@Minerva Minavera No, being a lesbian wasn't taboo back then, and nobody was really talking about women with regard to HIV/AIDS. Everyone was talking about men, which is why you ignored my "lesbian" argument and pivoted to "men".

@rachybaby72 it def was taboo back then. HIV/AIDS was prevalent and wlw took care of the men bc they were taboo with the virus.ppl thought it could get passed in every possible way

@Jonathan Huerta Lol I understand what you are saying. The truth is we all have sociopathic tendencies. Some people just won't admit it and call me crazy.🤣

@the sane party damn she had 20 years and a YouTube commenter came up with a better story

@rachybaby72 That is what a human being would think. A psychopath is too full of itself to actually create any alibi after so much time.

@rachybaby72 sorry for responding to a monnnths old comment but do you know if there was a common idea about DNA testing before it was actually tested and proven to work? it’s interesting to think about detectives transition from going “there’s nothing to do with this blood”>>“it’d be crazy if there was a way to test this blood”>>“I heard there’s going to be a way to identify blood”

That's probably why she DIDNT have a story. She didnt expect to be interrogated 25 years later

@SEBAS_andshrimp yes, she had an enjoyable free 20 plus years after doing a violent murder, so she did get something she certainly shouldn't have

@Karen Skinner I’m glad they reopened this one and gave the family the peace of mind they deserved 26 years ago!

@Karen Skinner I’m glad they reopened this one and gave the family the peace of mind they deserved 26 years ago!

@SEBAS_andshrimp i agree. It was finished , swept under carpet. The only thing that could have gone wrong, reinvestigating it, happened. And to be honest, with lots of crimes happened & happening, she knew she had a fair chance of never paying for what she did

She never thought she’d be sitting in one of these rooms talking about it.

She never thought she’d be sitting in one of these rooms talking about it.

By this time there's no way she would have had any thoughts that it would come back on her. So she wouldn't have spent time and effort year after year checking she had stories sorted just in case. It was over. Done. She had got away with it.

@Z Sociopaths are generally more impulsive, while psychopaths tend to plan better.

@A-Frame-Wedge oh, I didn't know that. I was just saying that in general they wouldn't throw away evidence in a cold case, but I didn't know they where saying that Stephanie herself destroyed it.

@Pink. Lemonade If you read the book Lazarus Files you will find out so much of the evidence went missing, Stephanie Lazarus worked at the precinct that held the evidence and it is assumed she was the one who stole the evidence.

@A-Frame-Wedge they don't get rid of evidence, even in cold cases. They keep it, they just give up inspecting it and move on to other cases.

@Jenny Àldrich mans really said she doesn't lie 💀

@Jenny Àldrich mans really said she doesn't lie 💀

She didn't come up with a story. She thought she already got away with it. Also, the can't remember thing is a strategy in and of itself.

I feel like she probably practiced what she would say if she got questioned a lot back then

@Lion Heart pigs are smart loving compassionate animals. Let’s not use animal in a matter of speech to describe lowly human traits. Thx

@the sane party agree, her talking to these cops is what put her away. The DNA could have been explained by a good attorney.  They had no proof she killed her.

She also had 25 years to forget about it

Debbie Young Understood. I guess they SEEM more intelligent bc of their hyper-focus & fixation. Anyone who is super focused on something tends to know much about it. Thx for the distinction.

I had to look up what Hubris ment and yea hella hubris.

@the sane party You know, that story sounds compelling except ONE MAJOR PROBLEM! The bite marks, as mentioned in the video, was POST MORTEM! It's easy to forensics to tell if an injury was post-mortem! She was really dumb to have done that! 🤣It's REALLY DIFFICULT for her to explain the bite marks if her DNA was found on it!

Thing is, she's not expecting the case to resurface after all those years! She's not prepared and that's absolutely the detectives' intention: to take her by surprise and see what they can get!

The fact that she should have been a suspect back when it happened and wasn't just because she's a cop, she probably didn't think she ever would have been brought up on charges at all.

@Z This is a myth that's been around way too long. Psychopaths aren't really any more intelligent than 'normal' people walking around. (Neither are sociopaths.) They are convincing about it but that's part of their manipulation. Check it out on google if you want.

My comment was about her best lie. The bite is just expert against expert. You can buy the opinion you want from the marketplace. All she needed was reasonable doubt, and the political correctness of Cali politics takes care of the rest. She would have walked, then moved on to talk-show gold.

@the sane party they knew the bite came AFTER she was dead

I think she knew there was evidence against her in 1986 they could have followed up but chose not to, so she assumed she was going to be protected forever

After 5 years she probably thought no way in hell she’d get caught lmaoo

Reminded me of Oscar Pretorius giving evidence at his trial.

Reminded me of Oscar Pretorius giving evidence at his trial.

The Breakfast Clubber true. But being in law enforcement she should try to prepare for a possible cold case opening back up.... especially with DNA becoming a thing.

@mandarina blue As a cop, and knowing that DNA testing wasn't available in 1986, she should've realized that evidence would've been preserved and was sitting somewhere to possibly come back and bite her someday (no pun intended). She should've had some kind of alibi ready just in case...or tried to, somehow, tamper with the evidence...

Welp tbh she thought she wouldn't be caught. I mean she might've had a story years ago just in case  but she probs forgot it

Not really,  All lies are hubris.  Its  just tjat some are more some are just more eloquent.  You can put all the lipstick on a pig you want, its still a pig.

I'm still watching this but is she in prison now?  There is never a good reason to kill anyone. And I can't stand liars this lady is crazy.

@the sane party and you never killed anyone ? Lol

@the sane party and you never killed anyone ? Lol

She didn't  think she had to have a story since she thought she got rid of all the evidence in the LAPD's evidence rooms, but the DNA swab test was filed away in a place she did not know, so she was unable to steal it.

Her best lie would have been that she and Sherri developed a lesbian relationship after they met at the hospital and agreed to meet to talk about John. Then admit they met the murder morning where she gave her the playful bite as they'd agreed to tell John that evening about the situation. After she left, then the two Mexicans come in and commit the murder. Of course she had to lie, because alternative lifestyles were taboo at that time, etc.  In Cali- she had a good chance of walking with that story.

after 20 years she probably thought she got away with it

after 20 years she probably thought she got away with it

probably over complacent, she thought she got away

probably over complacent, she thought she got away

I know she says it in the video but oh gosh it was like a million years ago? What was I doing a million years ago... probably a primordial slime oozing out of a sea sponge? Couldn't really tell you...


Really surprised ol John had the nerve to talk considering he was basically the reason all this happened. He could have prevented it all.

Also, her faces at 25:00 are pure nightmare fuel. That was actual insanity showing itself. No normal person would make those faces in that situation.

Did you just blame someone for the murderous actions of another, because they were cheated on??? You do know that there are strong independent women out there who get cheated on, lick their wounds and then move on with their lives, right? And they don't even have to murder their rival to do so. Sorry, but that was a dumb comment.

At that moment, I feel like she's reliving the murder.  Creepy af.

True! Her facial expressions are creepy!

I come back to this video every so often just to click forward and see that lol It's soooo weird and creepy🤣


She’s acting confused with those evil eyes.This should be investigated when the woman was killed , but am sure there was cover up to protect this evil woman.


She went on the offensive to throw the objective back on the interviewers. At that moment she was very comfortable to be manipulative. What she hid was very clearly noticed by her facial expressions. Lack of empathy or reflective of any feelings she may have had once she recalled it


Just by her facial expressions you can tell she's trouble. Look at the number of times she blinks. Reminds me of another famous actor who was in a defamation case.


You know, she says, “you know?” an awful lot. I’m starting to think I do know. Everything. I now know everything.

You know, she says, “you know?” an *awful* lot. I’m starting to think I *do* know. Everything. I now know everything.

She said you know while I was reading your comment LOL

Imagine the detectives tell her that, I would have loved to see her reaction, facial expression wise too 😂

Read this and she immediately said it 3x

ya know 🤷♀😧🥴🤷♀

ya know 🤷♀😧🥴🤷♀

hahaha right! However, I'm thinking "No, I do not know anything, please explain"

I shouldn't have read this comment before watching 😅

a drinking game based on how many times she said this would kill us

take a shot everytime someone says "you know" or "i mean" :D

Yeah?<br>How many fingers i'm holding on my hand?

Yeah?
How many fingers i'm holding on my hand?

I know you know. I know. I get it. I get the concept.

@Its Emby I was born in Ucraina and have been living in Italy for more than 15 years, my English isn't perfect but as someone that have been studying it for years, it's difficult to me to understand how her one seems to be so limited. But I guess it is mostly due to the stress factor as she didn't expected to be interrogated at that moment and she was careful about things that she was saying. So this video is still a great example of human reaction.

I wish I didnt read this comment cause now Im noticing them even more. She is fucking g r a t i n g. How do investigators have the patience for this shit.

@Yaos You know, well I mean, you know, I mean, I think so you know.

@YearWalker well, y'know it's like that y'know

Sooo....please tell me about everything..


The fact that she “has been doing this a long long time” and couldnt suppress her guilty behavior; or stop the discussion all together, and ask for a lawyer shows me the bar set to hire police seems too low…


Wouldn't an innocent person just say, "I have nothing to do with it. If you consider me a suspect then I will speak with a lawyer". I think Stephanie thought she could talk her way out of it which was a huge mistake.

Maybe not innocent. But a smart person would say that.

agree, I definitely feel like she thought she'd get special treatment bc "I'm a cop, these other cops are my buddies, this is just a formality, it's been 25 years there's no way I'll stop getting away with it now!!!" I think she was also trying to build up some rapport with the cops she was talking to and that's part of the reason she was rambling so much, almost like oh we're just chatting about other things like my vacation (Hawaii I think she said?) and the stuff about Sherri is just interspersed here n there. this is obviously just speculation on my part but I also kind of wonder if maybe she'd seen some things covered up by cops for another cop and thought she might get the same favor

"Maybe if I use every single facial expression known to man, I can convince them that I'm baffled by this incident."


Just found this channel .im so late the breakdowns are next level very detailed and put together So well.  I can see much time was put into this. I will watch all these . hoping for some more soon. Well done


I love learning how interviews are set out and how they work, it's so interesting to me, watching how she reacts👏👏👏👏


I honestly feel so bad for the father. He knew right away who killed his daughter, but had to wait 23 years for the police to even give attention to his lead.

It was mentioned that the police did what they could, if they cannot find evidence, they cannot convict someone even if the family of the victim will accuse someone.

@Powell Denise oh good, thank you!  I’m glad they at least got that.  😔

@Kathleen St.Denis Yes her parents were alive. They were there every day in the court room and Sheri‘s mother actually spoke before Stephanie sentencing. I am so glad they lived to see justice. I can only imagine their pain for 23 years.

They protect their own, until they don't I guess.

@Casey Aulbach To start off pronoe was being pedantic by pointing out this video is a counterexample. Anybody would've reasonably interpreted your comment as "The boys in blue [almost] always have each other's backs".

But pronoe didn't commit a logical fallacy in their first comment. We can write your comments more formally:

(1) you:
"The boys in blue always have each other's backs"
for all crimes committed by a policeman, police don't investigate the criminal
(2) pronoe:
"Yes as demonstrated by this one hour video"
there exists a crime committed by a policeman, where police investigated the criminal
(3) you:
"It is intellectually dishonest to refer to one YouTube video as evidence that the police don't ever turn blind eyes to crimes committed by their brethren."
[there exists a crime committed by a policeman where police investigated the criminal] does not imply that [for all crimes committed by a policeman, police investigate the criminal]

(2) is true as in the video, and it is the negation of (1). Sorry, you went off the rails with (3)—pronoe didn't make any such statement in the comment where (2) came from.

@pronoe Exactly, they ruled out the possibility without due process, because she was a police officer.

@Miles The husband of Sherri also told the police it couldn't be her. She didn't get a pass because she was police per se but because they couldn't believe a police officer would do something like this.

@pronoe I mean you've just said why it's relevant, because they didn't take the father's concerns seriously as it related to a police officer

I'm just glad that she didn't harm the parents ....

@Casey Aulbach that's why I partly distrust Police

@Casey Aulbach I'm cherry-picking this video because you're the one commenting on it about how boys in clue protect each other. And DNA had definitely something to do as explained at the beginning of this video. And the husband of Sherri at the time, John, told police it's not Lazarus. Did the police was biased and didn't think Lazarus could possibly be a suspect because she was a cop? Sure. Did it protect her once they learned the truth? Absolutely not. Do police officer officer protect each other? to some extent yeah. Was this the right video to make the comment you did? I don't think so...

@Casey Aulbach Yes as demonstrated by this one hour video of boys in blue grilling another boy (I mean girl but whatever) in blue... While the pass she got 23 years ago is disgusting I agree, it probably wouldn't have happened if DNA was a thing back then.

@Kathleen St.Denis oh oh oh, I just realized that’s it’s quite likely they had passed by the conviction, seeing as Rutton was quite old in the clip of him from the sentencing hearing, this is actually sad wtf

Makes sense, sadly. The boys in blue always have each other's backs.

I know, so awful.  Were her parents still alive when Stephanie got arrested?  I HOPE so.  (This is the first I am hearing of this case so I don’t know).


It’s so crazy how the more pressure is added, her facial expressions become more exaggerated. She looks scary at some moments


I've heard that the victim's husband, John Rasmussen, was sleeping with Stephanie while married to Sherri. He can't be blamed for her death, but sleeping with Stephanie only gave her hope that he would be with her if it weren't for his wife.

@Anna not when they were married...one time before they got married and a little after...one time

@Robbie No, it was when Sherri was still alive. And after.

Not true. .was after...not the best situation


Imagine what it must have been like to have been interrogated or investigated by HER.  Those encounters must have been dystopian experiences like something right out of the Gulag Archipelago.


“We had a fight so I went & killed her? That’s crazy” Yes it is CRAZY Stephanie, you’re crazy!


the faces she made were so exaggerated i was genuinely embarrassed god she's infuriating

@C C NO FAUSE LITERALLY WHAT WAS THATTTTT IM DYING OMG HAAHAHAHAHAH

@UpdateDotExe Ladies and gentlemen, I give you one of the poor individuals who got the short stick in the IQ allocation programme.

@-Lunat1c- I'm curious as to why you'd ask this. I've seen their other comments as well, I would just like to know how their comments relate to this women in you're mind.

You'd think so, however put in a similar situation, you're body language would be screaming as well. Even if people can control their "faces" there are many of things your body does without your knowledge when you're happy, sad, scared, lying and so on. Its very very entertaining actually. In my profession, I've learned so many different little tics the normal human body makes in the most bizarre scenarios.

Her nonverbal responses are all over the place too. Watch her blink rate when she responds. Same with the nodding of the head.

@UpdateDotExe Einstein over here with godly advice.

She looks like me when get asked about something that i broke.

Yes it is cringy, until i got to 37:17 i got kinda scared

@UpdateDotExe Judging by your other comments under this video - do you identify  with her in some way? Cuz you sound pretty defensive really.

I was too! It was so cringe that WE  feel  embarrassed ...and I don't understand why lol! So difficult to watch.


When he asks her if she visited him at all, and she starts to think carefully, all he does is throw out an example, and this lady really tries to think back about his example


The victim statements are always so impactful. I hope John Rutten doesn’t blame himself for the murder of his wife. @ 24:20 (-ish) really brings me to tears.


One of the creepiest things is the look of pride on her face after she says "idk why. That's just crazy. That's just absolutely CRAZY" 20:20


It’s the cadence of the voice, astute behavioral analysis, and the storytelling prowess for me.👍


I think her saying "it's so long ago" and "gosh, it's 2009!" is her subconscious way of internally screaming at herself, like "How in the FUCK is this coming back on me so far down the line? I was safe!"

Pro tip then If u committed a crime before good dna evidence hope it has a statute of limitations

Yup. N the sense of betrayal is going to come pretty soon, I haven't gotten to the end LOL but I imagine she's not going to be happy with the two cops,  good thing they have backup behind the steel doors LOL because this lady looks like she could take out a couple football players

@Aaron Walters I mean, most crimes still aren't solved even despite DNA analysis. If the crime isn't tied to you via people that know you chances are you can still get away with it scott-free.

Except that bite mark then<br>.......GOTCHA MOMENT😊

Except that bite mark then
.......GOTCHA MOMENT😊

She knew what it was. The dna. Shes a cop. She knew

@Aaron Walters Thats part of having a conscience

@Aaron Walters that'd be terrifying, I would never be able to sleep

I can't put myself in her mind, but for me if I committed a crime this serious I never would never stop worrying that it would come back to haunt me. How can anyone watch Cold Case Files or any True Crime Doc and not just know deep down that eventually it'll catch up? Hell, they even got the East Area Rapist after all these years. Anyone who committed a crime pre-DNA must be shitting themselves daily while they watch decades-old cases get solved.


Something that I noticed about Stephanie is she often looks at the detective like "was that the right answer" or looking for some sort of confirmation, like she's telepathically asking them "did I do okay?" It's pretty hilarious


She is definitely re-living the murder in her mind during the final segment


My word, she looks and sounds <i>EXACTLY</i> how I did when my mom would ask me if I did something bad. I'm kind of freaked out. At least I never committed a murder and I have to lie about it lol

My word, she looks and sounds _EXACTLY_ how I did when my mom would ask me if I did something bad. I'm kind of freaked out. At least I never committed a murder and I have to lie about it lol


Imagine being a kid in dare getting lectured about using drugs by a lady who murdered another lady over a guy, and then went on to marry a different guy


She's clearly already forgotten the alibi/backstory that she planned if she were ever caught.

Ahhh…. Very weird the way the law works - that casual interviews are admissible even when done in an interrogation room!    She directly asks if she is a suspect and they don’t really answer the question.    They say she’s there of her own free will - so maybe that’s why?

I too was wondering  if it was admissible ! (without reading Miranda rights).   Maybe it was a training exercise

@khatool It’s pretty common practice to do an interrogation whether they have a mountain of evidence or not. If they can squeeze out a confession, it helps a LOT. Either way, it’s easier to put together what happened when you have a conversation with the suspect before they know that you they’re guilty.

I mean how could she remember man that was like a million years ago

thats because she came up with it a million years ago

What do you expect? It was like a million years ago

What do you expect? It was like a million years ago

They did at 47:06 as soon as they arrested her. I'm sure the interrogation was to gather evidence and catch her in lies

@antjobert They did it because it creates a story and facts that can be used for court. Anything she says gives information to the cops and lawyers that can be used for many different purposes. An example would be the suspect could be caught in a lie and then the video of the interrogation is used to show that she lied. The main job of interrogations are information gathering. The second objective is a confession.

@khatool about the last part, i could imagine that, in case of prosecuting police officers, you can argue that they dont need to be read the Miranda rights bc they know em. Also the video states that the footage was submitted as surveillance not interrogation footage.

@khatool I think it feels different because it’s in an interrogation room, but keep in mind it’s their common place of work. The police have body cams recording their conversations, they put wires on informants and feed them questions, etc. I’m pretty sure Miranda rights don’t need to be read until someone is under arrest. Up until that point, they are free to leave. This is clearly a voluntary discussion, she’s willingly “helping” them.

@khatool Yes, it was admissible: Go to 3:45 in the video for explanation

@Hayden Gomez consider the DNA evidence in the OJ case. The defense took the race card and put Furman the detective on trial, add a tight bloody dried glove fitting appointment gone bad, and OJ's overwhelming DNA evidence did not matter.

Considering how sloppy she was she may not have ever had one.

@Hayden Gomez I haven’t fact checked this but I remember hearing a story about how the cops thought that they had a serial killer but it turned out that the swabs were contaminated with a factory workers DNA

But that could all be false so take it with a grain of salt

@HeadLikeOrange I assume that you could fight the validity of the DNA evidence but in <br>Conjunction with a confession is pretty damning

@HeadLikeOrange I assume that you could fight the validity of the DNA evidence but in
Conjunction with a confession is pretty damning

If caught at the time she would have immediately denied even knowing John was married. Now she thinks it would make her seem guilty to lie about this. Completely all over the place in terms of strategy

@khatool I mean, they could try to do this to others, but no criminal is going to have a casual conversation with the police. Which is why when they look for a confession, they usually wire someone close to the person or someone that the culprit may confess to (there are cases where you can watch this if you just google). So they do use hidden cameras, just normally not themselves.

The police can go anywhere with a hidden camera and expect a confession, but almost no criminal would talk to a cop, she just did cause they lied to her about what they wanted to talk about in the first place, and then she was dumb enough to answer questions about the homicide she committed.

So yes, like any other hidden camera, or voice recorded confession, this video was admissible in court.

@khatool I'm a CJ student, and my coursework has made it abundantly clear here that the law is context sensitive--the necessary steps are considered, taken, and evaluated on a case by case basis. Since the individual here was a police veteran, the circumstances are different from those presented in a "standard" cold-case murder. At the end of the day, what is and isn't admitted as evidence is largely at the discretion of the judge.

@khatool And like I said, it depends on the case. In this case, since she's a police worker who understands the way police tactics work, they had to resort to a different technique. But they already had evidence against her, so this was basically getting more than what was necessary.
I can't claim to be a lawyer or understand how this works for each state. But I would guess that this is a very rare thing that doesn't happen a lot, and would therefore only be used in situations where it is necessary due to the low chance of success with a standard police interrogation.
I'm sure different states have different laws regarding this, but overall this isn't a violation of rights: you have the right to stay silent when engaging with the authorities, and if you freely admit to a crime, then even if it isn't recorded those people can be witnesses to the act of admittance, and can testify against you.
Besides, it's no different to talking about it in public and a random surveillance camera happens to record you.
Also, you wouldn't casually admit to doing something you didn't do to a random person, so this would only apply if guilt is guaranteed and they just need a verbal confirmation from the suspect to solidify the charges beyond current evidence.

@Open Thinker THat still doesn't answer my question though. I'm talking from a legal point of view. You can't go into a courtroom like "Oh I knew they did it so I decided to forgo the standard legalities and be a maverick about it!"

@khatool Miranda Rights apply regardless to whatever situation with the police, and the Right to Silence is exactly the same. Also, police cannot refuse you a lawyer at all, especially if you have a private lawyer, since it is your right. <br>Besides, if you engage in a conversation about a crime you commit, then if you admit it then you are confirming your guilt. They'd only do this if they know the person is guilty and need to draw out a verbal confirmation about it. It's not like you'd casually admit to a crime you didn't do anyway in a conversation with the cops.

@Open Thinker I get why they did it from THEIR perspective. I'm talking legally. Like, surely the law is exactly the same for everybody? Otherwise, what stops a cop from arresting one of us and going "Oh they watched a lot of JCS videos they know to just get a lawyer so we're going to just hidden camera them and say it's technically not an interrogation!

@khatool Well, because it's a unique case. In this one, since the suspect is employed in the police force, she knows how to avert questions in a police interrogation, due to the Miranda Rights (Right to silence, etc). Thus, in order to get her to admit to it, they have to do so through another method. Hence, the "Surveillance camera" instead of "Interrogation camera". <br>Most cases, interrogation more than enough. But when the suspect knows how to play that game, then the officers need to resort to a different means of proving the truth.

@Open Thinker Yeah I got that, but then why can't the police just hidden camera everyone and go "Oh that? That was just a casual conversation!"

@khatool Because this wasn’t officially an “interrogation”. It was submitted as a surveillance video instead, as this was framed as a casual conversation rather than an official police interrogation. Hence why this was admissible in court. This was explained in the video.

@khatool actually the detectives for that case were chosen for the lack of personal connections to Lazarus. They were afraid something would sicker through to her (during preparations etc.)

@khatool I learned in a criminal law class that DNA isn't as damning as most people would think, and that it still is a bit of a flawed system. I don't want to talk too much about something I'm not really knowledgeable in, but it's food for thought

Lol I was gonna rag on you and say "already forgotten it's been 25 years" but I'd hold my alibi in like a fart at dinner with the in laws.

Gee... Gosh... Golly... God... Gee... Hmmm... I don't know... Gosh...

@HeadLikeOrange Yep, they could have a video of the murder and still will try to get the person to confess. That bit of dialogue of them admitting it is way more damming than anything else the State may bring forward as evidence.

@khatool A confession is hugely helpful.

@khatool A confession is hugely helpful.

@antjobert Yeah it struck me as weird to that they would need to do this interview. Like, if they found her DNA on the bite it's kind of hard to make a defense to that. "I happened to discover the body and wanted to check her vitals using an old Navajo trick passed down in my family!"

I suspect that thet kind of just wanted to talk to her themselves because she was a colleague they had worked with for a long time. Just out of curiosity and astonishment. Was this video even admissable in court? If it is then why do they do the miranda rights at all?

It doesn't even matter. They already had the DNA evidence at this point and were ready to arrest her. I'm surprised they even needed to do this interrogation. They had already sent cops to Sherry's family's town waiting for this interview to end, ready to tell them the news that Stephanie was arrested.


Thanks to these two adroit cops this malfeasant is paying the  price for her crime.   Great commentary  and the exorcist clip at the end is solid gold!


And SHE passed the tests to become a police officer in the States?! Wow.


I'm doing a facial exercise class, and my teacher uses these clips of her as an example. We all memorized the pattern and do it daily! Even if she's a murderer, she's good at learning kids this stuff!😃


So glad your channel is still here!  Was lead to believe you had quit YT.


She looks like someone who has learned how a human should act.

@Sombrero it’s still up, unless there’s a different video you’re talking about

Not really, she did a very poor job at learning that

@sushi there used to be a video on here called "guilty until proven innocent" but it seems to be taken down...it describes this situation exactly and i'm in the same boat with you, I'd probably be the guiltiest looking innocent suspect to ever sit in that room...

ngl this is exactly what i was thinking... and, as someone with autism who tends to act The Exact Same Way even when I AM LITERALLY TELLING THE TRUTH, it made me realize i better pray i never EVER have to get taken in for questioning because holy shit i would look SO guilty even if i didn't do anything

well to be fair, she is experiencing the most terrifying moment of her life. what would be creepier is if her behavior was completely ordinary

Well that's exactly what sociopat is about.

@ourcorrect opinions her facial expressions reminded me of one recent US president.

More like attempted to learn and failed.

Maybe she went to Tommy Wiseau's acting school haha


It's amazing how all that time went by and she didn't practice a good speech or some of the most common questions she could receive.<br>"Did you ever go to his house?" -> "Good, I don't know, I don't think I did"... NOBODY forgets visitings your ex's house and meeting his wife

This interview is gold. I can watch her squirm over and over again.


Hey man why don't you make more of this videos? Its awesome to say the least! I enjoyed watching this kind of videos.


She gives me really strong Annie Wilkes vibes…..to think that those deranged eyes filled with rage were the last images that Sherri saw before she died :( Stephanie is where she belongs.


The fact that she got away for 20+ years when she’s a terrible liar. If only they listened to the dad and just questioned her

@Lazy Daisy no nothing at all... dont you know you must fight against police and be belligerent when you are among cops.

She was a cop! A cop! That's a perfect camouflage!

@Tommy Swenumson hmmmmm wonder why many people are very sceptical towards cops.

@Simeon Roban ummm do you know anything about police brutality or have watched the news of the countless murders of black people that the police attempt to cover up?

@Simeon Roban you should read the wiki page for this case. The criminalist who obtained the original DNA sample linking Lazarus to the murder claims she was told directly by her supervisor to overlook Lazarus.

the police department often covers up their colleagues crimes on purpose!!

@Simeon Roban Yikes, did the police steal your grammar too?

@TIV67 Playz thanks im roman catholic and already saved.

They were too busy chasing those two Mexicans around.

Yeah, but you're ignoring the fact that his brother played basketball at Northridge

They said that since she was a police officer, the detectives working the case at the time just brushed it to the side. Maybe because they worked with her so they couldn't imagine her doing something like this, or just trying to cover one of their own. Sad either way.

Very rarely does a case go cold because of a killer's competence. It's usually due to terrible police work.


When can I expect some new videos Jim? Your content is absolutely amazing


Them talking to her for just over an hour while already having the evidence to arrest her and having people waiting to cuff her just seems like such a troll move and I love it


So, if they had all of this original testimony of this feud between her and the victim, why was she never interrogated or considered as a suspect in the beginning?? Couldn't be because of her affiliation with law enforcement, could it?? They would never sweep obvious intel under the table for one of their own, would they?? 🤔

I've seen a few comments about her hubris, but she evidently wasn't confident enough to let herself be incriminated right away in order to be acquitted (and protected from further prosecution).   UPDATE: Apparently the victim's father was told he "watched too much TV" when he tried suggesting Stephanie as a suspect.  Evidence went missing and police had nothing to say about it (pretty clearly either a cover-up or flat-out incompetence).  Stephanie reported her gun missing 13 days after the murder.  Stephanie ended up a detective, married to a detective.  Flash forward to the time of this video: since the bite swab showed female DNA, five female suspects were considered and everyone but Stephanie was ruled out.  Even found guilty, Stephanie was not fired but was allowed to retire from the police department.


OMG, that ending! <br>Someone deserves some kind of an award 🏆

OMG, that ending!
Someone deserves some kind of an award 🏆


Man I bet her heart absolutely sumo slammed into her stomach when that name was brought up

@Grammar Splaining sometimes the best hiding spots are in plain sight

@A W she didn't pretend to not know him, she pretended she didn't recognise the name because they pronounced it wrong

@Frederick Flintstone bro tf is wrong with u that you'd even compare this brutal bludgeoning execution to cheating on someone Jesus Christ 😂

@pradman81 no way. She thought about it every day for those 25 years. She probably was just waiting for the day to come

@Simon 1985 if I had committed a murder, you would know it because the very next day I would be in a country with no extradition treaty. I can't believe she hung right around that police department for 20 years.

I wish they would have asked her about giving a bite impression. Or told her that DNA was recovered from the bite mark on the victim. Just to see the look on her face.

@Frederick Flintstone He might have been playing both of them, but still didn’t murder either, lol.

@Brandon Sutton you wouldnt remember someone you knew for like 10 years and dsted for around 4-5, also fucked when you werent dating, even when he got married? (Well the video said when he was engaged but still). Lets add another year to rhe relationship due to that sex thing so let's say 5-6 years... idk how long youve been alive and your relationship history but it is impossibke she wouldnt remember HER BOYFRIEND OF UP TO 6 YEARS,  and then after refreshing her memory, the first thing she remembered about him was they went to the same school and not "we dated for like 10% of my life"

@Matti O youd love to see her face but hate to smell the room... cant blaim her tho.

And i have no soubts she shat herself, i mean first she pretends she doesnt remember the guy and her first words are "oh i went to school with him" THE DUMBEST THING SHE COULDVE SAID. It immidiately told detectives shes hiding something. If she said "do i know John Soandso? Yes, yes i do, why?". Or yes i did if she hasn't seen him in a while.

My point is, saying that is not suspicious, saying anything else is (besides the truth - yes, we dated for years)

@Frederick Flintstone totally agree! Must have been something to do with her lips I'd say! 😉

@Frederick Flintstone Yeah, his word can be described as nothing but crocodile tears.

The wiki article on this case hints that there might have been police tampering with the evidence in the case file, but that it was later able to be accessed.  It's possible there were backups she didn't know about.  She may have thought she was in the clear if she or her husband (also a cop) or another officer she knew had tried to remove evidence.

Yep, she must have felt the urge to puke

You could hear it in her voice, I'd have loved to have seen her face.

I’ll bet every time DNA advances were made over the years, she’d get brown trousers.

I was thinking the same this. She would have believed all those years that she got away with it.


The psychology behind the way people react during these interrogations is so interesting.

You're right JOhNiE, survival techniques in situations like this this are very intriguing.


It’s so pathetic watching someone you know is guilty put on a whole act for hours on end. Nothing is genuine. It’s like watching a child with cookies on their hand tell you a 3 hour story about how they’ve been taking a nap and didn’t even know there were any cookies


They've not mirandized her and are conducting a "secret" interrogation which deprived her of the right to remain silent. Therefore it would seem reasonable to say none of this would be admissable in court later.

@Heather Bukowski That was done for one reason and one reason only. To disarm her. Regulations mandate no firearms in those rooms. It was a safety precaution and a very astute one at that. Also, they leveled with her right off the bat. No hem and hawing, no skirting around it, they were truthful with her the moment she sat down. They put a LOT of preparation into this interview and handled it masterfully.

@767 Driver but she was lied to about why she was being brought in there. I know that's legal to do, but... it's kinda messed up.

She was NOT deprived in any way. She was free to remain silent and walk out at anytime without speaking a word. Only when arrested is law enforcement obligated to inform them of their rights.

Yeah, I'm curious about this too. Obviously she did it and I'm glad she's in prison, but what are the legalities of this situation...?


To quote from Shakespeare’s Hamlet “lady doth protest too much methinks”! Her denials and her forced expressions are so very revealing which is why Shakespeare was a genius at understanding human behavior, even all those years ago when psychoanalyzing wasn’t yet a recognized method of understanding human behavior.


Interrogators: “would you be willing to give us a dna swab”

Her: “Geeze I don’t know, you know, it’s like I don’t even know if I have dna you know.”

Your DNA was trapped in some amber Stephanie.

Dna? Geeze, let me think ... it was so long ago...Let’s see...(squishes face) there were 10 of us in the dorms...I dated other guys, I'm sure he dated other girls...

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

Not accurate. You didn't include a week-long explanation of what DNA is and everything to know about it.

@Who Cares "I mean it's 2009 so... pshhh"

I mean you know I had DNA a million years ago, I don’t know, yknow!

Legendary comment. I laughed pretty hard at this one.

@Ramadan Steve back then yes it was only fingerprints. I have lotsa cops and Sargents and detectives in my family. I was gonna be a cop too but failed the test….lol. Guess I’m not cop material.

@Ramadan Steve Presumption of innocence. She might've been fingerprinted today but back in '82-'86, there would absolutely not have been mandatory DNA-swabs.

Jeez! My DNA has no memory of being at the crime scene. Do you think that this is ironic how this is a cold case snd her last name is Lazarus. A case being brought back to life. Haha

well geez, when was the big earthquake? i lost it then!

Gee, like I said, I don't have DNA since what, like 96.

Just started watching, idk if this is a joke or if she actually says it

I swear imma lose my shit if she actually does 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣 this alone is funny... not the situation but.... shed be capable of saying this verbatim

How do you even get hired as a cop without providing a DNA sample?

Do they only do fingerprints or something?

I'm just trying to think. I'm just saying, it's been so long ago.

“Geeze what year was I born do I even have dna anymore?”

Geez Dna is like millions of years old..

มีรูนะ รอดอมาแงะ


"we are just talking you're obviously free to leave whenever you want"
"leaves"
2 minutes later: you have the right to remain silent, do you understand?
Teared up from laughing

"you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"

Not just returns, but returns in handcuffs 🤣


Hearing him speak in court about his wife was so sad. She sounded like a good person and so does he. Very fitting to end the video like that.


I'm glad they got her. This  just proves the old saying don't talk to the cops. It's amazing how she fell for all the tricks her arrogance or delusions did her in


This case is the epitome of what's wrong with law enforcement today.


funny how she remembers weird ass details but can’t answer simple straightforward questions lmaoo

She has those memories to bury the bad lol


"I know how this stuff works". She's well aware of how corrupt her own industry is.


Miss you guys. I hope you are back soon in some form.


Just think. Stephanie probably thought she got away with it. Maybe took a few years for the stress to start to subside, but she moved on with her life. Was married and had a career. I'm sure the thought of the murder haunted her, though as time passed, she probably felt safer and safer.... And BOOM!! 25 years later. With so much to lose. Her life she built comes crashing down all at once. On top of being a cop sentenced to prison. What a tragedy all around for the families.


Pathetic. After all those years of being a cop it’s rather pitiful she hadn’t thought about this moment and better prepared for it based on what she knew about police interview procedures.  Fortunately, murder is as stupid as it is evil, and God has mercifully ordained in a fallen world where it’s frequently not the best and brightest who kill!


What’s sad is that there a tons of these murder cases that are still unsolved and this one just so happen to get lucky enough to be picked and figured out. RIP to all those victims that don’t have justice

@ Tamara ..No you can’t just “ ask forgiveness “ and get into heaven. It doesn’t work like that. If someones told you that’s all you have to do they are misleading you. No where in the Bible does it say that’s all you have to do.

I wish somebody would finally solve Jonbenet Ramsey's murder.

After your death you dont need justice. Its only about those who are still alive.

Nice <br>more videos( knowledge ) for me

@Chef Boyard but a murderer could ask for forgiveness and get into heaven, while their victim could go to hell. That's not justice.

Don’t worry. We all face our judgment one day (god)

Beautiful comment. May all their souls find peace along with their families

@Ahmed Suleiman true, I mean in this case she wasn’t the top suspect until it was picked up again but your point is still valid lol

And don’t forget that’s there could be a ton of of other cases of cops being the top suspect and the cases has been dismissed or went under the radar 😔


Guys, and I mean, this is just a hunch, BUT…I THINK she knows how these things work. She’s been doing this for a long time.


I would have loved it if they let Stephanie think that John was the suspect in his own wife's murder. I wonder how fast she would throw him under the bus or somehow implicate him. I have high doubts that he didn't know exactly who killed his wife. He may have been in utter fear of exposing this lunatic but still he knew.


This video has been cut down.... Last ten times I've watched it, it's never been this short. <br>It also starts in the middle of the sentence, unlike your other videos.

@The McPoyles I don't have too many issues remembering things I do every day, I have extreme issues remembering one off things that happen rarely though. Even if they would be deemed as extreme or important by other people. Would be screwed if I got falsely charged with murder apparently. Of course I know from watching almost every video on this channel and others to never say anything and get a lawyer instantly, lol. Can tell my lawyer that my memory sucks and can't remember anything.

I can't remember much about someone I dated like 15 years ago, let alone longer than that, can barely even remember her name. Let alone anything we ever did, and we were engaged, lmao.

PS: it's been actually 34 years ago cause i was born when that lady got killed. And yes, it's a lot of time.

Gee...  I dunno’, what year was the moon landing?  I remember he drove a 240 or 260 Z back in the day...  And what year was that released?  And the only reason I remember this is because I have pictures of him in the gosh car.  Golly, gee, I don’t remember, it could have been the 15th century...

@YogaFlame I like the idea of reading the comments first ! And getting stoned this time around. Hope the same people keep following these videos and we can just rip them up right down the line.

Start your own haggling group on that video and keep it going . You  can have a partner if you want but that's for you two to work out and not the responsibility of the group Then we could all drop in here now and then  and share our different experiences. Give each other tips .

John is also at fault here. He led on Stephanie multiple times knowing that she had feelings for him even though he never saw her more than a friend. He cheated on Sherri with her and even went on a vacation to Hawaii with Stephanie mere months after her murder.


It much bring her family such warmth to know that their family member got some level of Justice 25 years later.


Honestly, my grandma probably could get caught up for something because she always over explains everything and goes on tangents.


I like how before she knows they got her she drops the few comments like I’ve been doing this a long time, my husbands on the job, I taught dare and I’m going to have to contact someone. She’s been using her position and contacts for a long time abusing the system. She thought she was untouchable.

Her facial expressions... She looks ridiculous! How do the interrogators keep a straight face when questioning her?

So creative and amazing! Awesome comment! ❤

@God's Daughter there was another comment about her on a different video that said that she looked like a pumpkin on LSD. I thoroughly chortled at that one too 😆

Whenever i cant stop weeping from all the deaths of covid i purposely look for this comment. Im not even kidding with u. Because i know im going to find it read it and burst out laughing. Its LITERALLY my therapeutic approach at the moment. So thank u for the laughs😂

@SVMMY B0I I knew someone else had to have called that shit. The conversation leading up and following was so sketch. Someone may, or may not, but most definitely does have a pic of dude in his Datsun 240z

@Laurenen  she does the same thing almost 10 mins later, 37:18 only this one shows her gills from the side

not to add to a polluted comment section but its a way to expend her nervous energy subconsciously. better to use over-the-top facial expressions than start completely hyperventilating. if you've ever watched someone try and cover up a panic attack this is what it looks like sometimes.

@Laurenen thanks for the time stamp, I missed that one somehow.  I mean, i-huh, didn't recall, it wasn't standing out in my my. I mean, geez, gosh

LMFAO !!! I love it!!!😂😂😂 Thank u I needed a good laugh!!!! Success!!!

@Experiencing Interruptions? Emojis are based off her faces in this interview. That's why. 👉

The usage of these emojis “😳🤨🤪🧐😒🤔” made me FUCKEN LAUGH SO HARD 😂😂😂

i'm 5 minutes in and trying to copy cat all the facial expressions, my face feels tired in ways i've never felt before

Starrider Kittykat I’m sorry I’m not following, I think you might’ve missed the context

What kind of police officer is she? If she didn't realize that someday this day was coming especially when she bit her victim!

I keep thinking about this comment. *screenshot*


"I've been doing this a long time..."  "We know, that's why we're shocked you fell for it and showed every single sign of a guilty person. Thank you for that."


The fact that she keeps mildly slamming her forearm on the table is kinda weird.  Its like she's trying to come off as very casual and non-stressful but in reality she's having a physical reaction to the stress of the situation that she can't control.


Fantastic jobs from the investigators.......Finess was "divine".......Respect to these guys ! They knew what they were dealing with and they had to walk on thin ice.


Imagine rolling into a meeting at work free as a bee and next thing you know you’re charged with a murder after 30 minutes never to walk free again.


When she mentioned she taught D.A.R.E. that hit me... imagine teaching a roomful of kids not to do drugs when you murdered someone in cold blood...

@Adam Lui Yup. Good job chief. I totally didn't understand that at first.

@Tygra de Mello Yes she's bad but you said it didn't "make sense" she speaks on drugs as if somehow her credibility diminishes for having committed a totally unrelated crime. Now you say her priorities are off, which is a completely different assertion than your original one, so I think I did my job and finally convinced you killing people is irrelevant to whether drug advice is good or bad

@Tygra de Mello stalin? that wasn't tobacco in his pipe. mao? huge on bong hits. pol pot? blunts for days. that's why cannabis is called "the devil's lettuce."

@Aloysius2113 Maybe. I mean that's what all the other killers did.

@Tygra de Mello just imagine how many people she may have killed after smoking a marijuana cigarette though. it could be in the millions.

@Tygra de Mello stephie didn't even have the excuse of being on drugs!

@Adam Lui I'm saying she has the wrong priorities. Don't smoke weed kids but lemme kill a girl I'm jealous of. It's wild. I'm not saying weed or dare are bad things at all. Just her

@Anthony C137 ooohh jeez Rick, I dunno, I might have killed him, it's been so long

@Tygra de Mello I was in D.A.R.E I could care less if my mentors killed people, I base my decisions on how drugs affected their life. Killers go around successfully telling kids stay out of gangs and they too murdered people in cold blood

@Tygra de Mello But why does it matter? If a murderer shows you proof his IQ dropped 50 points w/ two test results because of weed, it wouldn't "make sense" to you to stay off drugs?

@Adam Lui It's just wild. She didn't think that any drug was okay (which some aren't but dare usually focuses on weed, which isn't bad) but turned around and killed someone. That doesn't make sense ya know

Why does it matter to her D.A.R.E cred if she killed someone? D.A.R.E. is not about morals but not frying your brain

@Tygra de Mello it possibly could have helped  say if Stephanie and the woman she murdered had just smoked a j with eachother and just talked about their issues I believe wholeheartedly that the situation would have turned out much differently but we will never know if that would have been the case

@JSN-_-Smoke I dunno bro, weed can help alot but can it calm a jealous rage?

@Tygra de Mello if she had maybe she would have mellowed out and not became a murderer

@Tygra de Mello I'd certainly do <i>you</i> tho

@Tygra de Mello I'd certainly do _you_ tho


There are a lot more sociopaths who think they can get away with murder wearing badges than we want to think. I'm not anti-cop btw, but it's true.


"Hell hath no fury, like a woman scorned" He said how wonderful his wife was and how proud he was that she was his wife, but ,yet, he cheated on her. Smh.


Brilliant choice of editing in those last couple of clips, really captures it. Your videos are so great 😀


I had to fight back tears listening to the husband give his statement in court at the end.


when you almost get away with murder but get caught because you had the urge to bite the person you already shot

when you almost get away with murder but get caught because you had the urge to bite the person you already shot

The bite was on the inside of her arm meaning she actually got the upper hand  so she bit her either to let her go or to drop something that was in her hand

@Carbon Compounds dude I know. I was thinking like why not make up something for the bite mark and say it happened earlier? Yeah you would still look fucking crazy, but at least it would make it harder for them to prove

@STAR CITY RC but if she tried to say that, they would just ask her why she didn't say anything at the time, right after it happened. If it truly was something like that, she would have turned herself in. So that kind of story wouldn't work. Especially for a cop.<br>Unless you meant that she should have said that right after it happened, not that she should have said it during this interview. In that case, it would definitely work better.

During their struggle Sherry managed to get Stephanie in a headlock and that's what Stephanie chose to do to get out of it,bit her. There are other videos that go into great detail about what happened between those two.

@Bookkeeper She bit Sherry (the murder victim) DURING the attack. Not after, as some erroneously believe. Sherry was desperately fighting back for her life. She got Stephanie (the murderer) in a headlock position and thats when she was bitten on the arm. Then she was shot dead.

@Wafaa Torrico she was fighting for her life bro she had every right to put her in a headlock

A book I read about this says cheri had her in a head lock so she had to bite like a 5 year old!

@Hazen it was after she was killed, they explained that in the beginning

@Hazen it was after she was killed, they explained that in the beginning

I don't know much about these investigation but I have noticed and experienced that the best way to get away with it is too include as much truth  as one can, she should have come clear about the past and just say that on murder day she bit her in rage at the afternoon or in the evening...don't know why people don't use common sense at these times.

@Shella Boudhoo  Ted Bundy. It’s how he got caught. So to realize that she’s just like him (and also a cop) is a scary realization.

She 's probably thinking I thought i' d covered my tracks I mean I've gotten away with murder for 23 years where did I go wrong? .

@Ma Sato No, she wasn't interviewed,  because...well, I believe the LAPD were covering for her. Poor Sherry's dad immediately suggested she be quizzed, but was ignored.

You know ironically she could have said she went to John's to say hello or that the wife lured her there and Sheri attacked her and she used Lethal Force.

The LAPD would have swept it under the rug back then.

My question is like why the actual f*ck did she bite her? I mean, thank God she did because that’s what put her behind bars. But like biting? I mean, I’m not a sociopath so I don’t get it lol

@Ma Sato nope, they didn’t even question her.  LAPD been corrupt for awhile.

@A H bite mark analysis is a bs pseudoscience

@A H bite mark analysis is a bs pseudoscience

No her victim had her arm around this scumbags neck the scumbag,bit her on the arm, to enable her to turn and shoot poor Sheri

Biting is actually a psychological approach to make yourself believe that you have dominated over someone who is better than you!

No but when you really think about how fucking scary that is it gives me chills.

No but when you really think about how fucking scary that is it gives me chills.

“You would think I’d remember” “I don’t think I had a physical fight” “ killing her doesn’t sound familiar” “shooting her? I don’t think so” lol

@A H Well, no, dental charts are no longer seen as empirical evidence and unless you have a suspect to compare the bite to, what good would it do you? Remember, back then you wouldn't be able to let a database match data anyhow.

Maybe she's part zombie 😨😨 maybe she got the c19 vax🧟♀

Maybe she's part zombie 😨😨 maybe she got the c19 vax🧟♀

A morbid act. Her morbidity got her caught, not the fact that she sinned of murdering someone and denying them a beautiful life. She could have gotten away with it. But no, she had to bite, because she is a monster.

@A H amazing they had 25 year old dna still lying around and that it could actually still be used

IKR. Whenever I bite into a freshly murdered body I ALWAYS light the body on fire afterwards, just to be on the safe side.

@Hazen She bit her AFTER she killed Sherry.  We know this cuz there was no bruising/hemorrhaging.

@Crodles CS:GO yes you Can dental work and the shape of the bite .  You just have to have a qualified person to analyze the bite

Lost in the sauce Uhh ever heard the saying that when you point a finger at someone, three of your own are pointing back? You’re calling someone stupid but you know the real problem is you, hence the low self esteem and the urge to disrespect others to make yourself feel superior.

@Lady Jay Mac I believe they used the saliva from the bite mark as the dna match

@Lady Jay Mac I believe they used the saliva from the bite mark as the dna match

@James Brown she had a hand gun when she was a PO and apparently the bullets that she was shot with matched those that were used in her type of gun. And after the murder she reported that her gun was stolen from her car (getting rid of evidence?), but reported it to a different station, not her own.

Turns out bite mark evidence is now considered pseudoscience in court.

@A H about the teeth part, its been debunked, you cant find a person based on teeth alone

@A H about the teeth part, its been debunked, you cant find a person based on teeth alone

@JJ Plays She bit the deceased while fighting over a gun. It was a violent altercation. Sherry(the deceased)didn't see it coming. Lazarus got into the condo through the garage. And Lazarus had been there before to talk to John. He was her ex(see pictures at beginning of interview). Lazarus also dated John AFTER his wife's murder. He also told detectives he thought Lazarus was involved! Facts.

@Ma Sato yes the biting is coz it was so personal, absolute jealous rage. I would think quite a few people very strongly suspected her due to the extreme jealousy - but due to her being police, it was casually overlooked. John himself must have known, the tension between his wife and very jealous lover was major

imagine the people out there who didn't bite and got away.. Thats rather freaky.

Not true, forensics would've grabbed the DNA from a different piece of evidence like hair or blood under the fingernails. They just used the bite because it was the most obvious source.

Yes! What kind of psycho rage does a person have to be in to bite like a toddler?!

Lost in the sauce yeah well go chill somewhere else or don’t comment when you don’t even know what you’re talking about. Thanksss

Lost in the sauce That’s what happens when you’re a real fan of crime shows and documentaries, different shows show different perspectives of the same case .. what are you doing here ? 😅

@A H there's a really good analysis of the utility of bite marks in forensic criminology in the series the innocence project on netflix

If she could hold her emotion, she wouldn't have killed her, probably. But then, those bite marks and other post-morthem injuries are clear signs of overkill, which point to a killer who knows and hates the victim. Did the police back in the days interview Stephanie at all???

Hazen thats how I always react either 👍 or “love you” when people insult me in comment section lol. And I agree with your theory more than the one presented in the case

How nutty you gotta be to bite a person who is already dead...ridiculous

How nutty you gotta be to bite a person who is already dead...ridiculous

@Cheryl Lynne yeah at or about the time of her death, they struggled, she bit her, got free, then shot and killed her, so that would be at or about the time of death. She didn't bite her post mortem or the link you sent would have stated that.

@Lost in the sauce I watched this and about three other shows on the case, they got in a physical altercation and she bit her arm

@ZH yes they did, MOST. Lazarus and Sherry got in a fight. Sherry got Lazarus in a head lock and Lazarus bit her arm so she'd let go, she was alive when Lazarus bit her.

Hazen but they said most injuries were after she was dead...didn’t they?

That last part of the video, shown in slow motion,  is when you see the demon living within her. It is clear to see it  in the face, in the eyes, in the the evil laugh and the growl.


You know, my pops once told me a long time ago about folks with crazy eyes. And shes definitely one of them


I've seen this more than once <br>I love it


Totally in shock.......she thought she had gotten away with murder !


I swear to god these comments are better than the actual interrogation. This woman drives me nuts. She was barely alive for most of her life apparently

Uhh...what year was that? I have to check my photos. John Rooden? Let me think. You mean John Ruttan? Oh yeah, I killed his wi- I mean that doesn’t sound familiar. Gosh, It’s been a long time ago

Geez, dunno... gosh... maybe... I mean... it was a million of years ago... geez!

Dunno...Gosh.

Comments? Well gosh, I don't know, this video was posted about a million years ago. There might have been some comments? Maybe! I don't remember :O :S :/ :O

She was most alive when she murdered jealously her perceived competition

@Ashley Jota probably how she keeps saying she doesnt remember stuff/doesnt recall, etc.


sometimes i wonder, how could someone can still continue living for years like nothing happened when he/she killed someone, wth


Detective : So how was you and Johns relationship?

Stephanie: Well gee this was a million and a half years ago, he was a uhmm good friend I guess. My backyard got ransacked by a bunch of gnomes once, me and John were dating actually but gee was his brother good at basketball. John , gosh can't believe I remember his name, I went to Hawaii with."

God does this woman ever just stop and think about the BS that's coming out of her damn mouth.


How is he going to say Sherry's family are in disbelief" when her father knew all along that Stephanie was the killer?


Only took her 1 hour and 4 minutes to fully catch on to what's going on.


Was anyone else expecting to hear a made up story about Art theft, slowly inching their way to the interrogation? There was nothing subtle or casual about that convo. The first thing they ask is “Do you know John Rutten?

@LostStarzOfTheSky They didn't say that til she started asking questions, I thought it would have made more sense to say that right away bc it was a good excuse and she probably would have relaxed

@LostStarzOfTheSky   yh they literally said it in 28:35-29:14

They probably knew she couldn't just get up and leave or else she would look guilty af. So all they had to do was play it really vague and watch her squirm. All they needed to do was get the contradictions from her.

The goal was to get her talking about Rutten. Observe her immediate reactions, then reassure her fear by not explicitly shooting down the art theft thing. She talked for over an hour, so I figure it worked pretty well.

Rutten? Or Rotten? Gee... I... I... Can't remember

"the interrogators practice more than any other interrogation ever before"
Opening line:
"Yeah, we're investigating an art theft. Do you know John Rutten?"

They immediately revealed it was a lie and explained their reasoning as "we didnt want people gossiping

Yes! I was like “huh” how is this a tactic 🤷🏻♀ maybe they skipped that part


Whenever she talks about “it was a million years ago” (for example, at 13:30) she is really saying “I never thought you would catch me after all this time. I thought it was over with and I had gotten away with it”.


If she went to that woman’s work and threatened to kill her how did it take years to solve the case?


All jokes aside, she looks pretty good for being over a million years old.


Sometimes I wonder if there’s someone out there who watches these videos to prepare themselves so they can get away with murder

Never have I seen something like this, so many of those facial expressions. Is this talking like crazy. Is this word salad ? She talked over the detective so she didn't really appreciate him although she understood and responded to what he was saying. SHE'S ANNOYING TO SAY THE LEAST. SHE JUST SAID, " I'M CRAZY ",AND MORE ABOUT HER EFFECTON OTHER PEOPLE. GEE WIZ ! HER MEMORY FAILS HER, POOR RECALL???

Bella Katherman geez, I was reading, I mean scrolling thru the comments but I’m a picture nut so um, yea, well, like, what’s this all about?

@The After-Hours hater? Yeah you pegged that one! If only I were clever enough to regurgitate the same comment used in every comment section on YouTube.

Casual Observer - there’s always a hater isn’t there.  Honestly I’m tired of the constructed conversations in comment sections.  Those are so worn out...

Please stop with the legend has it comments... Time for some new material.

This made me laugh out loud...woke my puppy up...and normally nothing does that.

Right!??!! I am absolutely amazed that they got her talking for so long, being that she is a COP. Genius detectives


Oh, how I would love to see a video of her interviewing a suspect!


I love how they let her leave, & then immediately arrest her😂


She tried so hard not to look guilty that she looked entirelyyyy too guilty


The patience this must have taken. I need that kind of patience.


imagine learning that your DARE officer was a murderer the whole time she was telling you that pot would kill you

At my school in Australia 25 of us got squeezed into a trailer at the front of the school and Harold the Giraffe basically said bongs are bad

@Alex Murphy he was talking about Len Bias

My dare officer told us about a kid who did cocaine, played basketball and his heart exploded lmao WHAT

@Gus Cox I remember my Dare officer. I even one an essay contest for Dare. <br>Went on to become a drug addict. Been sober 5 years.

@Gus Cox drug abuse resistance education. It ironically became cool to wear the swag

@Peter D'Agata thanks! im from the uk so maybe thats why its completely new to me. what a waste of money :/

@Gus Cox DARE was (is?) a program which told children not to do drugs, and DARE officers would come into schools and teach about the dangers of drug use, particularly “gateway” drugs like marijuana. The DARE program has been considered by many to be a failure.
