      The wikipedia page on this case is really interesting. It turns out that Lazarus and Rutten got back together briefly in 1989, three years after the murder. At this point Rutten called the case Detective to make sure there was 'no evidence Lazarus killed his wife'. This sounds a bit odd in itself, but if there was some complicity and perhaps life insurance fraud then he would have to make sure that getting back together with her wouldn't raise enough suspicions that could get them caught.
      Maybe there is more to this story.

      @Caffeine_Addict_2020 7 місяців тому +39

      I mean - read about this case a bit - I can't see any way this WASN'T a cover up by the LAPD - they completely ignored her as a suspect, and over the years when detectives came across her, their supervisors told them to ignore her, even going so far as to harass them with counseling for being "stressed". Stephanie knew for years that the LAPD would tell her everything about the case, and would actively ignore her as a suspect, so why would she think it was any different now? She probs just thought they were giving her more inside information on the case for no reason
      Also for fucks sake, a detective straight up took all of the DNA evidence from the case in the 90's and "lost" it, only leaving behind the bite evidence. They also let Stephanie see the case file for the murder repeatedly even though she was the primary suspect.
      The only reason she was convicted here was because these two detectives removed her name from all of their documents, only calling her "suspect #5". They only let their supervisors know AFTER they had already secured the proper DNA evidence

    She’s guilty as sin and freaking out inside but she is still SO calculated. She almost NEVER gives a straightforward, yes or no answer. Every response leaves room for plausible deniability: “Maybe”, “it’s possible”, “I’d think I’d remember that”, “I’m not sure”. She knows very well she can’t be caught in a lie if she just pleads ignorance and bad memory.

      But when she did it there was no technology to reliably trace her by the bite marks, right? So she wasn't thinking that this could get her in trouble, thus she could go feral. And also, she probably wasn't thinking at all if she decided to bite it in the first place.

      I'm not the criminal type in anyway but in hearing the things my "friends" and coworkers might get into, I have learned that cops lie (and are allowed to do as much to get a confession, regardless of the seriousness of the charge), some WILL ABSOLUTELY try to violate the rights you have that they expect you to not know, and it is best to ask for counsel as soon as the opportunity arises because of these things (even if it is something as minor as a fender bender out drinks traffic stop).

    The real coward in this case was John Ruetten, Sherri's husband. He knew that Lazarus had been stalking and harrassing Sherri. But he never put his foot down and told Lazarus to back off. Then after the murder, he stonewalled the investigation when he could have immediately told them about what had been going on, but did not tell them. Sherri had changed the beneficiary on her life insurance policy from Ruetten to her father. Ruetten tried to get her father, Nels, to turn over the money to him. But Nels told the scumbag to fk off. Nels had all along told the lead detective, Lyle Mayer, to investigate Lazarus because Nels knew all about the trouble Lazarus was causing. Mayer was a bumbling fool who ignored Nels, and told him he watches too much TV. The case was handed to Lyle Mayer on a silver platter by Nels, but he was too dense to even go interview Lazarus.

I think he didn't want to be embarrassed by having it come out that he had been having sex with Lazarus while engaged to Sherri and even after Lazarus killed her, he was still doing it with the nut killer.
