many people. and for that he has to pay a price, which is to say, he has now forfeited his life. and that's justice. >> that's all for now. . i'm craig melvin. and i'm natalie morales. and this is "dateline." i'm craig melvin. >> and i'm natalie morales. >> we were going to to work after hours. we were going to go wherever the case took us. >> one of the most extraordinary cases in lapd history. >> we're not in kansas anywhere anymore. >> a newly wed murdered months after her wedding. >> as she walked away she gave me a big smile and i relived that smile for years.

>> and no indications she was ever spoken to? >> and a new detective took a look at an old lead and a person they never would have suspected of murder was suddenly suspect number one. >> the perfect murder almost. welcome to "dateline." married just three months. then she was found murdered. what happened to her remained a mystery for decades partly because police mistakenly believed she was killed in a break-in gone bad. but they discovered it wasn't a burglar but a suspect whose trail led right to their own front door. >> february 2nd, 2009, homicide

detective arrived before dawn at the los angeles police department's station. >> i was tired. i was tired. he had hosted a super bowl party the night before and the beer had flowed freely. >> that seemed to be a good day to have a cup of coffee and getting caught up on my reading. >> a couple of aspirin? >> maybe. >> he reached for a file that had been sitting on his desk for months, the murder of sherry rasmeson. >> one of the worst crime scenes that i've seen. >> and just as troubling, she was murdered a generation ago, february 1986 meaning the odds of catching her killer were slim to none. >> memories fade.

evidence has to be relocated, so it's obviously an uphill battle. >> uphill battle does not begin to describe it. the cold case file he opened on that bleary eyed monday morning would lead him on the chase of a lifetime and it would shake the foundations of the lapd. it dates back to 1986 and a battle for the truth of the parents of a young bride. >> we miss her every day. >> those parents -- >> doesn't make any difference what day it is. it's a pain that's always there. there's no cure for it. >> reporter: who would want to kill sherry? she was hardworking, caring and popular with her coworkers trained as a nurse, sherry was director of critical care at a large local hospital. >> so we are implementing the

people difference program. >> it was a deaf stating day. she was 29 years old. and just in the prime of her career. >> kennedy was sherry's boss at the hospital. and had originally hired her. >> we couldn't believe it first of all. it was like, how could someone do this? people crying, people upset. i mean, the hospital was like a tomb, you know, so the loss was real palpable. >> reporter: sherry had just been married three months earlier. >> were they happily married. >> unusually so. >> but just months after the wedding john found sherry sprawled dead on the floor of their home. he might seem a likely suspect but john was cleared almost immediately. the lapd focused instead on evidence that this was a burglary that turned violent.

>> this was no accident. >> yolanda is a retired crime scene investigator and was a consultant to "dateline." >> shots fired at very close range. >> she's reviewed court records and media reports on this case. we return with her to the actual apartment where sherry was found murdered to try to understand what happened. police think maybe the killer just walked in the open front door. >> they didn't find any forced entry, so yes, they're assuming that the killer just walked right in. >> and right here where we're standing is where there's some kind of confrontation. >> there appears to be a struggle but we also have shots fired at this point. we have one shot that clearly goes straight through this backslider and another shot that went through sherry and back out through the slider also. >> and so sherry's wounded and

she tries to get back downsta s downstairs. >> she gets down these steps and actually would appear that she's trying to go out the door or make it to that alarm box where there's a panic button and at that point we believe sherry went down in this area due to the fact that you could see marks in this as well as broken fingernails from her hands. >> so there's a tremendous fight. >> yes, the killer is actually dragging her back into this area and the killer takes a vase and hits her in the head with it knocking her out, then muzzles the gun and does a contact shot into the victim. >> so that's an execution. >> that would be correct. as for a motive, it seemed to be in plain sight, just a few feet from sherry's body. >> they found a vcr and a disk player stacked up on top of the other right by the front door.

giving the indication this was a home invasion gone wrong. sherry's purse was missing as was her new bmw, an engagement gift from john. there was no sign of the murder weapon but detectives did recover two slugs and there was something else that caught detectives' attention. >> on the inside of her left arm i they found a bite mark. the crime scene analyst swabbed the arm for any possiblesa rye va that would belong to the killer. remember in was 1986. so back then the dna wasn't much help but the swab was carefully packaged and bundled with all the other evidence. for now detectives haven't have much more to work with.

no eyewitnesses, no usable fingerprints, no clear motive except the theory that this was a botched burglary. >> by the level of violence that occurred in this residence, the theory was that it was a man or possibly two men that had entered the residence to do a burglary or a home invasion that had gone completely wrong, murdered the victim to cover up the crime. >> gone wrong because sherry somehow surprised them. they panicked, shot her and then fled. the theory seemed to make sense especially since sherry had no apparent enemies. certainly no one that would want to kill her. >> they went up to sherry's office and said that if she couldn't have john, nobody could. >> when "dateline" continues. could. >> when "dateline" continues

the year was 1986, crack was hitting los angeles and the city of angels had become a violent place. the murder rate would hit 831 killings that year. nearly three times the amount 30 years later in 2016 and the lapd was stretched very thin. >> this was a time where homicide was just booming in los angeles. >> miles is a best selling

author who have written many stories about the lapd. >> you had the gangs who were expandi expanding. you had crack cocaine hitting the streets. this tremendous homicide rate and detectives were overwhoemed. >> and cops had their hands full with a heinous crime. 29-year-old sherry had been shot in here home. former crime scene investigator was a consultant for nbc news. >> the same vicinity another woman was approached in her residence by two males at gun point, also involved a home invasion robbery situation, so police early on thought that was a possibility these two men might have something to do with the murder.

>> a sketch was released of the two men, but still detectives had no prints, no eyewitnesses and no murder weapon connecting them or anyone else to sherry's murder and the dna collected at the crime scene was useless, at least right now. >> police went ahead and collected it anyway. why? >> well, at crime scenes if you know there was possible evidence on anything you're not going to leave it behind so it was great forethought on their behalf actually to recover it. >> detectives scoured the condo and the entire complex. the only thing apparently stolen was from the garage, sherry's car and that was recovered just a mile away from the crime scene with the keys still in it. the only other thing missing, sherry and her husband's marriage license. it seemed an odd thing to steal. cash, computers and jewelry weren't touched. but that wasn't the only thing that struck sherry's family and

colleagues as strange. the crime was especially violent for a burglary. >> it just seemed a little like overkill. >> sherry's boss at the hospital had to review sherry's autopsy report for insurance reasons and she was struck by what she saw. >> i thought, wow, she really put up one heck of a fight. which wasn't real surprising because sherry was tall, athletic, and i'm sure wouldn't go down easily. >> the lapd theory back then was that there were two men robbing the house and so presumably sherry would have fought with two guys. >> that part didn't make a lot of sense to me because i thought if there were two men and they had a gun that just seemed a little weird. >> because sherry wouldn't begin a fight with two guys who were

armed. >> i would about think so. >> what about with a woman? >> i think she would have taken on a woman. >> we'd really like to know what happened. >> sherry's parents never thought it was a burglary. they knew sherry had strange encounters, one as she dined at a restaurant and thought a woman was watching her. >> she said, she has eyes that can see right through you. >> scary eyes. >> there was also a run-in at the hospital where sherry worked. >> she went to sherry's office and said that if she couldn't have john, nobody could. >> most terrifying, an encounter in sherry's own home and by now, she knew who the mystery woman was. >> she heard a noise and she looked up and there was john's ex- girlfriend. >> how did she get in the house? >> we have no idea. >> john's ex- girlfriend,

appeared to be stalking sherry, yet sherry never mentioned the woman's name to her parents. instead, she told them not to worry. >> she told me, i want to see if i can't work this out myself. >> that conversation happened during a dinner celebrating sherry's 29th birthday. after ward her parents took sherry to the airport. >> as she walked away she turned and gave me a big smile and i've relived that smile for years. >> less than three weeks later, sherry laid dead. they insist that early in the investigation they told the lead lapd detective about sherry's troubling encounters with john's ex- girlfriend. >> i told the detective, not once, but probably 15 to 20 times and he said, the trouble with you is you've been watching too much tv.

>> coming up, old evidence offers new clues. >> the suspect made it appear to look like a burglary. they staged it to mislead the investigation in 1986. she was executed. >> when "dateline" continues. exd >> when "dateline" continues we women, are redefining ourselves. let's also rethink how we care for ourselves.

los angeles condo. the trail kept getting colder. in 1993 sherry's parents offered to have the saliva sample from that bite mark tested for dna, but the lapd declined. they said we don't have a suspect. if we have a suspect and we had their dna we'd have something to match. but in 2004, the newly formed cold case unit was conducting dna cases and one of them was sherry's. it took two months to find that saliva sample buried in a refrigeration unit. the vile was poking out, but the saliva was still inside and the dna was just enough to blow this case wide open.

>> in the lab report it indicated that the suspect that had bitten sherry during the struggle was actually a female. >> a woman not two male burglars as the original detectives had suspected. but it would take a few more years to understand what that crucial dna test result meant. it was now 2009 and the case was cold once again. 23 years it sat with no apparent leads, no suspects, and no answers for the family. then came that monday after the super bowl super bowl when the detective began kicking through that old case file and made a remarkable discovery. the dna test that had been conducted back in 2004. >> once the department realized that a woman was involved why did it take four years until you

finally picked it up. what was the department doing in the interim? >> investigators may have followed the initial theory of this crime that in fact it was a burglary. >> and that there was a woman involved in the burglary? looking back now in hindsight it was an opportunity that may have slipped through our hands as an organization. >> but now he took a closer look at the crime scene photos and began to develop his own very different theory. she was shot at point blank range and despite the stereo equipment stacked by the front door, very little was actually stolen. >> the suspect made it appear to look like a burglary. they staged it. she was executed. >> in other words, someone had wanted sherry dead. so now he dug deeper through the file looking for names, female

names. >> we had five women that would have had access to sherry and perhaps at least some of them may have motivated to harm her. three of them reeliminated almost immediately for insufficient motive. >> but there was still two names left. one of them was a coworker. >> a woman named debra. this person of interest was later replaced by sherry and problems followed almost immediately after that. >> there was bad blood between them. >> there was a motive. >> reporter: debra had moved to california. in the meantime, he learned more about the second woman. he contacted john rutton, sherry's former husband. >> he explained he had been involved in a dating relationship with stefani.

>> stefani, that was the other name still on the short list of suspects. he pressed rutton for more on their relationship which had started when they were both students at ucla. they dated on and off until john got engaged to sherry. >> you're convinced that the relationship with john had overlapped with the relationship he had with his wife. >> we know from john that there was at least on one occasion that he was intimate with sketchny has rhus. there was a love triangle and stefani has rhus had deep feelings for john rut top aton y have had a motive to hurt sherry. >> we had two women on the list who in our opinion had a motive to harm her. >> debra the nurse and stefani has rhus.

>> correct. >> a few weeks later cops in northern california tracked down debra and recreditly scooped up a sample of her crash that contained her dna. it was sent to the crime lab and 72 hours later came an answer. >> she was not the donor of the dna profile from the bite. >> that left one possible suspect. number five on the list. john rutton's ex- girlfriend. he called the family. >> we came home and there was a message on our phone from a detective that they wanted to talk to us and i thought, oh, yeah, right. i thought it was just another false hope. >> this is detective. >> right. >> he said that they were opening the investigation. >> mills was upset with me. it was sort of like detective where have you been for the past two decades? >> and now he explained it all,

he he told detectives that someone was stalking his daughter sherry, a woman with crazy eyes, the ex- girlfriend of sherry's husband. he had never known that the girlfriend's name was stefani has rhus but he did know something else about her, something very important and by this time detective knew it too. >> he was very cautious of what he said but he said that we'd be hearing more from him. >> he had ample reason to be cautious. because he'd learned that stefa stefani lazurus as a person suspected. >> a top secret investigation as detectives go after one of their own. >> we would never leave a paper

special counsel robert mueller is soon to file a recommendation for paul manafort. he faced a myriad of charges including witness tampering and laying to prosecutors. and r and b superstar r kelly surrendered to chicago police. he's charged with multiple accounts of aggravated sexual abuse and they allege the abuse involved four victims. he's said to appear in court this afternoon. now back to "dateline." welcome back to "dateline." i'm natalie morales. she had been murdered back in the 1980s.

her parents told investigators about several run ins with her husband's ex-. now a detective was focusing on that very same woman who happened to be a member of the lapd. here's more with the smoking gun. >> the lapd had but one narrative for sherry's murder. she was randomly killed by two men during a botched burglary. now science had rewritten the script and this once cold case was suddenly almost too hot to handle. the prime suspect an lapd detective named stefani. but as he went back through the original murder book he found almost nothing on her even though she was the ex- girlfriend. >> no indication she was ever spoken to? >> no. >> there was just one notation

in the official chronoology from back in is the 86. a detective had written her name but no notes. >> she seemed to be someone above suspicion. stefani had grown up in southern california, a tomboy of sorts. loved sports, she attended ucla where she played basketball. it was during her college days that she met and dated john rutton long before he and sherry had gotten married. she surprised her family by joining the lapd. >> i don't think i knew that she was applying. >> i was very proud. i thought it was a cool thing. >> stefani quickly rose through the ranks at the lapd from

patrol officer to detective. she was popular, friendly and well regarded. her assignments also included project dare, a drug prevention program aimed at kids. she was twice named detective of the year. later she worked at internal affairs investigating other officers accused of wrong doing or corruption and was then promoted to the lapd's art theft unit. her personal life was good too. in 1996 she got married to another detective. together they adopted a baby daughter. life both at home and on the job never seemed better. >> she was a happy person. she loved what she did for work. she loved her husband, loved their life. >> reporter: but in 2009 this high achieving cop became the focus of a homicide investigation. they had to be mindful that she

had many friends on the force. her husband worked at the same station. >> we were going to work behind closed doors. we were going to work afterhours. we would never leave a paper trail of what we were doing. >> they even gave her a code name, number 5 and contrary to police procedure they decided not to tell lapd headquarters that their suspect was a fellow detective. >> it would protect the integrity of the investigation and if she was not involved then nobody would ever know about it. >> four cops knowingly skirted department rules to investigate one of their own. >> it was a difficult phase of our careers. she was one of us. she worked our unit. had worked side by side with the people around us. >> but they didn't waiver. they built a case by

exhaustively reviewing the original files and interviewing sherry's friends and family. it came clear to them that stefzny had the means, the motive and the opportunity to kill sherry. she seemed obsessed with john and jealous of his new wife. was she the same person with the scary eyes who had been stalking sherry? to the detectives it seemed to add up especially when he considered this. sherry's purse and all its contents stolen during the crime were recovered soon after the murder. except for one item inside. >> the only thing that to this day that was never recovered was john and sherry's marriage certificate. >> after three months of intense secretive investigation, the team needed one last piece of evidence that would either clear the detective or incriminate her. >> we needed a sample of her

dna. our investigators were not cut out for undercover surveillance work. >> so he finally brought lapd's internal affairs detectives into the loop hoping they could close the deal by somehow secretly obtaining her dna. she was tailed for days as undercover cops waited fer her to leave some small piece of herself behind. finally at a retail store, it happened. she ordered a soft drink and drank it. a trace of her saliva was on a straw which she then tossed into the crash. it was more than enough for testing. two dna samples separated by two decades. 48 hours later he got a call. he said it's a match. >> good feeling, bad feeling? >> surreal. that moment, that call, i'll never ferg it. >> but stefani was still free

and had no clue that after 23 years her very own department was on her tail for murder. detectives wanted to speak with stefani to elicit a statement, per happen as confession but they'd have to do it without revealing how deeply implicated she was in the murder. so another secret plan was hatched, this time to get stefani's side of the story and all of it would be captured on tape. >> stefani is asked by fellow detectives to help in an interrogation only to discover she's the suspect. coming up -- >> i must have killed her. i mean, come on. snoop when "dateline" continues. . snoop when "dateline" continues. or more touchdowns. get the immune support that gives you more. airborne gummies have 50% more vitamin-c than emergen-c... plus our crafted blend of vitamins, minerals and herbs. airborne.

of reporting broken by nbc news. >> we're following a number of fast paced developing stories this morning. june 5th, 2009, started routinely enough for stefani. she took the train to union station in downtown l.a. reporting for her normal shift that morning at police headquarters in parker center. >> after arriving stefani was told to meet with two detectives, men she didn't know from the elite robbery homicide division to help them interrogate a suspect involving some stolen art work which was stefani's beat as a detective. so she went down to a secured area in the basement to meet with her two colleagues in a small interview room. because it's part of the jail all cops are required to give up

their guns. unarmed and unsuspecting, she didn't realize she was being recorded by an undercover camera. >> hi. >> have a seat. >> and that's when detectives revealed that this conversation wasn't about art. >> do you know john rutton? >> john rutton? >> you said you dated john. how long did you guys date? >> i mean, what -- are you guys, is this something -- you said i was going to interview somebody about art. >> detective seemed uncomfortab uncomfortable and vague in her answers especially when they add skbt sherry. >> you know, i may have talked to her. you know -- >> you mentioned a hospital maybe. you may have talked to her at a hospital. >> yeah, i may have -- you know, i'm thinking back now, you guys

are bringing back all these old memories. >> detectives turned up the heat. >> did you have a fight with her? >> like we fought? >> did you ever duke it out with her? >> no, i don't think so. >> you'd remember that. >> yeah, i would think so. >> most of us can remember the number of fistfights we've had over the course of our lives but she answers no when she asked whether she attacked sherry. >> i doesn't sound familiar. i mean, what are they saying? so i fought with her so i -- get the jump, they're saying i fought with her so i must have killed her. i mean, come on. >> after about 45 minutes she realized she was the prime suspect in sherry's murder. >> now you're accusing mf-this? is that what you're saying? >> we're trying to figure out

what happened. >> well, i was -- you know, i'm just saying, do i need to get a lawyer? minutes later it came to an end that must have been as familiar as it was uncomfortable for all of them. >> i know. you guys have to do your job and i guess i'm going to have to contact somebody. >> that's fair. >> because i know how this stuff works. >> and then she was read the same words she herself had read to hundreds of suspects over the years. >> do you know have the right to remain silent? >> yes. >> and for just a moment you can see the handcuffs placed on her by her fellow officers. >>. i'm totally in shock. >> word of her arrest traveled fast to tucson where the detective was standing by to deliver the news to the family. >> tell me what you said. >> you were right, folks. you folks were right. and i apologize that it took us

over two decades to give them that closure. >> feel better? >> the most gratifying moment of my career. >> i was extremely happy. i said, i feel like i knew it all along. >> back in l.a., the family also got the news. >> well, it was numbing. >> i'm guessing one of the things you said or thought was, they got it wrong somehow. this is a mistake. >> absolutely. it's going to be cleared up by the end of the day. >> didn't happen. >> didn't happen. >> stefani didn't go home that day after her arrest. bail was set at $10 million. much higher than most murder cases. the judge considered her a flight risk citing the strong case against her. and for the lapd, it was a bittersweet day.

a 23-year-old cold case they believed had finally been cracked but the prime suspect worked right beside them. for the family, stefani's arrest was a vindication but it also brought back their bitter members of the original lapd investigation. >> i think it was because she was a police officer so they just figured that they would cover this one up. >> the family hired l.a. attorney john taylor who filed a lawsuit against the detective and also the lapd claiming the department deliberately ignored clues that pointed to a fellow officer. >> the earlier missteps of lapd weren't missteps. they were intentional conduct, intentional ignoring of evidence and intentional dereliction of duties. beyond just being sloppy or lazy. >> the fact that they didn't close the case and that they didn't listen to the family,

those two things are not evidence of a coverup. >> it wasn't that they didn't close the case. they didn't do anything to create a case. >> he says that in 1986 the detectives were protecting stefani. >> they actively covered up the identity of the person who committed this crime. >> the lawsuit alleging a coverup was dismissed in 2011. charlie beck was then the lapd chief and he spoke with us about the case. >> i can accept somebody that is unable to solvesa crime that is solvable. i cannot accept someone that covers up a crime. i have absolutely no indication that that that's what happened here. >> there's nothing that indicates that was just a road they didn't want to go down. >> i think it was a lack of ability, not a deliberate intentional act to exclude stefani.

>> in february of 2012, nearly 26 years to the day since sherry's murder, stefani would have her day in court. a chance to clear her name and reputation. a chance to show that dna evidence isn't always right and thatright, and that the los angeles police department had it all wrong. >> coming up, did the lapd have it wrong? >> stefanie went to tell sherry, look, you guys are getting married, i tell him not to call me. >> we the jury find the defendant stephanie eileen lazarus -- >> when date line continues. zar- >> when date line continues.

versus stefanie lazarus, finally began in a courtroom in downtown los angeles. the prosecution laid out a clear case of how stephanie lazarus was deeply in love with john rutton, and was devastated when he became engaged to sherry, and then executed her and covered it up, by staging a burglary. linda deutsche of the associated press covered the trial. >> the opening statement by the prosecutor was quite dramatic and he came up with a theme which was that the case was about a bite, a bullet, a gun barrel, and a broken heart and that kind of resonated in the courtroom. >> the jury saw journals police seized from stefanie's home detailing how upset she was when she learned john was engaged to someone else. >> stephanie's date book was also introduced which mentioned lock smithing books, that could

explain why there was no forced entry to the condo. on the day of the murder, then patrol officer lazarus happened to be off-duty, the ammunition used in the shooting was the same time issued by the lapd said prosecutors and the same caliber as lazarus's off-duty weapon, a 38 revolver she reported stolen just two weeks after the murder. but the real smoking gun was the bite mark dna found at the crime scene. >> dna was definitely the center piece of this case. this shows she was there. without the dna, they could not have placed her at the condo. >> and the statistics were staggering. a 1.7 sextilion to one chance that the dna belonged to someone other than stefanie lazarus defense attorney aggressively attacked that dna evidence, insisting it had been mishandled, improperly stored and sealed, which compromised

the sample. >> the vial was protruding, rather than being inside the envelope and sealed. in order to protect the integrity of the evidence. you can't rely on the scientific results. >> he also said that hair, blood and fingerprints found at the crime scene did not come from lazarus. as for the weapon that filed the fatal shot, he insisted there were several other types of guns besides stefanie's that could have fired those bullets. and as to motive, the defense argued there was no evidence that stephanie lazarus was obsessed with sherry's husband john. quite the opposite. >> john would still call her, and stephanie went to tell sherry, look, you guys are getting married, i tell him not to call me. >> after five weeks, it was up to the jury. loretta and necessarily

rasmussen had waited a lot longer than that. >> do you feel confident? >> as confident as you can be with a jury. you never know what a jury is going to do. >> good afternoon. >> we the jury in the above entitled action find the defendant guilty of the crime of murder of sherry rasmussen. we further find the murder was of the first degree. >> the day the rasmussen family thought would never come finally did. as their attorney john taylor explained. >> the family is overwhelmingly relieved that again, their suspicion, and today's verdict, reflects and confirms the identity of the person who killed their daughter, and the intent with which she did it. it's a tremendous relief. >> for the lazarus family, their wife, daughter, sister, and once decorated detective, was now a convicted killer. >> we really did not expect this
