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 womans 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 wifes 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 Papinis condition, but said his office had not yet publicly released the information. He wasnt able to confirm Keith Papinis 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 havent 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 womans 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.
Could be though you’d think she’d recognize someone from high school. Also, skin heads and KKK doesn’t fit with Latinos. Makes no sense but then none of this does. Wonder if that branding on her actually means something or if it’s random burns.
One missed tossed salad and she’d be emaciated.
The only reason she is being ridiculed is because of White hatred. Hating on Whitey is as cool as you can get, as is reveling in their suffering, no limit to which we apparently richly deserve.
Emaciated..?
How long was she gone for...?
Sounds like petty racial revenge by people who KNOW her.
This probably isn’t the end of this.
The blog about the Latinos supposedly attacking her just rings false, which is not to say that she wrote it and made it up.
The husband’s comments also ring false. He sounds like he’s writing a novel or a screen play, and he doesn’t write well at all. Those comments are considered, not the first thing that came to his mind.

The public right now does not have a right to know every last salacious detail of what this wife and mother went through.
Early on law enforcement cleared the husband of suspicion in the disappearance which to a large degree also clears Sherri of a great deal of suspicion.
This is also not the first abduction like this in California in recent years. There was another in Vallejo where law enforcement and internet detectives had no doubt that it was a hoax.
They were wrong.

Doesn’t make sense?
Since when does that kind of thing ever make sense?
She was missing for three weeks. She weighed 87 lbs when found. Authorities are looking into a possible connection with a previous divorce.
Well chit! That REALLY narrows it down.
Yessiree, that's something you don't see everyday.
The Butler did it.
It's right out of "It was a dark and stormy night....."
I still smell a rat.
Leni
A former pnb-ette of mine is in the clear since she is white. I wouldn’t put anything past that evil hag.
The thought of anti-white racists has crossed my mind, too.
If you read the Daily Mail article, it’s pretty clear it is anti-white racists who attacked her.
The hair-cutting is a clue, too.
Unless YOU have proof of something different - STFrig up.
Did she torture herself - wounds show several - old and new - down to 87 pounds - did she deliberately starve herself - etc. YOU DON”T KNOW CR*P
Get a life - unworthy of a Freeper - at least what FR used to be,
thinks I’m disrespectful? Not NEARLY as much as you -
Doubt that....with a walker. : )
Her ex-husband is saying she did not write that blog. Someone that hated her supposedly wrote it in her name as a prank.
Until you become the target that is. Then you will understand his position a little bit better.
Holy Cow!
Either some people have a Satanic hatred for her or there is some duplicitous mental issues involved.
Regardless, this family needs severe prayers!
If the cartel was involved, she would have been returned in several bags.
