Found Alive CA - Sherri Papini, 34, Redding, 2 November 2016 - #23

It also might not be hers. I've seen some weird things littering the streets and woods. A bikini top wouldn't be the weirdest.

That's my best guess too.

I took a more clear SS from the KRCR video if that would be more helpful.;

The "band" is not pink and white as in the first picture, so yeah lighting is a problem here. I just cannot find an example of any CSI using evidence tape that way.

I still believe this is a black object that CSI has bordered with pink ribbon/tape. CSI takes photos of each numbered evidence item, and they need for each item to show up well in the photo.

But notice how the black item blends in with the roadway. They put the pink around it so that the CSI photo would show the boundary of the object.

Funny how the news reporter, as they are showing the video of black/pink thing, says she was last seen wearing PINK jacket. Almost immediately makes you associate what is pictured with a piece of clothing.

I can't tell what it is for sure. When looking from a distance I definitely see sports bra, but when I inspect closer and zoom in I can definitely see what looks like a black nitrile glove with a pink ribbon around it.

Family & friends spoke out for some while about what happened, and then have not for some long while.SP has not spoken about what happened to the public at all, much less tried to profit from it. She seems to be living as a recluse, and rarely venturing out at all, even to pick up her kids from school.

SABBM- I'd argue that the account and the anonymous donor were a way to profit from the situation. Whether the P's did, I do not know. Private donations could have also happened unbeknownst to us. And I would imagine that interviews, Lifetime movies and book deals could happen via phone or Skype pretty easily without her ever leaving the house. Again, not saying that's currently happening, just that it could and we won't know until the advertisements come out.

I dont believe kidnappers give jackets away to their victims, but it shows compassion or possibly something else.

Especially not after chopping off her signature hair in an attempt to "shame" her. One of the women must have felt real bad about what had happened and was trying to make things right by allowing her to shower and releasing her clothed near where she could be easily found and rescued (possibly shooting the mean one too). Maybe they thought being nice would keep her from talking, if so, it seems to have worked.

That's one of those waistband pouches. Used to carry money and stuff in.

Just jumping off your post.

I don't know where the "shaming" idea came from - I think it was KP . In most pictures of Sherri I see her "signature" hair is pulled back into a ponytail or a bun. Most often it is tucked behind her ears. One picture I saw with a hat, her ponytail was tucked under. You can very often see her ears and her long neck. Maybe KP is the only one who thinks iof her hair as her identity. Her hair was cut to shoulder length according to the latest release of info from LE. Many women get their hair cut shorter than they had worn, with difficulty, sure. Shaved bald I can see being "humiliating". Who said shaming? It's just odd, IMO

But I don't think that's the reason it was cut. The clothing that was not her own and the long blond hair cut to a more common shoulder length (and possibly a jacket?), are all an effort to make her less recognizable IMHO.

I thought that also; but in looking closer (I downloaded the pic to my desktop and zoomed in) the pink portion on the left side and upper left corner is scrunched, unlike ribbon or tape. I also don't think that investigators would want to obscure any portion of the black with pink ribbon. However, this is not an official investigative photo, only a screen shot from TV.

To me, it feels like the only things LE stresses are the oddities in the case...without much emphasis on the crime aspect or any sense of urgency about the suspects. Just very weird.

People Magazine has been with Sherri's story since the beginning. Did they pay KP for the interviews?

Evidence tape is not used that way. Never. They use flags to mark it. They don't touch it with evidence tape. They especially don't create a border around an object with tape. That would be insane. Way too much handling involved and the possibility of DNA transfers, etc.

Evidence tape is clearly marked as such, with the words "EVIDENCE TAPE" and it is used to seal canisters and tubes of DNA, or bags that contain evidence, etc.

If it were a black glove as has been suggested, then surely they would have found DNA on it.
Since they have mentioned the other sources of DNA that they found, I can't imagine why they wouldn't have mentioned a glove at the abduction scene.
I can't find where this piece of evidence was ever identified in the media.
Either it isn't related or it is part of the 'investigation' that they are keeping quiet about.

Agreed.

I wonder when the media will be privy to their search warrants.

That's what really keeps me on that fence. Their selective release of info seems designed to cast doubt and there is nothing of substance that indicates they feel there is anyone to catch.

Of course just because she was kidnapped doesn't mean the public at large would be in danger because they may feel she was targeted. And lack of discussion about possible perps doesn't mean they don;t have suspects. We've seen that over and over. Total silence, seems like LE is at a loss and then - BAM.

But what we haven't seen is the volume of inconsistencies released as in this case. And nothing really of substance. It is bizarre.

After further research, I have to concede your point. They would have used flags or maybe string but not ribbon or tape and certainly not bumping up against the evidence like that.

So now I had another thought. It's been suggested that it's a sports bra or a waist pouch. What about a detachable hoodie?

 

[SugarQueen]

Not caught up reading but could the pink/ black object be a pouch for keys/ phone/ whatever, or one of those fitted headband/ hats joggers sometimes wear? The two short straps on the right could be the faux tie that would hang in the back.

Well, it’s not weird if they don’t think an abduction really occurred.

Have they interviewed KP?

Yes. They are using flags in fact. I posted a SS from the video of one in the grass upthread post #784.

Looking back, I see it was 20/20 that did an interview with KP. I missed that. I don't know if 20/20 pays for interviews or not. I guess they could sell the rights to Sherri's story as mentioned.

It is very odd. The only thing I think we can all agree on is that there is a whole lot more to this story than what we've been told. Unless it was an alien abduction...? (just kidding):beamup::alien3::ufo:
