When Sherri Papini vanished, she became one of the most recognised women in California. Her photo was on missing posters, details of her disappearance were circulated on social media and news reports gave constant updates on the search to find her.

The whole of the US was asking, “Where is Sherri Papini?”

Papini, then 34, lived in Redding, California with her husband Keith. They’d been married for seven years and had two young children, a boy and a girl. Keith worked for an electrical retailer and Papini was a stay-at-home mum.

On 2 November, 2016, while her children were at nursery, Papini went for a run. When Keith returned from work, Papini wasn’t there and she hadn’t collected the children.

Concerned, Keith used the Find My iPhone app and tracked her phone and ear buds to an intersection about a mile from their home. They looked as though they’d been dropped in a hurry. Papini was reported missing.

Within hours, a huge missing person’s case was launched. Pleas for information about Papini made the national news and her face was splashed across the front pages of newspapers.

Keith made public appeals for his wife’s safe return and her family offered a $40,000 reward. As the community formed search parties, raised money and kept the case in the spotlight, they didn’t give up hope – and that faith was rewarded.

On 24 November, Thanksgiving morning, a motorist found Papini wandering along a road in Yolo County, about 150 miles from where she’d vanished.

She was partially bound with a chain, was covered in bruises and her hair had been hacked off, but after 22 days missing, she was alive.

Papini said she’d been kidnapped and her abductors had released her at 4.30am that morning. She was reunited with her husband and children.

A traumatised Papini struggled to share what she’d been through at first, but soon she told police all about the horrific ordeal she’d experienced.

She said she had been out jogging when an SUV pulled up beside her. She described how two Hispanic women had forced her into the vehicle at gunpoint.

Papini said the women had beaten and tortured her, cut off her hair and kept her chained up to a pole in a closet. She revealed a painful looking branding on her right shoulder that she said had been burned into her skin with a heated tool as punishment for trying to escape.

Papini had also lost weight as she’d lived off one meal a day – rice, tortillas and sometimes apples.

The two women had worn masks or covered Papini’s head, so she couldn’t fully see their faces – but she managed to describe some details so experts could create an e-fit.

She said her captors would play “really annoying” Mexican music loudly and told her they were planning on selling her “to a cop”. But incredibly, she’d been released on the morning of Thanksgiving – pushed from the SUV and left on the highway.

The police made an appeal for information about the two armed females and local Hispanic women feared they might be blamed for Papini’s abduction.

The community was unsettled. Papini had male and female DNA on her which was unidentified. There were no matches on CODIS, the national DNA database in the US.

Meanwhile, Papini was at home trying to rebuild her life with her husband and children. She received $30,000 from the California Victim Compensation Board – some paid for therapy and some paid for blinds for her home.
