Stephanie Lazarus

In another stunning betrayal of the LAPD badge is a case that seems lifted from a Michael Connelly novel. LAPD detective Stephanie Lazarus has been charged with the 1986 murder of nurse Sherri Rae Rasmussen in Los Angeles.

After a 23 yr. search for the killer, Lazarus, now 49, was arrested on 6.5.2009, at Parker Center. Sherri Rae Rasmussen, at the time of her death (the DNA came from a bite mark) was newly-wed to a man named John Ruetten, once Stephanie Lazarus’ boyfriend.

The apparent centerpiece of homicidal jealousy, Ruetten must have been really something!

Up & Down…..

working, craving In-N-Out burgers, and reading all of Michael Connelly’s LA crime novels. He’s great, like a contemporary Raymond Chandler.
In Sept., at the beginning of the stock market crash, financier to the TV-set, Suze Orman, said the Dow would sink as low as 6500 or even 6000. She was right. I also recall a woeful-looking Jim Cramer saying “Sell all your stocks, now!!!” He was right about that. Obviously, pressured to backtrack on that statement, all he does now is whine about how everything’s the fault of Obama’s policies.
Did anyone really think the worldwide financial crisis would all be over on Jan. 21, 2009, the day Barack Obama was inaugurated?
