Marking the 40-year anniversary of Sherri Rasmussen’s murder, Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes revisits a case defined by power, proximity, and unanswered questions. Vanessa is joined by Carter Roy, host of Murder: True Crime Stories, to break down the earliest moments of the investigation—and the assumptions that steered it off course. From a rushed burglary narrative to overlooked personal motives, the discussion explores how institutional loyalty and perception may have clouded the search for truth. Four decades later, the origins of this case still raise disturbing questions about who was protected—and why.
