Found Alive CA - Sherri Papini, 34, Redding, 2 November 2016 - #11

Is it possible that LE truly didn't know the extent of SP's injuries (and may still not)? Maybe they heard it from KP but didn't have her have medical records to confirm and so he couldn't comment?
The sheriff did say that they were only given "limited information" during their first few meetings:
"At the time, again, she gave us very limited information of the suspects, and part of that was based on her trauma, emotional trauma"

As far as her husbands latest revelations.......I'm not surprised he did what he did. The accusations and finger-pointing has gotten completely out of hand. What I can't understand, is why the sheriff himself didn't release her physical condition in order to show people her story had validity.

It's not necessary to let loose with every little detail.....but what the husband did was provide proof to a skeptical public that her story was legitimate.........something the sheriff and LE should have done way back on Nov. 24.

All of this silence and secrecy by the supposed people in charge is getting pretty damn old.

IMO, there are specific investigative reasons the SCSO did not release this info. The fact the KP has released this info, may hinder future investigation into the entire story.

Wow, those details of SP and what was done to her - given there isn't any report of sexual assault, if it was women that took her - almost seems like their goal was to scar SP, almost mean girl jealousy "lets make her cry and make her ugly". If she was spotted often jogging, if there was ever an altercation with her and the supposed suspects, just sick jealousy and cruelty, shocked and relieved they didn't kill her . JMO. Poor Sherri wow, I would be moving out of that area asap, how do you ever feel comfortable again??

I posted a while back that the writing from 13 years ago may of been done as a prank. I'm glad to see it confirmed it was so those rumors can be put to rest. My sister in law had a coworker who bullied her. Made escort cards with my SIL's face and number on them and handed them out. And also posted photos of her on a bullying site. It was awful. She was able to get a restraining order but her lawyer told her that there's no way the pictures and disgusting words about her on the site can be deleted. A google search of her name brings it up. I see why web sleuths has the strict criteria it does.

Interesting! Someone finally located her exH!

Wow, so she's not a racist either. Terrible she got painted as one.

I hope this isn't in response to my hair length post. I know very little about this case. I just noticed an odd inconsistency and brought it here to get input. I (hopefully) never engage in victim blaming.

Most of us have this true crime 'hobby' because we are curious people who are attracted by the unknown. After you follow a zillion cases, you start to notice inconsistencies and weird stuff much more easily, and this is a VERY weird case. I don't think there's any harm in continuing to try to figure out what the heck went down, especially if other people might be in danger.

I know some people thinking that pointing out ANYTHING means one believes there's something shady going on, but I've been away from this case for weeks, came back like 20 minutes ago to discover all the news, and just happened to notice how unusual the husband's writing style is (given the various family/victim statements I've read over the years). For what it's worth, I don't actually draw any solid conclusions from it--except that he may be an aspiring writer.

(Additionally, I don't think he was obligated to tell the public anything, so you would have never seen me demanding more details about her physical condition or thinking it was weird that they weren't forthcoming.)

What about the "bag"? Is this why she didn't get a plate number?

 

[missgulfsouth]

The part abt chopping off her hair, quickly made me think a female was involved in that.
imo, females usually fight like that, tugging, pulling on hair when they fight. And in this extreme case
chopping off of her hair..

It's a form of control and humiliation / degradation. Imette St. Guillen's murder comes to mind. Now that was an absolutely exceptionally beautiful woman IMO, and her hair was cut to humiliate her. Serial killers do this often.

 

[glassheater]

God bless you, Sherri. I also feel bad that I was questioning the validity of her story. I learned a lot and from now on, will take Oceanblueeyes approach to not doubting the victim unless there's solid evidence. I'm glad she is alive and back home with her family. And I find KP to be wonderful, he clearly loves her very much.

LE would never condone or EVER admit it even if THEY did know. It's illegal and a huge threat.

Think about it. If ANYONE admitted paying for someone's return (whether it's a reward or ransom) there would be copycats like crazy, trying to earn quick money by abducting US citizens.

If a case this public got away with it, other criminals would be swarming...

It sounds to me as if she had one of those chain belts on like they make prisoners wear to court sometimes. it wraps around the waist like a belt and your hands are cuffed to the chain. With a bag over your head, it would be extremely difficult to get the bag off AND try to wave it with a hand that was chained to your waist.

When the call came through that she was "chained to something", it may have simply been a reference to her own waist that she was chained too.




The above picture reflects what I am talking about. Who would have access to something like that ? LE, prison guards, and prison transport personnel.

Try waving your head bag at passing cars with that get up at 4 a.m. in the morning..

 

[SpanishInquisition]

This is referring to the post supposedly made by Sherri back when she was a high school kid on the skinhead site. It wasn't her that posted it, but a classmate.

If 'she never found out who did it,' how do you know it was a classmate that did it? Why are you saying she was in high school at the age of 21? It seems strange that she would either graduate years late or that she would have so many enemies from high school that she'd be sure it was one of them yet not be able to ID them, especially if she had graduated from high school years earlier as it seems like she would have been the class of 2000.

I was picturing something like that too, but yeah the husband said she used the bag to wave someone down after she was able to free her hand. Didn't he? How would she have gotten loose from legitimate restraints like that?

Edit, yeah, from the statement:

The same bag she used to flag someone down once she was able to free one of her hands.

Is dailymail MSM (re: the ex's comments on the racist blog)? I thought not but now I'm confused.

Yeah there are two things there not making sense: 1. Sherri was not in high school when it was posted and 2. as you say, if they did not know who did it, then they would have no idea if it was a classmate or not.

I am still a little skeptical about this one. The explanation for it does not really make sense.

 

[cocomod]

Couldn't it be true that she had her hair "chopped off" and it was still somewhat long in the eyes of the witness? She had VERY long hair. Chopped off, could be chopped to shoulder length which to a vehicle passing by could still be considered long.

Goodness, I believe she was abducted, held, and tortured. I don't know a lot about this story, but I can give the benefit of the doubt to a victim. Until and unless proven wrong, I think this poor woman is very lucky to be alive and I am SO very glad she is home!!

I think when you hear the 911 call from the woman on the highway you won't hear anything about her hair. I think she quickly found out who it was and just thought she remembered the long hair.

This is what it sounded like to me, too, except I am thinking it might not be a "professional" one, maybe just a chain with a padlock over it? Wrapped around her waist and hands? Yeah, no idea if that would work, but that was my best guess when I read about it.

The DM is MSM yes, but I believe anything related to that topic is currently off limits. Per the post from SB in the previous thread.

ETA, sorry it is in the OP

From here on out anyone who mentions the skinhead site will receive a time out.

Until it is proven there is a connection between the site and Sherri there is no need to discuss this vile place Tricia's post here http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sho...5#post12957265

I'm still in the last thread, but I wanted to address the hospital again. I think most people don't realize what the hospital is used for these days. They admit patients who don't have stable vital signs, and need to be monitored.

A broken nose, bruises, even being underweight, are not reasons to admit a patient. IF low weight caused severe orthostatic symptoms or low heart rate, they STILL might not admit the patient. They would write referrals and make sure the patient receives prompt follow up care.

Again, if Sherri had stable vital signs, and didn't need constant monitoring to stay stable, they would NOT admit her. Our bodies are quite resilient. Three weeks of dehydration and malnutrition, in someone who is otherwise healthy, wouldn't take much to reverse.
