Message Found Burned Onto Sherri Papini’s Skin Following Return

Sherri Papini had allegedly been “thrown out of a car” near that location by her unknown female abductors, three weeks after they had taken her from alongside the road in Redding, California, as the mom was going on a “routine jog”.

The mystery surrounding the kidnapping of Sherri Papini, a Redding area woman who vanished on November 2 and three weeks later was dumped on a road in Yolo County, has gained national attention.

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.

Husband says Redding mom found emaciated, beatenThe sheriff said Papini has been “cooperative and courageous” during interviews with detectives in the past few days.

Bosenko said authorities are looking for two Hispanic women armed with a handgun and driving a dark-colored SUV.

“Both of the subjects spoke in Spanish the majority of the time of her captivity”, said Sheriff Bosenko.

Sherri said that one of the women had long curly hair, thin eyebrows and pierced ears. The other woman accused of abducting Sherri Papini was described as being a bit older and having long, black hair with some gray in it and thicker eyebrows.

The 34-year- old mother of two, who was abducted November 2 while jogging near her Mountain Gate home, has been “cooperative and courageous” during extensive interviews with detectives conducted over the past two days, Bosenko said.

Keith Papini told ABC News’ 20/20 in an exclusive interview that his wife told him she had been in a vehicle with her alleged captors and that her right arm was chained to something inside the auto but her left hand was free.

“The same bag she used to flag someone down once she was able to free one of her hand”.

Officials have not detailed what the seared message said.

Keith Papini reportedly released his statement to counter rampant speculation in social media that his wife’s abduction was a hoax or tied in with a post she purportedly made in 2003 on a now-defunct white supremacist website.

Sheriff Bosenko did confirm that Ms Papini had been branded, but declined to provide further detail. However, Bosenko said, “I would think that that was some sort of either an exertion of power and control and/or maybe some type of message that the brand contained”.

Papini’s husband Keith has released details to the media on this case (see his statement below).

He added: “She screamed so much, she said she was coughing up blood”.

On Wednesday, authorities released new details about Ms Papini’s alleged assailants after interviewing the 34-year-old mother-of-two for the third time.

“We don’t know what the motive or the reason for the abduction was”, he says. He also thanked the community for being active in helping submit tips to help them find her.

Shasta County Police Sheriff Tom Bosenko confirmed that rumour for the first time in an interview with the Today Show this morning.

“We still do not have a motive as to why Mrs. Papini was taken”, he said.

But in a sign of how “wonderful” Sherri Papini is, she anxious that drivers were put off by the chains she still had shackled to her body – so she tried to hide them, Keith Papini said.

“Rumours, assumptions, lies, and hate have been both exhausting and disgusting”, he wrote, according to KABC.
