This 4:14 minute video is amazing (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-lapd-lazarus-20101124,0,5932698.story), it gets downright chilling at during the final seconds.

Stephanie Lazarus, the Los Angeles police detective charged in the 1986 murder of an ex-boyfriend's wife, admitted to investigators the morning of her arrest that she had confronted the victim on multiple occasions, but denied having a role in the killing, according to the transcript of her interrogation

I've read, watched and heard a lot of interesting cop stories, this one is up at the top of the list as fascinating.

This first video is tricky... (http://www.latimes.com/videobeta/?watchId=c82f51a9-a6ee-48fc-b367-2dbfed80cef1)

within an hour she is booked and being held on $10 Million dollars bail.

On several occasions, Lazarus asked the detectives the reason for the questioning. They repeatedly assuaged her concern by telling her they were just doing their jobs and saying that they had brought her down to the jail to spare her the embarrassment of being questioned in the office.

When it became obvious to her that she was a suspect, Lazarus told Stearns and Jaramillo that they were "starting to make me uncomfortable" and asked whether she needed a lawyer. They told her she was free to leave if she wanted. When Lazarus did leave, she was intercepted by other detectives waiting in the hallway.

As Lazarus sat handcuffed, the transcript showed, one detective loosened her handcuffs and Stearns told her they would put her jacket over the handcuffs to conceal her arrest.

At the end, as she was waiting to be booked, Lazarus struggled to remove her wedding band. An unidentified person offered her advice: "Saliva works wonders."
