California Kidnapped Mother Update

Noel7 — Tue, 29 Nov 2016 12:47:24 GMT

The husband of Sherri Papini has reported that she was unrecognizable when he first saw her in the hospital. Her face and body was covered in bruises, her nose broken and her hair chopped off. There was other evidence of continued torture.

What a terrible ordeal. I hope those who did this and left her in chains are caught soon.

The Los Angeles Times reports police have not released "sensitive information" and the investigation is active and critical.

GMA will have a report on the kidnapping this morning.

How horriic! I pray the poor woman and her family can get all the help they need and that the perps are caught.

I imagine, unfortuneately, there will still be those who don't believe her story.

@happycat

I agree with you. The poor woman was down to 87 lbs when found. She obviously was held against her will.

Omg! Such torture! And two women did this? Hopefully, they didn't do anything irreversible. It's a blessing that they didn't kill her.

There has to be a motive for this. It wasn't money so I cannot figure out what. I'm 60 miles from where she was let out. I'm sure they will leave no stone unturned in this investigation.

Road ahead will take courage and strength. Same is true for her husband and family members. Deepest scars can't be seen. Truly believe in prayers along with proper therapy. Individual needs are different, PTSD effects other aspects of the victims life as well as close relationships. Family probably also need therapy separately. Hope the media will respect the need of privacy. Survivor myself can't imagine dealing with media & public under magnifying glass.

@Stardust2, yes, I'm sure there is a reason but not necessarily a rational reason. Maybe, if it's these two women as the victim stated, maybe they just felt like hurting someone and this jogger comes along. Maybe she was too cute and looked like an easy target. We can't figure people out these days. So sad. Think about times when you say hello to someone on the street and instead of answering in kind, they look at you with a frown without a word. Look at how people are willing to think the worst about you sometimes before discussing the issue instead of taking the positive road.

Lord knows it would be nice if we could figure out the reasons that people do and say what they do. Some either need to be on medication or are prescribed medication and don't take it regularly which makes it worse.

@Stardust2

I left out the more gory details, perhaps that was their motive. It seems there is a very thorough investigation going on and outsiders are involved. An anonymous person is said to be helping out with her medical expenses.

I thought of PTSD also. I would think it will be a long time until she and her husband rest easily. And the children... to see their mother that way will be horrifying.

Reminder for anyone on the west coast:

GMA will have a report on this, probably on their 7 am news. Off to watch it now...

I read what else they did to her (no, I won't mention it here), but it is just sickening the level of depravity.

I would not be surprised if Sherri is not these two women's first victim.

I don't know how it is even possible to recover from something like that.

My heart goes out to Sherri and her family.

They have a long, hard road ahead of them.

My experience happened over 48 years ago. In and out of hospital most of my life. Finally, Some relief with proper therapy. Yet! Daily basis of flashbacks, Some last longer than expected. Fact is, Never leaves me. Differcult explaining to someone hasn't experienced. Like rewatching old slide movie, Replays over and over. Even happens under calm circumstances. Tried medications made me very sick! Choose not taking meds. Mental therapies, Has it's limitations.

Yes, they're obviously twisted, this might not be their only crime, especially if they get away with it.

TTYL...

This even must bring back horrible memories for you, I am so sorry.

Whenever I read horrible stories such as this, and the things people do to children and animals, I wonder how the heck people can be so cruel and what has led them to losing their humanity. And these are only the stories we read about; Lord only knows what others go through daily that go unnoticed. I only pray all victims of terrible crimes can find peace of mind and heart at some point in their lives.

I just read there was an anonymous donation of $100,000 for a ransom . They say it might be given to the family. I hope it is. She is going to need help

A new thread for this? We were already discussing updates on the other thread.

Memories are always close. Reason originally spoke out in another thread few started doubt the victim. So important not to jump to conclusions. See this situation. I'm okay, Thanks for caring.💗
