Hello, I'm new to this but I read just about every post regarding this case.
I wonder if she had a "successful" run that morning, went back home to wrap some gifts and was interrupted by something/someone. She left the house to check it out and was ultimately abducted near the mailboxes.
Perhaps she still had her phone and earbuds in while she was wrapping gifts although I know that doesn't fit into the "normal" scenario.
I wish peace to her and to all who know and love her.
Referring to Sherri's 10:37 text:
Instead of looking at Sherri's 10:37 a.m. text to her husband as "why would she expect him to be home for lunch if it wasn't normal," perhaps it should be looked at as "why is she checking to make sure he wouldn't be home for lunch."
The reason to bring this up is we don't know that Sherri was at home when she text her husband. It's quite possible she had already started out for her walk/jog when she remembered she'd left the gift out. Instead of returning home to put it away, she may have decided to text her husband just to be sure he wouldn't be coming home for lunch.
I can't figure this one out. I think I would be most shocked if it was suicide or she voluntarily left.
Investigators found that in early March of 2014, the girl was contacted by Baldwin-Green as she was walking home from a party in the Sacramento area. She said Baldwin-Green forced her into his vehicle and drove her to Redding against her will.
Redding Police also learned the victim had been reported as a runaway from the Sacramento area.
The girl told police that while in Redding she was held against her will in an apartment off Olive Street, and a second apartment off Hartnell Avenue. She said Baldwin-Green had locks on windows and doorknobs on the inside doors which required keys to open. The victim said Baldwin-Green took her phone, and threatened to harm her if she tried to escape.
http://www.crimevoice.com/2016/01/25/pomona-human-trafficking-thwarted-on-the-blade/Sgt. Gregg Haggerty, of the Major Crimes Task Force called the series of events not usual, where a 21-year-old was abducted by an unknown man in her Oklahoma City home, transported to Georgia, then sold to a man in California, which culminated with her rescue in the hotter section of the Track as she ran to a passing police vehicle.
http://www.mailtribune.com/article/20110405/NEWS/104050305It was spring 2001 when the then-19-year-old Herzig was approached in a well-populated mall by a woman who asked the pretty blond college student whether she wanted a job in the makeup industry.
Herzig became uneasy during a follow-up meeting at a local restaurant. She excused herself on the pretext she needed to get her sweater from her car.
Her plan was to leave and never come back. But it was too late. A man with a gun was waiting in the parking lot. She was forced into a black Mercedes.
The man was James Vernon Joseph, aka "Spyder." He placed Herzig in "mental chains," breaking her down physically and mentally during her months of sexual slavery, Herzig said recently on "The Joy Behar Show," where she appeared with John Walsh, host of the "America's Most Wanted" television show.
To avoid the police attention of a missing person's case, Joseph had Herzig call her parents. Listening in on the calls, he coached her on precisely what to say, she said.
"The entire time she was gone, her family thought she was fine," Hull said. "People think this only happens to kids who are out on the streets."
Herzig said Joseph threatened to kill Herzig's family members, beat her on a regular basis, and forced her into prostitution. The pimp took Herzig and other young women to sporting events and conventions across the nation, selling them to men willing to pay thousands of dollars, Hull said.
It still seems extremely unlikely to me. Even that link says that they use recruitment methods and coercion. I'm curious if there's even a single documented case of someone being kidnapped off the street for trafficking purposes, especially someone not in a vulnerable population.
That's a good idea because what if let's say she ran to the store for tape or went for a job and a friend or neighbor invited her in or asked her to help them so she wanted to make sure he wouldn't be home to see the gift. Maybe said person was the person who did whatever has been done and she didn't know they stalked her potentially and for all we know could be a RSO since we know so many lived close. My other guess was maybe she asked because she wanted to know if she could wrap gifts without being caught but I find it odd to wrap them so early. But what if she was taken right after her husband and kids left that morning? Assuming he dropped them off. The person could have sent that text and done various other normal things she would do and maybe even wrapped part of a gift to throw them off and think she left on her own. We don't know really if it was her. He could have held a gun to her and made her even. I don't think anyone who lives there and grew up there and knows what bad crime is around there and who had a girl be taken in school who looked like her and was her age would go jog around there alone and I think the gun was to protect herself from someone and maybe even her ex husband. Part of me thinks she would train with her sister(I saw she was doing the marathon also) or at the gym and not alone in the area. I doubt she could be so oblivious she wouldn't know the area is dangerous. I mean what if a neighbor asked for quick help with something then grabbed her once she was in the house or close to the car. Would she give directions to someone if asked? And if so would she get close enough to be grabbed or tazed? She would have to be scared to jog in sketchy areas or even safe ones alone after the other three murdered joggers. Finally my phone is letting me quote but it doesn't keep my indentions so I apologize but it won't let me make them into paragraphs
Was that the conversation that started because of a quote she pinned with the gun? Or was there something more substantial?
Sherri's mom said something about the abductor being someone she knew. Keith said there was nothing alarming in the days leading up to her missing and he thinks it was just some low-lifes she didn't know.

You give them more credit than I do, but now I really want to know if they owned a gun and if it's missing.LE has way more information than we do and that's just with the known evidence. LE could have a ton of information just off her digital records. I think LE knows pretty well that whatever happened, it didn't involve a random strangern
You give them more credit than I do
I dont think this. I suspect someone accidently hit her with their car and took her to protect themselves.

I do not think she is the one that sent the text to her husband wondering if he would be home for lunch.
