But Marketing Director Christine, 54, who lives in Redding, gives a compelling witness account which may offer crucial new evidence in the case which can't be ignored.
'I saw this blond lady in a blue pick-up truck about ten yards away from where we were parked and I kind of did a double take.'
‘I said, “This looks like Sherri Papini here”, so I walked over, the guys had left the car, I walked over and her window was down a little.
‘It was just odd how the men were coming back and forth, I’m a mom-of-five and I’ve got great women’s intuition and I’m also a survivor, I was held hostage when I was a young girl. Probably my senses were a little bit heightened.’
When Christine approached the truck she said the woman inside looked ‘tired’ and ‘worn out’ and appeared not to have washed her hair in days.
Christine had seen a lot of the news coverage of Sherri Papini’s disappearance in the weeks before and had a good idea what the mom-of-two looked like.
And she was convinced it was the pretty 34-year-old sat in the truck in front of her
‘She was blond and very pretty, and I thought it could definitely be her, she was the right age,’ Christine recalls.
‘I obviously haven’t seen Sherri in person so I couldn’t be 100%, but it was a close enough resemblance that I couldn’t just drive away and have that question mark in my mind.
‘I said, “You look like that woman who was abducted here in Redding, are you okay?”
‘She never answered me, she didn’t answer yes, she didn’t answer no, she just looked at me.
‘And I said, “Are you being held against your will? ‘Do you need me to call 911 right now?” And again she didn’t answer.
‘By this point my mommy’s bonnet was buzzing, I knew something wasn’t right, it was very strange.

DailyMail.com obtained a police log of the 911 call Christine made.
The log states that Christine reported the incident on November 22 and says that when she approached the female and asked if she was okay, the female was ‘evasive’.
It’s not clear what action, if any, Shasta County Police Department took or whether details of the call were even passed to the detectives investigating Sherri Papini’s disappearance.
