In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Tony interviews Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, about the case of Sherry Papini. Papini's story resurfaced with a new documentary on Hulu titled "Perfect Wife," from her ex-husband's perspective. Papini went missing on November 2, 2016, after going for a jog, and reappeared on Thanksgiving Day, claiming she had been kidnapped by two Hispanic women. Her story included detailed injuries and branding. However, investigators later discovered that her abduction was a hoax, and she eventually confessed. Papini had manipulated her ex-boyfriend to inflict injuries on her to make the kidnapping look real.

Dreeke discusses the behavioral red flags in Papini's story, noting that abductions by two women are rare and suspicious. He explores the psychological aspects of Papini's behavior, suggesting a pattern of seeking attention and manipulation. The podcast also delves into her alleged abuse of her children, involving inhaling rubbing alcohol to fake illness, which was not prosecuted. Dreeke compares Papini's manipulative tendencies to those of other notorious figures like Ghislaine Maxwell and Lori Daybell, highlighting the potential dangers of such individuals. The conversation raises questions about the psychological and legal implications of Papini's actions and the potential need for further charges or mandated therapy.
