Sherri Papini hoax theory news: Did California mom stage her own abduction?

Sherri Papini, the 34-year old mom who went missing on Nov. 2 after leaving her Redding, California home for an early morning jog, has been recovered and reunited with her family. Little is known about what took place in the three weeks that she was gone and motives behind the alleged abduction. This has led to hoax theories claiming the mother of two staged her own kidnapping.

Papini was located on Interstate 5 in Northern Yolo county on Thanksgiving, appearing starved and heavily bruised. Her husband, Keith, provided a graphic description of his wife shortly after she was recovered.

"Her face covered in bruises ranging from yellow to black because of her repeated beatings. The bridge of her nose broken," Keith wrote in a statement, according to PEOPLE. "She has been branded and I could feel the rise of her scabs under my fingers," he added.

However, it seems that it is Papini's vague description of the perpetrators — two Hispanic women with a handgun driving a dark-colored SUV — that has been earning her doubters. Several Netizens have questioned the authenticity of her abduction story.

On a Denver Post report, PlanoJoe commented, "I saw a news report that stated she gave a 'vague' description of her abductors. Again, seems odd it would be so vague given she was with them for 3 weeks."

Others point to an uncovered post from the archives of the now inactive pro-white website skinheadz.com by someone using Papini's maiden name, Sherri Graeff. The lengthy letter talked about cruelty experienced by her father from Latinos and her own violent encounter with some of them.

Papini's ex-husband, David Dreyfus, however, disclosed that it was a high school enemy who wrote the letter as a prank against her, according to DailyMail.com.

Meanwhile, Heavy reported that an anonymous source tipped that Papini's extended family claimed she staged her own kidnapping 10 years ago.

Nevertheless, authorities do not appear swayed by hoax theories circulating online. "We currently have no reason to disbelieve Sherri Papini's story," Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said, as reported by ABC News. "She was assaulted and had injuries which she was treated for," he added.

A full investigation into Papini's alleged abduction case is underway.
