REDDING, Calif. -- The husband of a Northern California woman found bound along the side of a road three weeks after vanishing says the woman was “branded,” burned, had “chain marks” and her hair cut off and weighed only 87 pounds after her rescue.
Keith Papini said in a statement released to Good Morning America that investigators told him to “brace himself” before he was re-united with his wife at a hospital Thanksgiving Day because of her battered condition. Investigators say Sherri Papini, 34, was abducted Nov. 2 after going for a jog near Redding.
Her husband told Good Morning America the woman’s captors threw her from a moving car with a chain around her waist and a bag over her head, and she used the bag to flag down a passing motorist. She was found about 150 miles south of where she disappeared.
“Nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to see upon my arrival at the hospital, nor the details of the true hell I was about to hear,” Keith Papini said. “The mental prison I was in over the past three weeks was shattered when my questions of my wife’s reality became known.”
Keith Papini said the woman was emaciated, her “signature long, blond hair” had been cut off, and her face was “covered in bruises ranging from yellow to black because of repeated beatings, the bridge of her nose broken.” He said the woman had “severe” burns, red rashes, and scabs.
“Sherri was taken from us for 22 days, and suffered incredibly through both intense physical agony and severe mental torture,” Keith Papini said in the statement. “My reaction was one of extreme happiness and overwhelming nausea as my eyes and hands scanned her body. I was filled with so much relief and revulsion at once. My Sherri suffered tremendously and all the visions swirling in your heads of her appearance, I assure you, are not as graphic and gruesome as the reality.”
Speaking on Good Morning America, Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko confirmed the details about Sherri Papini’s condition, but said his office had not yet publicly released the information. He wasn’t able to confirm Keith Papini’s account of the woman being thrown from a moving vehicle, saying the information he had indicted the woman was dropped off, bound, by her captors.
Investigators were on Sunday able to conduct their first in-depth interview with the woman, Bosenko said. Based on information she gave police, investigators are searching for two Hispanic women armed with a handgun and driving a dark SUV.
Bosenko said investigators still haven’t been able to determine a possible motive or whether the abduction was targeted or random.
In the statement, Keith Papini blasted those who had speculated on social media that the woman’s abduction was a hoax.
“Rumors, assumptions, lies, and hate have been both exhausting and disgusting. Those people should be ashamed of their malicious, sub human behavior,” he said. “We are not going to allow those people to take away our spirit, love, or rejoice in our girl found alive and home where she belongs.”

I’ll bet her abductors are two gay women.
My guess is there are two of her HS antagonistas that could not grow up......................
That does sound weird. I’d have expected “As bizarre as this incident is, sadly it’s real, and those saying otherwise have made a deplorable mistake. We ask for the prayers rather than the condemnations of the public. Thank you.”
Could very possibly be.

Not necessarily. He’s seen his wife in a near death state. Not everybody is going to put words together that are rational or well out together. There will always be a degree of verbal diarrhea in these matters.
I don’t dispute her version of events...but this is very odd.
Also, who would think a few cranks would “take away our spirit (and) love”? That he calls her “our girl” is also kind of strange.
Will be waiting to hear more about this.
While it is possible, my thought is still, just because of the seriousness, that there is still something more to this. Many people lead double lives, contrary to how they seem, and get into a lot of trouble.
Dreamers?
What an awful story.
I’ve never heard that any cartels were big on “warnings”. Except, of course, that your corpse will be their warning to the next guy who doesn’t pay up.
His description, “signature long blond hair” was odd too.
Now that she is back, why don’t he and she get off of social media and protect their family’s privacy?
“Sounds like she was abducted by satanists...”
BLM. Hope she hasn’t been knocked up! Beautiful woman, who will have nightmares every night for the rest of her life. Horrible!

A very weird story so far.
Northern California has some very strange, twisted people who do very strange things.
This has all the markings of a random abduction or an abduction by an acquaintance.
There are a number of past events where people were kidnapped, imprisoned and sexually tortured for months on end and eventually murdered.
Not just in California either.
A woman named Kayla Brown was abducted and held in a cargo container in South Carolina for several months before being discovered.
The body of her boyfriend and two other people were found buried area the container.
This woman was very lucky to be found alive.
I suspect simply anti-white racists inspired by Obama and his supporters.
Hence the reason why there is no media on it.
If so, it’ll be a Subaru SUV.
