An overlooked bite mark helped connect a Los Angeles murder to Stephanie Lazarus, an LAPD detective. But how could that evidence survive while the case was treated as a random burglary in 1986? Sherri Rasmussen was killed in her home, and the initial theory pushed investigators away from a personal connection. Years later, detectives reopened the unsolved case and returned to the bite mark. Bite mark DNA recovered from that evidence pointed toward Lazarus, whose past involvement with Rasmussen's husband appeared in old records. The breakthrough was forensic evidence forcing police to ask whether investigators had missed the key connection. Split CTAs do not use the same long CTA on shorts. Long form end CTA, spoken.
