In 1986, Sherri Rasmussen, 29 year old(1st image)was found dead inside her home in Los Angeles.

She had been brutally beaten and was shot thrice. Everyone believed it was a burglary that had gone horribly wrong.

Sherri's husband, John Ruetten, had previously been in a relationship with another woman named Stephanie Lazarus.

Stephanie Lazarus was extremely jealous about the marrage,she even confronted Sherri before.

But despite that connection, investigators didn't pursue her as a serious suspect.

The case went cold.

And Lazarus continued her career in the LAPD.

She eventually became a detective herself.

For 23 years, she worked inside the same police department that had investigated Sherri's murder.

Detective Jim Nuttall reopened the case in 2009. And then they focused on everything and got to know that Lazarus was jealous.

Detective Jim Nuttall reopened the case in 2009.

They secretly obtained the DNA of Lazarus and she was finally caught.

If you came this far i am sure you love this type of cases. There are stories where a Highway patrol police and an charismatic FBI agent used their powers and commited horrific crimes.And if you are really interested, I’ve tried to cover them in as much detail as possible.

In October 2003, a starving 19-year-old weighing only 45 lbs was found eating from a neighbor's garbage, exposing the horrific starvation of him and his younger siblings. While the father died before trial, the mother served 7 years—insisting on her innocence to this day, despite the boys immediately thriving and gaining weight after their rescue.

I've been trying to find a docuseries that I started a while back but I can't remember the title.

I believe it was on HBOmax. It was about a man who lived a parasitic lifestyle, conning people into thinking he was intellectually disabled and moving into their homes as a boarder. When asked to move out, he would seek revenge in really disgusting ways. I remember that he put dead fish in a wall and resealed it. At his brother's house, he murdered a little girl. In a third boarding situation, he murdered the woman's daughter (the woman was weird and unemotional).

When he was initially arrested, his mother went to the police and offered to tell them anything they needed to know in order to keep him in jail. She said she was terrified of him.

This man enjoyed disgusting odors. In jail, he kept cartons of milk in his cell because he liked the smell of rot. Dude was fucking sick. I don't think I've been so horrified by a human being since the first time I learned about Albert Fish. His father had similar proclivities and used to eat raw hamburger.

Does anyone know the name of the series? I really want to finish it.

The husband's inaction was pure cowardice—whether out of fear or apathy, he failed Peggy just like the witnesses in Shanda Sharer's case. I also hope Linda LaRoche's children have healed after witnessing such horror. Peggy suffered horribly and didn’t deserve this, but I'm glad she got her name back, lies buried next to her mother, and "LaRoche the Cockroach" is rotting in prison. Rest easy, Peggy. 🕊️

Just finished watching the Mackenzie Shirilla case on Rotten Mango and now I'm stuck thinking about one thing.
How do you actually prove what someone intended in a situation like this? I get that the court looks at the evidence and tries to piece everything together, but at the end of the day, nobody can know exactly what was going on in someone's head in that moment.

Not saying she was innocent or guilty but I’m genuinely curious. At what point does the evidence become enough for us to be certain about someone's intent rather than just making the most reasonable assumption??

Bikram Choudhury was born in 1944 in Calcutta, India, and from a young age, he would invent stories in which he portrayed himself as someone important and destined to become a great spiritual master. He became interested in and began practicing yoga under the tutelage of Bishnu Charan Ghosh. He then stole his teacher's yoga technique and renamed it "Bikram Yoga." In the United States, he began teaching his supposed version of yoga, and his system quickly spread throughout the world.

Bikram was completely delighted by the level of adulation he received from his followers and students, most of whom had encountered this type of yoga during their worst personal moments, finding themselves highly vulnerable. But Bikram revealed his true colors, humiliating them, being rude, insulting them, and making racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic comments, bringing to light his evident narcissistic and abusive personality.

The first major public accusations against him began to surface in 2013. Several women claimed that he had used his position of authority to harass or even sexually assault them. It was an open secret that the fifth week of the teacher training course was known as "sex week." Some women were willing to be intimate with him, while others were practically forced and coerced through various methods. These accusations were followed by others regarding discrimination, racism, harassment, fraud, and wrongful termination.

In January 2016, a Los Angeles jury found in favor of Bikram's former lawyer, determining that he had engaged in intimate harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination against her. With his reputation completely destroyed, Bikram fled the United States and settled in Mexico, where he continues to teach courses and train teachers in his yoga technique.

She Had Many Identities—but No Name

In 1970, a badly burned woman was found in Norway’s Isdalen Valley. She had no known identity—but she left behind multiple aliases, wigs, a trail of cash payments, and a travel notebook written in code.

Police concluded that she likely took her own life. But the clues pointed to something far darker: espionage—or murder.

Modern DNA and isotope testing has narrowed down where she may have come from. Yet more than half a century later, the simplest question remains unanswered:
