The shocking nature of a young mother's disappearance in Mountain Gate has the Shasta County Sheriff's Office dedicating nearly all its investigators to the case, a lieutenant said today, as well as some Redding Police Department detectives.
Sherri Papini, 34, has been missing since she went for a jog Wednesday afternoon in the Mountain Gate area near Sunrise Drive.
Lt. Anthony Bertain said that, while all missing persons cases are important, the particularly suspicious nature of Papini's disappearance has his office dedicating just about every employee it can to the case, including some from the police department.
"We have worked all weekend; we have our entire major crimes unit, just about, dedicated inbetween some of the other cases that we've got," he said. "Just based on the way the circumstances of this investigation kicked off, we're handling this still as a missing person at risk. There is some urgency of trying to find Sherri Papini and return her to her family."
