LAPD Detective Has No Idea Her Own Department Just Matched Her DNA to a 1986 Murder

In this police interrogation, LAPD Detective Stephanie Lazarus sits down to help solve a cold case — not knowing she is the cold case. Watch the moment a decorated cop realizes her own colleagues have matched her DNA to a 1986 murder — and the floor disappears right in front of her. This is the interrogation room footage that broke a 23-year silence. In February 1986, Sherri Rasmussen was beaten and shot in her own home. Detectives called it a burglary. For 23 years, her family pushed back — until a bite-mark swab was finally tested. The DNA pointed to a woman. A cop. The same detective who knew the victim's husband. This is what happened when she sat down across from her own department. Subscribe if you follow cold cases where the system itself becomes the suspect.
