Hubby said that he could feel the scabs growing under his fingers when he touched her. Was he talking about scabs from being branded or something else?
I don't understand the chain around her waist at all in a car...child proof locks are standard I'm most cars since the Edsel. I guess if they really had it all thought out and had her waist chained to something under a seat...but that would be awkward. Hog tying seems eaier...not that I'd know...jmo
Good critical thinking. Several members on the thread now live in CA or have resided there before. I spent a nice long vacation in Napa Valley after flying into Sacramento International. S is like so many other large cities in America where we find blight, barren and crime-ridden demolished areas. Napa, otoh, is totally an escape from the hustle and bustle although I have not returned since the devastating wildfires.
Could the Hispanic captors have been field workers or grape smashers for one of the many vineyards? We really need to narrow down this basement thingy. I read last night, in one of the multiple online news articles, that someone posted a link to, that SP was held in a basement; however, it was not in quotes.
Do the homes in and around Napa have basements? I would say, "O, heck, yeah! Duh." Wine is stored in basements in Napa Valley and, of course, other grape growing areas in CA, too. The best asparagus I've ever eaten was grown fresh in this area.
Because of HIPAA law, ER staff is not permitted to give out that info over the phone to anybody except LE. And even then, it requires a process of verification (even if the ER staff personally knows the LEO on the other end of the phone).
Speaking of the police logs, did I read somewhere that KP's call on 11/2 to report Sheri missing was not electronically logged?

Sure. There has been speculation that during the 20/20 interview the interviewer gestured possibly indicating where the brand was and I believe that is the left forearm. The brand is possibly significant in this case for a number of reasons not the least of which is who is the message meant for.
Now we all do something that we never pay attention to or have to think about. Whenever we are doing something with our hands we are almost always using our dominant hand and if we are ever actually looking at what we are doing that is also the hand/arm that we will be looking at. It will also be the hand/arm others will see while we are doing something in front of them.
So, if you want to have someone actually be able to receive this message (read it) you would put it where it most likely would be seen - especially if the message is meant for the victim. Left-handers are uncommon, so why the left arm?
Was the placement of the brand arbitrary? You get one shot at putting it exactly where you want it.
I am also keyed into what KP said about the left arm being the one chained to something in the car and the other to her waist. In order to hook up the left hand, for example, if done from the passenger side of the vehicle it would require one of the perpetrators to reach across someone (that might just decide to fight for their life) in order to do it. Otherwise that would have to be done from the driver's side. So, why chain the left hand to the inside of the vehicle? Why not the right?
Now, it would only be significant to me if every time Sherri was moved in a car it was always the left hand that was chained to the inside of the vehicle.
By the way, all of this is moot if she is not left-handed and the brand is not on the left arm.

Why hasn't the 911 call been made public yet from the truck driver?? We've heard the call between dispatch and CHP, but what about the initial call made? And I'm beginning to doubt the Sutton woman's account, unless her 911 call is released. She could've inserted herself for attention, that happens, even on a smaller level like a comment on the Help Find SP Facebook page.
I'm truly surprised the truck driver hasn't come forward, unless he's from an area not around here and not aware of the media about SP. Some folks don't keep up with current events in the news and don't use social media. He could've been passing through and not from around here at all. If he is aware, LE could've told him not to speak to media or he could be arrested for hindering an investigation.

Hi DeeDee,
My previous career was in the wine industry. I lived and worked in SF, Napa, Sonoma for quite some time. I have never been in a home in Northern California that has a basement. This is due to the constant earth movement that occurs in the region. Although you do find wine caves these very rarely have any structure build atop them. There are exceptions - such as Opus winery...but this is an exception. These caves are dug and shot-crete is blown to create the walls. Not only does this material breath but it also can give and take with the earth's movements.
Regarding the vineyard workers. They are seasonal workers that don't live in the U.S and have a culture all their own. Generations of men and women have worked in our fields. And they are proud of their work and extremely accomplished. Very few live in this country. They earn money and wire it home weekly. Often their families will live the remainder of the year on the proceeds of one season's work. I spent many seasons worked with them ,side by side, in the fields. They won my admiration, my respect and taught me how to take pride in my work - no matter how menial.
These are not the type of people that are involved in gangs or sex trafficking. They might get drunk and get in a little bit of trouble...but that's it. They would have to know people in the US, have a car, have a cell phone..and often they don;t have these things.
Got a little carried away...sorry such a long post. Very nostalgic![]()
What
if she were being held in a tornado shelter or a bomb shelter; or even a survival bunker?
I am also keyed into what KP said about the left arm being the one chained to something in the car and the other to her waist.
Something tells me that a person who abducts a woman and beats her for three weeks isn't going to be the kind of person who "has guests over for Thanksgiving."
More than likely he or she ate a Hungry Man microwave dinner in solitude, followed by a 12-pack of beer and passing out on the couch. But that's just me.

It would help to know what transpired at the point of abduction. If the driver stayed in the vehicle, for example, there could be some risk in putting an unrestrained victim (at the point of entry to the vehicle) right behind the driver.I'm assuming it's because she sat behind the driver so the passenger in the front seat could turn and watch her. Then again Sherri might not have been alone in the back seat. I pictured her chained to the door. Maybe door handle?
I disagree 100%. Many serial killers, rapists and other criminals, have been known to carry on very normal social lives, between crimes.
"She was bound. She had a chain around her waist. She has a bag over her head.I can't remember if it's her right or her left arm, was chained to the chain and her left hand was in the vehicle chained to something."KP wasn't exactly sure which arm was tied to the waist. His wording is kind of confusing as well. What he said verbatim was, "She was bound. She had a chain around her waist. She has a bag over her head. I can't remember if it's her right or her left arm, was chained to the chain and her left hand was in the vehicle chained to something."

This is the house that drew my attention. This is probably nothing but as I have been trying to look around for possible sites that SP could have been kept at I thought I would post it. I think it may have a basement if you zoom right close but am not sure. It looks abandoned but it's hard to say for sure

I wonder how far SP was driven when she was first "taken"? Was it only a few minutes? How about later; was she ever driven anywhere during the 22 days? Was she driven far on that last day she was released?
Has SP ever said anything about car trips?
But did you see my theory that it was somebody who wanted revenge after their business was ruined by a bad online review?
