On February 24, 1986, John Ruetten came home to his Van Nuys apartment to discover that his wife, Sherri Rasmussen had been beaten and murdered. The Los Angeles Police Department was quick to call it a burglary gone wrong, with no suspects ever being brought to justice. The case went cold, with evidence waiting on technology to catch up. For over two decades, friends and family of Sherri would hold steadfast to the belief that there was something much more sinister to be found than a robbery. In 2009, new detectives with fresh eyes would be assigned the file, and would shock the state of California as evidence would lead them no further than their own front door.   Support the show & also get bonus episodes on Patreon _______________________________________ All music is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution.Measured Paces & Fluidscape by Kevin MacLeod via incompetech.comThe Dark Glow of the Mountains, Cylinder 9 & Temperature of the Air by Chris Zabriskie via via chriszabriskie.com _______________________________________ *A special thanks to CBS 48 Hours "One of Their Own", "In Plain Sight" by Steven Mikulan via LA Mag, Trials & Tribulations blog, The Los Angeles Times & The Lazarus Files by Matthew McGough for providing amazing information that allowed this episode to be possible.
