Redemption: "I told you so."

He didn't say it, but he might have. Nels Rasmussen held a press conference the day of her court appearance and told the press corps what he'd been telling the Los Angeles Police Department all along: the likeliest suspect is one of your own.

He recounted for the Los Angeles Times the numerous attempts he had made to get the LAPD to take a closer look at the jealous ex-girlfriend of his daughter's husband.
