Whether you are revisiting the 2016 headlines or discovering the case for the first time through the lens of actress Jaime King, the real-life timeline of this disappearance is more twisted than any Hollywood script.
The mystery began on November 2, 2016, when Sherri Papini went for a routine jog in her Redding, California, neighborhood and seemingly vanished into thin air. Her husband, Keith Papini, found her cell phone and earbuds on the side of the road, sparking a frantic nationwide search. For 22 days, the country watched and prayed for the mother of two. On Thanksgiving Day, a miracle appeared to happen when Sherri was found alive on the side of a highway 150 miles from home. She was emaciated, bruised, and bound in chains, claiming she had been abducted at gunpoint by two Hispanic women who tortured and branded her during her captivity.
