DNA evidence from a bite mark on the victim linked an LAPD officer to Sherri Rasmussen's murder
After three months of marriage, Sherri Rasmussen and her new husband, John Ruetten, were happily building their life together. Having tied the knot in November 1985, they spent the Christmas period at family gatherings, and as the new year began they looked towards their future with excitement.
When they met, there was an instant connection. John was smitten with Sherri, who was an athlete like he was. She was tall, charismatic and so talented that she was fast-tracked to become director of nursing at a medical centre. John got a position at an engineering company and the couple got engaged. He bought Sherri a BMW as an engagement gift.
By February 1986, John and Sherri were living in a condominium in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. On 24 February, John left their home for work, but Sherri, 29, was uncertain about whether she was going to her job that day.
She had a company speech to do at work, which she was uncomfortable with, so she told John she might call in sick to avoid it.
Later that morning, John called his wife several times with no answer. Sherri's sister called her too without any luck. Both thought it was unusual that the answerphone wasn't on because if Sherri went out, she would always put it on.
When John returned home that evening, he saw the garage door was open and there was broken glass on the driveway. Sherri's BMW was missing. Inside, John found Sherri dead on the living room floor. She was still dressed in nightwear and a dressing gown.
She had been beaten and shot three times in what appeared to be a violent struggle.
