On Nov 2, 2016, 34-year-old Sherri Papini was jogging near her home in Redding, CA. She was apparently kidnapped sometime between 11am and 2pm.  When her husband Keith came home from work that afternoon, she wasn’t home and hadn’t picked up their two children. Keith located her phone by using the find my iphone app. It was about a mile from their house, sitting on the side of the road with a set of headphones and several strands of blonde hair. But there was no sign of Sherri.

Join us at the quiet end for The Sherri Papini Kidnapping Hoax. On Thanksgiving, after being missing for 3 weeks, Sherri showed up about 150 miles away from where she had disappeared.  She was chained, bruised, and branded. So, what had happened to Sherri? It would take years to fully understand this event, but investigators were suspicious of Sherri’s story from the get go!
