In 1986, John Ruetten was leaving his home for work when his wife, Sherri Rasmussen, said that she felt sick and would be staying at home for the day. But upon returning home later in the evening, John would find the garage door open, his wife's car missing, and a huge mess throughout the house. Tragically, he would also find Sherri lifeless on the floor, in what appeared to be a burglary gone wrong. 

Investigations would investigate this lead in the coming months, citing the crime as part of a spree of burglaries within the area. However, more than 20 years later, a deeper look into the case would support a different theory; one that was closer to the police than they initially thought.
