear the detectives lead him so bad, stop the tape and then he changes story. You can also hear one detective tap on the desk when the boy says the wrong time the cops need him to say and after that the boy changes his answer. Boy was low IQ,  interrogated for hours, leading, told he could go home, no parent no attorney it was disgusting. Just audio - no way cops were going to have it videotaped. Then when you see how soft this one kid sporting a mullet is, OMG. It is a famous case and several docs on it. It is amazing. There is some true crime podcast guy that has about 4 shows on A&E I think and more coming soon. The cops and prosecutors dirty as hell and dumb as shit.

Even if the Police placed me in custody, believed I had been involved or were convinced I was the perpetrator, if there was considerable disbelief in the truth I knew I was speaking, if they thought they could break me, I genuinely believe I would have dug my heels firmly in, settled in for the long haul and just repeated my answers again and again and again. Yes it is true my answers may have come out slightly differently but in my mind there was absolutely no way anything I was ever going to say would contradict the truth I was telling and would in no way jeopardise my position. Believe me, the possibility of being held for questioning was definitely in my mind, but I knew I was innocent, I knew I could prove it and I was ready for whatever was coming my way. Fortunately, although (and to their credit) the Police were exceptionally thorough, and my story checked out.

Part of the interview, from memory, went like this:

Police: "May we have your phone?"
Me:  "Sure of course. Here you are".

Police: "Do you have any cctv of you leaving the house on the day in question?"
Me: "Yes I believe I do".

Police: "Can you get it to us?
Me: "Yes. I will be happy to do so".

Straight off, straight answers, no hesitation, you would have to be an extremely skilled manipulator to convince the Police, but what will nail you every time are the little details that the Police will know that you may not and will push and push and push with till they are sure your story checks out.

Actually that's a good idea, just generally speaking. I'd like to watch an innocent person being interrogated in hindsight to note the differences in behavior, both verbal and nonverbal.

@bobby ray of the family smith well I can only tell you from my own personal experience but in my case it involved someone I was very close to and I may even have been the prime suspect so the very good evidence needed they already had. I believed there was a reasonable probability that they may have held me in custody. The questioning was intense but relaxed due to the two detectives questioning me being experienced, professional, forensic, and who I believed wanted to get the facts absolutely right and nothing else. Under questioning I noticed they would fact check earlier statements with innocent remarks, coaching me to react rather than any kind of 'trip you up' remarks that may have put me on my guard and created any mistrust, which would be totally counterproductive because any suspicion from me that this was going somewhere I felt was wrong would have likely made me clam up. The Police did not appear to show any indication that they were sniffing for anything, they just presented me with the facts of why I was of interest and asked me to detail my whereabouts during a certain period of time. And if anyone from Thames Valley CID are reading this, I was treated with great care, the officers were  professional, thorough, left no stone unturned and the experience gave me a greater appreciation of the fantastic work you guys do. A job well done and clearly the right verdict when judgement was passed.

They have to have very good evidence to hold you like that ask any lawyer they will tell you to use your right to silence and not answer any questions. Perhaps give a written statement outlining your version of events but then say nothing and refuse to be interviewed. I'm not in America but in my country (I guess its similar to US) the cops only care about getting a conviction they give zero shits if they catch the guilty or not. They just don't want to look stupid with an unsolved case. Especially if it's a high profile case with media involved many innocent people have been stitched up like this. They also have conviction quotas so they might stitch you up to meet a target for their bonus or promotion.

@bobby ray of the family smith being uncooperative will just turn a routine interview into interrogation and heightens their suspicion. You may then be held for several days, subjected to psychological methods that WILL break your resistance and you may end up signing something that incriminates yourself  just to get the ordeal over with. Whereas if you engage, you put your side of the story, get given a written transcription of your statement for you to read thoroughly before you sign it.

@Robert Horwat I'd never talk to police even if innocent because they will likley pick something you said and try twist it to make you look guilty. You'll then start to become stressed, become less articulate making it even easier for them to twist further details and try create the appearance of a changed story. Some people are very good at taking things out of context and presenting them to others as completely different. This is why lawyers advise not to talk. An innocent person can literally talk themselves into jail

The Sandra Melgar case out of Houston is like that. That poor woman was railroaded by the detective who was fired before it even went to trial. The prosecuting attorney was almost comically bad at her job. I believe Sandra Melgar will be getting off soon tho. She wasn’t physically capable of doing what she was accused of and the lawyer from Making A Murderer picked up the case in appeals.

martyn spooner I think even the best interrogator would find that once the table is turned and they’re the one in the spotlight, they’d fall into those instinctual traps that every other suspect does. These tics are unconscious, and it would take an incredible amount of self control and poise to overcome them.

@Kirk Claybrook wasn't she guilty of that though? I remember seeing that case years ago.

There are like five of them on his Patreon.

There are like five of them on his Patreon.

From personal experience you are more than happy to tell the truth, you know you have nothing to hide and the entire atmosphere is relaxed, the faces of the officers show no cause for worry and, being innocent, you tend to volunteer things that come to mind.

There is one on Patreon of a kid that was shot or something during a home invasion and the they interrogated him at length , his girlfriend was killed ,,but it is gut wrenching to watch ,,awful the way he was treated!!!

Those aren't usually released to the public?  Because why the absolute fuck would they ever be lol

Those are hard to find...The west memphis three is the only one I can think of. It only happens under extreme durress- especially if the person is young or has a lower IQ.

It's not always that obvious, innocent people may seem guilty even if they aren't, due to anxiety, fear.

It's not always that obvious, innocent people may seem guilty even if they aren't, due to anxiety, fear.

I’m sure a person who is proven innocent would try to petition to have their interrogation taken off of the internet. If I was falsely accused, I wouldn’t want the interrogation floating around.

@Dee-Dee Richman yes I read that. Such an awful story and unimaginable injustice.

@Dee-Dee Richman yes I read that. Such an awful story and unimaginable injustice.

Horseman Secretariat  just watch ‘when they see us’ about the 5 kids from NY accused of rape. They were interrogated for 48 hours until they broke and confessed when they were innocent

There’s one on patreon of a woman who was accused of killing her husband. Body language was totally different than someone who’s guilty.

Michael Egan yea it was a black English guy accused of robbing a jewelry store. It was in one of those “most compelling police interrogations - number...” videos that got deleted

@C H after doing some research, I'm pretty sure that the guy's name was Michael Dixon, and it looks like the video is no longer on this channel. But he and the Kalief Browder guy you mentioned are both black dudes, so you're wrong twice: wrong about the name, and wrong about whether or not he was black.

Horseman Secretariat there’s that wife whose husband committed suicide and the cop went psycho on her in the interrogation. It was a really good one, the cop almost got shit canned.

@martyn spooner a bit different when you're a cop and you know you're guilty and your future projecting yourself in the can with some of those you may have put there lol.

And the woman who was convicted of murder when her partner fell through a shockingly inadequate window in a highrise apartment building.

Yeah that would be great to see. Even I can see through this woman not like it's hard mind. For an experienced cop she seems pretty useless but I guess it is as stressful as f**k in reality.

@Kimberly Miller do you have any more info or links to the case please?

@Kimberly Miller do you have any more info or links to the case please?

Haunted Angel do you remember her name? I wanna see that

Haunted Angel do you remember her name? I wanna see that

There was also that 60+ year old woman who was accused of killing her husband and all SHE wanted to do was garden. Cops made her out to be a cold blooded killer when she did nothing...she gave straight answers and never changed her story.

There was one that came out a while ago, no idea if it's still up on Jim's channel but it was a black dude who got falsely accused of robbery I think.


Well trained? that's what they would like us to believe about police some hardly no the law..


I mean  she may have murdered someone          but I mean       thats a cool last name


What stands out to me in this case is that had stephanie not been a cop they would most definitely have gone straight to her as a suspect.

@Fron Thal I understand but man did it take them a long time. The murdered womans parents complained.

Its a wonder that in """"""""""""300 million sperms this one reached the egg"""""""""""""""

@Bill Fitzpatrick I want to ad that dna testing has been around for over 30 years now. You seem to make up your own facts.

@Bill Fitzpatrick you are mistaken. She was on the LAPD when she committed the murder. Watch the video again.

She wasn't on the force when the murder took place, and only now with the DNA evidence is there any proof!

@touchofdumb that does seem to be true. I'm 65 and the cops are a lot better than when I was young though.

Smart psychopaths seek social camouflage jobs like:

Doctor, teacher, priest & cop.

@Uche E ayoo a cheater got offended lmaoo
Look how I care 😭😂😂
I said  I wish it was him instead of her because she was innocent person while he was not.

@V I I mean, vandals and arsonists should be punished and stopped right? Is now considered foolish to protect people's property or to punish criminal activity? And I think if you want to protest against police, maybe go after them directly, rather than shopkeeps trying to make a living. Ofc, should probably leave the law enforcement alone too lol. Besides, since when do everyday citizens deserve to be harmed by senseless violence in the name of reform? I'm sorry, which of us is the fool, again? Please make more sense thx ❤

@Nathaniel Cooper Only a fool would think that. All of us will end up in jail if we keep letting this happen.

@V I less of a risk and more of a natural outcome, and we've seen it happen where the police HAVE been defunded already so... ya

@V I ooh ya idk bout that one, I'll take corruption over rampant looting and just free reign for criminal activity! Better to have a flawed justice system than non at all.

Plus all the competent cops'd be like "bruh" like punishing everyone for others' mistakes

That's what scares me so much about this. It was so obvious, I wonder how many other crimes were covered up. Its why people want to defund and start from scratch. I'll take the risks for the reward of little to no corruption.

Tommy Exactly Except they could have ran the DNA test sooner than they did

@Sofi Stacy Well that kind of makes sense, but considering Lazarus' perspective, she had more motive to kill the wife than the husband. Still I see what you mean. Wife was just there and then crazy side chick kills her like c'mon man

@Nathaniel Cooper because his wife was innocent in that story, while he was not. He cheated on her.

@Sofi Stacy I'm on mobile didn't see it lol

@Sofi Stacy Indeed! Didn't help Ms. Lazarus out too much in the end though, knowing police tactics while she was being questioned lol. I guess her position helped before dna forensics though.

@Nathaniel Cooper Yea it's about misunderstanding here.<br> I agree with what you said here. Of course that the law that is for us goes for them too. But what I said (tried to say) is that they are able to do anything. Being a police officer is important role in society. We are supposed to trust the police. Because that's their job- in theory-> to protect us; they're people that we can lean on. And because of that role that they have, it's easier for them to commit a crime and to get away with it. Neither we would doubt them, neither their colleagues would doubt them. So yea, being a cop plays a big part in not being suspected, but not only that. Being a cop also gives them advantage to know how to cover it up for themselves because they're trained and know how police think and how they do the job, so they know what to do to cover what needs to be covered.

@Sofi Stacy I mean to say that cops definitely can't do whatever they want and not be suspected. I'm going to assume, giving you the benefit of the doubt, that you didn't mean that literally, but cops are bound by the same laws you and I are. They can't be rapists, or embezzlers of money, etc. To be clear, I'm not saying that cops are infallible, by any means! Just saying that they aren't above the law they enforce. As shown in this video, cops even hold each other to the same standard. It's probably true that cops are less often suspected of crime, on average, given their role in society as law enforcement. But that doesn't mean they don't have to follow they rules too, as well as ones specific to policing, from my understanding.

I like @ClassicAdden's point about bias and assumption, too. That should also be taken into consideration. Your own biases can be hard to identify, bit that's important too.

@Tommy 50377 cops can do whatever they like and not be suspected. Because she was a cop, that's why no one suspected her.<br>I even know one case of a cop that murdered his own wife. He is free, enjoying his life while the innocent person is behind bars on a death row.

@Ares Walker I wish the victim was the husband and not his wife. 🤬

If your name weren't John, they most likely wouldve gone straight to you as a suspect.

Exactly, the assume that because she is a cop she couldn't do such a horrific crime.

@Tommy 50377 gee whizz, I wonder how people went in jail that time at all, oh golly.

@Ares Walker yeah you’re right , if they had even put her on the list to be interviewed, she would have been run around by an experienced investigator. She was smart in some ways, stupid in others, but not even considering her as a prime suspect, given their history, shows the police department  just weren’t looking in their own ranks for criminals, which is why separate internal affairs teams should be consulted if a police officer is even thought to be a suspect in a crime, but especially when they’re this close to the suspect. Police officers are people, and they will have blind spots for the people they think are on their side, same as everyone else, which is why a check on their power is needed. Not because they’re all evil, but because individuals are fallible no matter what uniform they have on, and need to be corrected when they make a mistake.

@Tommy 50377 Your point is why I have so much respect for the detectives of past decades who were able to get a conviction.

Obviously it's for the best now that we have all this technology to make it easier for the investigators and lawyers but something about that old school way is interesting.

@Tommy 50377 i get what you mean and you're probably right but i can't get over the fact that she wasn't even interrogated, like she was totally ignored by police. It's true that a motive isn't enough to arrest someone but i think it's a f* good reason to start doubting about someone and decide to investigate further on them. Even after all these years she still can't lie to save her life, so i think a simple interrogation at the time would have made it clear she knew something. So it's either complete incompetence or corruption from the police itself, especially since the family of the victim asked multiple times to indagate on her for really valid reasons and was always rejected. Honestly i wonder how the family was able to resist all those years and not just go berserk at the police department obviously covering up (by knowledge or by simple team cameratism) for their colleague.

@Ares Walker While it totally could simply be because she was a cop, I don't think that's why. Remember, you have to pin it on her to get a conviction. In that day and age, unless if you had a witness or irrefutable evidence, a motive alone isn't anywhere near enough. Sure, she could have done it, but she also could be totally innocent, and there's no way to prove it if she did. She would never confess since they didn't have enough evidence, so there really was no way to get her imprisoned with what they had. Honestly, it's a really good thing they didn't put her on trial until now. A good defense back then would have easily proven her not guilty, and the constitution forbids someone from being put on trial twice for the same crime. In other words, of she was found not guilty then, even if they proved it absolutely was her, they couldn't arrest her for it now. The only reason she ever got caught was because they only did it once they could use dna evidence.

That's what I thought too. Like, they knew the husband cheated on his wife with this woman, that she had the nerve to not only fight with the wife in public in a hospital but to even be the most aggressive one with tons of threats yelled towards the wife. Then suddenly, the wife is brutally killed and none thought about this crazy side-lady? I'm sorry but i call bs, something somewhere went wrong here


I’m uncomfortable with how much her voice sounds like dory from finding nemo


This only shows how many couples are in love but not together and many more are together but not in love


she over-explains so much and it’s so weird… when they ask her about how long she dated him, she goes into insane detail for absolutely no reason. it’s so intriguing yet scary at the same time!

@Silvina Leonetti It has the exact opposite effect.

Insane details & tangents? Brings Ambuser Turd to mind

biggest indication someone is lying is that.

Yeah I also do this when I lie and I'm amazed more people don't pick up on it. It's so obvious to me.

she over explains it, that's weird. had she been giving short answers it would have been a problem as well. Because we already know shes guilty everything she does is automatically a red flag.

Yeah its such abnormal behavior. In any other situation it would take about 5 seconds to answer lol I'm in my 40s and if you asked me how long I dated my high school girlfriend that I haven't spoken to in 20 years I could tell you instantly. And I wouldn't be like "yeah  I guess I know her? maybe? idk we knew each other"

@Silvina Leonetti they are trying to establish credibility not realizing they are found the opposite.    I suck as lying, that’s why I don’t do it.  My father taught and told me that.

I believe they do that because they’re trying to come across as credible and forthcoming.

must be freaking on some level but no way she could know the DNA had her cold... until detective asks for swab

@Silvina Leonetti and it's a way of desperately trying to control the narrative.

Sometime you should watch Diane Downs at her most recent parole hearing. The detectives assigned to the case of her murdered daughter in 1983 described her speaking style as "verbal vomit." Downs makes this one look like a Sphinx.

She has what I call crazy eyes. I knew a gal who in every photo of her along with other people one could easily tell who the crazy person was….by her eyes.

She starts talking about scuba diving in Hawaii..  WTF??!? 😵

Her off the point rants from the subject reminds me of how my mom avoids direct questions

So where did you grow up ? Her : Umm California, Ummmm I'm sure it could've been Kansas, ummm it was so long ago, ummmm probably Texas"

@Bob Man Exactly right… like when they asked  her if she’d ever met Sherri, Stephanie hemmed and hawed a bit, even though it was common knowledge by then that she and Sherri had had a verbal altercation at the latter’s workplace.

@Silvina Leonetti It also buys them time. They are looking for anything to give them a brief relief of the terror their facing

Her eyes and the way she talks.. she looks paranoid, or maybe she's always like that. Who knows. I know Jim does.

It's funny they do that and explain so much detail but when asked about simple things about the person they murdered, they suddenly can't remember

Liars usually give stretchy replies.... blabbering more than what they're asked. By saying more, they try to make the listener believe they are telling the truth. Also this gives themselves more time to think

It is very common for people that lie to do that. They think the more true details (even if absolutely non relevant whatsoever) are mixed in with the lie, it makes it more credible.


she's in shock. I mean geeze...I mean i can't even I...geee


Am I crazy or was this video about 50 minutes long last time I checked? Other videos too, they are being cut for some reason, it seems.

Саша Милетић

Youtube keeps taking the videos down and they have to cut most of the information out


Did these videos get shorter or is it just me?

it’s to get them past youtube mods, probably …


Why didn’t Sherri report her  when she broke in the first time? Maybe they could have caught her quicker. This psycho got to run free for 17 years.

She didn’t break in the first time. She came over uninvited to have John wax her 🎿 skis. She was dressed like a tart. Then she came by to pick them up in full police uniform when John wasn’t there. No doubt she was casing the place. When she did break in, some speculate that she didn’t do that to kill Sherri but to just violate their space. Stalkers do that and Stephanie has been stalking Sherri so Stephanie knew her schedule and routine. Stephanie had no way of knowing that Sherri called in sick that morning so was just as shocked to see Sherri in the condo as Sherri was shocked to see Stephanie. Now this would, IF reported, be enough to get Stephanie fired and even jailed so Stephanie chose to silence Sherri…. permanently. Just a psychotic woman who, as you mentioned got to run 23 years free, not 17.


Her facial expressions are so animated. She's like a cartoon pumpkin.

Stephanie “rubber face” Lazarus. They should make a puppet able to make those faces.

Someone I used to know is doing the exact same thing while desperately trying to sell a pyramid network marketing scheme via instagram. Its so hilarious. And he also seems to be completely oblivious to how much he looks and sounds like a clown xD

@volleybrawl the second one is cringe lmaoo

@volleybrawl i honestly dont get what the point of making these extremely exaggerated facial expressions. Plus, wtf was the point of her doing what she did on 37:17 lmao i dont get this woman

The way her eyebrows drop, eyes pop out, and lips pout while she pushes out her double chin, really amount to something that warrants beholding. She should be the next IT.

I was genuinely thinking if she hadnt gone into the murder business she couldve been the female Jim Carrey lmao

When you can't feel actual emotions you try to copy what you see people displaying emotions on TV do.

She'd make one hell of a reaction gif factory.

Hilarious 😄

I will say it's messed up that the police dismissed what her father said from the start due to her being a police officer.

She could actually pass a Disney villian , a step<br>Mother.

She could actually pass a Disney villian , a step
Mother.

She did an odd Charles Manson kind of thing at the very end there

@Dishonored Undead I was gonna comment that

36:35  and 37:17  are the highlights of the lowlights in my book lol so freaking stupid of her lookin like that

It's actually obnoxious, seeing her jump about


But, after 25 years, isn't the crime discarded? Is there a limit in US?

@constantinos schinas np. Another interesting case, after 28 years, John List in New Jersey. Killed wife, 3 kids and mother in 1971. Didn’t get caught til 1989.Edit:  18 years, not 28.

@IWantThe’80’sBack Interesting. Thanks for the info.

No statute of limitations on murder in US.


Mann why did you have to put that at the end 😵💫😵💫


police officer: stephanie, did you murder this woman?<br>stephanie: i mean geez, i mean, it was so long ago, i don’t remember

police officer: stephanie, did you murder this woman?
stephanie: i mean geez, i mean, it was so long ago, i don’t remember

92 93 there was a big earthquake and I stopped teaching in 92, I can't even remember nor recall, wait what am I here for?

@Reqh Goes on 10 min tangent about natural disasters.

@Anthony S she doesn't mind talking because her buddies have been covering for her for years. Clear suspect from day 1.

I don’t understand why this is funny. Is there a joke here?

@Kristine Conlan Those cops just weren't buying her bullshit... <:  D

@Avarius 33 Holy shit, dun even get me started on that one... Ya know? <:  P

if they have evidence on her then that is a brilliant reply. If she had stuck to not remembering she'd have had a chance. The ego believes it is so powerful it can fool anyone. This posture comes from decades of experience in manipulating people & believing she is always the winner. Notice the nonassertive attitude - beware those who ALWAYS agree with a mousey voice...sucking up & making people like you makes those people...the victim pool...easier to con & manipulate

"Oh, geeeez, Rick. That's a..., that's a.... I mean, you know, that's a long time ago, Rick. I mean, I don't... I don't. I mean, I don't know what to tell you, I don't remember relationships from that long ago."

*insert Stephanie’s cartoon facial expressions”<br>😂

*insert Stephanie’s cartoon facial expressions”
😂

@Anthony S and I had a bath in 72 lolllllll

I mean jeez gosh i dont even remember my name

As a serving police officer 1 she surely knows they are questioning her Cos she’s a suspect and 2 if she’s not bright enough to know and walk out making them arrest her surely she can lie better than that , I mean she’s so obviously lying and panicking , a normal answer would be calmly oh I’ve no idea it was ages ago and I honestly can’t remember instead em oh I’m thinking erm no yes maybe I mean when was that, give us a break your a terrible liar 🤥

I..i..i mean gosh I may have wh wh what is this about

"Geez, I mean, is like 2009, that doesn't ring a bell"

"i mean, probably, but it was like a million years ago so that might not be a true statement"


I'm amazed that as a cop, she didn't immediately clam up and request legal counsel the second she realized something was going down. If she had, she may well have gotten off lightly, maybe even walked away scot-free. Panic does strange things to people I guess.

I highly doubt she would have gotten away scot free.  DNA science caught up with her and that bite she gave the victim sealed Stephanie’s fate.

@Tony Arcieri
she didn't know they  had her dna.. she thot it was just a cold case follow up..
she musta thot play dumm and it'll be over..  actually , her life was over that minute..

@Duggy Dugg it was millions of years ago!

@Duggy Dugg the relevance to my comments being?

@Michael Fowkes <br>that she was inconsistent

@Michael Fowkes
that she was inconsistent

@Duggy Dugg er... why are you making these points to me? What's your conclusion?

@Duggy Dugg but also to see how she would respond to their relatively soft questioning. The more she talks, the more she incriminates herself. The game is to not reveal how much they know so that she keeps talking and revealing her guilt. Just the fact that initially she claimed she couldn't remember meeting Sheri and 20 mins later was admitting she had had public 'fights' with her, provided them with a huge amount evidence. The statement analysis of this interrogation is priceless and this footage was admissible in court. I can't imagine there are many people, who, having seen this would think she was innocent. The DNA evidence is the proof that confirms her guilt but in the minds of all who watch it, this interrogation seals her fate...

@Michael Fowkes
a. the young stephanie dated john sporadically
b. after killing sherri ... Stephanie doesn't pursue romance & marriage with john
c. stepanie marries another man...

@Michael Fowkes <br>yup she didn't know they had conclusive dna match... i suppose they did the smoothy approach to get her physically easy to take down without her gun.

@Michael Fowkes
yup she didn't know they had conclusive dna match... i suppose they did the smoothy approach to get her physically easy to take down without her gun.

because she knows that claming up and calling for a lawyer would have imeadiatly been seen as a sign of some kind of guilty knowledge and she wants to appear innocent of why she might be being questioned . The investigators cleverly don't reveal their full  hand until near the end of the interrogation. They start off by asking innocuous questions that an innocent person would have no objection answering. She's trying to avoid looking guilty at all costs and she would look highly suspicious if she just refused to co-opperate with what is being presented as casual enquiry. After all.. all they start off with is do you know John Ruttin.. she has no idea what they know or suspect until about 30 mins in.. by then, she knows she's caught and the vague and contradictory answers she's given up until then have already thrown up a huge number of red flags, all  pointing to her guilt.

She thought she was free and clear because a million years ago she was overlooked...possibly protected. She went to the house at one point in full uniform and made threats against the woman who would eventually become her victim. Stephanie should have been a prime suspect at that point....

@Mingli Feng <br>too many identify with the criminal

@Mingli Feng
too many identify with the criminal

Who cares. You want her to get away? Tell your loved ones about shutting up if arrested instead

She really didn’t give them anything at all in this interview other than some weird vibes. She gave up almost no evidence that could be used against her though. The detectives had all that already before this. They have to assume they’ll never get a confession from another cop, so I’d imagine they would never have interviewed her if they didn’t have her pegged already.

@Willy Lala
she didn't  know they had the  dna match until the end of the interview.. she  thot she could  deny the circumstantial evidence..

why they did the protracted   interview instead of just charging her i can't imagine.. they had her dead bang with the  dna evidence

her DNA was at the scene? how would she get away with it? please explain. Thanks!

@Duggy Dugg  I don’t think so  budd, but i found this  , I don’t know how to explain, maybe unusual ! Police officers are familiar with law and they know how it works! Maybe she was supper confident  and felt to be untouchable and made a wrong decision!  Maybe Bcus that was not a standard interrogation she didn’t feel any threat ! I am more than happy she is done for good though! Some people commit horrible crimes for trivial reasons! It’s Unforgivable !

seems like you are on her side... might have gotten off... it was so long ago... right ??

credits to the detectives who kept her talking

She could never go free ! There was dna sample match with her!

This is very unlikely. If you watch some documentaries regarding her case you will know that police forces were already around the Parker Center when she went into the interview room. The plan originally was to immediately arrest her after she left. This interrogation does not reveal too any incriminating details. In fact, this interrogation only shows that she knows a lot of the murder. If it weren't not for the witness reports, there would have been no reason to arrest her.

@Max Power guessing u skipped grade 7 biology class.

Even if she’d clammed up, she wasn’t going anywhere. They had the DNA evidence from when Steph bit Sherri’s arm, remember? I think that would’ve been enough to convict right there.

You need to give credit to the 2 detectives, the setup and their execution was perfect. Maybe her guard was up for sooo long but no matter how well trained you are, everyone is bound to get caught off guard. Again props to these detectives


"And now it seems like you're trying to pin something on me"<br>Says a cop with over 20 years of experience 1 hour and 7 minutes into an interrogation.

"And now it seems like you're trying to pin something on me"
Says a cop with over 20 years of experience 1 hour and 7 minutes into an interrogation.

@Tman Talk it up I think the fact that over 20 years had passed, she didn't think for a second they would ever catch her. Overconfidence of a Sociopath.

@Chance I reckon she was a very nasty cop.

It’s very different on the other side of the table. And when you are suppressing panic 🙀

@MG she should've smelled it coming. She's been the interrogator before

I wonder how many things she pinned on people who didn't do it just for her to get upset when they were pinning her for something she knew she did?

They didn't tell her it's a interrogation beforehand, they asked her to come for a talk about the case.

She was decades in the art theft department...

I read this at the exact moment she said it— creepy af


Something that always stands out to me is when Stephanie says, "Yeah, I know she got killed." That choice of those words and the delivery gives away everything. An innocent person would say something like, "I believe she was murdered" and would probably follow it with "It was very tragic. That poor woman." Saying that Sherri "got killed" makes it sound like Stephanie believes Sherri got what she deserved.

@Tootsie Muah i do think it indicates that she didnt care for her tho

Every single person is different therefore will react differently.

you are right.  i noticed the same thing when the disgusting fred west of gloucester uk, was being interviewed under caution. he later killed himself in prison. he and his wife rose killed several girls, including their own daughters. fred had also killed one or two partners before he met rose. he casually mentioned where one was buried, saying:  she got killed... this is after he has admitted multiple murders. yet he makes it sound so passive and unconnected to him, as if she happened to get struck by lightning, out in that lonely place in the countryside.

@t t  Right. I forgot that “was” is a verb but the rest of what I said was correct. I said action word because that’s how verbs were explained to me in school and I figured that would be the easiest way to explain it to a non-English speaker

Elp Smith "Was" and "got" are both verbs, the first inactive and the second active. A verb does not have to be an action word; a verb can also infer a state of being! "Got killed," in this case, is a (grammatically incorrect) verb phrase! Both words work as a verb together. ("Was killed" would be the grammatically correct version.)

@VictoriaRainShine The difference is very subtle. I think what they are trying to say is that saying she was murdered describes it as something that happened to her and uses the name for the crime that was committed. “Got killed” is a very unnatural way to describe what happened. Also, “was” is an adjective (describing) while “got” is a verb (action word) so it makes it seem as if it was her fault because her actions got her killed. In Stephanie’s mind, that woman got what she deserved.

Can you explain to a non-native speaker what is the difference between those words?

Idk, that did come off as weird to me, but if I heard it out of context coming from a cop who sees shit like that every day, id just assume she was callous to it now. Luckily, tho, I'm not the investigator lol

@Jeff hey. My grandma makes the BEST tide pods. Serious. Gordon Ramsey wants her recipe.

She sounds weirdly chipper when she says it. Like she doesn’t sound somber or serious like a normal person would be

What about she genuinely didn't care about death as its probably daily breed at her job?

@Tootsie Muah Not a reach, she pretends to not know so much about  her ex, but she is apparently so sure about her ex's deceased wife? In her head, she was like "if i pretended i didnt know about her death, it would look pretty sus"

So she went out and said the truth but she overshot a bit because like the op says, the way it was phrased was so weird

@Martin Ml. Banič What I’m saying is, several times before she mentions Sherri’s death, the detectives ask her what her relationship with Sherri was, etc.
Even though in reality she clearly did not like Sherri (as she literally harassed her before killing her), she was very adamant that there was nothing going on between her and Sherri in the past, and that she actually knew next to nothing about her. In reality, she had stalked, harassed, and inevitably killed this woman.

So, regardless of if she did kill Sherri or not, she was already hiding any possible motive by pretending like she didn’t hate her guts. If she admitted she was relieved by her death in any way it would make her “oh I don’t know her” story false.

@Tuzi Kitty Cat Why not? She is at police interrogation, not having chat with her friends, it's logical not to reveal potential motive of the murder in order to protect herself. In both cases you either wanna avoid getting caught or be falsely accused just based on motive.

@Martin Ml. Banič even if she was relieved it’d still be against her story. She kept insisting that she never had any ill-will towards Sherri.

But well that is only possibility. She is in fact trying to play it off like she has bad memory or something lol.

Not necessarily, what if she despised that person, but didn't kill and then was "relieved" that it happened?


She makes me so self conscious about my ability to pretend/lie that I think I'll just never do any of it ever again LMAO

@Avocado  I’m bad at telling the truth when it comes to uncomfortable questions cause I’ll start laughing or getting uncomfortable and they’ll immediately think I’m lying

For real hahhaha  i laughed when she answered the question

@Sloth well I didn't mean only that I meant just try to be relaxed and not get pressured cuz he doesn't have any fault

@Itachi Uchiha "You get nervous and easily flustered under pressure? Easy, don't do that."

Thanks for your words of wisdom.

@Avocado  just don't fell the pressure cuz before I have been like you just feel like you are in the right and condifent to not look guilty

My problem is, I'm bad at telling the truth. My family teases me about it. It sounds weird, but when someone asks me a question or presses me, even if I did not do it and don't know anything about it, I will act like this and get all flustered and nervous and red in the face. So if someone could give me advice about how to tell the truth without looking like a liar, please go ahead

Most people are bad liars. And the detectives that are good at questioning are even better at detecting bad liars. You should NEVER EVER lie. Even if you would be (rightfully or wrongfully) interrogated, you should not lie. It will only fuck you over in the end


Psychology truly is a fascinating field. Even with narrator pointing out the various body language traits I still can't fully comprehend them myself.

But you can still tell something is off about these people


It's crazy that a cop with 25 years experience at the job gets lured into situation like this and only thinks of a lawyer after 20 minutes of interrogation, after getting asked for a DNA sample without formally getting arrested nor called as a witness or anything. I also wonder how this is actually legal.

It's legal because it's consensual. At any point you can refuse an interview, DNA test. You don't have to answer any questions the cops pose you with.


A lot of times, suspects go off on tangents in order to create time enough to come up with a plausible answer . . . hardly ever has an upside.

In my former organization, it was an investigative requirement to complete "Interview Worksheets" on ALL persons interviewed/interrogated.  The sheets consisted of basic routine, general, boring questions in which the interviewee would supply truthful information.  I would use the sheets for two main reasons: establish rapport and identify physical responses and "tells" of those responses.  Later during the I/I, those tells would become important in assessing the interviewee's truthfulness.
