It is around 12 o'clock on a Monday in Van Nuys, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, 1986 Retiree Anastasia Valenitis is at home in her condo, where she and her husband Gus have lived for many years, just doing chores, enjoying her day. She looks up and sees out the window two Hispanic men in work clothes crossing the driveway, coming toward her house. They look like gardeners. The men knock on her door, and when she answers, Anastasia sees one of them is carrying a brown leather woman's purse. The men don't speak any English, only Spanish. After a few attempts to communicate, one of the men just hands Anastasia the purse. She looks inside of it, finds a wallet, and in the wallet, a driver's license. Anastasia knows the face in the picture.

The young woman from Unit 205, directly across their shared driveway. Her name is Sherri something. Her eyes dart over to the name on the license. Sherri Rasmussen, 29 years old. Right, the nurse. She's a newlywed.

Anastasia hands the purse back to the Hispanic man and points him toward Sherri's condo just across the way. Within five minutes, the men are back, the purse still in hand. No one answered at Unit 205

Anastasia takes the purse from the men. She can return it later when her neighbor is home. But her neighbor is home. Sherri has been lying in her favorite bathrobe on her living room floor dead since earlier that morning, her face beaten and smeared with blood. Six more hours pass before anyone finds Sherri.

Outside, the condo complex moves through a normal Monday. Cars come and go through the gate. Neighbors leave and return. School pickups, groceries, a stop at the pharmacy. Inside Sherri's home, the refrigerator hums, clicks off and starts again. On a chair nearby sits a quilt Sherri's grandmother made for her, with sleeves sewn into it so she could wear it around the house when she got cold. Then the phone rings.

It is Sherri's sister, Teresa, calling during her break at work. Teresa leaves a message and says she'll try again later. At 5 p.m., Sherri's husband, John, leaves work. On the way home, he stops for the dry cleaning and picks up a package at UPS. Ordinary errands at the end of what he thinks is an ordinary Monday. And all this time, Sherri is there, lying alone on the living room floor, one eye open and unblinking, the other swollen shut.

At 6 o'clock, John arrives home. Later that night, he tells police what he saw when he walked inside.

Lyle Mayer (4:26)

I mean, it's right in front of me.

Teresa Rasmussen (4:27)

When I walk in the door, I saw her lying on the ground. I knew right away that she was dead.

Megyn Kelly (4:34)

Before the night is over, a Los Angeles police detective will stand in John and Sherri's living room and decide he knows exactly what happened there. He will write it down and he will be very wrong. The truth will remain hidden for 23 years.
