It could have been possibly something between a release and a jump? They were taking her to release her, and slowed way down, and she jumped out?
Okay: she was either kidnapped or concocted the tale with help or alone.
That still about where we're at?
I missed that...thanks for posting.
If she jumped out of a moving vehicle with her hands in restraints in a heavy chain, that could also account for her battered appearance. So it appears we don't even know if she was battered by her captors, or battered during escape from a vehicle. (So was that "released" by one of her captors or escape from a captor? I feel so confused.)
It is not known if Papini knew her captors, was harmed by them or what their motives may have been.
She declined to comment about whether a ransom had been paid or involved in the release of her sister.
Police say that the victim had been 'very emotional' to be freed yesterday and finally be reunited with her husband Keith.
'At about 4.30 this morning, Shasta County Sheriff's Office was notified that Sherri Papini had been located,' police said yesterday.
'We learned she had been released by her captor on a road near I-5 in Yolo County. 'She was bound by restraints but was able to summon help from a passing motorist,' said Sheriff Bosenko.
Did anyone see her jump out of the car I wonder, or did she just say she jumped out of the car? If someone saw her jump out they may have a description of the vehicle.
Plus if she jumped out, that sounds more like an escape than a release...

This reporter states "authorities say Papini jumped out of a car on a rural road . . . "
at around the 10 second mark
Could be a reporter's interpretation of what LE says happened. No actual quote from LE in the video.
Within all of this, SP was taken against her will, restrained, and roughed up. We know zero about the severity of her injuries, when they started, who inflicted them, or how many times the assaults occurred, or how many people were involved. It's possible two Hispanic women in a dark SUV may have been spotted before or after SPs release in the area between Redding (Point of SP missing) and where she was found (bound and chained to something on a rural road off the I-5 in Yolo). THAT'S the kind of information LE is looking for, for THAT area. They aren't asking us to report a spotting in say San Jose, San Diego or Sacramento.
For the moment, that is exactly what I'm assuming. I think the vehicle slowed down and someone in the car opened a door and told SP to get out.
The perps would want to get away soon, so perhaps they didn't even stop the car but kept it moving while SP jumped out.
I can't imagine she could do that - especially while restrained without being injured, though not with life-threatening injuries. It's entirely possible that her battered appearance is from her exit from the vehicle.
Of course, we don't know the whole story, I know that.
jmo
Just a point about the description - if SP was waving a shirt perhaps it was over her head before she left the vehicle and pulled it off and only saw the dark SUV then.
OTOH When AH was kidnapped in Conway NH by Nathaniel Kibby and held in a storage container for 9 months he dropped her off near her home and instructed her to give a false description to police with the warning that if she told who he was he would kill her dogs and her Mom.She did give a false description and a sketch was released. A week later she gave the accurate details as well as his name .
:cow:
Just reading along and I can't make sense of her jumping from a moving car being handcuffed and then chained to a pole.
How does that happen.
I think once again reporters are running with all kinds of inaccurate news.
LE needs to come forward and clear up what happened unless they like this commotion.
Usually LE will protect innocent victims. I'm not seeing that kind of support here.
Something is just off.
