This story has drug dealing written all over it. The guy probably had his goons grab this guy who owed him money, rough him up and do whatever they had to make the guy pay up. Goons took it a little to far. There's more too, the charging documents are from a DEA agent. But the strongest...

I thought the same thing but that's awfully risky to have her visible to passing traffic with a bag over her head. That's a lot of extra time to pull of he kidnapping. The phone being placed on the ground with headphones wrapped around up doesn't support the Hollywood style abduction where a...

My guess would be the kidnappers pointed a gun at her and told her to put the phone down. What doesn't fit with that story would be her her inability to give a better description of the car. If she was ordered by gunpoint she wouldn't have been surprised and would see the vehicle before...

But you specifically said "gang initiation". There is a difference between a crime being "gang related" and a crime committed as part of a gang initiation.

If the abduction motive was revenge or maybe being in business with some bad people it doesn't necessarily mean SP was involved. Somebody close to her could have been the one who had trouble with the abductors. Perhaps SP was taken because she was an easier target. Abducting the person who...

I've noticed Lake has replied to many questions with "can't answer due to ongoing investigation". Maybe this was already answered but I was curious how Lake knows what details are and aren't okay to share publicly. Is Lake using his/her best judgement or did a detective meet with the Papini's...

This scenario seems the most likely IMO. A variation would be somebody close to SP was encroaching on the business of drug dealers (or any other illegal operation) and the kidnapping was meant to send a message to back off. It also makes it clear who is in control. The beating and branding...

I thought LE's statement about the video surveillance to be strangely worded. In his news conference Bosenko said: Detectives showed Sherri surveillance video which was recovered on Nov. 2 of several SUV style vehicles that had been seen in the area at the time of her abduction. According to...

It's really weird. And why is there a CG a self proclaimed "ransom negotiator" involved where there is no demand for ransom? Why does that job even exist in this country? What kind of demand is there for that service? How many legitimate for ransom kidnap pings are there in the US? I...

Would LE knowingly mislead the public about the race and gender the suspects? Can you imagine the controversy if a white man abducted SP and LE let the public believe it was two Hispanic women? Also why would LE withhold information about the suspects and their vehicle? Unless they have a...

They can't be too stupid or inexperienced because they were able to abduct SP in broad daylight and keep her prisoner for 22 days all without revealing their faces or the make, model or color of the vehicle they used. They have also alluded capture for 2 weeks after a kidnapping that is being...

Also if LE had any indication that serial killer or serial rapist was responsible for abducting Sherri and was still at large they would have to disclose that fact to the community. To not do so would be a huge liability.

I'm curious about the link in the post about the sex trafficking arrest. The URL is riversidecountynewssource.org, and the linked story has ties to Riverside county. But why does a website covering Riverside County also have another title bar right below that says "Shasta County News Source"...

In the press conference on the day SP was found Sherrif Bosenko did say they thought the abduction was an "isolated incident." IMO that implies LE has some knowledge of a motive if not then why bother say anything? Saying the kidnapping is an isolated incident would be a huge liability if...

I'm not implying anything, simply stating that the linked article never mentions anything about the girls involved in this sex trafficking arrest being kidnapped. The poster didn't speculate or imply kidnapping they specifically said the suspect was arrested for it, followed by 9 exclamation...

In America we take for granted that a majority of web content especially local news is all in English. English speaking web users don't have much use for web translators. A person who doesn't speak any English and is actively using the internet in this country then I would imagine they are...

I believe the Health App may have to be configured to start tracking motion data. I did it so long ago I can't remember. It is also possible to change the privacy settings on an iPhone so motion data is not saved and older iPhones may not have the Health app. I should also point out that there...

Not sure if this has been brought up but the fact that SP was carrying an iPhone when she was taken will mean LE has access to loads of information about what transpired prior to SP being taken. If you have an iPhone you can see this for yourself. Open the "Health" App (an Apple installed app...

I'm not saying a middle class suburban mom has never been kidnapped and held captive by sex traffickers. What surprises me is how many people posting in this thread that believe sex traffickers forcibly kidnapping women who fit SP's profile is something that happens regularly...

I'm amazed that this notion of sex trafficking where woman are kidnapped and forced into prostitution is so pervasive. This woman Susie says "in the industry". That's what people in LA say when they work in the entertainment business. She may have been pressured to work for an abusive pimp...
