Parole rescinded for former LAPD detective convicted of killing her ex-boyfriend’s wife in 1986

LOS ANGELES  — A chance for parole was rescinded Wednesday for a former Los Angeles police detective serving a sentence of 27 years to life in the cold-case killing of her ex-boyfriend’s wife in 1986.

Stephanie Lazarus was convicted in 2012 of killing Sherri Rasmussen, a 29-year-old nurse who was bludgeoned and shot to death in the Van Nuys condo she shared with her husband of three months, John Ruetten. She wasn’t arrested until 2009.
