I don't know, I think that putting her two kids in daycare (ages 2 and 4) is certainly indicative of a woman who is overwhelmed and depressed...
How could they possibly afford that when her husband worked (essentially) a minimum wage job?
It's not like her husband was a doctor or a dentist and she could afford to have that luxury.
I just find the daycare thing odd..esp with so much family in the area. From what I can determine, she seems quite "isolated" if she felt that she needed to put her two kids in daycare to get a break.

But Redding is a very economically depressed area. They aren't hurting for workers. When I lived there, someone told me "Redding has a glut of both skilled and unskilled workers." They don't have to pay people more, since there's tons of unemployed people (supply and demand!)
and on her poshmark ? page (one of her websites she was selling things.) she is selling a MAC shopping bad for $3. Who doesn't just throw that away? I don't think that he (the husband) would even work 40 hrs/week at a job like that...someone else commented that this would be a slow time for a job like that - before Black Friday, and all. I wouldn't underestimate the stress of *not having money*
He had a minimum wage job? How do you know that? Their neighborhood they lived in seems pretty nice, kids nicely dressed, both nicely dressed and expensively groomed (they look perfectly coiffed and manicured, which is not cheap), and money to take professional family photos outside. Where is it coming from that the guy is a minimum wage worker?
And why would he only work in Redding? This guy drives around in his work. Wouldn;t he go all over the county? And maybe to other areas as well?
Oh, thanks! Man, I didn't know that! Back to square one on the time thing then I guess!
Respectfully, I put my kids in daycare when I was a sahm. I was neither overwhelmed nor depressed, so your comment is not true of all sahm. There are many reasons we chose to do this on a part time basis, but non were related to mental health. There were many other children of sahms where my children attended. My neighbor owns a local preschool/p-t daycare center, and told me today that half of her 'students' come from families with a sahm.
I think it's offensive to state it 'is certainly indicative of a woman who is overwhelmed and depressed., because she made this choice.
Yeah you know I posted a few days ago that as a family law attorney, I have never ever seen one separating family that used daycare when one parent stayed at home as the cost is too prohibitive on one income. But that does NOT include preschool, which many parents put their kids in at age 3-4. It also doesn't include a couple hours of childcare of a few times a week so mom or dad can get stuff done. Now if she had her kids in daily daycare, all day, especially the little one who is two, that
would be odd to me.
Installing high-end theater systems, in economically depressed Redding?
Honestly: How much of a demand is there for that? That's not a 40/hr week job.
He couldn't make more than $20/hr... With a wife and two kids at home, that's *tight* economically.
Yes he could. I will try to attach.
Well,I talked to my sister, she has two kids *about* the same age...she agreed with me that it was highly unusual to put them in all day "daycare" esp if your husband is not a doctor or lawyer or something...Let's not forget, her husband worked a rather menial job in an area where there's very high unemployment (jobs don't pay a lot --supply & demand) They have two cars, which can be expensive, and they don't even own a home.
My sister's kids are about the same age, 2 and 5.
How do we know the kids went to all day daycare? Or that they went everyday? Maybe she was going to pick them up after her run?
The kids were NOT in full time daycare. They went to a pre school for a few hours a few times per week.

How do we know this?
Am I the only one who finds it strange that we have not heard a word from Sherri's family (other than her sister) nor a word from her close friends. Where are her parents? Friends? Siblings? Even the reward is coming from her husband's family. The Find Sherri Facebook and search efforts are also being driven by her husband's family. Where is hers?
Aww. Greiving maybe? Too distraught to speak out? I rememeber so many families over the years we've looked at in disappearances who failed to enagge with the media, who had nothing to do with their loved one's disappearance. One that really stood out to me was little Emmett Trapp's mother who was contacted by the Nancy Grace show when he was missing and said "please, do not do a story about my son." That seemes suspicious. In fact, he had wandered out of the house and after wandering for hours, succummed to elements. They tracked his little footprints. So sad.
It kind of seems your damned if you do and damned if you don't. Shaniya Davis' dad was very visbile and emotional and he was accused by many on here of being involved even though he was totally innocent. Elizabeth Smart's dad spoke out quite a bit and was accused by many on here of being too wooden and strange. He was highly suspected. And oh my gosh, poor strong and fierce and angry Somer Thompson's mom. She was also accused on here by some of being involved in her precious daughte'rs disappearance.
I really feel sad about speculating or criticizing innocent people who are suffering unless they are doing something concretely disturbing or suspicious.
Husbands statements really bug me:
“If she is listening I want to say, ‘We are trying, we are trying the best we can and I am sorry I’m not there,’” Keith Papini told KRCR-TV. “I’m coming honey. I am trying, I’m doing everything I can and I love you.”
I;m hvaing a hard time undertandiong why those statements are wrong? She's not here. She's "there" wherever that may be. Wherever it is, I;m sure her husband wishes he could be there, rescuing her and protecting her from evil.
Not everyone likes to be out front. I think it's smart to appoint certain people as a public spokesperson for the family. You need only to look at Sherri's Moms Facebook Page to know she is distraught beyond measure and would do anything to get her back.
Bravo. Thank you.
Something is wrong with this picture. IF I get home and my hubby is not there but his car is parked, my first thought would be: car trouble(no missing person or abduction!). Then I will proceed to call and text. Will call kids school or day care to check on their status, husband relatives, his/mine besties, neighbors (if friends with them) and a few of his colleagues.
After failed attempts I would go in full panic and will call police. Would drive around looking for him, etc, calling his name.
...but that's me.
Things that doesn't makes sense:
why tracking her phone before calling friends/family/etc?
why go to tracked phone location without family or friends? (they would have help searching for her or assisting in case of emergency)
why didn't call police from location?
why so willing to bypass warrants?
why offering to take a poly? (yes, I read that HE offered)
Yes, I know he PASSED. Yes, I know people can trick them.
why is it odd that there is a gift? It's all over the news everything is/was peachy on their marriage)
First tv interview: DRY eyes, subsequent interviews; bawling and all I heard was how he felt and hardly mentioned her name.
Big shocker for me: when asked what would he tell her if she were watching/listening: tongue tied..then" I wish I was there, baby? REALLY??? where is that? and adding: "I will find you" We will find you" Really??? where?
If I were working this case I would focus on a few things:
disrupted family routine
how many call/messages from HIS phone to HER phone
in what order he notified relatives and friends and words he used
his demeanor when picking up the kids and what he asked or tell them to explain the delay
what wording he use to explain to the kids what was going on with their Mommy
why he is not showing on the prayer service that was celebrated on the church they were married? The news reporter mentioned they PHONED him. Is it far from his home?
Finally, just wondering is a pregnancy status fits the "at risk" label.
They confirmed she has no healthy or mental issues.
Thinking, pondering and praying
He's been cleared. That's totally rare in these cases. Cleared is a big word.
On another note, what actual evidence is there that she may have harmed herself or took off? I mean, I agree that those are theories that LE obviously needs to thoroughly explore. But what actual evidence do we have at this time to convicne so many people that this is the most likelt scenario? That she put her kids in daycare and undertermined amount of time, we don't know even if weekly? That she's been described as a "supermom"? That she looks very attractive and has "perfect" photos with her handsome husband and beautiful kids? None of that is evidence. None.
Evidence would be:
1. There were calls to the home because Sherri was acting strnage or thereatning self harm.
2. Sherri was known to mkae up stories.
3. Sherri had a pattern of avoidance.
4. Sherri had a mental health diagnosis or a sudden, negative stressor like a medical diagnosis, sick parents, breakup, etc., or a long term intense stressor like harassment, domestic violence, poverty, affair.
5. Sherri had been doing things out of character for her that day or in the months before the disappearance.
6. There is or has been suspicious bank or credit card activity that appears to be by her.
7. Sherri's has made statements about being stressed or unhappy or having problems.
Etc.
Until I see something like that, I can;t understand feeling that this is the best possibility of what happened to her. It certainly is one - it does happen and it needs to be considered - but the most likely? Hmm. That doens't seem logical to me.
