Okay guys let’s talk about this. I think people are starting to turn away and maybe starting to believe a little bit more about the supposed or alleged attack on her. Listen whatever you believe that’s just going to have to be it and I can’t change your mind. But I want to present this and ask you what you thought about it.
Missing California mom Sherri Papini was reportedly chained and beaten up when she was discovered on the side of a road after mysteriously vanishing while jogging three weeks ago, according to The Sacramento Bee.
Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko has previously said that Papini, 34, was bound with restraints when she was found on County Road 17 in rural Yolo, California, around 4:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving day. However, The Sacramento Bee reports that a radio dispatcher initially said Papini was “chained to something” when she was found.
“CHP is on scene and advised that she is chained to something,” a radio dispatcher told a responding officer Thursday in an audio clip obtained by The Sacramento Bee. “CHP is advising that she is heavily battered.”
Bosenko has said Papini was being treated at a hospital outside of Shasta County for non-life-threatening injuries, but no details of her condition have been released.
Calls to the California Highway Patrol for comment were not immediately returned.
At a news conference Friday, Papini’s sister Sheila Koester declined reporters’ questions about her sister’s condition, and what happened in the 22 days she was missing, according to a transcript of the press conference published by CBS Sacramento.
Koester also said she didn’t know any details of the ongoing investigation. While she said Papini has been reunited with her husband, Keith, Koester didn’t reveal if she has seen her two young children.
“Right now she has been through a very traumatic event and needs time with her family,” Koester said.
In a phone interview with The Sacramento Bee Friday, Koester said this has been the “most amazing Thanksgiving that our family could ever ask for.”
“We’re all very, very, very excited, very, very relieved and just very thankful for getting our Sherri back,” she said.
…
Sheila Koester Sherri’s sister gave an interview. Here is the complete transcript below.
,
“Hi. My name is Sheila Koester. I am Sherri Papini’s sister.
Before I say anything, I would like to share with everyone that I am 6 months pregnant, and please be mindful of my emotions. This has been a traumatic event for all of us.
As many of you know, Sherri has been returned to our family safely. She and Keith have been reunited. They appreciate the tremendous support that everyone has given us over the last few weeks and appreciate how respectful people are being to their privacy and allowing all of us to recover from this situation.
Keith and Sherri only have one statement at this time:
‘We are overwhelmed with joy of how supportive everyone has been to help bring us together as a family again. We especially would like to thank the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office, The NorCal Alliance for the Missing, the Lost Coast Trackers, Shasta Support Services, the Guardian Angels — our A-Team — the California Highway Patrol, Yolo County Sheriff’s Office, the medical personnel that helped Sherri that morning, and the whole world that reached out to help find her.”
Everyone’s tireless efforts has made our family whole again this Thanksgiving. Thank you for allowing our family time to heal and for giving us our privacy. Your help in keeping this alive through social media and national news was an intricate part in bringing her home to us. We cannot thank you enough.’
Right now she has been through a very traumatic event and needs time with her family. Thank you all for coming, I have time for a few questions.”
Reporter: I know you mentioned she was back with Keith…has she been reunited with the kids yet?
Sheila: That’s not a question that I have an answer to at this time.
Reporter: How is she doing physically? We understand that she had some injuries.
Sheila: She’s very excited to be home. So that’s all that I can say at this time.
Reporter: You said that social media played a role in possibly Her release. How did that play a role in the case?
Sheila: I don’t have any details into the case. I just know that getting her face out there was the best thing that anyone could do.
Reporter: Where were you and when did you learn of the good news?
Sheila: I heard on Thanksgiving morning that she was found.
Reporter: Did ransom play a role?
Sheila: I don’t have any details of the case that’s going on at the moment.
Reporter: Have you seen her, and if so, could you describe the reunion, what that was like?
Sheila: I’ve seen her and it was a very joyous reunion and we were just very very excited to see one another.
Reporter: Have you been able to talk to the people that she flagged down on Thanksgiving morning? Did she or you, anybody have a message for them?
Sheila: I know that we’re just very excited that somebody was able to come in contact with her. And we appreciate all the help that everyone has given.
Reporter: What is your hope, there are, according to her, two women out there, what is your hope? Do you hope we catch them? They are considered dangerous, I imagine.
Sheila: I don’t know any details of any part of the investigation that’s going on and I’m just concerned with the healing of my sister.
Reporter: Has she said anything about anything that she went through those 22 days that she was missing?
Sheila: We were just joyous to see one another.
Reporter: It happened so close to her home. Is she there, or is she afraid to be in that area right now?
Sheila: That was not a conversation that we had.
Reporter: I know that she was a dedicated mother. Was she employed in some other fashion? And second, that, as a family have you have you been discussing who may have had a motive to do something like this?
Sheila: That would be a question I would ask Shasta County sheriff’s office.
Reporter: Was she employed?
Sheila: I don’t have an answer to that question.
Reporter: What is she doing today? What’s her day like today?
Sheila: I know…I don’t know what she’s doing at this time. I know that she’s with Keith and that they’re being reunited.
Reporter: When will she return home?
Sheila: I don’t know where they are at this time.
Reporter: And she hasn’t been reunited with her children yet?
Sheil: I know she’s been reunited with Keith.
Reporter: What have the last three weeks been like for you and your family?
Sheila: It’s been a range of emotions and sadness, anger…right now it’s just joy — lots and lots of joy that she’s here with us.
Reporter: Do Her children understand that she’s back home?
Sheila: I can’t answer that question. I don’t know.
“I want to thank everyone for coming.”
…
The the worst interview ever. Was this a complete waste of time or what? I understand she’s pregnant and she wants to keep her emotions under control. But where is this Rod Rodriguez the third when we need him? He’s been all over Facebook, but I have not seen him on my side for the last few days. If she could not give the interview or answer any valid questions, why even bother doing it? Why didn’t the mother or the father or someone else give the interview?
Its clear she’s lying and being extremely evasive. I think these people want us to beg him for attention.
I know there’s things they still aren’t telling us. People still believe it was a kidnapping.

This story is beyond bizarre! I will admit that I watch too much ID channel. I’m a wannabe detective and a skeptic, but I’m also a logical, reasonable, and sensible person. There is nothing logical or sensible about this case. Sherri wrote a blog on skinheadz about fighting a Latina for harassing her father while in high school. She stated it took 3 grown men to pull her off the girl, so it seems she wouldn’t be easily subdued and kidnapped as an adult woman who is fit, healthy, and young. And her husband stated she is always alert and aware of her surroundings while outdoors. Also, after she was located, husband initially said that he arrived to Sherri before the Sheriff arrived. How is this possible? They live in Shasta County and she was located in Yolo County. More recent reports indicate that the Sheriff told him to “brace himself” before allowing him to see her at hospital, which means Sherrif arrived before him. Every report is contradictory and vague, nothing adds up or makes sense. For a husband and family that was devastated and traumatized by this 3 week ordeal, why are they doing interviews? He should be at home comforting his wife and children. He should be demanding privacy from the public and the press while she is healing. Nobody in the family should be speaking out while the investigation is ongoing. And who is the mystery person that offered $50K and then $100K reward? The reward money was coincidentally rescinded the day before she was released. Also, hubby He promised kids that Mommy would be home for Thanksgiving, and voila she mysteriously appeared on Thanksgiving Day. This sounds like a scam to raise money and obtain notoriety and sympathy. The Go Fund Me money should be returned to donors. Shasta County and Yolo County are both very small town rural areas, so it’s likely the investigation will be filed away soon, without any resolution, but I hope we all learn the truth soon. In the event that I’m wrong, I will gladly and humbly apologize for my comments.

This story just keeps getting stranger! Read GMA’s “EXCLUSIVE!!!” with Keith describing Sherri’s ordeal. Honestly sounds like a work of fiction to me, great writing! Then there’s Sheriff Bozenko “confirming” what Keith said. How about that Cameron Gamble said that Sherri might get the reward $$, to go with the Go Fund Me bringing a possible grand total of $100K?! Finally, that “eyewitness” Christine Everson – if I’m at a rest stop and see (Sheri or) someone that looks like she’s in trouble and/or suspect human trafficking, I’m not going to waste any time or risk my life or anyone else’s by sauntering over for a chat!! I’m going to call 911 IMMEDIATELY!!!!! Whoever was at that rest stop could have been rescued right then & there!!! And Christine was supposedly a past victim herself?!?! She’s either really stupid, or made the whole thing up to claim the reward money.
Still not believing ANY OF THIS. “Manufactured Content”!!! The real question to ask is – what else is going on in the world that this is a distraction from?????

NYer: I also agree the Sutton comment was not a plant. I can’t picture the area she was found on (I’m on the east coast), but if it’s a highway I could imagine going by it so fast, seeing something very out of place, taking 30 seconds to think about it, then realizing, “oh shit, I should have stopped….I’ll at least call someone.” Maybe that road had a cement median and the caller couldn’t turn around?

To Wondering Aloud: Thank you for posting that. I saw the first comment, but knew that page was not the official “Find Sherri” page so I didn’t even believe it was genuine. Then later I went back and saw the part about a “female’s worst nightmare” had been deleted. I didn’t know why, but your explanation provides the reason. There are so many people out there who don’t research for themselves and would think that was an official statement from the family. I still have seen NO family members stating she was indeed kidnapped and/or “released.” That’s because she wasn’t, in my opinion. And, the reason we haven’t heard from them anymore is probably because they are embarrassed and/or really annoyed with Sherri, as they should be.

Eh, I’m not turning into a believer. There is just so much BS here. Even the “rescue” story is inconsistent.
I’m not sure about the Sutton comment being a plant. If you report a crime and can’t stick around, you want to know how it turned out and let people know you tried. There should be a log of her call, maybe I’ll try to find it.
Which reminds me — I’ve seen reports that Keith reported her missing, but I’ve only seen the log with the mother’s call. After that, Sherri’s parents didn’t say a word for two weeks. But anyway. And then we have Rod Rodriguez who can’t keep his trap shut. Which is good for those of us who want to know more.
I really have the feeling that LE knows there’s some bullshit afoot. They probably have their hands tied (haha) as to what exactly they can say to the public. But I’m sure they’re giving these folks enough rope to hang themselves.
Judging from comments, most people aren’t buying it. I know Ericka has to be careful what she puts in print, but I’m glad we have a place to air our suspicions and theories. The same thing happened during coverage of the Kim Kardashian robbery in Paris story — journalists had to adhere to the official story, but the comments were skeptical and picking at the holes in the story.

I noticed an interesting FB comment today from someone I believe is her father in law. A Sherri papini FB fan page posted the following post “We understand that many of you have questions and those questions will be answered in the days ahead. Please know that Sherri was abducted and experienced a females worst nightmare, far worse than you can imagine. Please keep her in your prayers, because she needs them. She is strong and with God’s help can recover from this traumatic experience, but it will be very, very difficult. If you don’t have something positive to say, please don’t comment. When the family and law enforcement can share more, they will.”
Someone named Rod Rodriguez III commented the following”This post from “Sherri Papini” should have never been made due to some of the statements it contains and I’m very disappointed that it was and request it be deleted. This Sherri Papini account is NOT operated or maintained by the real Sherri.”
I was just wondering what statements he didn’t agree with. That she was abducted? That she experienced a woman’s worst nightmare? That questions will be answered in days ahead? Or all of the above?

In both of the interviews given by the sister, the words “abduction” or “kidnapping” were not used even once. I’m 100% convinced Sherri was not kidnapped. If it’s true she attempted to fake her own abduction 10 years ago, it makes it even more likely. That is not a normal thing to do even once in your life. This woman needs help.

There are so many elements of this story that don’t add up. But the ONE THING that sticks out is that there is NO evidence that any of it is real. No Facebook profile? A “supermom” would have TONS of photos of her family on Facebook!! No pictures/video after her “rescue”?
I have 3 theories:
a) either she knew her captors from the past
b) this is a story she made up
c) this is “manufactured content”
A wise sage once opened my eyes to NOT believe anything the mainstream media says!
And just throwing this out there, from the beginning that husband Keith looks like a Hollywood B list actor that I just can’t place who exactly he is.

I think this sister was probably not in on it, but suspects something is up, and was held back from better answers by an attorney’s advice. I think the police will find out Sherri has been up to something other than being held captive by two Hispanic women. It’ll be an interesting episode of some series on ID Discovery that ends with her sentencing.
