She should never get parole. She was free for nearly 3 decades so that should count as her “parole” imo. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@stephaniejames4940]

She should've been investigated much earlier than they did. She was a suspect way back when and they ignored it.

[@justChrisjones]

Im glad she did not get out.

[@stansbornak8116]

Crazy eyes!

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

LOL! I was literally thinking that when I scrolled down and read your comment. She must be a freak in the sack because I wouldn't feel comfortable around her looking at me that way.

[@WithoutRemorse12]

The dude who she was obsessed with literally told his friends she could never be his girlfriend because she has a butter face.

[@eternus154]

Aileen Wuornos eyes?

[@maryoaks3228]

To say the least p.

[@AlmightyLoud]

“i mean cmon”.. *skips to her in cuffs for murder*

[@jadechanboon]

Her colleagues let her free for 20 years They need to be brought to justice

[@Ashnod24]

She should stay in. Or we have to wonder who she will go after. Because she must be pissed and she isnt able to let go. So better keep her in for a long long time

[@Fat12219]

😢

[@stephaniejames4940]

I remember when they finally caught up with her. Husband still sus to me especially after dating this thing after the wife was murdered.

[@madero-jb5ri]

I didn't know Xena went rogue.

[@Shellbound]

Awesome interrogation on JCS

[@leeeinfield]

I see you’re a woman of culture as well

[@giftedgreen2152]

This is why I’m single.

[@HB-gj7gd]

no its not - what a dumb thing to type

[@TravisRhettWilson]

What a stupid thing to RESPOND. HE'S RIGHT. THIS IS ASO WHY I'M SINGLE. ​@@HB-gj7gd

[@mikemiller659]

me 2

[@ElyseLucile]

I hope she rots in prison for the rest of her life. "Hiding in plain sight" is not accurate. More like the evidence was hiding in an LAPD cold case box There were multiple contacts made by the Rasmussen family over the years, which were ignored by the LAPD. including stalking behavior.. The bite mark DNA was conclusive, but there was quite a bit of circumstantial evidence, if only they cared about this family who was left to grieve for 26 years.

[@daisymae3883]

Exactly. The woman was jealous and resentful that she was overlooked. She got to go on with her life, have a career, get married, and have a family while the other poor woman was murdered. She deserves life in prison.

[@SarahAndrews24]

The husband was not even worth it. He moved away quietly and moved on.

[@airtioteclint]

What was he supposed to do. Go back to her and visit her in prison? You don't sound worth it.

[@lowpro4650]

Seen those eyes and immediately knew she did it😂

[@airtioteclint]

That's a crazy Karen right there. Some get jobs at HOA. Some as apartment managers. Others as LEO.

[@MissMeggypoo]

I recommend that y’all watch The Behavior Panel’s analysis of her interrogation. Her facial expressions get more and more weird and animated as time goes on. 😂

[@Alaric-u9i]

Only if they would get the rest of LAPD

[@skatelisa]

Ain't that the truth

[@matw1x]

Stay single fellas. Never settle.

[@hoosierdaddy8002]

Scary she looks like my old neighbor.

[@Fat12219]

😂 neighbor 😮

[@albeit1]

Bosch figured it out in 1987.

[@annepierredathie]

She was a suspect years ago, they deliberately suppressed evidence, I don’t believe for a minute the husband didn’t know or suspect either.

[@steveh5882]

Too many psychopaths in law enforcement.

[@chuckxu5910]

She didn’t hire Johnny Corcoran OJ’s lawyer, that’s why she’s in chino penitentiary for woman

[@Fat12219]

Chino penitentiary inmate !

[@GreatBunny]

Would this guy let her talk?!

[@suzakukururugi6613]

You forgot to say that the reason she wasn’t investigated was because she was the detective for the case, conflict of interest.

[@carlavaladez2781]

DENIED !!!!

[@merlindragon3172]

CAN SHE KEEP IT A SECRET!

[@paulforder591]

I'm glad she never got parole. You can see the craziness in her eyes.

[@reefk8876]

Legendary interrogation..

[@user-gj1ld4uw9v]

Crazy Eyes

[@mikecasto4746]

[@DevanteHarris-n5c]

[@chelisue]

This one should never get out

[@davidwright873]

[@vibeofthee80s_]

[@RichardYbnez]

[@khrcar6596]

Just so very sorry this woman lost her life & glad that her demented killer remains behind bars… hopefully for the remainder of her life ….

[@shooshatowers8059]

Free the Menendez Bros. instead.

[@danielceballos6559]

I remember her episode on the series Snapped

[@kyliefire5008]

Characters and storyline? A real person was killed. Ppl are so sick.

[@MissMeggypoo]

How else should they describe it? 🧐

[@ANDREA.363]

[@Goodguy1ful]

[@Pazuzu-2048]

Stephanie is innocent! Leave Stephanie alone!
