I did my little blog on Cameron but the Daily Beast gave even more details.
Gamble was working on the donor’s behalf, he was also planning his own future. Records show that he registered CameronGamble.com on November 20, while Papini was still missing.
Four days later, Papini was discovered battered but safe on Thanksgiving morning.
A motorist on a rural interstate in California’s Yolo County spotted a woman waving some kind of fabric on the side of the road on Thanksgiving morning. Her hair had been cut short, and a message reportedly branded onto her body, but after a quick stint in the hospital, she was released in stable condition. Papini was home.
Information on suspects is vague. Papini told police she had been kidnapped by two Hispanic women with a gun and a dark SUV. The women hid their faces and often kept Papini blindfolded, she claimed. The alleged abductors’ motives are unclear; they did not ransom her or kill her. Papini said she was thrown from the SUV, her arms in shackles on Thanksgiving morning.
For years, Gamble sold anti-abduction courses, touting his alleged military training. Gamble advertised himself as a specialist in kidnapping-prevention training, although his actual record in that field, and as a hostage negotiator, is vague at best. According to military service records, he enlisted in the Air Force 2002 and was discharged in July 2005. He was a Senior Airman when he was discharged, a rank just above Airman First Class, assigned to work as a vehicle operations apprentice. The Air Force could not provide the terms of his discharge, but bankruptcy filings show he received disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
He often cites his Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape training in online biographies, and the Air Force confirmed that he has completed a Combat Survival Training Course—as do all aircrew members. He also claims to have trained special forces soldiers at Fort Rucker in Alabama, but the Army post did not respond to requests by The Daily Beast to confirm Gamble’s claim.
After leaving the Air Force, Gamble founded multiple companies with military-sounding names including the Catalyst Advanced Training Group and Project TAKEN.
The Catalyst Strategic Group targeted law enforcement with its sales pitch. In one video, he claimed to provide trainings on non-coercive interrogation techniques to state, local, and federal law enforcement when “the Department of Defense mandated all interrogations be conducted in an ethical, non-coercive manner” after revelations of torture at Abu Ghraib. (DoD regulations are not known to affect state or local law enforcement.)
“This new DoD directive left a tremendous amount of governmental and non-governmental agencies at a loss,” Gamble said in a video, posed in front of a fake-looking bookcase background. “The key question became, how does one conduct an interrogation in accordance with the new guidance and policies, while still being able to extract actionable intelligence from a source?”
Gamble said his course had “recently been accredited by the Department of Criminal Justice Services,” but no such federal agency exists.
Project TAKEN, which advertised itself as an anti-abduction training program, made its sales pitch in a series of bizarre video advertisements. In one, a blond female college student walks down the hall, ignoring flyers for “Project TAKEN,” which warns that “50,000 women a year are stalked or kidnapped … You never need us until you do.” The flyer shows a crying woman and Gamble’s black-and-white headshot.
While passing the flyer, the student bumps into a balding man, who stares menacingly at her receding figure. Later, he abducts her in a parking garage and imprisons her in a tool shed, stroking her shoulders with gloved hands while dramatic orchestral music plays.
“It was so easy, taking you,” the abductor tells the crying girl.
Then Gamble’s face appears before the student, telling her not to be scared, and to listen to his instructions.
“We can fix this,” he tells her, adding “but you must do exactly as I say.” The film runs in reverse, and shows the student wisely reading the Project TAKEN flyer, her gruesome fate presumably avoided in this timeline.
In blog posts and on social media, Gamble posted that Project TAKEN is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. But The Daily Beast was unable to locate any 501(c)(3) registration under that name.
In January 18, 2012 tweet, Project TAKEN announced that it had received 501(c)(3) status. “Proud to announce @Project_Taken has just become a 501(C)(3) Non-Profit organization! What does that mean? Free seminars for you!Support us!”
California business records show that Project TAKEN was incorporated January 11 2012, a week before the company tweeted about its 501(c)(3) status. 501(c)(3) applications typically take a minimum of two months to process, and likely longer.
But while evidence of a tax exempt status is scant, Project TAKEN continued to promote its good deeds on social media and church newsletters. In one newsletter sent out under the Project TAKEN name in July 2012, Gamble describes going to Kansas City with his family to work with a girl allegedly rescued from sex trafficking by Exodus Cry Ministries.
“So, as you are aware, we came here as a result of a very significant event that had taken place within the Exodus Cry ministry. They had rescued a young girl out of the horrific sex-trafficking industry, and as a result of this they came under attack,” he wrote in the letter. “Our deciding factor in coming to help was based on this single event that had turned their worlds upside down. It was a death threat against many staff members and their families due to them rescuing this young girl.”
There, too, Gamble thought he had a better grasp on the situation than law enforcement did.
“The first thing I heard the Lord saying was to call off the FBI. What? Seriously Father? The FBI? So… I did,” he wrote. “I had no peace regarding the way they were getting ready to approach the situation, and so I delayed their involvement until I could determine a better course of action.”
The age of the “young girl” Gamble tried to keep the FBI from talking to is not clear. Exodus Cry Ministries did not respond to requests for comment.
Much of Project TAKEN’s work focused on Christian missionaries preparing to travel abroad. On a page for one missionary group, Project TAKEN was billed as “a unique organization focused on training missionaries and ministries to prevent, survive, and escape hostile situations … Cameron’s been training the U.S. Military Special Ops community on survival tactics since shortly after September 11, 2001.”
He promised to bring an added “supernatural approach” when training “those who dare to pierce the darkness with the light of the Gospel.”
Elsewhere, Gamble is described as “training Christian missionary groups how to stay safe while traveling in some of the most primitive and heavily persecuted regions in the world.”
Anti-abduction training did not appear to be a lucrative business. Project TAKEN did not appear to list its prices, and the number of clients it successfully served is unknown. However, the company solicited donations on its now-shuttered website. Contributor levels began at “soldier,” with a monthly contribution of $30, up to “liberator” level, which required a monthly donation of $1,000.
Gamble declared bankruptcy in 2012, just weeks before writing the letter about his excursion to work with a sex trafficking survivor in Kansas City. The filings show that Project TAKEN cost more money than it brought in. Sometimes, months passed without income, as they did for Catalyst. Instead, the Gambles’ main source was income from a rental property.
The organization was also supported by the Redding-based Bethel Church, which featured Gamble and his wife on their website.
“They work closely with Bethel missions, BSSM short-term missions, high-risk ministries involved with human trafficking and churches globally,” the website used to read. “Additionally, they offer in-country resolution for missionaries and ministries that are facing serious threats by traveling to the source of the problem in order to aid.”
The Bethel Church said in a statement saying that “Cameron, his wife, and five children are a wonderful family and valued church members in good standing,” who have trained the church’s missionaries before. It added that the Church receives donations on their behalf.
A church spokesman said the donations went to individuals, not Project TAKEN, when The Daily Beast inquired about the organization’s non-profit status.
In a since-removed post on the Bethel Church Music site, Gamble wrote about traveling to Mexico to help a pastor who had been kidnapped. Details of his substantive involvement in the rescue are scant, but Gamble said that the Christian anthem “We will not be taken” got the family through the ordeal.
Mike Cruz, a pastor from The Stirring church who Gamble said recruited him to the effort, told The Daily Beast he would have to check with Gamble before speaking to the media about the case. When he called back, he said Gamble helped for free, and was not involved in direct negotiations but consulted for the family.
The Daily Beast asked him to confirm a phone number for Gamble.
“I’m unaware if I can affirm that or deny that right now,” Cruz said.
Multiple attempts to reach Gamble by phone and e-mail were unsuccessful.
Gamble’s resume makes him an unlikely hostage negotiator, experts said.
“These types of matters are always better handled by the police, who have time-proven investigative techniques available to them that usually have a successful resolution in the vast majority of cases,” Lt. Jack Cambria, who retired as the NYPD’s top hostage negotiator in 2015, told The Daily Beast.
But the alleged anonymous donor told The Daily Beast that he picked Gamble as a hostage negotiator, after a family friend of the Papinis put him in touch.
Using an anonymous email set up for Papini’s recovery, the donor defended his tactics, using language similar to what Gamble said in his video when talking about potential tipsters.
“These people are also felons, drug addicts and people with warrants out for their arrest that aren’t going to go to the police with the hopes of getting reward money,” the donor wrote. “Offering these people CASH without them having to reveal their identity is attractive.”
Neither kidnapper nor tipster claimed the reward. Gamble said none of the money had exchanged hands before or after Papini’s return, but suggested his method may have brought Papini home. While the role of the unclaimed reward in Papini’s discovery is unclear, Gamble envisions using a similar tactic in other missing persons cases.
“Can it be used again? Can we take this and duplicate this process and apply it to other missing person cases or other abduction cases throughout the world, throughout the U.S. especially, and tweak it to fit the individual case,” Gamble said in a KRCR interview on Wednesday. “The sheriff said this has never been done in the history of the U.S. So we made history, if this in fact is what happened.”
During the search for Papini, Gamble and the mysterious donor clashed with law enforcement, Gamble said. “They’re not happy with us,” he told the Redding Searchlight on November 20.
With Papini returned safely home, Gamble has remained in the public eye. Appearing on a Friday broadcast of 20/20, he defended Keith Papipi against allegations that the family had faked the kidnapping. “Look at the husband,” Gamble said. “He wasn’t faking it. Look at Sherri herself. She’s not the kind of girl who’s gonna walk away from all that.”
He also spoke at a community homecoming event for Papini on Saturday. “At the end of the day, we know who we are, we know what we did to make an impact on this case,” Gamble told gatherers at the event. “And what we did was we rallied the community, and we made it personal for you and you got behind it in a really big way.”
While none of the anonymous donor’s money had exchanged hands as of Wednesday, Gamble told the Sacramento Bee that the donor “will support the family in any way he can to ensure they receive the necessary treatment for their recovery.”
Gamble told the Bee that the donor had returned the ransom money to the bank. Any money the Papini family receives “is really up to [the donor] at this point,” Gamble said.
Lmao really? So if it’s stolen, why are you concerned about it being proven FALSE? 😅😅😅😅😃😃😃🤣🤣SORRY BUDDY, story stays.

Hi, I’m back. Did you miss me? :). I saw this tonight and thought I’d share with you all. But first, Sandrajean, I know what a blog is. I understand why you are pointing that out. And Ericka, thank you for allowing opposing viewpoints in the comments. I know many people don’t do that. “Cameron’s actions as a kidnapping negotiator were perhaps the sole reason Sherri Papini was released from her abductors.
For his incredibly daring actions Cameron was rewarded by being labeled a military fake by many and he WAS NOT. Cameron is owed an apology by those cowards who characterized him a phony and deserves our help to undo the despicable written claims posted against him on the Internet.
Cameron Gamble is a good man. Creative, talented, highly intelligent and undeserving, EXCEPTIONALLY undeserving, of the injustice thrown at his families feet by the uneducated who attacked him and the ones who blindly followed the insanity of the ignorant.”

Hey Sandrajean, yes the conversation doesn’t seem to be going anywhere meaningful. I like and appreciate some of what you have shared in this blog conversation. From my perspective, I see Ericka launching a quite aggressive attack (fraud, fake, phony, liar, buyer beware, cult, sham, etc) against people I know and admire. And when I stand up and say that is wrong, false, and I don’t like it, the responses I have gotten are things like (shut the f=== up, you’re done, walk away now, passive aggressive, hypocrite, false humility, troll, broken-record, and so on). It is a little silly though to keep going back and forth with all of this. Hopefully everything will be cleared up, and whoever was behind the kidnapping will be brought to justice.

Chris your response was just more of the same ol stuff. Seems your contribution is simply keeping an old conversation going back and forth with no real substance other that attempting to get apologies etc. Ericka has said she would accept the truth when it comes out, as I have said as well. Your false humility is predictive and typical. Your wording re the “perceived ” way others read you is just more passive aggressive jargon that never quite hits the sincerity button….just gives you away even more. I don’t need a push pull dialog on this blog that you so disagree with yet continue to add nothing of importance on a moot point . Time will do its job and this Blog will go on.
If you want to be a genuine sheep then please read the book I recommended and be amazed. I’m not interested in the sidetracking that keeps happening re the case this particular post is about. Maybe Ericka will someday decide to post about the sham of organized religion and the effects it has on people with truly good hearts. Then we can blog all day long…i love to dance😉

Hi Sandrajean, I didn’t think I was shooting down anyone’s experiences. That certainly wasn’t my intention with comments I have made. When I look back and read through my comments… hmmm, I can see how they could be perceived as passive aggressive. Most of my comments have been a mix of serious-heartfelt thoughts, and more tongue-in-cheek points. Since we don’t know each other, that was probably a bad choice, so I apologize to you and Ericka for not being more clear, and for coming across as hypocritical, judgmental, passive-agressive. CG doesn’t need me to stand up for him at all, neither does Bethel. I can totally see how me commenting here would be considered “trolling”. I am okay with being called a troll in this case. I also understand that since I completely disagree with the premise of this blog post people are not going to necessarily like my comments, and am not surprised or even offended by anyone’s reactions towards my comments. Today I will conclude my 15 minutes of commenting with a few questions, as a response to those who have commented towards me: 1. Can you see the difference between me asking people to watch a one-hour interview ( youtube videos) that is directly related to this topic from a highly reputable source (Don Shipley), and you asking me to read a book about Christians behaving badly? Although I don’t mind obliging the request when I have time, I don’t agree that I should feel obligated to read it simply because I commented on this blog that people should watch the videos. 2. IF Cameron Gamble is indeed a fraud, then shouldn’t I apologize to Ericka for questioning her character, her research, and trolling her blog? Flipside, IF Cameron turns out to be completely legit AND made a direct impact in saving Sherri’s life, then shouldn’t Ericka apologize for many things she has written against Cameron? That is what makes sense to me.

How about you do me a favor and go get the Book When Bad Christians Happen to Good People and actually read it. I mentioned this before. You hounded us to watch those Shipley vids and we complied. Now please go read this book so you can be convicted on your bad, gamey behavior. You attempt to gain respect by way of your Christianity and yet you are judgmental and harassing. Ericka in no way needs to apologize. YOU DO. Christians like you make others who are or may be struggling with their own faith NOT want to have any part of God.

I think Bethel was financing it and that the LLCs were to put Bethels money thru so the church couldn’t be linked to the property that the shipping containers were on. The county made them take the shipping containers off the property in August 2016. What they wanted to do on the property was missionary training for BSSM and their Anatolian Shepards (140 pound ) dogs got out of control and attacked my neighbor. There is a lawsuit pending.

During that time he began training Christian missionary groups how to stay safe while traveling in some of the most primitive and heavily persecuted regions in the world
Kidnaping and hostage taking has become a multi-billion dollar criminal business, in failed countries, emerging economies and economically advanced countries, including the US. His nonprofit company, Project Taken, specializes in teaching people how to avoid, survive and escape kidnapping and hostage situations. He also works with hostage extraction groups both in the US and overseas, cooperating with law enforcement where possible but also operating in some overseas regions where that isn’t possible.

The mayor when approached by SAC Bee reporter said those of us that think this is a hoax “are trolls.” Missy was asked if she had ever met Sherri? Nope. But wait she tweeted she spoke with Keith and Sherri the day after Sherri was “found”. Odd.
Lisa Jeter you know Gambles friend and friend of Sherris… She was asked pretty much same stuff ” those people will be judged at the gates”. When asked if she had seen Sherri since she returned? Nope. I wouldn’t be surprised if the GoFundme $$$ are being funneled by Lisa to the Papinis.
Oh and one more thing Keith has a degree in criminal justice, yep the very degree needed to get into police academy.. He knows how to pass a polygraph IMO.

Jackie, I like your theory, I was proposing a very similar theory to my husband this morning. My version is, Gamble and Sherri are having an affair–needing cash to start a new life together, they decide to have her ‘kidnapped’ and he’ll save her, bolstering his business. There was never a ‘reverse ransom’ available, that was made up by Gamble. However, the hired ‘kidnappers’ see how much traction the case is getting, and all the GFM money, they say, hey, wait a second – we need to talk about the fee – and they don’t release her ‘on schedule’,. Maybe they mishandle her more than agreed on originally, to boot. Keith becomes aware of some or all of the truth, and goes into ‘protection’ mode, because he seems like the type of guy who’d do anything to maintain his relationship – hence his awful interview that sounds like him telling a story instead of recollecting facts.
Anyhow…it will be interesting to see what the ‘real’ facts turn out to be.

That theory would involve possible blackmail down the road? The two ladies decide they want more, boyfriends/husbands/(girlfriends, not to be politically incorrect) talk them into demanding more. They don’t even need to cross the border again, all online.
I’d believe everyone involved got equal cuts therefore equal consequences if caught.

So the Papini’s and the Gamble’s knew each other…that much is fact because the internet, Thank God, exists.
Damage control has begun by both parties, denying, removing SM postings, changing up Pinterest names, removing blogs from church sites (btw, I read that blog that Gamble wrote before he removed it, he’s a lunatic) that detail how he receives messages from God via supernatural “invisible writing” on walls that only he can see.
Papini’s are tucked away in their luxury log home somewhere away from the media (AND THE COPS)
Here’s my working hypothesis..
Gambles and Papinis are friends and fellow church members of the cult that is Bethel Church
I think probably Gamble came up with the idea since it is after all, his cup of tea
They concoct plan for sherri to go missing and Gamble to swoop in and be the hero.
Gamble has “Latino” contacts in Mexico and easily finds 2 women, for a small sum, to go along. They can easily disappear back into Mexico with none the wiser.
Mexicans that actually LIVE in Mexico and are not part of cartels and such are VERY poor. which might make them easily manipulated for what we would consider a small amount of money.
The anonymous donor is Bethel Church..why not? They KNEW they would NEVER have to pay it. They could have said a million dollars…who cares? No payout EVER.
Keith intentionally sabotages the investigation with his loose lips blabbing
Keith hires PI that is STILL working to spread the word that it was sex trafficking kidnap because after all, if you SEE it enough and HEAR it enough, it becomes the truth even when LE says its not.
Reasons?
Gamble – Fame, money, reputation, building of business
Papini – Fame, money
Please, do not tell me that no one would hurt themselves. It happens everyday, all day long. People shooting, stabbing, hitting, burning, cutting themselves either because they are batshit crazy or for a purpose to further their own agenda, for money, to cover up a crime. Diane Downs shot herself. Darlie Routier slit her own throat and battered her own body pretty severely, Charles Stuart shot himself, Jeff McDonald stabbed himself, puncturing his own lung..you get the gist.
Hopefully LE sees all the threads tying them together and can connect the dots. This ain’t over by a long shot.

They need to go back though social media! Gambles and Papinis are from same rural northern ca area. Same area code. Coincidence?? They knew each other!! The cooked this up. They recently all blocked social media to hide the connection but just like Sherris racist blog this stuff will never go away. Papinis got out of town and I think Gambles need to move too!! In a minute the whistle gonna blow ! 😳

I can’t wait to find out how this bizzar story/hoax ends.
I don’t know if you are familiar with Bethel Church. That freak show is literally monopolizing the town of Redding with businesses, apartment and house rentals, ect.
The people are everywhere trying to convert others to their “cult”. You can’t even walk the many beautiful Trails there or buy an apple in the produce department without one of their members striking up a conversation to pray for you or talk about Jesus.
I’d love to see you do a blog on that Church. I think your readers would find it very interesting.
Thanks for your blog. I’m loving it!
