Found Alive CA - Sherri Papini, 34, Redding, 2 November 2016 - #15

[creepcrusher]

Not sure why anyone would think the Papinis aren't "too worried" about the abductors. Keith said in the interview that yes, of course he was "terrified" by the knowledge they are still out there.

Despite being in a terribly fragile state emotionally and physically, Sherri has cooperated fully with LE by speaking with them more than once, sessions described by the Sheriff as intensely emotional for Sherri and for the LE interviewing her.

Sherri hasn't gone home, and all 4 of them (including kids) are in seclusion.

What more are they obligated to say or do? Keith has been admirably plain spoken about his feelings. Yes, he feels terrorized by the fact they're still out there, but that feeling is outweighed at the moment by his relief and joy that Sherri is alive, and that he won't have to raise their children without her.

I agree. His first priority has always been to get his wife back alive. Finding the suspects comes next.

On 11/30/16 sheriff gave a presser that is transcribed here http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article118083978.html


I’d like to thank the following agencies for their continued assistance throughout this investigation: The Shasta County Probation Department, the Shasta County District Attorney’s office, The Redding Police Department, The California Highway Patrol, Yolo County Sheriff’s Office, The California Department of Justice, The Federal Bureau of Investigation, AMR ambulance and the Shasta County Search and Rescue team.

ETA also describes evidence collection at the release location.

Hmm... why the Shasta County Probation Department is listed here? Support?

KP told 20/20 the brand was not on her face but did not give any further information on the brand or its location.

His reaction to the branding sure made me think it was in either a large area, a very visible area or both. Glad it wasn't her face though. Poor Sherri.

What I find suspicious right off the hop, is that he uses the "Find the iPhone" app.

You think he would of tried calling her or texting her ... I know it's obvious but he does not say he tries to contact her.

 

[DexterMorgan]

Sheriff said it's not a symbol but a message.

Hubby said the scabs were forming.

So how long does it take for scabs to form.

This should tell us when they branded the message.

Jmo

Because why wait 20 days to brand a message.

Imo . Its like they knew that they had to release her soon for the Thanksgiving Miracle. Idk

 

[tlcya]

I agree.

But let's just forget this . Since this is SP thread and we are off topic with no disrespect..

I think..... they maybe were being harassed by someone. He knew asap something happened to her.

IMO, The family, their FB messages, CG, the anonymous donor and the "reverse ransom strategy" were successful. SP is home!

What do others here think about that and about the abductors. Do you think they accomplished or aborted their objectives?

 

[creepcrusher]

First you must ask yourself. Why 2 females would search for a female in Redding on a rural road; only to drive hours away for simply holding her capitive?

Now sex traffickers usually find their victims online or in high risk areas to leave the police stump with what could have happened.

Plus majority of sex trafficking victims are broken in by men or male captors within a day or 2 of arriving.

So this does seem like a jealousy abduction. Wether personal or non personal.

But imo. These ladies have some ties to Redding. And they could have been hired by a foe of Sherris.


But you still might be right. Maybe 1 said enough is enough and we should let her go because we had our torture fun.

But imo.

Wouldn't SP know that one treated her nicely while the other one was more mean?

I do ask those questions. BUT I also wonder if men were brought in. We don't really know that. The main abductors could've been women, but we don't know if any men were brought into the basement, or wherever she was held. She was there for three weeks. There is information they haven't disclosed to us. They very well could have brought a man in once, twice or ten times. We just don't know.

A message was burned into Papini's skin, Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said.
"I would think that was some sort of either an exertion of power and control and/or maybe some type of message that the brand contained," Bosenko told "Good Morning America." "It is not a symbol, but it was a message."
Bosenko wouldn't specify what the message was, adding only that her alleged captors were "very sick."

Maybe that's why they cut her hair...so she couldn't cover it up. Jeez, I hate thinking about this stuff. I don't ever need to know the extent of her suffering, but I really would like to know who and why. And to see them locked up.

Another great thought tonight, thanks Manormuskeg! What if it was her BANGS that were chopped off because her FOREHEAD was branded? Then that driver that saw s woman with "long blond hair" almost on the highway would still very much be correct!

Why are you saving old bruises? Inquiring minds want to know ...

They probably did work listing and checking out any sexual predators currently on probation for their county.

It's very hard for me to picture two women kidnapping and torturing another woman for three weeks for jealousy alone. If the 2 Hispanic women scenario is true, the kidnappers had to get more out of it than that. Sex and money make the world go round. It has to be one of those two things, or both. If she was transported around during her time in captivity, she was probably brought to different men who like attractive blondes.

 

[Chelly]

My theory is they took her for human trafficking / forced sex work but when they saw the intense and increasing media attention the case was getting they decided to let her go before they got caught, fearing that killing her or not letting her go would keep LE attention on finding them. They probably felt safer letting her go because their faces had been covered, they mostly spoke Spanish, and maybe they threatened her to keep her mouth shut.

I admit a gaping whole in this theory is that they branded her, which isn't something you do as part of a plan to minimize your chances of being caught.

Agree with your theory of sex work. I just can't come up with any other motive. Simply put, the two Hispanic woman were commissioned with bringing back a beautiful, (blonde?) young woman to provide sexual pleasure to their "group parties" where large amounts of cash changed hands. Who knows what could have been done to her if she was a sex slave for three weeks. Perhaps this is where the branding comes in. Sadistic pleasure. Speaks to motive IMO. LE is probably aware of who these groups of people might be, thus their tight-lips at releasing info to the public.

This theory was suggested to me by a CA resident familiar with the demographics in the area.

 

[mahoolin]

Not sure if allowed to mention, but...Anyone else here envision the branding scene from "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"? Painful...but appropriately placed in that case.
