Take me back to that day.
Where exactly did Keith find Sherry's phone?
How quickly did public attention start to focus on this case and the Papinis?
That page, set up by Keith's friends, promises all funds will go directly to the family to aid in search efforts to bring Sherry home. In total, it raises nearly $50,000.
All this time you're dealing with this, you've still got two little kids to think about.
kept him out of this. Still, Keith knew he had to find a way to explain to his young son, Tyler, why his mom was away from home.
Because you were still eyeing him as a possible suspect.
Basically, there were some inconsistencies in his story It made you a little bit suspicious, huh?
So at this time, you're not only dealing with the disappearance of your wife, having to break it to your kids, but you're also the prime suspect. The sheriff's office thinks that you had something to do with Sherry's disappearance.
Investigators learned Sherry had married a Marine sergeant in 2006, which he said was because she needed health insurance. He said they never actually lived together and divorced in 2008. And in a quick turnaround, Sherry and Keith married the very next year.
Even after an exhaustive search, investigators still have no solid leads. They're no closer to finding Sherry or figuring out how she apparently disappeared in the middle of the day.
The last major disappearance in this county was of Tara Smith. That's correct.
They also say they found this four-page letter that Tara had addressed to Troy Zing. To the Smiths, it seemed to confirm that she was involved in an intimate relationship with him. She wrote, It's against God's will, and we both know it. But the letter also makes it clear that Tara had deep regrets and she decided to end the relationship. She wrote, Ask yourself this question.
Are you putting yourself and us before God? I know I am, but not anymore.
Once Troy Zink was named a person of interest, he retained a lawyer and then refused to talk to investigators or submit to a polygraph test. And while that case still remains open to this day, Zink is on the record saying he had nothing to do with Tara's disappearance and he was never charged.
18 years had passed since Tara Smith went missing, a tragedy still fresh in the minds of the Redding community when Sherry Papini disappeared in a similar way.
Now at this point, Keith is contacted by someone who claims he can help as a hostage negotiator.
At the end of the seventh day of the search for Sherry Papini, investigators seem no closer to finding her.
The rule of thumb for criminologists in any missing person's case is that the first 72 hours are critical. And with every passing hour, the chances of finding the victim alive fade. So investigators looking for Sherry are desperate for a break. But still, at this point, the only piece of evidence they have to go on was her phone.
Did they ask you if you had anything to do with Sherry's disappearance? Oh, of course.
