![]() Sherri’s parents insisted that Stephanie Lazarus be considered a suspect as they knew she had been intimidating Sherri. No one was arrested for the murder, and the investigators closed the case without considering any more suspects. Hence the crime in which Sherri was shot three times and bitten was immediately wrongly identified as a “burglary gone wrong” even though nothing except the BMW and John and Sherri’s marriage license was stolen. Image Credit: That Chapter/YouTubeīurglaries had taken place on that very street two days after the incident where an unsuspecting woman was held at gunpoint by two Latino men. This was followed by John (who had repeatedly called home that day and received no answer) returning home and finding his garage door open, glass broken, Sherri’s silver BMW gone, and his wife dead on the living room floor. It has also been reported that Stephanie once landed at Sherri’s place of work to threaten her by saying, “If I can’t have John, no one else will.” On the afternoon of February 24, 1986, sounds of disputes were heard by a maid working nearby the Ruetten residence. Numerous events precede the actual event of the crime, where Sherri complained about feeling uncomfortable by a jealous and imposing Stephanie who showed up to their house uninvited. Stephanie, who later became a part of the LAPD, was dejected when she learned that John was in a serious relationship with a 29-year-old nursing administrator Sherri Rasmussen. As undergraduate students at the University of California, Los Angeles, John and Stephanie shared the same dorm floor and occasionally dated during and after their graduation. ![]()
