But because this case did happen nine years ago at this point, I am going to give a little bit of a brief backstory of just who Sherry is, the main event that had her name and face in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, and just a little bit of the backstory. So Sherry Papini was a 34-year-old mom of two back in 2016.

And she was seemingly a very doting and loving wife to her husband, Keith Papini. The two of them had married back in 2009, and from then on, it seemed like the rest was history. And I'll be honest, from the outside looking in, Sherry's life was perfect.

In every single picture of this beautiful family of four, they were all holding each other close, snuggling up next to each other, had these big, bright smiles, just looking as happy and as wholesome, if I'm going to be honest, as possible. They were the type of family who people really envied. Keith and Sherry seemed head over heels in love with each other too.

I mean, it just seemed picture perfect. They had brought these two beautiful children into the world. They had this amazing love story and perfect connection. I mean, what's not to envy? right? But as we all know, and as I say way too many times that I can even count at this point, sometimes looks can be deceiving. And what's the saying? He who shouts the loudest has the most to hide.

And that definitely feels true in this case. And that's pretty much the perfect description of Sherry and her situation. That is what I will refer to it as, her situation. So on November 2nd, 2016, this petite, beautiful, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, all-American mom went out for a jog, like so many people do in the morning, right?

It was nothing huge, just a little lap that she was going to make around her neighborhood in Redding, California. Something to just get the day started, get the blood pumping, you know, start off the day on a good note, get those endorphins in. But not too long into this jog, she was abducted, just grabbed right off the street.

She was missing, and it wasn't until later in the day that her absence was even noticed. Keith came home from work, and he found it weird that she wasn't there because she typically always was at the house right around the time he got home from work. On top of that, the kids were not home either.

So, a little bit worried, he ended up calling the kids' daycare to see exactly what time they had been picked up that afternoon from Sherry. Maybe he'd get a better idea of what their day had been like, where they could all possibly be. Maybe she picked them up early, took them to ice cream, to a movie.
