In March of 2022, six years after Sherry Papini vanished while on an afternoon jog.
News breaks that the mother of two has been arrested.
Now being accused of making the whole thing up. A stunning admission. Cherry Pippini has now admitted it was all a hoax. Will plead guilty to lying to federal agents about the case.
Sherry was sentenced to 18 months and was ordered to pay restitution. She served just under a year in federal prison and is now free. After her release, I spoke with her ex-husband, Keith Papini. So many people watching this would wonder, was his spidey sense going off? Didn't he notice that something was off?
So why do you think that she essentially concocted this hoax, disappeared, beat herself to a pulp for 22 days, and then continued to lie about it for years?
Sherry and Keith are now divorced, but they have been engaged in this brutal custody battle over their two children. She apologized in court. But has Sherry ever apologized to you or the children?
Now it's Sherry's turn.
I'm Sherry pepini I was abducted and I was tortured and the FBI said I made it all up.
A new documentary Sherry pepini caught in the lie premieres on May 26 on ID and streams on max.
It gave me the opportunity to finally say, hello, I'm Sherry Papini. Nice to finally meet you.
Sherry now claims she was abducted, held against her will for 22 days, and assaulted, but not by two Hispanic women, as she first claimed, but by that former boyfriend, James Reyes.
There was no master plan. There was no hoax kidnapping. There was a cover up of what happened. and I participated in the cover-up.
I just wanted to go home. Keep in mind, this is coming from a woman who admitted in a plea agreement she planned the whole thing. Instructed James Reyes to buy phones and meet up with her, got in that car, stayed in that house voluntarily, and made it appear that she'd been abused.
That lie, abducted by a pair of pistol-packing women, now she claims she can't remember how she wound up in the car with James.
Like, I wish I could just say, I don't remember getting in the car. And you're trying to get there, and you're trying to get to this moment where I can't tell you. I can't tell you.
Saying she felt stuck in an unhappy marriage, Sherry says she rekindled a texting relationship with James Reyes, who she now claims showed up unexpectedly one day and kidnapped her. She says she lied to the FBI, lied to the police and the world because she was afraid of her husband finding out about her relationship with James.
In testimony in their custody case, Keith says Sherry's new allegations about James are just more lies. We have reached out to James Reyes for comment, but have not heard back. The Shasta County Sheriff's Office fully investigated James, corroborated his story with a polygraph, cell phone records and witnesses, and has cleared him of any crimes.
The sheriff's office declining to comment on Sherry's latest allegations, saying, quote, we are choosing to focus on current public safety matters. And as the documentary comes to a close, Sherry wonders aloud about the wisdom of doing that interview.
Do you think that this film is going to do more harm than good for me?
Good question.
