Sherri Papini was found alive on Thanksgiving morning, three weeks after her alleged abduction. Although the circumstances surrounding the 34-year-old mother's disappearance and return are unusual, Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said he has "no reason to disbelieve" the California woman's story. - Inquisitir\nPapini was reported missing after she went out for a jog near her Shasta County home in Northern California. Three weeks later, she was found injured and alone on a highway about 140 miles away. She told police she had been abducted and tortured by two masked, Spanish-speaking women who kept her chained in a closet, held her at gunpoint and branded her with a heated tool.\nThe accusations led authorities to carry out an extensive search for the\xa0supposed Hispanic captors\xa0that came up empty for several years. She also received more than $30,000 from the state in victim compensation funds. -CNN\n\nSources:s:https://people.com/crime/sherri-papini-people-cover-story-2017/\nCalifornia woman who faked her own kidnapping sentenced ...https://www.cnn.com \u203a 2022/09/19 \u203a sherri-papini-fake-k\u2026\nhttps://people.com/crime/sherri-papini-investigation-update-california-abduction/\nhttps://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/FBI-says-Sherri-Papini-made-up-kidnapping-16980963.php\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZdUfWTmyUs\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGnVbZKytNk\nLearn more about your ad choices.
