Parole Revoked for Ex-LAPD Detective Convicted of 1986 Murder

Stephanie Lazarus, found guilty of killing her ex-boyfriend's wife, will remain imprisoned after parole decision reversal.

Stephanie Lazarus, a former LAPD detective, was denied parole for the 1986 murder of Sherri Rasmussen, her ex-boyfriend's wife.
The California Parole Board reversed an earlier decision that found Lazarus suitable for release, citing lack of remorse and the gravity of the crime.
Lazarus was convicted in 2012, 23 years after the murder, following DNA evidence linking her to the crime scene.
Rasmussen's family expressed relief at the decision, having argued that Lazarus manipulated her police skills to cover up the murder.
Lazarus had previously been granted parole due to her young age at the time of the crime, but this was challenged by Rasmussen's family.
