I feel bad for the real victims that are missing and never found 😔
same. Who knows if resources and hours wasted on this trashy liar could have been used to help someone else :C
Literally
Me too. Sherri is heartless af
Well they’re not blond yt women so America won’t invest in their lives
Same. It really makes me mad as it does others.
My heart goes out to her husband and kids.
Not to mention all the Latinas SP endangered with false allegations
Exactly!
@@lettiegrant9447 I have no doubt my sisters will welcome SP to the joint with open arms 😉.
Yup, just like they did (do) black men. America’s Princesses are always believed first and hardly ever punished. Someone could’ve gotten hurt and/or killed especially in these times with the rise of white supremacy. This is sick and I can’t watch it any longer.
sp?
A hispanic woman named Stacy Smart went missing in that area around the same time Sherri went missing
This woman watched the 2014 American film "Gone Girl" and played it out in real life. Incredibly similar circumstances, sequence of events, media coverage and outcome.
Exactly what I think when I read the title of this video.
She wasnt prepared enough or smart enough to carry this out.
Exactly what I thought!! Perhaps she's hoping they'll make a movie out of it like they did with Pamela Smart..... TO DIE FOR starring freakin Nicole Kidman! We need to stop glamourizing this type of stuff!!
@leiajiang7877 not even slightly!
Yes
Can you imagine if someone had been arrested for abducting her?
I thought the same thing. I am so shocked.
happens all the time. Do you believe a white woman or a minority?
Imagine all of the women who were questioned for nothing
What if they had arrested the poor husband, he was obviously a person of interest and his polygraph was inconclusive, they very easily could've, mistakes happen all the time. But even so, what she put that man and her children thru is outrageous
She should have said it was 2 guys in Maga hats with a noose and bleach.
Imagine the resources and time wasted on looking for her when there were people who were actually missing that could have used the media attention and effort
Ikr!
Exactly
Like a girl who went missing in my state, Harmony Montgomery. Went missing December 2021, still missing. I hope she’s okay ❤️❤️
Edit: She’s only 8
I'm not sure if all state police departments are the same. But I've heard if someone lies about going missing, they get charged a fine for all the wasted resources used to find them. Hopefully she got fined along with her jail time. 😡
HOW DID HER DOCTOR OR DOCTORS WHO WERE TREATING HER NOT ABLE TO SEE SHE WAS LYING? WHAT KIND OF TRAINING DO THESE DOCTORS GET?,
As an intern therapist, I am SO curious to hear what she told the therapist. Was she honest? Did she lie to them too? Could they tell at all? If it doesn’t put her life or someone else’s life in direct danger then they can’t tell anyone what she said. Unless it is court ordered. So interesting!
I wonder if the rules would blend since she lied about such a jurassic thing and the police are involved?
@@youngmxn if no one’s life is in direct danger or a child or elder isn’t being abused or it isn’t court ordered then the therapist will be sued for exposing anything. Has to fall into those categories.
I wish though! The one that pisses me off is we mostly still can’t report animal abuse in most states:( I’m hoping to change this while I’m in the field!
@@jesswinter that is so bizarre!! I feel like there should be a special case scenario:/ thank you for explaining!!
@@jesswinter you mean could be sued right? it's not a automatic thing,Sherri would have to hire a lawyer and sue her therapist right? I'm honestly asking,I'm not therapist so I wouldn't know as well as you would and also what about her using up all the police resources? if you knew she lied and all that happen would you still not have to tell like(last thing I swear) that Jessie Sumollett case,if say he didn't get caught for lying and he was seeing you after for therapy and told you the truth would you have to Tell?
@@MrJames-tw3so pretty sure yiu can be fired and lose your license too
It’s disgusting how she did all of this just for attention. And the fact that she was only sentenced for 18 months is not enough, she needs way more time for duping everyone for the past 5 years.
She gets woman sentence, a man would get 5 years
@@swadey2.017 Exactly. They need to start giving equal sentences for both men and women. It’s like they think that women aren’t able to handle being imprisoned for that long.
@@skelemama if they do that then they need to start sentencing whites like they sentence blacks
actually its worse she did it to spend time with the ex boyfriend she was having an affair with..she wanted to cover up spending a weekend with him ...so came up with the lie
@@skelemama they arent
All I wanna know is, wtf was she trying to get out of this? It’s a slap in the face to REAL victims. She’s a weirdo
White peoples bb
Narcissist Sociopath Racist
Gotta be go fund me money. I wanna say d*ck but it can't be that. She could get that anytime as a stay at home mom.. No need to go to the extreme of faking abduction.
These women ARE weird
It really is
Her poor husband. He’s been through Hell and has to bring up his kids with them having gone through this trauma too. He’s been incredible and I’m definitely hoping he knows how much people are rooting for him.
It’s always great when a narcissistic pathological liar gets caught in their lies. It was great to watch a recording of the interrogation and how she kept on lying with all the evidence in front of her.
Yep narcissistic ppl are all Ride or die with that lying 🤥 they do. It's crazy!
Pity they didn't waterboard the creature.
A woman went missing from the same area around the same time and got ZERO media attention. Still missing to this day. Smh!
But Sherri baked a fantastic pie -her sister.
I know so someone just like this
This woman also made very racist posts on white supremacy websites but I like how they just casually leave that out. Her making her captors hispanic women the women that played that “annoying Mexican music” (her words). This wasn’t just her wanting to have an affair this was racially motivated as well.
You know some
You know how the media is. They even started with "beautiful blonde"
Well duh.
@@aerouksloko2267I'm literally not gonna finish watching just cause she said that
Exactly
So my family lives around that area and we are Hispanic and my sisters where absolutely terrified! They didn’t want to go outside, to the store NOTHING- we where terrified that we would get snatched up by police and forced to confess!!Where is OUR financial support from the PTSD that she caused us!?! Idk why she needed to lie, but she put ALL HISPANICS at risk!
File a civil suit against her!
If you get enough people, even better!
Bruh, your name is Mike Johnson.
@111RiSiNG Assuming Mike is a straight man, it's very unlikely he would take his wife's last name. And as a person of mixed race, at least one part of your name would align with your race.
Not really, the police never really believed her. They weren’t looking for Hispanics to arrest they were working to undo her lies. All kinds of suspects are wanted, stop being so overly dramatic. Gosh 😒😒😒😒😒
@@sponsoredbyraidshadowlegen1416 he was talking about his sisters or are u thag slow
I don't appreciate us Hispanic women getting thrown under the bus. 😳🤦🤣
Yeah when white women lie they have to pick a group of POC they want to scapegoat which is odd and sickening, really fucked up when you realize people died or are in prison for something they didn’t do and when the truth gets out it’s “Oops sorry”
I really want a study on why they do that anyway, I wonder if it’s narcissism and attention seeking behavior of some sort bc she’s not the first case where the race baiting happened
@@ms.trashcan8187 Yepp , plenty of examples---Jussie Smollett , Susan Smith , the Duke volleyball player , Tawanna Brawley , etc.
She was trying to make it seem like she got kidnapped by cartel human traffickers.
Haha no one cares if you appreciate it or not.
Stay at home mom who sent her kids to daycare all day? She’s not “super mom.” That’s just an insult to mothers.
literally what i was thinking like she just stays home and wait for everyone to get back home😭
She could’ve literally got an innocent person arrested and put in jail Possibly for life with that sketch she gave of what the suspect supposedly looked like, My heart truly goes out to the husband and his children 😒😢
Does anybody know if he believes she’s innocent or does he now believe she’s guilty ?….
Edit: My Question Has Been Answered , Thank You All Who Did 🙏🏽❤️
Yeah he does find her guilty he filled for divorce from her. It was on the news.
@@simplybeauty5334 oh good ! 👍🏽💯
Yep. And if a person was arrested and prosecuted because of her claims, she would get on the stand and point her finger at an innocent person. She's the type of person that needs to be held in an institution because she has proven that she is a serious threat to all people, especially the innocent.
@@simplybeauty5334 GOOD FOR HIM!!!!
@@dcc-randomstorieswithmel7424 I was surprised to learn he left her. I didn't think he would. Good for him. idk how she could do that to her kids. Smh.
I believe she wanted to leave her family behind but had no real plan so went to the ex boyfriend place. After a while, she wanted to return. So she faked an abduction as everyone was looking for her and her husband would divorce her if he knew she just left them behind and stayed with her ex.
Very immature behaviour and kinda crazy!
I think she wanted a break from the family but realized she couldn't really come up with a story for where she was. Also she is obv a big nuts.
@@silverkitty2503 seriously? y'all are just as crazy of Karens as that criminal treating her as if she's still a victim who "needed a break". Oh, poor distressed housewife just needed a break? Bitch my ass. If all she wanted was a break, she could've come back with a FAR MORE benign story instead of creating chaos, traumatizing her children and her husband, and wasting community resources for 5 years. She's obviously an attention-seeking RACIST chronic liar who's only sorry bc she got caught on her lie. And yes, she's a racist, bc even in a made up story, the criminals had to be hispanic.
Nah, she'd planned for a fake abduction.from the beginning, but I'd bet my 3rd nut that she had absolutely no idea how big this shitshow would get. She even spaced out the timing of her "beatings" so that the healing bruises would be consistent with long term abuse.
She definitely wanted attention. She probably also enjoyed the massive media frenzy around her disappearance at first.
Fortunately for the people in her life who she'd hurt the most, the lies got way too big to keep track of and pass off as genuine.
She’s the definition of crazy
Agreed.
Was there ever a sequel to the book/movie "Gone Girl"? Maybe it would have some answers. At least this husband got to divorce, poor Ben Affleck couldn't divorce Rosemund Pike :/
It’s like she watched Gone Girl and got a little too inspired by it 😂😂
Who else laughed at Sheri Panini aaahahaha 😂😂😂
That was hilarious 😂
When he said that, I suddenly felt hungry lol.
They should make a sandwich dedicated to her
guilty lol
@@cggg5089 helllll noooo
He drove NINE hours to pick her up and then NINE hours back? But he wasn’t hoping they’d get back together? Yeah, ok.
Exactly! No man is going to invest that time or money or try to come to her rescue if he isnt told or assuming he getting the coochie
Right?? And nothing happened sexually either despite their past intimacy, some people truly believe that 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😆
Ikr? Like wtf and she didn’t have sex with him the entire three weeks she was there. I’m side eyeing his @$$ also. Clearly you were looking for some type of reconnection. I think he’s just trying to save face. Looking crazy asl
@@peacethroughstrength172 i believe it. There are guys that will do all that hoping to get intimate but the woman doesn't give it up.
@@MK-we9sw Yea not in this case. You wouldnt go through such extremes in her case to be platonic 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. Come on man
This chick was a stay at home mom, and still had day care for the kids. So privileged
But she was paying for it.
Right smh
@shuleria.. therefore she was financially privileged to be able to afford it !
Imagine the future therapy sessions for those kids -- " my mom stayed home all day, enjoying not having me or our dad around. She sent us to strangers all day because she did not want us." Attachment Disorder-- incoming.
Straight up gone girl situation. She should get some serious psychiatric help. I'm still fuming she had to negatively associate Latina women with her story... what a terrible thing to do to her family and a whole group of people
Now you know what Blacks go through.
Sherri said in her police interview over and over that she would NEVER leave her children, but she did. When police let her know they found the house and the pictures they were showing her, that she claimed she didn’t recognize were taken from the rooms where she was kept. She tries to mislead detectives. Well she asks to speak with her husband and she keeps saying “I don’t want them to find her.” “I don’t want her arrested” And when her husband asks why she says “because she’s the reason I get to hug my children every day”. She’s disgusting. She uses her children constantly as an excuse for not speaking to police, as a reason why she wouldn’t run away, and uses them as a reason not to press charges on the younger Hispanic woman that let her go. It’s all because of how much she loves her children. Even though she let them go through hell when they thought their mommy was missing. I read a 55 page criminal complaint which is available online and it lays out in detail all her lies. She actually called up an ex boyfriend and had him pick her up, she went to his house and stayed there for 22 days. James Reyes. He said he never made her do anything, that he gave her his bedroom and he slept on the couch. When they would eat Sherri would only eat a little bit. She started losing weight. He said she wanted him to hit her but he wouldn’t do it. So she would hit herself using a puck machine. He did help with the brand and even got the tools she asked for. He never questioned anything. He also saw her cut her hair and she asked him for cleaning supplies and she which he got that she would put on her skin to cause rashes. He did everything she asked and expected nothing in return. He had no idea she had laid out the kidnap plan in advance. She happily blames him in the police interview and when police tell her he was the person she was staying with voluntarily she just denied it over and over. He thought he was helping a friend who had an abusive husband. He was duped, Keith was duped and the whole community was duped. She stole over 30k from a victim services fund, 49k from a go fund me set up for the family to find her. She’s disgusting. Steals the money. Lies about being kidnapped and uses her children as scapegoats.
So she did all of these for money or what?
We know. Are y’all new to this story?
@@SL-pg4dh she did it because she’s crazy. Her husband filed for divorce after she was arrested
My question is: how does a person like that attract boyfriends and husbands. Why do these men want to be with her? There are plenty of beautiful good decent women out there.. but I guess they are not “exciting” enough..
@@Citrusfruits50 All westerner wahmen are like that amigo
Her smile in photos is reminiscent of Jodi Arias. A skill I’m learning is emotional self-honesty. Without analysing with thought, just asking myself “How does this person/situation/what they’re communicating make me feel, what is instinctive in my body?”. Our bodies are much wiser than we are.
Her smile is so creepy.
Very valid point. 👏
Duper’s delight
uh she has a normal smile. you guys pretend that you can see every crime from the beginning. the whole point is that these kinds of crimes are shocking bc the people look completely normal.
@@josie3221 THANK YOU, I hate that everyone thinks they're an armchair analyst/investigator.
Yall are biased against her appearance because we ALREADY KNOW what she did. That knowledge taints our vision of her, and its honestly a terrible idea to make serious judgements of someone based on their mannerisms anyway. That's how false accusations happen.
If the case hadn't been concluded (she never came out of hiding) and people suspected Keith of foul play, yall would make the same weird comments about his mannerisms as well.
When you stay at home, but put your kids in daycare while you're at home...are you really a stay-at-home mom?
Yea
It's absurd
Shes such a fake person
Her parents knew she was insane
She made up lies about abuse
Called police
So many parents just let insane kids grow into criminals
💀
She's a Supermom. She took the kids to daycare then went jogging.
@@randomtees I would have had like 50 kids if I knew all I had to do to be considered a supermom was to drop them off somewhere...and go for not even a 5k jog!!! No wonder 'when she made a pie, it wasn't just any pie...' If I had 8 hours in a day to make a flippin pie, while my kids were in daycare, I'm sure it would be perfection too!
No but she’s a pretty woman so she’s automatically a “super mom”
I can't imagine being married to somebody like that and just completely not knowing who they are... chilling...
Right! You think u kno some1 then boom! Exactly right so chilling!
Gone Girl vibes
There are pathological liars everywhere. Liars are good at fooling people. Very sad.
Who's here after slim releases Houdini?

One thing that immediately struck me about Sherri Papini was her smile…So taut and contrived, even a bit deranged.
Her wedding pictures…. I wonder if the thought if she could sit on his shoulders…. Threading water as he holds his breath would be an option. He’s got his head turned so it’s all about her. You know there’s a mirror in every room, even in the toilet so she can watch herself!😂
And all them gums....eeeewww
@@exitscreaming4637 yes she pulls it so taut that her gums are exposed. They were correct in the use of taut.
@@isabellavalencia8026 Yeah youre right
@@isabellavalencia8026 no normal person shows that much gum
I’m so confused… her ex boyfriend just went along with beating her and hitting her with hockey pucks and sticks and branding her all while there is a man hunt for her? I wouldn’t be ok with this at all. I would think I was being set up.
AND left her kids in said "abusive situation." How could he have left the kids?
She beat herself.
Thissssss like bf was dumb she could EASILY pin it on him
He could've had enough evidence that he believed he'd never be set up. Texts. Video. Etc.
He knew it was a possibility
It’s sad that there are so many missing indigenous women. And a YT woman has the audacity to fake her own disappearance.
Why make this a race issue when it has nothing to do with race? Why state that you feel bad for missing indigenous women specifically? There are over 40 million people worldwide caught up in the $ex trade industry of ALL nationalities & ethnicities... no one race has been excluded from the atrocities of the world so why are we giving our sympathies to only one small faction of the demographic?
@@Channeler324 because missing white female victims are usually the ones who get the attention of the press. So they were just saying this woman wasn’t even missing but she got a ton of publicity, when there are many missing people who need to be publicized but aren’t. Look up “missing white girl syndrome”
@@Channeler324 Wow! The white fragility is strong with you. The original commenter said nothing wrong. He made a simple comparison between a group of (minority) women who go missing and are murdered by the thousands with very little media coverage or investigation and a white (majority) female fraudster who lied about it and got national and international media coverage and used resources that could have been used for ACTUAL missing people. Please look up Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women #MMIW so you can understand how race comes into play here. It's not that hard to understand.
@@Channeler324 she was racist towards Hispanic women though…
Sophia- the race issue is that in America, the media (and sadly, some law enforcement) give much more attention to missing white women and girl, especially pretty blonde ones, than missing people of color and indigenous people. And blaming two Hispanic women is a problem too. ❤️⚖️
Dear social media companies: please do not let Sherri cash in on this despicable incident.

@@thuaug4417 … with kidnapping role play themes
Social media has nothing to do w it.
@@thuaug4417 Aside from her being a nutjob, I'd still check out her only fans. I'm a dude I can't help it.
I hate when people say "beautiful blonde..." like does her hair color make her extra special??
That’s America for you
It's a contextual clue to paint a narrative picture of what was going on when people thought that she was missing. It's not endorsing the view that blonde women are more delicate or vulnerable... whatever, but it's acknowledging that the notion lingers in our society, however subconsciously. Young children sometimes start out very blonde. So the color is associated with something that's youthful and requiring protection. That's the best explanation I've seen for the bias. That and the eye is just drawn to bright things. Of course dark hair is attractive. Lots of people adore it. It's beautiful and you're lucky, so why bother giving this even a thought?
I personally favor auburn hair, all shades.
@@c.eb.1216 So is it just coincidence that Sherri Papini and Gabby Petito happened to be blonde and made national news becoming America's obsession? It's because attractive blondes are held in higher regard than other women... Especially women of color.
Cause natural blond hair is beautiful and stands out and it’s rare natural blonde not fake …
I am a woman of Asian descent and I am beautiful. Hair color does not define beauty.
It's difficult to believe her hoax wasn't motivated by racial hatred. It's kinda necessary to do something like that. You could say maybe she just saw an opportunity to get in a extra jab of evil, but most women would just leave rather than pull a stunt like this. I think she definitely isn't right in the head, but that hatred in her heart is real.
Had nothing to do with race imbecile. She was messing with a ex. She didn't care about Mexicans.
Decades ago I had a sister-in-law who did weird stuff like this....one time she reported to the police that she was held up at the ATM while withdrawing cash. I always thought it was really bizarre as even back then they had cameras at the ATM's so obviously she was going to get caught in a lie.
We'll, what happened?
@@candyluna2929 Sounds pretty straightforward and she was caught in the lie.
My aunt was like this. She told me she had another sister named nancy(which would have made 3 Nancy’s from the same father) who died in the 9/11 attack. Was on the top floor. Im looking at her like wtf. I know the whole family and I know this wasn’t true. She did it for sympathy and attention. She was a very mentally sick woman.
911 call-“Sherri Panini?” Lol sorry but I died at that😂, crazy story tho :/
lol I know, now I want a panini
I was searching for this comment lol
It made me realize that you don't hear about paninis anymore
I still can’t get past the reporter’s name… pat the llama 😂
“Panini fakes its own kidnapping” would’ve been a much better story.
So many people believed her ridiculous story. Sadly just because of what she looks like and where she lives she was believed
Yes, but did her story make national headlines for months on end? I'm not saying that false accusations from minorities are never believed sight unseen, but it would be incredibly naive to assert that racial bias is not a factor in the presentation of these cases.
I think we can all agree that the media in.recent years has made it glaringly apparent which demographic they consider worthy of awareness, resources and as much public sympathy as they can drum up.
So many people believed Jussie Smollett and the Duke volleyball player , just because of what they look like
I did NOT mention race or ethnicity and yet you came to that conclusion, hmm. Anyway I meant the fact that she was attractive, dressed nicely, exercised and lived in a nice area.
Well she's a woman, they get sympathy easily
“Panini” 🤣🤣 that was my first thought seeing her last name
Who is here after Carlee Russell’s story ??
😂😂😂
The Tubi movie was fantastic 😂
her husband was on the news after she went missing almost every day! Never saw Sherri's mom or dad or anyone from her family speaking on the news. They were probably glad she was missing.
They might live in a different state and not have seen it in the news.
What was the point??!? Just to sleep with her ex?!? She didn’t have to fake kidnapping for that.😢
Smh
He passed a lie detector test & said they didn’t even have sex. The DNA found on her apparently wasn’t necessarily related to sexual contact.
I honestly dont think she even knows what the point was. She is so emotionally and mentally unhinged. She needs serious help . I pray she gets it and when its time for her release she only sees her children under supervised visitation
Right. She didn’t. This ex is obv the abuser but the cops who are likely to be wife beaters so they believe him rather than the victim.
What victim?
W0W, Can’t imagine all the people that were affected by her lies, the Latino community, her family, the police , all the searchers , the medical staff, not to mention all the people she triggered who have real missing loved ones. she’s like the original Amber Heard. How people can destroy others with their lies is beyond me.
At least there were no false allegations against any Blacks.
Beyond angering, for years we have been the nations scapegoat really don’t need anything to add to that
Well MS-13 is Latino and is involved in much trafficking. So please...🙄
When someone knows a liar and scam artist like Sherri, it is their responsibility to warn anyone who might get involved with them. A woman who was totally self-absorbed and so desperate for attention that she committed a serious crime, had children, children who will never be able to be properly give these very vulnerable young lives the love and attention they deserve. Although her husband will love his children, he might wonder what life could have been if he had never met Sherri.
If she really wanted to leave her family why not just leave you don’t have to fake an abduction
because some people are fucking drama queens ....
She is an attention and sympathy addict. It's like Munchausen's disease but without the doctors. She didn't want to leave her family and she didn't want to have a spicy time with her ex-boyfriend (by all accounts, they didn't even get it on). She just has an insatiable desire to have people pity her. Most healthy folks find this incomprehensible, but it's an increasingly common syndrome and I have no doubt it will soon be registered as a legitimate mental condition.
Her stupid sister keeps defending her like she's still the baby of the house. Provides a clue about her behavior.
And where is the fun in that
@Jackie absolutely not. I was close with a narcissistic chronic liar, just like Sherri. They don’t feel empathy for others, they just want attention and for people to care and feel sorry for them. Sherri most likely suffered trauma as a child to do this.
Imagine her husband was arrested for killing her. He must’ve felt like he was living under a microscope
He went through a lot
You can't care about your children's wellbeing if you put them through that.
she cared about that other guy
This woman should sit in prison for the next 40 years and pay back every penny to the federal government. I am a survivor of an attempt murder which happened in my car and I was never offered a dime and when I asked for help because I was homeless at the time of the attempt murder I was told I didn't qualify for a penny but I could get counseling instead. And this woman lied and cheated and is given tens of thousands!!!!
I'm so sorry u went through this...
Hey I hope you’re doing well now :)
Definitely deserves one year for every year the police had to investigate her fake kidnapping
She disappeared like: abra kadabra
18 months is not long enough
No it’s not
A pretty face, doesn't necessarily mean a pretty heart. Imagine if innocent women that looked like the drawings were arrested and charged for a crime they never committed!
Conventionally attractive people have been shown to get more lenient court sentences compared to less attractive ones. She was counting on her face to be her get-out-of-jail-free-card like it was for Casey Anthony. Thankfully, didn't work this time 😂
@@InimeKai Right, lol, thank God!
I remember when that case happened. It was just so strange like something out of a movie. I've watched documentaries about people who were abducted into sex trafficking rings and they always said the kidnappers were men, so I thought it was so strange that two Hispanic women did this when it's normally men since you have to be quite strong to kidnap adults. It all makes sense now that it is exposed as fake.
I don't believe the husband saying he didn't know about it though. I remember at the time the police said he was acting strangely and doing things like releasing details after they told him not to. They said don't tell anyone she was branded, and then he wrote all over social media that she was branded. He did everything he could to ruin their case, which suggests he knew things and knew she faked it so he was trying to throw off the police work. He and his wife got a lot of donations and money out of this and he only divorced her when she got sentenced.
Does it suggest that? He almost immediately filed for divorce when the real story came out
It’s so irresponsible to make these claims about Keith. If my husband was missing and I felt the police were withholding crucial information because they suspected him or for any other reason, there’s zero telling what I would do. Releasing information to the public that might identify him is the least of these
He may have thought the police weren't doing enough to find her kidnappers. I can see him believing he was doing something helpful. What would be his motive for being in on it? It certainly doesn't seem like he was in on it to me.
A few people had mentioned that while watching the Lifetime movie about this case. The husband was having financial difficulties long before the hoax. It's interesting she didn't implicate him with all the stories she was telling anyway. But it's reasonable to wonder if he cashed in and let it go that long on purpose.
She cherished them so much she put them in daycare while she sat at home and did nothing
*Sat at home and looked for other men
Daycare is also good for learning and socialisation.
@@johanna2690 There's two children. You can easily set up play dates or take them to the park or have them play with neighborhood kids to socialize. And none of my kids went to daycare. Teaching them basics like counting, the alphabet, and basic reading wasn't even that difficult.
Agreed. I didn’t put my children in daycare. I was with them all the time until they reached pre-school age. It’s easy to socialize them if you have cousins or neighborhood kids at the park they can play with. I don’t buy into the excuse that a stay at home mom dumps her kids off at daycare all day for 5 days to socialize them… maybe one or two days for a few hours. But not more.
She has probably always surrounded herself with slow-witted men she can easily manipulate. Sadly, I've encountered her kind before.
So she went out with the George Costanza type?

🤬🤨I have a question. Why would she need daycare for her children if she's a stay at home mother??? And Why do they call her super mom when she can't even take care for her own children???... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
At the point in the story, the kids spoke of "Mom's trick" to make them inhale rubbing alcohol until they were ill enough to go to the doctor. Sounds horrible to do this to children! I feel disgusted for the kids and Keith. I really loved seeing the footage of Keith and the children playing with the goats.
I swear this chick sat down and watched “Gone Girl” taking notes 📝. James Reyes is lucky his throat isn’t slit.
Literally!!! Like she copied that movie to a T it definitely inspired her!! Cutting her hair too like 100% she was trying to do that lmao
This guy is just as crazy as she is!
I knew it. I lived in Redding when this happened. It was her description of her attackers that made me question the validity of her story.
I’ve had a traumatizing childhood and I won’t pretend to know what Sherri has endured to end up staging her own kidnapping but as someone who suffered through trauma, no matter how bad my life ever was or has been or potentially could be..my children are my life line, they are my world. The fact that she left those children at a daycare or even just wondering where their mom was all this time, is something I just cannot wrap my head around. You have to really be far off the deep end to consider putting your children through such a traumatic event. I’ve had a terrible childhood and I’ve used my past to ENSURE my children grow up safe and loved. You have power to control your future even if you’ve had a sad past! The fact that she chose to continue the trauma and disregard her children is just so upsetting. She had the power to turn her life around and face her past and say ENOUGH, I’m going to make sure I provide a normal and healthy life for my children and myself, despite my upbringing. To see how she failed at this is heartbreaking. Let it be a lesson to everyone, please seek help for yourself or others who seem like they are not well mentally. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness.
You said you had a terrible childhood like 3 times. We get it. But turn the page already. You're an adult now. And there's nothing "mentally" wrong w SP. She's just incredibly self absorbed like most Karen's.
@@trawlins396 You are either inhuman, some pathetic troll, or most likely both. What horrific trauma have you lived through exactly that qualifies you to dispense such “wisdom”? No one just “turns a page” after a traumatic event. Especially from childhood.
@@trawlins396 Vile. OP has the right to reference their traumatizing childhood/life as many times as they care to do so. One cannot merely "turn the page already." Some early life experiences can be catalysts for a lifetime of inner turmoil and struggle. This anonymous comment section may be the only conduit through which comfort and openness is possible for the OP to speak upon past trauma. I find myself wondering what traumatized individuals that show so little human compassion and empathy.
@@trawlins396 you’re awesome. A real person. lol I dig it
@@AvecPoesie yes they do. And I have the right to give my opinion on their post. Welcome to social media !
These kind of shows always make a point to point out the color of people's hair when it is blonde...as if this is important.
Not grey
We all know what that's code for. "Blonde haired, blue eyed, All-American family"...I am not biased towards anyone, it's just a fact of life when it comes to American media. A blonde haired white woman is seen as the perfect depiction of "damsel in distress"....it's also why she intentionally scapegoated "2 Hispanic women with thick accents".
It's a very sad reality, but it is....no matter how nonsensical, reality.
This tall, handsome BALD man. And this small, beautiful BLONDE woman. This wiggly, medium sized TAN dog.
IKR? I think it's bc blonde is still seen as the pinnacle of women's beauty 🙄
Always lol.
Eminem brought me here 🤣 Eminem - Houdini
I couldn't imagine hurting myself like that just to get away. I have had PTSD and it is infuriating that she would do this. Her kids would have missed her so much and now they know she lied.
EVERYONES had "PTSD" in 2022. Yawn. 🥱. Y'all use that way too much.

@@trawlins396 some people really have it. I got tortured in another Country. I just don't put it out that much.
@@codybarry8204 key word "some". Most ppl who claim to have it don't.
@@trawlins396 I had it because I found my murdered neighbours and didn't know if the murderer(s) were still there, so...some people have it for good reason. I don't have it now, but I still have nightmares sometimes around the date, but I don'thave flashbacks anymore. I knew the killer. Most of the windows of our house, then, overlooked their house, since they were our closest neighbours. I moved 1000 kms away. It took me years until I could even talk about it..

Was blessed to be able to stay home and raise her kids. Hope husband gets full custody and book it asap. Those kids need protection from this “mom”. They have 18 months to make those arrangements permanently. Sad situation.
He was only an assistant manager at a Best Buy.. they had this big beautiful house, children were always dressed to the 9s, they were in day care.. how were they doing all that is my question.
@@jennalyn6704 good question...
@@bioshawna haha right? That’s a question I always ask when I see something odd like a family where only 1 parent is working a minimum wage job the other stays home, & they have children, nice houses, cars ect. 9 times out of 10 it’s generational wealth or their credit cards are maxed out, second mortgage on the home. Did you hear anything about them having money problems before this? Also if it’s not 1 of those 2 do u have any theories? I’m always curious what other ppl think when it comes to this stuff.
@@jennalyn6704 I'm wondering if her husband's parents potentially had some money they were helping them out with. It certainly doesn't make any sense!
@@jennalyn6704 Yes they were having money problems. That's why many suspect Keith knew a lot more than he let on in order to cash in on the interviews, victim compensation and Go Fund me money. It was 4 years before a conviction was made. The Lifetime movie depicts this side of the story rather well.
I know she was willing to let James take the fall if he never gave up her secrets. I find him more than a little odd. Am I the only one? He was so willing, even if he believed she was being abused, why all the theatrics like hurting herself, and so dramatically, like the burn and helping to break her nose. What was wrong with his famiky, seeing the story and seeing her at James' house but didn't demand he tell the police after the news of the "kidnapping", " beating", etc. He is timid yes, but is he competent?
She should have gotten way more prison time than she did. She should have received the same amount of time as someone would have had they kidnapped her.
@@JakeKoenig This isn’t about Jussie stay on topic
@3:47 see how she's sitting with her legs drawn into her chest like a teenager, then @10:37 when finally caught in a lie, she buries her head in her hands to avoid eye contact & cries. This is what a child does when caught in a lie.
We're essentially looking at a 13 year old frozen in a 40 year old body. Untreated childhood trauma is the root cause of this whole mess. If that trauma was so bad that she was forced to lie, runaway & create an alternate reality to cover it up, then this whole saga is just a replay/repeat of the same circumstances. She even made her “kidnapper” abuse her as part of the process, which would be a replay of prior abuse.
I’d like to know what really went on in & around the home she grew up in, it would likely explain her mental illness.
sometimes people are just nut cases, there's not always a nice trauma story behind their crazy, they are just F'd up people
I heard that her parents were alcoholics.
😂😂😂
Some people ARE the mental illness that happens to people. I believe SHE is the mental illness you speak of…..SHE can cause childhood trauma. To her own kids. Glad that man left her. She needs help. And her kids to be away from that kind of illness, so it doesn’t cause them to grow up to become liars and cheaters and pathological.
This is some deep reflection but I too would like to know. I totally see what you’re seeing and it is awful how the environment that parents or caregivers provide can completely create a disturbed, stunted and traumatized human being.
Anyone here after the Carlee Russel came?!
Who
While I agree with many other comments, it is disheartening that she received such a relatively small sentence for something that caused such pain and suffering to a family and a community not to mention all the time and money spent because of her lies and deception but then again this is the new America that some people want where Justice is applied differently to different people
This ol gal had me truly believing that she had been taken! I can remember praying for her & her husband who you could tell was clearly suffering & doing everything he could do to find her & bring her home. You could tell that her husband was not just truly suffering but was sincere. I was completely convinced she had been kidnapped up until her arrest.
I always knew the little huzzy was lying. There was just something weird about it all. But I thought the husband was involved too somehow. Who uses phrases like “her signature long blond hair was cut off”? They both seemed so histrionic. I was wrong about him but right about her.
I feel so bad for the husband and kids. What a vile woman to put them through so much stress and anguish. She needs to be kept out of the general public until she gets intensive help.
No, she needs to be in jail for a long long time to think long and hard what she did was wrong.
Agreed. Looks like her husband divorced her this year, and on top of that she got sentenced to 18 months in prison and a huge fine. So at least she got was what coming to her.
@MOONL⚡️GHT LOVE 💓 God's love ain't gonna fix this harpy
@MOONL⚡️GHT LOVE 💓 lmao no, that’s absolutely not how it works with people that have clinical pathologies 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ You’re in a cult.
Exactly and It's time there was a national conversation. I'm not saying that we go back to asylums and the Horror that they caused... But it's time to have a Conversation about mental illness and what is genetic and what you can pass on. It's time to act responsibly on what kind of society we are creating voluntarily. People need to be aware that most things are genetic like addictions, like mental illness, like bipolar. Sure, people can overcome sometimes... But what suffering do they go through? What kind of struggles do they go through to even find out what they're dealing with? If you had a genetic reading Of yourself & your family before having kids, & Your partner had their reading... Would you even choose to have children? Is it a responsible choice to not breed people like this?
Stop calling her the perfect mom!!! She had her kids in fulltime daycare yet pretended to be a sahm much like shannon watts
Arrghh... I was wondering where Part 2 was then saw part 1 came out today.
Good program.
The only problem with these sort of documentaries onUA-cam is that they often don't are not categorized well, so the the next part may be hard to find...
Damn.. I just watched the 20/20 full story and I have to say, I feel awful for Keith. That Man really cared and loved his wife and kids. I just don't get how Sherri could do this to them. She needs help, and I hope she gets it.
It's not her who needs help...rather everyone else who knows her that do - after having to deal with her!
There were plenty of red flags he chose to ignore. He is blissfully ignorant.
Everyone who knew especially her family should’ve tell him, I hate when family hide that their child has mental disorder like it’s nothing, like it’s not going to backfire eventually.
Where did you find the rest
An entitled Caucasian who's never content or appreciative!
“ Her name is Sherri Panini” 😂
😂
Ummm..the reporter said "beautiful blonde," excuse me? Have you seen that toothy smile and bulging 👀 eyes, that seem to follow you around like a Rembrandt portrait at a fine art museum. She has Jeff The Killler vibes all over.
She better have to be paying for all the resources they used to find her!
She should have to my ex husband (from when I was a minor myself-long story) had a auto body shop and car dealership he got greedy and met some people who would apparently steal cars take it to his shop where he would buy the identical car at auctions (they were crashed cars) then switched the vins or whatever (I don’t know all the details as he lied to me, it wasn’t until our house was raided that I learned of all this and was 17 with a baby he was almost 30) anyways the end result was his dealer license revoked, probation and he had to PAY BACK HIS VICTIMS which was on payments of like $1800 a month for a lonnnng time. I always wonder if he stills pays for that. We had a child together but she wants nothing to do with him but for other reasons so I have no clue.
She has no money. How is she going to pay anyone?
she has been ordered to pay $300,000
@@danstrayer111 Not happening. She has no assets and is homeless. Staying with relatives.
@@lizdahl847 probably so.
OJ Simpson was ordered to pay 30 mil and never paid any of it.
I just finished watching "The Perfect Wife: Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini," and it was truly awful. The third episode was particularly distressing. The truth came out, but Keith, her now ex husband, still had to live with her until the investigation was done. Their argument in the backyard, where she cruelly said, "I have to live with the fact that you never found me," was so evil. Keith had been desperately trying everything to bring her home, while she was actually living with her ex. It was incredibly disrespectful and disgusting. Additionally, when Keith revealed that she made the kids breathe alcohol fumes to take them to the hospital, it was horrifying to realize she almost endangered their lives too. What a shame! It’s hard to fathom how someone could go to such lengths and cause so much pain. The way Sherri manipulated everyone, especially Keith, was truly appalling. Watching Keith beg her "kidnappers" to bring her home, only to find out she was with her ex the entire time, was heart-wrenching. Her actions were not just deceitful but cruel, showing no regard for the immense pain and fear she caused her family.
Well said!!! I agree 💯!!
Do you know how much money and time the investigation takes? She should have to pay every cent, apologize to all other ACTUAL victims she took resources from, and be jailed for 10x the amount she got. Disgusting human.
Yes!!! and Keith should not pay the cost in anyway (he's suffered enough).
“Caught sleeping and see the kid nappin , never did happen - like Sherri Papini..” -Eminem 🤌🏾😂

Never heard of this until that Eminem bar on Houdini
If Keith was arrested or the number one suspect, does anyone believe she would have come back earlier?
Nope.
No
Maybe she was hoping for that. Like “let’s see what happens” kind of thing. If she was stupid and cruel enough to pretend to be kidnapped, she obviously didn’t care about her family. She knew spouses/partners are the first to be under suspicion and she did it anyway.
She needs more than 18 months, i believe if 2 women would have been picked up for fitting the description, she would have went along

the sheri panini part got me laughing
How come black women don’t get this type of coverage
It's systemic racism, that is so baked into the fabric of American society, that corporate media chooses profit (missing-white-woman syndrome) over people they deem less valuable in every aspect. It's that more despicable...especially when you consider that the majority of those who make false reports to the police are predominantly white women.
And the MAGA and Blue Lives Matter folks...
Do you know a black women who abandoned her children and husband, faked an abduction, blamed hispanic women, Waisted tax payer money, and hundreds of police force hours just to have an affair?

That’s not even her natural hair color. You can see her darker roots in one of the clips
When I first heard of this story, it sounded like absolute bs. If someone would have been arrested for this, she wouldn’t have even said a word.
She wouldn't have cared if someone went down for her lies...she only care a about herself
what was the point to all of this? Attention? because she put the hispanic community at risk, wasted police time and resources, makes me sick to my stomach - nevermind the damage to her ex husband, her family and her own children. Sickening
She owes the compensation fund like 300k. I feel 20 years in prison would warrant this crime as well
She was a stay at home mom and then have a daycare?
My prayers go out to her ex husband and kids!
Anyone who takes a lie to this extent, definitely doesn't need to be in society. I'm glad she ratted herself out.
