A new three-part docuseries from Hulu recounts the story of a devoted mother who apparently faked her own kidnapping and torture.
Sherri Papini was regarded by all who knew her as a “supermom” who went above and beyond for her two young children as well as her husband Keith. So when the blonde-haired, blue-eyed 34-year-old vanished in 2016 while on a jog not far from her Redding, California, home, her family and the community were rocked. It wasn’t long before Sherri’s disappearance became national news, and things only got stranger when, 22 days later, she was miraculously found, the apparent victim of brutal torture.
On Nov. 2, 2016, Sherri dropped her kids off at daycare and went for a routine run. When Keith arrived home from work later that day and didn’t find her or the children waiting for him, he became suspicious. He soon learned that his son and daughter were never picked up, and that no one had heard from Sherri. When he snooped around the nearby area, he discovered her cellphone and headphones on the ground near their mailbox.
In both archival footage and new conversations, Keith comes across as deeply shaken by this entire affair, beginning with the search for Sherri. That ended when, 22 days after she had left home and never returned, she was found on the side of a highway, chained up and crying for help. Worse, her arms and legs were covered in bruises, her face was battered and her nose was broken, and her back had been branded with words that seemed to say something about “Exodus.
