Everything I am reading thusfar, the Sheriff HAS NOT confirmed the injuries that her husband has stated..
USA today has him directly quoted
"When asked to elaborate on scanner reports that Papini, 34, was found "chained to something," Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko noted Monday that his agency had not phrased it that way.
"We weren't specific on how she was restrained," he said. "After being released, dropped off, however you want to refer to it, she walked to a nearby church, and then nobody was there, and then walked to I-5 near Road 17, where she flagged down a motorist."
While the same dispatch reports indicated she was "heavily battered," Bosenko also would not specify what kind of injuries Papini had. He said she was treated and released.
"We're not providing the details, other than they were non-life threatening and that she was treated and released," he said of the injuries"
Since they are reporting these as direct quotes from the Sheriff, I think we shold hold back on specifically stating that the Sheriff is confirming this. I know in several links I have read that sleuthers have linked it does not say the Sheriff confirms what Keith has said.
Then we have the glaringly "chopped off hair" "Long blond hair" thing going.
Still waiting for more info but my opinion has remained the same.
