On November 2, 2016, 34-year-old Sherri Papini went missing, leaving behind her husband and two kids in Redding, California. She reappeared three weeks later, found beside a highway, blindfolded, and significantly underweight at 88 pounds. She told authorities she had been kidnapped and abused by two Hispanic women.
Investigations revealed two unidentified DNA samples on her, yet no matches were found in criminal databases. From 2017 to 2021, Sherri Papini received a substantial amount of financial assistance from the California Victim Compensation Board.
Efforts to locate her supposed kidnappers continued until March 2022, when a breakthrough occurred: one of the DNA samples was linked to Sherri's ex-boyfriend, James Reyes, who disclosed that the kidnapping story was fabricated.
As a result, Papini was sentenced to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay a $300,000 fine for concocting the abduction story and misleading federal investigators.
