She handled this interview about as worse as humanly possible.

Lazarus had her work cut out for her...props to these detectives for doing an excellent job that couldn't have been easy.  Lazarus was a long-time, decorated detective herself.

@Adi Inbar I think she was completely blindsided, and didn't have time to think of what to do, and just went into immediate defensive mode. She probably realized that quite quickly, but then went into a frazzled attempt to fix the damage she had already done. Once she was in the hole, she panicked and all her experience went out the window.

@Adi Inbar it’s prefaced early on in the video that being aware of police interrogation tactics and actually being on the receiving end of them are two different things entirely. They got her to panic so all critical thinking went out the window.

Most annoying interrogation I ever watched.

@Adi Inbar its also painful because SHES STUTTERING

@MrOjeeeee I mean. It's 2009 now? I'm trying to 🤔 think

She did, especially as a cop. What’s surprising is she had no contingency plan/story ready for what would happen if she was interviewed and asked these questions. And if she was really cautious, she should have taken advantage of the fact that she had twenty years to disappear, when no one was suspecting her.

@Disgust Of-Riley this interrogation should be the gold standard for police investigations

@Lady Helix good points.  she did make it up the ladder, she may have been good at her job, but who knows what else she was into.

@Tax is Slavery Boxing Murder, no. Crimes, more that likely. She is an officer who got away with murder. I am a massive supporter of law enforcement, but she is a glaring example of a ‘bad cop’.

u think she did any other crimes in all those years??

They did go out of their way to make sure she didn't see it as an interrogation

@just a lonely poteto It’s all an ability to act, lie, and remain calm in the most of anxiety inducing circumstances.

Nah I could’ve done worse … im shit at lying

It’s because she knows they know and she can’t believe she got caught after so many years and her adrenaline is through the roof

Oh, well gee….idk. I mean….Mars is in retrograde, so uh that’s why I’m kinda sleepy ugh I mean what’s this all about…? Lmao 🤣

Especially those overanimated facial expressions are a dead giveaway

This is a bit of a classic for true crime. Seen it far too many times, genuinely think she had planned, then denied this day. It took her by surprise and she did a bad job. I honestly don’t think that is simplistic - she fell apart when confronted with reality.

As badly as one of her good customers lol

Gosh. I don't know. It may be the worst way to handle an interview. But it's so long ago. Maybe! Gosh .. It might be the worst way to handle it? I mean, I don't know! Gosh .. But I once went on a trip to Hawaii. But I can't even remember. But he lived on Roscoe.

@just a lonely poteto I think it's more like the teacher flunking the test worse than any of the students after 26 years of administering and grading the same kind of test.

She immediately panicked as soon as she noticed she wasn’t there for stolen art, she probably knew when she saw 2 detectives there as well

@Adi Inbar we've got to consider that anyone could figure out how these interrogations work but it's like those class tests when the teacher said that you could bring your notes, it won't help you as it's not important to know how it works, it will catch you offguard either way if you did it (and sometimes even if you didn't, sadly) as it relies on some things you can't permanently control/hide

@Jude Scott  @Jude Scott  I don't think so. In the beginning her reaction was probably just "oh, shit....they're reopening my cold case!" but it was perfectly plausible and in fact just plain common sense that if the case file mentioned that one of their colleagues personally knew the people involved they'd want to talk to that person as a potential source of information.

I'm sure she picked up on the fact that she was being interrogated as a suspect within the first minute, when they started asking specific questions about the nature of her relationship with Rutten, which would be pointless if they just wanted to see if she happened to know anything that might give them a lead, but she started fucking up literally from the very first question, sounding evasive when just asked whether she knew him and not mentioning that she dated him until specifically prompted. Besides, realizing that she was a suspect should have been all the more reason, as an experienced police investigator herself, to be careful not to throw up textbook red flags that investigators look for, such as responding to simple questions with excessive details, repeatedly reacting in a defensive manner to non-confrontational questions, and having a knee-jerk tendency to needlessly deny potentially verifiable facts that wouldn't directly tie her to the crime.

For all her training and experience being on the other side of the table, she showed far worse instincts about how to act and what not to say or do in an interrogation that ostensibly wasn't even an interrogation than the majority of criminals with no such experience who are explicitly being interrogated as suspects.

@Jude Scott  @Jude Scott  I don't think so. In the beginning her reaction was probably just "oh, shit....they're reopening _my_ cold case!" but it was perfectly plausible and in fact just plain common sense that if the case file mentioned that one of their colleagues personally knew the people involved they'd want to talk to that person as a potential source of information.

@Adi Inbar to be fair. To think that you are so far in the clear from something only to be confronted in such a sudden way. She is a 26 year veteran, so she immediately knew she was fucked the second they started mentioning Rutten and his wife. She saw right through the art investigation and knew they had her booked for the murder in some way, but there's no way she could just come out and say thats what they were doing

@EkG I've watched 10 of these, and she was BY FAR the most annoying and most painful to listen to. She's been a cop for 26 freaking years, and she handles an interrogation worse than any of the other criminals featured on this channel?! She must be an idiot. I think the detectives would have become convinced she did it even if they hadn't suspected her at all to begin with and really were just interviewing her to gather information.

For real. Although I'm so glad they got her, it's literally like STFU already, at minute 5 at the latest.


Who knew clicking on a video that said "what pretending to be crazy looks like" would lead me down an incredibly fascinating rabbit hole. This is terrific content.

Interrogator: Did you know someone named Rutter? Lazerus: "Gee... i don't know, let me think.. ahhh... is that a man?... did i date a man? ... gee maybe, i don't know... i know i met a man in Hawaii, but was that Rutter? ... could be the name of a barn animal....it was so long ago. "

Yep stumbled across the same video a few months ago and ended up watching every video on his channel. A new video from his other channel popped up in my recommended list from 6 days ago! The channel is called "J C S"

Never knew he had another channel so hope this helps!

Shes been arresting people and who knows what abuse she has dealt out to prisoners also suspects in custody. They should do a full investigation and void any court testimony she has done to convict people. Null and void !

OMG YESSSS THANK GOD I CLICKED OR ELSE I WILL BE WATCHIN USELESS SHIT

You must have some interesting search history. That’s a pretty unique thing to look for.

Same here. I’m thankful it’s fascinating content. YouTube algorithms or something 🤷🏼♀

i'm exactly in your situation: the youtube channel is awesome

I have crushed all but two of these so far. It’s simply fascinating. All of it. A glimpse into a different world.

There are a few other channels that have content very similar, presented similarly.

But the question becomes…how much is too much lol

So true... And here we all are... Learning how to counter the police forces interrogations... 😂

This is hella funny Bcz I saw another vid a girl saying the exact same thing capitalism works 🤝😼

The faces she pulls when she’s trying to fake ignorance are bloody hilarious

@Aniata yeah of course I do. You probably rely on the education system and pop science/psychology to be "informed/educated/wise/have knowledge" not gonna happen and also ignorance isnt bliss. You prefere comfort and have no vision of your future I bet. Unless you want to have a career as a women Llooool

@Karol E do you even read books or just cry on internet all day?

@Aniata too many to list even half of them. Do you read any  books or do you just entertain yourself all day?

@Karol E what hobbies do you have? Except posting weak baits on the internet

@Aniata it's not a bait internet ruins girls you have no hobbies

@Valeria get off the internet and go to the kitchen

@Karol E Get out of your house and get a reality check

@Autumn Rae very funny i liked this reply

@DeepFriedCheesecake women didnt work until the 1Ndus7rial revolution I get my comments deleted because I'm too based for the kajk AI

@Layale Chidiac woah, calm down there dont bring clowns into this.

@Karol E bruh, why are you so mad? Chill homie


All jokes aside, I cried when I heard John’s statement. He blamed HIMSELF for her murder all because she met him. This man never got over it, and he never will..

@A1 Since Day 1 ! I never claimed there wasn’t, I just meant that she wasn’t the only one who did shitty things

Surely John would have had some doubts about her but still contained to have a relationship. <br>The argument plus the friend's saying it was her and the bad blood between them.

Surely John would have had some doubts about her but still contained to have a relationship.
The argument plus the friend's saying it was her and the bad blood between them.

John is the kind of man i hope i never meet in my life lmao

@Rynn21 yes he had sex with her after his wife was murdered but the info on Wikipedia says that he called the detective assigned to her case first to make sure that she was not a suspect but the police detective was so caught up in the botched burglary angle so he assured him that she was not a suspect. He at least tried to be certain that she had nothing to do with it before he got back involved with her.

I also feel bad for him because I read that a few years after his wife's murder, he started dating Stephanie again but before he did he contacted the police detective who was assigned to her case to be sure that they didn't think she had anything to do with it and the detective assured him that his wife was killed in a botched burglary. To now know that he allowed himself to spend intimate time with the person who killed someone so special to him must bother him a lot. Especially considering he went through the trouble of trying to make sure she had nothing to do with the murder first. That's tough.

@Kai Pierre she was lready unstable. He probably saw it as a hookup unfortunately Stephanie did not

You mean the man that cheated with the woman that murdered his wife before, after and probably while he was married to her!? Of course it's his fault for carrying on a relationship with a crazy bitch while he was with someone else. I fell NOTHING for him! He should feel guilty!

Seems to me that if John really missed Sherry then he wouldn't have porked Stephanie after he buried his wife he doesn't care one bit he just wants the goddamn attention

Perhaps you might be able to tell me why Stephanie and John had a short affair after Sherry was murdered does that tell you he cares at all not from my end of the table

@Blefiz  legally it doesn’t but morally it does depending on the person. to me his actions indirectly led to his wife’s murder, of course he wasn’t the one that killed her but he did contribute to the emotional instability of stephanie that led to the murder of his wife.

@isaa GUIDANCE ok, and? That doesn’t mean he made her kill him. People cheat everyday and he didn’t know she killer her...by your logic any person caught in a love triangle is responsible for the actions of the person who actually killed someone. Did he contribute to her mental instability, probably. Is he at fault for his wife’s murder. No.

but he cheated on her with the very woman who killed his wife so yes it's PARTLY his fault.

@Shiranui22 yeah she was totally sick. I’m only going by the information given here and they didn’t mention anything about that. She definitely has problems, there’s no denying that. That doesn’t really change the fact that he slept with her while with this other person which is basically leaving the door open for them. Had he just left it at that and not slept with her then maybe she wouldn’t have kept thinking they had chance of working out. She’s still in the wrong. I just don’t really have a lot of sympathy for him.

@Kim Ptastic  According to the wiki of the murder he said he had sex with her once “to give her closure.” Tbh I don’t really even put that much blame on John in the first place. Sherri basically stalked him in college <b>*before*</b> they had ever even hooked up. “Lazarus would steal Ruetten's clothes when he showered and take photographs of him naked while he slept. Ruetten never considered the relationship as anything more than "necking and fooling around." Like yea you can say it’s partially his fault but like she had problems before John really even did anything.

I had the exact opposite reaction. He could’ve prevented it by not cheating on his fiancé and it’s more than likely that he knew about the confrontation at the hospital. He could’ve ended things with one or the other and made it absolutely clear who he picked. Instead he just let these women fight over him because he liked some aspect of it. Or maybe he truly loved them both and couldn’t choose? Even though he was engaged?? Idk when he said her death happened because she met and married him I just kinda said “hmmmm yeah kinda”. I mean obviously he doesn’t have equal blame to the person that actually killed her and savagely brutalized her after her death. It’s just that he’s not entirely wrong when he says that. He indirectly caused it because of his decisions. Sucks but that’s life.

@Valen Oliva he didnt know that she murdered his wife

@A1 Since Day 1 ! but he went with the murderer or his wife, after she was murdered

@Elli3 R Sure but theres a difference between a murderer and someone who cheated.

@morise nouga makes no difference to his innocence about his wife murder, legally or morally.

@morise nouga Yup and I'm pretty sure they hooked up <b>after</b> she was murdered as well

@morise nouga Yup and I'm pretty sure they hooked up *after* she was murdered as well

Yes that’s sad but did she had an affaire even after he married his wife or no ?


I can't believe that this 25 year cop doesn't realize she is being interrogated after the first 5 minutes and lawyers up. Good job on the other two cops for making it seem like " we're all friends here"

She knew... she was just playing along as surprised and innocent...

It just shows that people who murder are so narcissistic and self-important that they always - always!- think that they will look innocent if they don’t “ lawyer up”. Even a 25 year Detective who should absolutely know better thinks she can outsmart two senior detectives......<br>murderers always think that being open and talkative in an interview will make Detectives think “there is no way a guilty person would come in and sit here and answer questions for hours” -.....she probably believed that because she is a detective it would be very hard for other Detectives to interview her let alone interrogate her or consider her a suspect.....she was lulled into a false sense of security that 25 years have passed and she was never suspected of it. This woman is batshit nuts ....she is not attractive in any way and her personality is utterly bizarre.

@Mollyt

If she had asked for a lawyer. She would have looked guilty thats why she continued. If you arent guilty an interrogation isnt a problem

That’s what I found strange. Why would she not catch on that she was a suspect and lawyer up???

Wouldn’t matter. DNA n dental/bite records doomed her. Sounded like they had enough to get a warrant for DNA/dental records from the jump.

seriously like how did she not feel somehow suspicious that they continuously asked for  details which all relate to john and his wife who was MURDERED especially after it passed 10 mins. maybe she got too into telling her story as if to defend herself and make her less of a suspect since she didn't know she was a prime suspect (?)

Ya if it was just a "friend conversation"  you would think she would have said up front  " why are you not asking John these questions"

She probably thoughts She would talk her way outs

I think she did know, but she was just so arrogant that she thought she could talk her way out of it. If she had known that there's was DNA linking her to the body, she probably would have shut up and immediately requested a lawyer.

She knew...she thought that she could talk her way out of it and didn’t realize they DNA 🧬

They always know but they think they’re smart and can talk their way out .

@Kim Anderson Yeah I think she thought she could probably talk her way out of it because she already did before when she had to have been questioned in some way the 1st time years ago. She didn't want to draw any more focus on her to be looked into further and investigated which would happen getting a lawyer. She thinks it's just simple questioning about a cold case and not a official interrogation for murder with her the main star. She probably thinks she can talk her way out and have them check her off as a suspect again. The investigation the 1st round failed so badly it was like they couldn't be bothered to actually try.

@Jose Gutierrez Oh definitely! She thought she got away with it and just found out that she didn't! And not only are they investigating it again but she's currently a person of interest being interviewed! And yeah having it sprung on her suddenly after so many years couldn't make a story and alibi, she doesn't know what they know and what others being questioned will say that will conflict with her. So as her last defense is using it being so long ago to forget or get details wrong.

The panic and shock after hearing a name she hasn't heard in over 2 decades, in an interrogation room with 2 detectives... she was in full fight or flight mode must have been a huge shock to her she probably wasn't thinking clearly.

I think she knew what was happening when they asked her if she knew John but she had to try and talk her way out. She knew if she stopped answering their questions and asked for a lawyer she would look guilty.

I'm shocked at that, this was a flat out interrogation and from the first few minutes she should be able to tell what their questions are insinuating. Maybe she just thought she could talk her way out of it


Despite how terribly she handled this interview, she would still be walking free today if she, a police officer, wasn’t stupid enough to bite a DEAD body and leave the most irrefutable DNA evidence ever

Geez...has been like a million yesrs ago

Even then. The cops obviously tried to cover it up, besides just completely ignoring her psychological profile, they also "lost evidence"

They did however check dental records and would have been able to match the bite with her teeth

@Connor Shaw because what if they don't have shit, no DNA or not even suspecting her and they really just came to talk about it. I mean, it'd be different I guess if they came to me, but her being one of their own screaming "lawyer" right after they started would open their eyes widely if they didn't even supect her, right? She should probably shut the f up after a while though as it was becoming quite obvious, at least for us, that she's a suspect. Couldn't she really thought it through, as some below said, she had 25 years for that. Couldn't she realize that since she bite her then she should come up with some kind of explanation why would her DNA be on the victim? Like anything, came up with a story, that they fought and she bite her and instead not trying to persuade everyone that she doesn't recall having any problems with the victim?

@Amy B I agree. She should have known better.

@SummerBayJournal - Home and Away The Early Years Thanks, I take it as a compliment! 😁

@Palahume but her being a police officer should of known they were def working on DNA testing to be a thing! She knew that was a big mistake, huge! 😂😂😂

@Luke McGill I'm glad we got the acknowledgement that you've seen the replies 😉

@SummerBayJournal - Home and Away The Early Years sorry I’m still a little unclear, would you mind repeating it again?

@Bianconero27 No need to be sorry, I wish most people on youtube were as polite as you.

@SummerBayJournal - Home and Away The Early Years LMAO, again, sorry.

@Bianconero27 I wasn't replying to you I was replying to the original comment :)

@SummerBayJournal - Home and Away The Early Years Bruh, I’m sorry.

Just in case you didn't get it the first 12 replies, nobody had heard of DNA testing in those days so she had no reason to think that biting the body was leaving irrefutable evidence.

@Palahume Not DNA testing, but Ted Bundy got caught because he bit a body and that hired a dentist for dental records and shit, so that’s how they caught him. (Excluding the girl that escaped, but the dental records were the irrefutable evidence).

Ahhhh but remember....all the other evidence went missing. If the bite swab was taken from the coroner’s office with the other evidence, she would be free today.

@Kauity No, she was bit during the fight. Sherri had her in a choke/headlock and Stephanie bit her to release the hold. Then she got up and smashed a vase over her head.

cringe worthy stuff right here...how does she not shut up and ask for a lawyer?

This was before DNA evidence was a thing.

@Kauity Probably.  From the Wiki article on the case she definitely staged quite a bit of the crime scene.

Tsar Bomba I don’t think they were fighting when she bit her. She was already dead.

It's more common for women to bite in a fight then men... although it does happen occasionally with men.  But not that often.

They didn't have DNA testing like that back then.

at the time they didn t have the technology to get into that stuff, plus she kept punching someone she murdered with three different shots which would have been deadly individually. She was obviously in a rage, not exactly the mood to coldly think "better not bite the body"


Stephanie's very specific memories: "We all lived on the 10th floor.", "I've met Scott in April '92.", "He [John Ruetten] drove a 260Z.", "I have one picture [out of 10.000 as she said in the interrogation] with him [John] in it.", "Diana Baster.", "Mike Boldrick.", "Roy Suckaboo." "We met in Hawaii.", "Randy. Mike. The firefighters and who they dated with.", "I talked to him [John] about it. To his family.", "[He lived] On Roscoe.", "His brother went to Northridge.", "His sister slept at my house before.", "He played Basketball." "I was teaching DARE when I met Scott.", etc.

Very specific details she is still remembering 23 years later, right? But:

Detectives: "Have you EVER met his wife?" [While having a crush on John Ruetten for years, going over to their house and to Mrs. Rasmussen's working place to confront her.]

Stephanie: "I MAY have."

Hahaha brilliant 🥳! You sound just like her. Lol. Innocent people give short, direct answers. They don’t elaborate to stall or placate the detectives. They simply say “yes”, “no”, “about ten years ago”, “her name was Cathy”. Appreciate your effort in relaying her speech - hilarious 😅❤🙃!

She couldnt even say whether she’d been in a physical confrontation with someone as an adult.

Let me tell you first that I've been around. I've been a bouncer for many many years. BANG BANG BANG. It's a street fight NEVER look away from your opponent. "Look sir I really don't want anything of this" and then I go WHUH like this and I slit ya throat and it's over and out. WHRAH WHRAH.

Everybody underestimates the kick in the groin. WHRUH, that's the first thing to do. I follow up BENG BENG BENG. Right away after that DANG ADA DANG ADA DANG. See what I'm doing? BOOM! That's the left elbow right there. I can also deliver HANG! Headbutt out of nothing. BOOM right elbow, BING right straight, maybe now the headbutt comes, knee to the face, and lookie lookie what we got here, smack his face, smack his face.

Create distance and grab a chair, you can slam it into his face, you can stab with it, and while I throw it at him I will kick him in the groin BOOM right straight, gonna bounce his head on the table 10 times or something DONG DONG "Don't you ever do this!" Right away you say "OK I'm sorry" BENG BENG BENG "No I'm not".

@LadyOaks NZ i agree with you.. if killing someone is one of them you would remember that 🤣. But as they started the investigation they wouldnt know she is really the killer or not.

@ال الزدجال Yeah I forget a few things too... but matters of the heart?  I remember every detail  ... every woman is a Specialist Forensic expert where love is concerned.

@isabel lind Poor Roy Suckaboo wished he didn't have to ever be called that about 10 seconds after birth.

I find it difficult to remember things 10 years ago. If someone told me thing or two i might remember somethings.

she was having a million schmeeda moments...

Lol that was exactly what I was thinking!

Let me check my pictures!  (true Crime looser channel!)

panik radio -  Ah, hahaha!  Poor Roy Suckaboo wishes she hadn't dragged his name into this!


So let me get this straight;
-Stephanie dated the victims husband before and after the murder
-Stephanie harassed the victim at her job and threatened her life
-The victim had most of her wounds done post mortem, implying the murder was personal
-The victim's father and a friend pointed at Stephanie as the prime suspect.

The fact this woman walked free 20 years after the murder is a miscarriage of justice.

@Mashburn Edits oh yes, relax, "they don't murder THAT many people"
Not even touching upon whether or not it's properly reported. Imaging trusting any corporation's statistics regarding their own crimes.

"But this video"
Uncovering a cold case like that is a media sensation. Hard to believe she was well liked based on her being, you know, a sociopath.

@Mashburn Edits I know about the DNA, I watched the video man.
At the time of the original investigation, she wasn't even listed as a suspect or interrogated or in any way looked at. That is a bit suspect from the investigating officers, don't you think?
She had publicly attacked the victim before, had to be escorted by security, had come in unannounced to their house trying to create a scene, the victims father suspected her at the time, some of the victim's friends knew she had possible motive.
All this and not even questioned, not once?

@Mashburn Edits they're solving cold cases, they waited to investigate her 25 years after 😐

@Hatte! Is generally accepted as fact? You mean by you? We're literally watching a video of police doing their job despite her being "one of their own", so I'm having a hard time believing you.

@tori aragon So then why did "her own" investigate her?

@tori aragon So then why did "her own" investigate her?

@Rishi Sen Jail time for what is at the worst incompetence in catching a murderer? It's very clearly stated the only reason she was found out was due to new methods and technology for DNA evidence.

@Hatte! They don't speak out and condemn their co-workers? The explain why we are literally discussing on a video of this woman's fellow officers making sure justice is served?

@Hatte! In the very video you're commenting on, there are good cops going after a bad cop.  You're hysterical.  If you look at yearly statistics, there is no epidemic of cops murdering people in cold blood.  Get off social media and look at the number and the circumstances of officer-involved shootings.  You say the things you do because it's the hip new trend, not because you're informed.  I bet you still believe Mike Brown had his hands up when he was shot.

@Rishi Sen aw tysm! that actually makes alot of sense

@Rishi Sen aw tysm! that actually makes alot of sense

@BunE yeah I don't know. what Dan said is my guess too. Like a fraternal cover up...
 Or giving them the benefit of doubt, maybe they weren't that involved. They knew the cop had assaulted the victim publicly and dated her husband and mayb decided not to get her involved ...
"let's not drag one of our own through the mud and destroy her reputation. Let's not damage her career"
Best of luck with the criminal law. I'm sure you're gonna impact our society in a good way

@Dice MM I was taught growing up that members of the Nazi party who stood by and did nothing as their compatriots slaughtered/oppressed innocent people are just as guilty as those who actively raised their hand in violence/cruelty.

Why do you treat cops like they are an exception to this? If your coworker murders someone and you cover for them because of some sense of collective security you are EVIL.

Or at least really fucking stupid, which is pretty hard to distinguish from evil sometimes.

@Hatte! How is you deciding who is evil and not the exact same thing you condemn cops for. <br>Tell me how deciding a group of people are evil based on their profession.

@Hatte! How is you deciding who is evil and not the exact same thing you condemn cops for.
Tell me how deciding a group of people are evil based on their profession.

@Dice MM No, I explained precisely why each specific cop is evil.<br>Even the good ones don't condemn their murdering, power-abusing coworkers, as i already said and is generally accepted as fact. This is an evil act.

You might care to know that currently 2/3 of the murders in Chicago go unsolved, there has never been justice, never will.  Buy a gun, lock your doors at night, and based on like 90% of these episodes, be careful who you date!

@A. Mabud Cops didn't exist for most of human history though.<br>The first real municipal police only came about in the US in the mid 1800s.

@A. Mabud Cops didn't exist for most of human history though.
The first real municipal police only came about in the US in the mid 1800s.

@Hatte! You're right, the only reason they came back to her was to get their numbers up.

@Hatte! oh jeez, thats kind of scary ngl. so then could it be possible that officers that do those same things also play an important role for cases where the suspect is falsely accused? What i mean is do officers have an influences on those cases?

@BunE "what benefit would those officers have?"<br>Knowing that when they need to get away with murder their coworkers will have their back.

@BunE "what benefit would those officers have?"
Knowing that when they need to get away with murder their coworkers will have their back.

@Rishi Sen true i didnt think about that, but what benefit would those officers have? because surely they wouldnt benefit from it right?

In an ideal world, the original officers on the case should get some jail time too. Some people definitely covered it up or at the very least, eliminated her from the list of suspects

@TheHappyParamedic • im a high school freshman but i really want to be a criminal prosecution lawyer when i grow up! thats the direction i want to go in :)

@BunE I hear ya! are you in school for it?

@BunE I hear ya! are you in school for it?

@TheHappyParamedic • yea im not 100 percent sure either, im still learning about criminal law.

@Gabriel Ahimsa I did not have sexual relations with that woman

@Gabriel Ahimsa I did not have sexual relations with that woman

@BunE  I believe what you’re referring to is “double jeopardy”. If a person is acquitted they cannot be charged again for the same crime. I also could be wrong and there’s a bit more to it then that but I believe you’re correct. (I’m just going on what I’ve personally read about/gathered from cases I have followed, I have no expertise in the area whatsoever)

@Thomas Adams im pretty sure there is one in south korea, as well as a rule that says a person can't be convicted for the same charges twice, (correct me if im wrong)

@BunE In America there isn't a statute of limitations for murder. Not sure about other countries

im just glad that they at least got her, in some other countries there is a clause that states that after x number of years the case is no longer relevant and they dont even think to try to catch the bad guy,

She got lucky there was an actual robbery happing the same evenining on the same street where she murdered that girl. Thats why they got so obsessed on the idea that it was 2 guys who had done it.

It's like cops are a necessary evil. I don't like them one bit, but who's gonna apprehend the crimes then? Some of the criminals are disgustingly good at what they do, and without cops, things will become really bad.

@Hatte! absolutely based take. ever since i got more into true crime like this i’ve simultaneously believed ACAB more and more. don’t know how people can support them after the infinite number of cases cops🐽 have fucked up.

The “Good ol’ boy” system strikes again!

The “Good ol’ boy” system strikes again!

And he still was with her after the murder.  To bite someone like that ,that's  shows a struggle  before she was shot.

she did not have relationship with monica lewinsky

she did not have relationship with monica lewinsky

Of course she walked free she was a cop in the age before cell phone cameras made the pigs at least somewhat accountable.


can you imagine finding out the woman who came to your elementary school and told you not to smoke pot had brutally murdered someone.

More like "The Interrogation of Jim Carrey" with those faces she keeps making...

Haha. I was just thinking about the same thing.

@Robin Robbins quite correct. Very, very few are murderers. Even regular people might have to kill in self defense, and police are in a position where it's more likely.

Detective: so how long did you and John date?

Stephanie: in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth-

Holy shit I thought you were making a joke but she actually taught D.A.R.E hahahaha fucking classic!

@bubbles #2 precisely , and if its pot you really really  want , and then smoke ,  you are the winner.

@Gilly Bean in 25 years,maybe they invited this woman inside their house and bond with their family.so scary.......I wouldn't be shocked if their wives fainted knowing this.

Murder is nothing compared to the DeViL’s LeTtUcE

Imagine if she smoked pot too.<br>Whole neighborhood would have died.

Imagine if she smoked pot too.
Whole neighborhood would have died.

our dare officer would always smell like cigarettes

@WesGamer yeah every group isnt going to have a sparkly clean record but to label all of them as killers/murderers is just a tiny bit stupid

Technically all cops are murderer. Their only job is to discern between who to shoot and who not to shoot. But everyone makes "mistakes" right?

I was literally thinking about this while watching it

Our dare officer got caught doing drugs lol. Now he works security at my work and acts like hes the king of the building lol

o_o<br>Must be similar to what these guys investigators felt when they got info about the DNA of their colleague who'd worked with them for what, 25 years? Crazy.

An innocent person would have ended this convo in 10 minutes.

@C$PG Weeb Everyone forgets about janitors like Will Hunting :(

@C$PG Weeb This the most batshit crazy thing I've ever read in my life.

@C$PG Weeb I just find it really hard to believe that you think we don’t need cops. You didn’t mention my other points so I assume that you’d call a cop in those situations

@tay yeah because most of them are guilty lol I meant innocent suspects don't often drag things out. They don't need to, they just need to give the truth and go on their way

@C$PG Weeb who you calling if your house gets robbed or if you in a car wreck or idk someone gets shot?

@Yandere Dani every video on here almost lmao

@Blefiz it's common for detectives to drag it out but how often do you see the suspect doing it? lol

@C$PG Weeb Are you aware that Leon was also a cop?

@C$PG Weeb you just fly in from stupid town?

a sane person in 2 min and beat the officer

@C$PG Weeb lol getting ratio’d how do ya feel

Not really, watch videos about innocent people being interrogated, it's common for the detectives to drag it for a long time.

@C$PG Weeb We also need more plumbers like Super Mario and lawyers like Ace Attorney.


It's just so funny because even if she didn't murder anyone, she'd still know all of this. Like, when someone you dated got married and then the wife is murdered.... that's not something you forget. How could a detective be so stupid?

It's just so funny because even if she _didn't_ murder anyone, she'd still know all of this. Like, when someone you dated got married and then the wife is murdered.... that's not something you forget. How could a _detective_ be so stupid?

I wouldnt know these things lol. Its not like I keep tabs on people.

Seriously.
It would be way more believeable if she knew every single detail of the case if she has been innocent.
If your ex's wife gets murdered while you work as a freaking police officer you would get involved right away! She would have remembered the year, the name, the two never found suspects..etc.

It's called a conscience.
A built in karma we all have.
And like pride it ranges from good to bad.
Guess which one Stephanie had?
Hitler and Stalin had zero conscience.

Exactly, it’s the coverup that gives guilty people away

@Chex NFX And that's a good thing. But all the proud Americans here in the comments behave like they are so fucking better.

I think we'd all be this stupid if we tried to cover our tracks on the spot 2 decades later.

She was probably there to prepare the coffee for the real detectives.

@BorneoftheBlood "You forget 1,000 things every day, pal. Make sure this is one of them".

@Psychedelic Anxiety Lmao that's funny, but I feel like I should point out that you eat breakfast every day, so it's not really all that important for your brain to hold onto that particular piece of information. After awhile, it all just blends together. But dating a guy who then got married who's wife then gets murdered is definitely going to imprint in your brain.

I forget what I ate for breakfast so hopefully I never get interrogated for something😂

@Grimbo Yeah, idk what my phone did there.

@Kendell Twiss You misspelled Grimbo lol

@UCLCY--yLx9ulMf87r_Zdpug One insight can summon two players. Once you ring your beckoning bell, it continues to ring until you have a full party, or until you enter the boss fog.

@Grimbo Correction: You can beckon two other players by simply beckoning the bell once and never using the silencing blank. You just have to wait longer if you want an additional player to join.

 You yourself can ring what's called a "small beckoning bell" which allows you to be summoned to another player's world. When you die in another player's world, you don't lose blood echoes, and when you kill a boss, you gain insight, which is used for beckoning players into your world.

@Grimbo You can have up to two players co-op with you. So, 3v1 bosses.

@BorneoftheBlood Really? You can have more than one partner? How do you do this? Beckoning bell+ coop npc?

My assumption is the detective already knew they had her DNA from the discreet taking of her coffee cup and it was an exact match to the DNA logged into evidence in the initial investigation.

In this instance, they knew they had their killer. I'm sure if they didn't have a slam dunk on any other suspect, they would have a completely different strategy in mind. Just my two cents.

Bloodborne for life, bro.

@Grimbo A huge part of dealing with Rom is separating the spiders from Rom herself. That's why summoning a coop partner or two is ideal.

@Grimbo Yeah, like Borne said, Rom is just a crapshoot. It's not a hard fight, just frustrating.
Something I forgot: There are specific audio cues for both of her arcane attacks. If you can just run around and not kill her, listen carefully and take note of the cues. Then once you have them memorized, you won't have to turn your camera to watch rom. Turning off the in game music is a godsend for this.

I live for Bloodborne. So, if you can't get it done, I will be more than happy to help you kill her. Also, check out /r/huntersbell if you want to find a place to find other people to co-op with.

@Kendell Twiss Thank you for the wise words. The issue is, whenever I focus the small spiders, I seem to get hit by Rom's projectile attack. Every. Single. Time. And I'm not a very smart boy, so I find it difficult to monitor Rom and fight the spiders simultaneously.

@Grimbo Kill small spiders first. Don't treat it like there's a timer, take your time. She won't attack until after she teleports for the first time. After that, she'll do a few attacks:

Melee thrashing about - Usually done when you try to spam attacks on her. Just stay close, but not RIGHT on top of her, get some hits in, but move your ass if she starts to move at all. This move hits wide and curves around her sides a bit, so it's easy to get clipped by it.

Roll into arcane shots up from the water - If you see her roll on her side, immediately run in a straight line to get into the safe zone. The shots come up from the ground and are in random spots in a specific circular area. (Look at the small spiders when they first spawn next to her, the bolts usually don't go much farther from that diameter)

Head and tail raise - If she raises her head and tail and begins to channel something, RUN!!! No matter what you're doing, just run in the straightest line as possible. She will shoot a series of arcane bolts that home to your location. So, as long as you are continuously running, they won't bop you on the head.

Fire paper is nice to have since she is weak to fire. She will teleport a total of two times in the fight. Try to wear gear with the highest amount of arcane resistance.

Good luck brother, and I hope that you were being serious about needing help, lol. Otherwise I spent 5 minutes too many typing this up on my phone, haha.

@BorneoftheBlood  Well that's unfortunate, Bloodborne is my first Souls game, and I've had almost no trouble with any of the bosses, being able to clear them in just a few tries (minus Shadows of Yharnam, that one's pretty bogus). But Rom, is just something else on how bad and difficult it is. If you look away for a few seconds to deal with the endless small spiders, there's a good chance that Rom summons their one shot without you knowing... and then you're gone. More like Rome the Jack*** Spider.

@Grimbo Other than beckoning and having the highest DPS you can, Rom is a complete crapshoot. Awful boss in my opinion

Hey, BorneoftheBlood, any tips for fighting Rom the Vacuous Spider? I've been stuck on this ridiculous moron for days.

@Chex NFX i know you’re speaking for yourself but chances are she would remember her time with him, considering she murdered his wife

She wasn't thinking like a detective. She was thinking like a criminal that thought she got away with it after 20 years and finally gets confronted

@Kelly Northcott I don’t. You forget who you don’t give a shit about, which is most

Right! Like people I haven't spoke to in YEARS... like.. I remember who they are married to and I remember who died of my friends.

Lol my sentiments exactly! But when you're caught off guard who's to say how you'll react.


this girls entire defence is “I don’t remember” could u imagine how bad her argument would’ve been when it happened

To be fair it did happen 20+ years ago, I cant remember how many times i shat in the past 2 days.

@E E That's exactly what I was thinking the whole time watching. She left room for uncertainty so that she could not be trapped in a lie. She left room for error, it was very manipulative and would've probably worked if there wasn't DNA evidence.

@Alexis Vorstman I agree and it could’ve actually worked if they didn’t have clear-cut evidence on her. She was saying stuff like “I don’t think so, but if someone else says something else, that’s the fault of my memory.” So she’s not blatantly admitting or denying stuff.

Detectives : "did you breathe that day?"                  Her : "Gee I-I mean I don't even remember, it was a million years ago"

Police: Did you murder this woman?

Her: Yes… FUCK I mean no! Psh geeze who can say for sure gosh?

@YOOOOO im not saying it will prove her not guilty, it's still a good defense because it seemingly takes a way a sense of malevolence

@Alexis Vorstman not when there's dna evidence

a pretty good defense if done correctly I would say


Who ever gave Stephanie the acting lessons owes her the class fee back. This was brutally bad.

even the best actor wouldnt be able to act at their 100% facing real consequences in a real do or die situation

@Maru Maru it was like a bajillion years ago ofc she wouldn't

Unfortunately, she doesn’t remember who her teacher was

Literally it’s so bad. My cat can do better

I’ve heard it’s harder in the interrogation room


Further Back Story: When she killed her ex-boyfriend's new wife, she bit the girl's arm. It took 25 years for DNA testing to evolve enough where the swab they took then could be matched with someone. Had she not bitten the wife when she killed her, she would have gotten away with it forever. Sherry fought hard for her life.
I love how they let Lazarus walk out the door thinking she was free to go before arresting her. They had already stalked her for her DNA before even questioning her. She wasn't going anywhere.
The saddest part is that Sherry's parents told detectives from day ONE who to look at, and it became increasingly obvious that the cops covered it up to protect their own.

@FR Studio  I think it was put on the back burner as a cover up. The parents were ignored about a valid circumstantial suspect, but detectives now would have to process the dna or face a wrath in court.

It’s just like Animal Farm, except all the pigs are Napoleon.

It’s just like Animal Farm, except all the pigs are Napoleon.

reading through this comment thread somehow became more entertaining than the fuckin video. thanks for the background info tho lol, makes things even more intriguing!

Actually they did that so they could discuss whether they were arresting her or not...it wasn't a funny tactic they had to make a decision amongst themselves. Still funny though

"It took 25 years for DNA testing to evolve enough where the swab they took then could be matched with someone"
"The cops were protecting one of their own"
I love how you contradicted your own statements. Which is it? Did they not have the ability to prove she was the killer or were they covering up to protect her? It can't be both lol. Keep in mind, knowing who did it is very different to being able to prove it in court.

@Son Of Salt yeah, I noticed it was a sharp start, like it lacked an intro. youtube has been taking their videos down, so maybe that’s why?

Thanks a lot for giving more info,very enlightening

Thanks a lot for giving more info,very enlightening

In the transcript of this interaction, after they arrest her and she lawyers up after the video ends, they make an inside joke with her not knowing about "a little saliva works wonders" talking about how to get her wedding ring off cause it's stuck on her finger and she needs to take it off before transport.  They even put stars next to it on the transcript, they probably laughed hard about that I'm sure.

@BabayegaHer good acts as a police officer should be taken into consideration. Plus she is not a risk for reoffending. She already killed her love rival and married someone else.

Personally it seems that the judge went too far in this case. House arrest would have been a more reasonable sentence. If she gets out in a few years she should have some good years left.

@Why Oh why, a senior person in the company philosophy (they make soaps, etc.) used "of" in a statement she released about their products. How do these people get those jobs, I wondered.

@Amy Caitlin when English language is strangled by those who ONLY speak one language, you can bet I am insufferable! If people pay attention at school, likes of me would not feel the urge to keep the language alive! I can fully understand those amongst us who are polyglots,  that one of the languages would be weaker! But no excuse whatsoever when in USA! And we wonder why people earn a minimum wage? There’s a reason!

@Melatonin. Affirmative. I would still use the imprint identification for my own investigations here.

@Melatonin. Affirmative. I would still use the imprint identification for my own investigations here.

@Streets of Los Angeles how do you figure 2024? She's sentenced to 27 years to life. With parole eligibility after 27 years. Even if you apply good time credits, she will still either 80 or 85 percent candidate depending on if they have her 1 or 2 strikes. Which means she would still have to still have to serve that much of her time minimum before qualifying for parole.  I think your going by the 50 percent that non violent criminals get but There's NO WAY she is given 50% calculation because of the nature of her crime. I would bet she's at 85 percent in fact. 1 strike for the murder and 1 for the premeditation. Putting her at 85 percent. (which at best week drop to 78 percent if are has zero write ups on her parole date). Plus most killers are not given parole on their first hearing.

@Why Oh why I see it too, constantly in comments on YouTube. And I am on a campaign to try to point it out, this usage of “of” in place of “have”. It drives me crazy.  I guess our educational system has gone down hill over the years. No one cares about proper grammar!

@belle stafford So pleased others noticing the decline of English language! We were corrected from a very young age with each mistake, whether it related to grammar or spellings! Why would people take offence or umbrage? Surely the teachers and parents never bothered- either for an easier life, or worse, they didn’t know the difference. Unfortunately, you witness in later life that chances of promotion diminish when an employer has a candidate who ‘speaks and understands’ English! I may be a dying breed 😫

Was it ever established how she knew that Sherrie would be at home by herself that day? That's the part that seems odd to me.  It was a work day after all and Stephanie could not have known that Sherrie had decided  last minute not to go in. Was Stephenie just driving past the house    in one of her stalking moments and decided to pay a visit in case she got  lucky? If anyone knows please share.

Sounds like they do it to many people togather and only arrest the ones who get exposed by going too far to be covered up.

I don't think they covered up a murder because it was an officer, I think they refused to look into it believing it was absurd because it was one of them. Remember, the victim was the wife of another officer too so it was all in the family, so to speak.

@Marek Jurko although I have no doubt that Californian Police departments would protect criminals (just look at the sorry state of San Francisco), personally I’m not convinced. There are mountains of documentaries that have remained exactly the same length and stayed on platforms, from the more “official” stuff to what even smaller simple content creators can make.

Plus, Jim didn’t touch that subject (of people at LAPD possibly covering for Lazarus) in any way, so I don’t see how it could be relevant.
Surely I’m sad that I have even less content now.

@Ami Murri Thank about all the people dreading it right now.

And they had the meeting at the jail so gun would be secured in a locker.

@Adolfo Lerito It may be that state keeps covering for people who protected Lazarus. We may get away with more in comment sections, but state of California put considerable resources into winning two trials that followed conviction of S. L. - one acussation coming from the victims parents, one from an officer that was persecuted by superiors for pursuing the Lazarus angle in the investigation. Thus, now saying the truth is officially libel against LAPD.

Before Jim’s video was twice as long and said all of those things, yet somehow he cut it up and left just 25 minutes of what before was 52 minutes or so.

There used to be an intro to this that explained that, i dont know why it was removed tho.

@Ami Murri true.  She had to have been.  “Did I leave any DNA at the crime scene?” Is probably what she was asking herself for years on end

Her eyes can pierce walls.  I think she was “telling the truth” in her mind because she thought she got away with it.  I love that her appeals were denied (DNA degradation).  She even looks like a sociopath


She killed that girl to be with her husband, and now they're not together and don't even talk. Poor girl was murdered for literally nothing.

@Talsedoom and the root of the issue a man

@Natey McBatey lol you are trying to make it into something..weird

For nothing? Is there a GOOD reason for murdering someone?

@JM she probably realize what she did after she did it and didn't want to leave any suspicion so waited to talk to him

@G Sin keep your politics to yourself. 90% of the police officers I interact with are very nice people. I interact with multiple police officers everyday.

@Zamerus Yes, she did. I am 100% sure that he knew, or at least suspected that she killed his wife and said nothing and still dated her after the murder.

@YoutubeLoser How does that make em a misogynist?

@JM For some reason, I read your comment in the voice of JCS.

would it make you feel better if they were still together

@Rachel Not my point at all. If that was her sole motive for doing it, then them not being together now means even to her it was pointless. Noone here is saying it would be justified if they got together. It's an observation.

@Rachel

It’s just an observation. No one is saying that the murder would’ve been justified if Stephanie and John ended up together. Calm down.

So you and the 945 ppl who liked this comment think her murder would have been justified if they'd ended up together? 😖

@a speedingdrunk  You were implying if the women murdered her and was still with her husband, at least she would have been murdered for something. Thanks misogynist.

@G Sin lmaooo, good for you bro. I guess Indians like this regardless of where ur from lol

Lazarus sounds very much like a narcissist who murdered poor Sherri in a fit of rage because Lady Loopy couldn't handle someone else succeeding where she had failed and where people could see.

Crazy Cop Lady then enjoyed watching John suffer since he rejected her and now he had no one.

She got revenge on both of them and her pride remained intact.

She lost her dignity being thrown out of that hospital and by Sherri flaunting "her" man as Psycho Stephanie saw it, but  with Sherri dead (in the mind of Loony Lazarus) she would never get a chance to humiliate her again.

So many people suffered because she was pissy that a guy chose someone else that it's insane to think this happened.

@a speedingdrunk lol right? Another comment a guy joked he feels sorry for her cell mate "What you in for?" and this lady goes on the long tangent "Gosh, gee, well, the the Declaration of Independence..." lol But a reply was serious, "Well I don't feel sorry for the cell mate" and gives serious reason for why cell mate should not be felt sorry for. Some years ago there was a study on how lesser intelligence cannot detect nuance in language and concepts.

@Priti Singh same here, not a punjabi jatt but a rajasthani jatt.

@Hardeep Singh lmaoooo I’m sure you do!! But ain’t punjabi tho lol I’m from Uttar Pradesh, Varanasi hahahha

It wouldn't have been ok for her to be murdered even if the murderer married the murdered's partner!

@Priti Singh kiddha Singh....us Punjabis love interrogation vids ennit bro!

Wait wait wait she dated him after she killed her!??

@JM hi I isagree.  She dated him while he was engaged to her then again after she was killed.  However, as a sociopath she at some point lost interest in him when he wasn't fitting into what she wanted after the murder but not before

After the murder she waited a long time to make contact with John. That isn't typical of an obsession type murder. Seemed to be more ego driven. More like she was mad at losing a man to Sherri more than a desire of getting John back into her life forever


Stephanie: “I’ve been doing this a long time. I know how this stuff works.”

Also Stephanie: Talks for over an hour without a lawyer.

@Доктор Зойдберг But the bite mark was done after the killing. there is escape for her.<br>Edit: there is no escape for her

Edit: there is no escape for her

@•KaisTzar •  she freaked out and just tried covering her tracks.

@•KaisTzar •  not true at all. She knew it from the begining they had her dna

She bit her after she stopped breathing. The examiner said there was a lack of bruising.

I mean, I can kind of understand why she kept beating... to make sure she was dead and couldn't testify, but the biting was just psycho.

She didn't know she was being filmed, she thought she could blag it, act like she had no idea what they were doing and skip town the moment she left the room.

@Доктор Зойдберг the bite was after she died, the autopsy confirmed that. That defence isnt possible

@Serg Iv I'm sure ones dna at the crime scene in this case was enough.. she was not suppose to be in the house

@Serg Iv they would have let her leave.. and soon after she would have been brought in for straight up interrogation.. they had DNA it was over no matter what she couldn't get out.

It pretty much doesn't matter.. she's done  being a police officer she figured she would get away with it.. so she gave it a shot started with a light conversation and slowly put the boa constrictor squeeze on her she... could not get out.

@Serg Iv They had the DNA evidence. She was not going anywhere and was going to get arrested no matter what.

P.S. She didn’t know what evidence they had on her, but she’s a detective herself and should calculate the possibilities: new DNA, a witness who saw her leaving the apartment etc, what else could have been uncovered after such a long time? What I mean is that going on for an hour about how she didn’t have any relations with the victim is just stupid, almost any witness testament would prove you’re lying. Admitting you didn’t like the victim wouldn’t get you in jail after 20 years if all other evidence is circumstantial anyway.<br>Honestly, if I were her I’d play all these scenarios in my head (like the police finding this or that) long before this conversation would take place.

Доктор Зойдберг

Here’s a story that would explain the DNA evidence she could have used. She had a fight with Sherri and even bit her but then Sherri was killed so Stephanie was obviously afraid that the murder would be blamed on her so she had to lay low.
In this scenario, she’s innocent but would be well within her right to stop talking, demand to know if she’s a suspect and call a lawyer.

In many interrogation videos suspects are so focused on looking bubbly (like Lazarus here) that they end up presenting themselves as psychopaths, thus they miss their only chance of salvation. Doesn’t matter if you’re guilty or innocent, if police considers you a suspect, you have no business helping them in any way.
If I were her and able to get my shit together (which is admittedly difficult in her situation), I’d act outraged that they dare suspect me and then ask for a lawyer. Even if after that they’re more convinced I did it, talking to them for an hour and pretending not to know what this is about would be much worse for me.

Доктор Зойдберг

@Rykehuss My point is with the knowledge she had, and the situation she was in, she should've said she didn't want to talk and leave.  Getting a lawyer if under arrest is not necesarily suspicous, especially if it's a cop who knows the system, but getting a lawyer after a non mandatory talk would be.

@Serg Iv Thats literally what happened in the video. The DNA match was enough cause for the arrest

@Rykehuss Right, but at that moment with no knowledge that she was going to be under arrest she should've just left, and then when they arrested her she should've asked for a lawyer at that time.  There is also a possibility that her testimony gave them probable cause to arrest her, unless the DNA was cause enough.

@Serg Iv They arrested her when she left in case you didnt watch til the end

@•KaisTzar •  She wouldnt necesarily need a lawyer.  She could've just left, she wasnt under arrest.


They could be like “How old are you”
and she’d be like “gosh  *leans backwards and widens eyes* gee it’s been ages since my last birthday, am i 12 am i 68? maybe? it was so long ago i mean *sigh* i don’t know what to tell you…”

"Like jeez...I think maybe there was a flyer for my birthday party in the station or something."

And list how old her parents are, her siblings are, and her friends. Anyone but herself

God that comment had me waking people up in my house because I’m sat up at 3am watching crime videos 😂😂😂

The sad thing is as I get older, I actually do have to think about what my age is when someone asks.

IM CACKLING BYE I READ THIS IN HER VOICE

I was reading this comment while the video played and I shit you not, she said "I don't know what to tell you" the moment I was reading those words lol

Exactly 😆 🤣... this women can't remember shit... supposedly

This is a really top tier comment like dang bro

Gee I don't know, gosh it was so long ago since my last birthday I can't even tell you! Let's see I was 26 back in 1986 when I killed that gir-

Well you know i was born in, uh gee, what? It was so long ago i can’t remember, gee, 60? And i was what 10 in 70 ya know, gee i dont know, what does that make me now? Gee i dont know, uh, i could be in my 50s 40s yyou can’t really tell ya kno

Gee, oh gosh, I'm 26? Gee, oh gosh, gee, I could be, geez, its been so long, I'm 14 geez, its been so long gosh, I'm 25? Oh geez, no I'm 26, yeah gosh, yeah 26.<br>Lmao

Gee, oh gosh, I'm 26? Gee, oh gosh, gee, I could be, geez, its been so long, I'm 14 geez, its been so long gosh, I'm 25? Oh geez, no I'm 26, yeah gosh, yeah 26.
Lmao


Would it be at all possible to be able to watch this video with proper captions?


The beginning of this video was cut, and maybe more. God dammit YouTube, just put an age restriction on it and let us watch our video. We’re all adults here ffs


I guess the Lazarus drinking game would involve taking a shot every time she slaps her forearm down on the table. Or whenever she says Gosh or Gee.


“How long did you date?”

“I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time”.


If she was innocent, I'd still hate her personality and her expressions, but the fact that she's guilty makes it even more disgusting.

If she had been innocent, you wouldn't have seen that side of her personality, she would have acted normally. It was the internal horror of knowing what she had done and the fact that she was about to be found out that made her act in such an unnatural manner. In other words, people who are 'trying to act normal' always look suspicious.

@Dáithí Mac You had me cracking up longer than id like to admit

@Ses Pez  narcissists arent born narcissists from what I know something traumatic makes them become that way. if she was a psycho well then yes she was born that way

the stress of killing someone probably blew some circuits in her brain. made her that way

@kent davis ...oh come on kent!!   It was one time!!   ONE TIME!!  I'll never put mayonnaise on my burger again!!!   Can't we be mates....... I'm better now!!

*staring through window covered in mayonnaise*

Right?! Those facial expressions are creepy AF! Even if she'd never murdered anyone, if I had to share a workplace with her I'd be giving her a very wide berth. Jayzus.

@John I had a friend exactly like you describe and the way this woman is, getting away from him was hard. He was a narcissist, manipulative, abusive.

I knew a woman who did those faces, she was a borderline narcissist by diagnosis. I got away in time.


When they told her she can leave she should have left.


liars no matter what they lie about to me seem that they are all Godless and heartless!


Drinking game! Take a shot every time she says how long ago it was and rest in peace


The last 16 seconds of this video took me out!! 💀💀🤣🤣🤣

@Juanita Richards I agree.  Also you have to be a narcissist or sociopath to do what she did.  They also think they can talk their way out of it.  It might work like in the case your talking about at work, or not, like in this case where they had the dna evidence already and knew she was guilty.  I would say if you're committing a premeditated murder you are  in the cluster B of personality disorders.  These people have no empathy or shame.

@martyn spooner To be fair, even most art critics wouldn't know art if they tripped over it, lol. Most modern art just exists as a way for the wealthy to launder money. They've even tested the knowledge of modern art critics by giving them paintings made by a monkey - while telling them that the art was made by a much-lauded artist. To nobody's surprise, most of the critics praised the artwork and the talent of the "up-and-coming artist".

@fury exactly my thoughts, you can tell she's hyper and completely annoying to work with. She's got that unhinged look about her. They say don't judge a book by its cover, but she screams bunny boiler a million miles off!

Sm0ker Not really, she was highly regarded, had taught classes in academy, served in internal affairs, and gained a small amount of celebrity in her unit.

Yeah I wonder how much actual art crime lol

Yeah I wonder how much actual art crime lol

Yeah definitely, but it seems like a fairly high rank if you're a detective investigating theft given the value of some art. Still, sounds like a dead end position for sure.

To any of the “butt hurt” at the original comment. Get a sense of humor jeezzzz...first off Karl never put down her position directly, nor did he claim it doesn’t exist....it was just a funny observation in  juxtaposition to the obviously bumbling CRIMINAL COP. The fact that it was some obscure position in the dept. that he hadn’t heard of maybe in his own communities’ police dept. AND the fact that this woman is a better facial actor than a Jim Henson  muppet and Jim Carrey combined, yeah it kinda marries each other humorously.

That and there actually is a huge art scene in LA also I wonder if graffiti related crimes fall under her jurisdiction.

@Ca Sera sera They don't need to justify their positions when they deal with art heists worth millions of bucks.  There are are collectors out there who pay big bucks for art stolen to order.  These aren't items you can take to a pawn shop..........

@Stu Pidazzo Priceless objects have been stolen from museums and art galleries while under heavy guard......some art thieves are geniuses.

@Juanita Richards ironically it usually is a promotion to get them out the way! Eventually they come unstuck because somebody higher up decides to take them out of the department and put them back on the front line with the  added seniority, and they melt like ice-cream in a heatwave!

@Juanita Richards oh OK. Yeah totally, or Mission Impossible-type repelling down from the ceiling while undetected art thefts lol

@Stu Pidazzo But many on here aren't getting that........their idea of art is velvet tiger wall hangings......

@Juanita Richards which is why I implied the fact there is a department created for that reason only highlights it's importance and necessity...?

Some of the comments on here are really salty. Seems like it's struck a chord with the 'keep em out of the way' brigade! I worked with a fair few people like this, left to rot in departments cos they literally can't cope with the cut thrust of the job but they haven't got enough on them to get rid! 😂😂😂

It sounds like such an obscure type of crime to specialize in but don't doubt it's importance if they have a whole department of detectives dedicated to that shit lol

@fury She was deflecting. Guilty suspects often talk too much to distract and confuse interrogators. A typical narcissists "word salad".  I've seen it many times, once with a receptionist where I worked after the place was robbed of the last 3 days takings.  Only 2 people had access to the cash box. The receptionist on being questioned kept going on and on about how the towels were folded wrong (the cash box was hidden inside them) and how she would never fold the towels that way, and she kept going on about peripheral events, not the robbery itself. I knew then she was guilty but the wrong person was fired and the receptionist got away with it.

@Tom The LA Art market is among the largest in the world and it's adjacent to and interconnected with the sleeze back shit show we call Hollywood.  I would imagine she stayed busy on that beat.

Why didn't she immediately leave when offered? Twice? Somebody?


It's crazy how she looks like the lead singer of Journey 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Is there a part 1 to this, or content cut from it or something? It seems to abruptly start mid-scene?!

The channel has been attacked by the algorithm recently for references of violence, and the intro to the video thoroughly outlined the very gruesome details of her case. This re-edit is likely due to that so the video can remain up in some form.

There was an into describing the crime and the reason is was being looked into before. No idea why it’s been cut.


Did you guys catch that blink and you'll miss it phrase "gosh, I don't know... it was a million years ago". You have to really pay attention to catch it.


I would be so bad in that position. I started breathing hard just watching the video. Lol


Gosh I can not realise whether  any guilty people were lying 🙈 is there anything wrong with me


funny how her name is lazarus (back from the dead) and this case was back from the dead as well


Woah that last clip of Stephanie gave off serious Charles Manson vibes


"Welcome to McDonald's drive through, can I take your order?"<br>"Oh gee... well it all began back in 1963..."

I don't agree with you narrator!
For the first 10 mins, I thought she did well.
If you are to be asked what happens 20 years I'd have same reaction.


So good she got done, so shit it took so long to put her behind bars


Honestly kinda messed up they pinned this on her, it was a million years ago.

@CriminalScum _ not to mention the brachiosaurus…they got away with EVERYTHING

I agree its pretty messed up that they targeted her, while Tyrannosaur did whatever they wanted and got away with it.

And during the Jurassic era. How could they do this to her???


Even police shouldn't talk to police. 😂😂🤣🤣
