In today's true crime documentary, we're covering the case of Sherri Papini and analyzing the interrogation from an educational legal and psychological perspective.
"Keith Papini, Sherri Papini's husband, officially filed for divorce just days after she pleaded guilty to lying to federal officials about her 2016 kidnapping and mail fraud. According to Shasta County Superior Court, Keith Papini was also granted custody of their children through an emergency order." This pleases me greatly.
Especially since California is a "mommy state." Aka "States that strongly favor the mother." Give you an idea my brothers friends brother was getting divorced and the mom routinely dropped her kids off at his mom's house so she could go party. Like they'll be there for marathons almost a straight month which was hard on them for many reasons. She would spam her and her friends at night clubs, getting shit housed, and top it off she was a rampant cheater. He filed for divorce and immediately she deleted every party photo and spammed "best mom ever!" she and her friends claimed her husband as an abusive alcoholic. He how our state ran so before all this he gave his property over to his closest friends and siblings. Divorce went through and she got partial custody he became basically a weekend dad while she had full custody along with alamony and child support. Basically reamed him hard. For a little bit his ex wife was playing "mommy of the year" until the dust settled. She then would dump her kids on both grandma's and partied by night MLM by day. She even claimed her daughters "were mommies #1 customer." When that money was supposed to be used for the kids.
@@iamjustgregI can't imagine after abandoning her kids she would be very highly favored to get anything granted from the court. If I'm Keith, I'd be asking the court to never let her near those kids again. Even putting abandoning them aside, what father would want such a sick, twisted, narcissistic liar of such disgusting proportions to ever have any influence in his kid's lives? That's what I'd argue. That her mental disorders are extremely unhealthy for them and that if the courts allowed her to be in their lives, it would be a conscious decision of the court to endanger their upbringing. Then again... The courts certainly aren't always just either and it wouldn't surprise me if she got visitation rights.
On the same day Sherri faked an abduction. Stacey Smart went missing that day, in the same area, and remains missing to this day. While Sherri Papini was wasting everyone’s time, Stacey Smart has been largely forgotten. Hardly any attention has been placed on Stacey Smart’s case.
I can’t imagine how devastated her family is knowing that this woman wasted so much time and resources for her pathetic selfish lies, when they could have been using these resources, especially media on an actual victim. This woman deserves to be behind bars for her wasting everyone’s time and putting so many through so much grief
The husband when they said “we found who’s responsible” and he was so physically excited he couldn’t control his reaction. Knowing it’s all fake makes my heart drop for him..
Yeah it broke my heart to be honest ;c This whole thing was crazy, faking a kidnap just to cheat on your god damn husband? She's pathetic, He showed actual concern and happiness to her.
@@tenxclipsat the beginning of the interrogation when the narrator hasnt directly hinted yet that she is probably lying, i already noticed that her mood was inadequate, she was storytelling like someone who explains their vacation trip to friends, and the fake crying that lasted 20 seconds was absolutely hilarious
@@tenxclips The thing is she didn't even cheat on him (atleast this time). James and her didn't had sex according to the police officers - she just wanted some twisted attention out of this whole ordeal it seems. Really strange ...
Yeah and the " how will she come back now that's its such a big story" thing is chilling now. I hope she didn't know the whole time and was withholding evidence.
@@zyxw-oe8hgI doubt it. I don't think she would have been so forthright about a hunch like that if she were involved... She just saw through the bullshit, I think. And she was brave. Because at the time, w/ everyone thinking she was abducted or killed, it would have been ballsy to claim so definitively that she had simply run away. At least in my opinion... She could have been branded a monster if she had been wrong.
@@ZijnShayatanica i honestly don't think she knew either and call it intuition or being psychic but lime you stated a hunch, those are more likely. Its just so spot on that it feels so ironic and surreal given the outcome.
As despicable as this woman is, I couldn't help but laugh out loud when the detective asked if she could hear music in the car and she replied "yessss.. mariachi music" as if that's what Latino kidnappers listen to as they're going about their evil business.
@@evansgate yea but having an entire nation searching for you when you’re not actually in danger and somebody is, your a selfish asshole. And I believe thats what the original comment is alluding to
The part about Keith not showing much reaction to Sherri’s interrogation… When I grew up with an extremely unstable mother, I slowly became very desensitized to her behavior over time. She’d break down crying and admit she’s a terrible mother so often that me and my siblings just stopped reacting to it
My sister is a psychopath. It made my childhood, and adolescence a living hell. (I'm on my 30's). The closer friends I have and trust my life are her ex childhood close friends who saw it all. People would believe me if I claim an alien abduction comparing to the nothing my family and friends believe me about if I claim something about her. She is a Ted Bundy without the killing (that I know of). Now she married a rich and vulnerable guy, she convince him to block me from all social media. I know her male body/personality likes. He isn't one of them. I'm afraid of what could happen to him. But everyone who ever dispute her, lost. Lost family connection as me, lost their jobs, lost their marriages so no one is willing to stand on her way. Neither do I. I'm trying to do the proper paperwork to change name, last name and disappear from family and known friends except from the people I know where her play toys.
Yeah that was really odd, maybe they were thinking "Sweet over time" I know some daycares will take care of kids and then charge an extra fee if the parents are running late, but yeah several hours? Crazy to me there was no phone call from what it said.
The whole time she was talking I could tell it was a lie.All she talks about is how she felt not anything else and when she describes anything she can’t explain it. She makes no sense.
I assumed the daycare wasn’t closed yet so while later than normal it wasn’t “late” - Keith wasn’t in a rush to find them so I just figured the daycare was open that late
The foresight of the friend saying “She had had enough and walked away. But, now that this situation has exploded, she ‘can’t’ just come back” is as incredible as it is true. She was so spot on from the get go.
That seemed to be one of the only people in her life who could read the fine print & didn't put on rose-tinted glasses concerning Sherri's antics. It was surprising what a legit appraisal she was able to provide.
She knows her friend Sherri aint shit; she loves her but won't sugarcoat her bs for her either. That's a real friend who sees you for who you really are and isn't afraid to call it like it is.
@@nikitadondivain this specific instance being a "friend" to Sherri is pretty much a sign that you yourself are morally corrupt. Imagine knowingly being a friend to a narcissistic cheating whore that abandones her kids.
@@sandrathomsen1326 It's in the video. The detective says they found "seminal fragments." He says she probably got it from the bed or the couch, but that's still his semen on her clothes. _Something_ happened between them. You don't just sit on a friend's couch and pick up semen.
All I could think was the South Park episode where Butters mom pushed him into a river. “It was some Puerto Rican guy. He was average Puerto Rican size.”
Keith is the real victim in all of this. I feel so bad for him. When he became celebratory thinking they found her “abductors” only for her to calm him down & the police to drop the bomb of what actually happened. So sad. I hope he is doing better now! Sherri is a horrible person
@@cartergomez5390She was texting and talking to several guys. I’m not an expert but it seems as though she needed constant attention from other men to reaffirm her attractiveness. I would say she was trying to make a move up in her living situation.
@@geraldinecrosby424wait, she wanted to have sex with him but he turned her down? And we’re talking about the ex bf that she conned into helping her right?
Man I feel so bad for the husband because he was legitimately terrified that his wife was kidnapped while at the same time, the cops and the public considered him the prime suspect. God bless him.
@@waverazorThe woman spun up a massive web of lies and and staged an abduction with her ex boyfriend. Her husband and her children are the victims in this case
When she's released a judge is probably giving her full custody with supervised visits by the father as always is the case. Like the mother who had several mental issues, abused drugs, problems with the law and even the agency doing inspections recommended she should NOT receive custody, even her own parents were against it, eventually a judge gave her custody but set a date for the father to contest it before, then cancelled the appointment and gave custody to her. And as you can imagine she shot her child several times with a shotgun and was caught carrying the body in her car
I never understood that either. Apparently that's a thing. I was always a working mother until 4 years ago. I was a nurse's aide for 17 years, i started taking care of my disabled uncle at home once my grandfather got too old to care for him. So now I work from home, I can stay home with my youngest child (3 years old) I wasn't able to do that with my other 3 children who are all grown now (26, 24 and 17 years old) I enjoyed working but I hated leaving my kids when they were little. So I love being able to stay home with my baby girl, even though I'm also taking care of my uncle. I wouldn't put her in daycare, for what???
The amount of shit this man had to deal with for YEARS after her insane lie is mind boggling. It’s almost worse than the original lie, keeping up with it and playing this role, adding to it, garnering so much sympathy and love from him…I think it might be the worst betrayal imaginable. How will he ever trust anyone ever again. Seriously traumatizing
@@ALT-vz3jn- She may get supervised visitation in town that he lives in. That can be one hour a week or even less than that. It is rare, but in some cases, she may not get anything at all depending on how the divorce order is written.
I think this is the most interesting case this channel has ever covered. Instead of some murderer or murderers, it's a even more bizarre elaborate fake abduction ruse all orchestrated by the "victim". She made sure she experienced real stuff so she could describe details of the fake abduction without 100 percent lying. Used burner phones and self harm and obviously a lot of pre planning went into a lot of the details by her. And it is so satisfying to see the agents at the end confront her calmly about the truth, and her still try to cry and lie.
When the truck driver found her and while talking to the 911 operator he said "she's saying that she got kicked out of her boyfriends..." I wouldn't be surprised if she did let that slip in her hysterical rant. Kinda figured from that point this was were it was leading.
I felt so bad for her husband, it’s so awkward when detectives are revealing to her that they know and she is still trying to convince him that she doesn’t want the girl that “saved her” found out 😂
Luckily he divorced her last year, moved away and apparently is trying to stay out of the lime light and start his life over. I can’t imagine the shock of learning your wife could do such a thing, not only to her husband but to her 2 little kids!? Just how evil can you be! The lowest of the low! She also started her sentence in 2022 but she def deserved more than the 18 months she received.
Most women today are like this unfortunately. But the first rule you have to live by is never form a relationship with any woman that has daddy issues. Period
only 18 months? for YEARS of a cold case and lying and possibly wrongfully accusing two women? dude this system is so fucked. she deserves at least 20 years
That she's making up every word is nauseating. Husbands seems to know her histrionics very well. Obviously, he doesn't believe a word of this crap. Look at that beautiful home! She's a stay home mom and kids go to daycare! This foolish woman is a victim of too much time on her hands! Hope Keith finds a real woman who won't disrespect him like this one.
Her tone, when conversing with the detectives is what did it for me. Too calm…too chilled. She makes me sick 🤢 to my stomach. The scary part for me is that I know several women like her. Praying for Keith and the kiddos 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I don't blame the husband for being on his phone while she tells her story. It's like listening to a six year old trying to describe a dream they had a week ago.
the spouse of a covert (especially if unaware of npd ) typically wont catch on until its FAR to late and they have seen MANY other serious relationship infractions and the steady self esteem shots DO eventually cause extreme embarrassment ), as well as dealing with DAILY pathological lying, which eventually takes its toll,. Which is conditioned in the non disordered spouse over time ... (by threats of rages or ghosting (BIG ghosting sample front and center here , but this time her hubby didnt let her wander off long term for her nasty skeleton life) when they persist in getting reasonable answers ), as your fully expected to suck it up and swallow whatever crazy story your hearing and to "buy them with a smile" and keep to yourself at ALL costs their horrifying backround hidden "revolting behaviour" you've uncovered (what they FOUND is the tip of the iceburg trust me).. these crazy stories become YOUR normal , so he finally probably had to finally detach from the madness;;; to stay sane.
He's like already know you abandon us to go get blown out with Chad for 3 weeks a surprise Chad went 3 weeks with her she was living the dream until homeboy realize this has gone on long enough you got to go
It is so sad seeing Keith get so excited thinking they found her "kidnappers" and then the embarrasement of finding out that she was with her ex! And not only that; why didn't she asked Keith to go outside instead of having him go through recounting her shameful actions. She has no respect or compassion for anyone! That's how selfish and narcisist she is! Shame on her. I hope Keith has recovered from this painful ordeal....🤔🤨😌
He should've never gotten married to her nor reproduced with her. Ol girl was throwing up multiple gynaurmous red flags from the jump. I'm not sure if brodi had a humiliation fetish or something but I am sure of one thing; he's a cuck without a doubt. There's no way he didn't know.
More than anything in this case it pisses me off that people call in giving tips about how her husband was a pos and he threatens to “chop her into pieces” and how “she was so family oriented she would never run away. So crazy how people want to involve themselves in shot so much they will put somebody else in harm.
This is what people call today is becky doing what she has done for decades, lying and crying about her wickedness and lies, this reminds me of the Emmett till case, where Carolyn Bryant, and got the teenager deleted, this has been going on for decades with these types of women, history facts she should go to prison and her husband should take the children and run and never look back 💯💯
Right and if this lady only gets 18 months and that other black female Carlee Russell gets longer for only a 49 hour search for also falsifying a kidnapping. We see where the justice system lies
When I went from being a stay at home to single mom I would have given anything to have had extra time with my kids. Having to work and having no choice but to place your kids in daycare is so different than being so selfish you pawn them off other people instead of parenting.
when the husband was on his phone during the interview in the living room, i personally believe he knew she lied. I mean when you live with someone who has a personality disorder you know when they are fronting or trying to be manipulative.
Yeah, I think he was extremely uncomfortable because he felt himself reacting to her in a way he knew Sherri did not intend or want. He knew he was supposed to feel like she was being 100% honest and genuine, but his brain was telling him that she wasn't being 100% genuine...based on the many years he's had observing her truthfully telling him real stories that feature her genuine emotions, with the help of I'm sure many experiences witnessing her lying. I don't know how much of his instinctive reaction includes, "oh she's obviously lying about these specific details"...but I imagine a lot of it does come from his knowledge of how Sherri talks about people who have hurt her and who she feels wronged by. I bet at least subconsciously, he senses that her negative feelings towards the 2 Hispanic women who kidnapped her and did these horrific things to her aren't genuine, even when she's describing the terrible suffering & trauma they put her through, a completely innocent victim. He has too much knowledge, too much experience, with how she communicates her real feelings towards people. It's super easy to say " oh we don't know how she copes with trauma, how she may hide her feelings, how she communicates, etc." when we have no experience with her...but he knows, so I'm sure it's setting off alarm bells in his head that she's not acting how he would expect, how he knows her to, if all this is genuinely true. Obviously though, he can't reveal that in front of the cops, so his instinct is to hide it, but therefore lie [by omission], pretend to be feeling/thinking something completely different as she talks, etc. He's a good honest person who didn't go into this ready to be anything but his true self, so it's way easier to hide his reaction by being on his phone, plus it gives him the ability to keep himself distracted from the discomfort + the alarm bells I'm sure are ringing out loudly.
He seems to be more of the introvert and might have not likes having a camera in his face but still wanted to be there for her. He might also not have wanted to focus on the details of what happened.
At 34:45 During the 911 call was mentioned Sherri said she was kicked out of her boyfriend’s and her immediate reaction was ‘No!’ I found that really strange already..
Right? He's so happy to know those people have been found and can't hurt anyone, or his wife, again. And then she has the audacity to basically tell him to stop celebrating. You psychologically tortured your husband by faking a kidnapping and assaults and you're gonna tell him to stop being happy about 'justice'? Gurl... That man may have flaws, but he doesn't deserve that shit. Not to mention the little children that've been dragged through their mother's BS. I can only imagine the hell it was for daddy to explain to them why mommy's going away and why they're separating...
She is truly disgusting they way she did that and stopped him from being excited about “them “ being caught and her still trying to lie right to his face makes me so mad what a piece of work she is she needs a mental hospital
Yeah, that was brutal. From massive excitement to utter dismay in minutes, what he must of felt, wow. As the narrator said "an unfathomable amount of emotions", yeah, for sure, I can't even imagine. Because I was sitting there going "wtf?! Where is this going, this is bizarre and confusing?" And I'm sure Keith was feeling much the same. He indicated that in their private conversation too, he was confused and blown away, but obviously becoming increasinglt suspicious and disgusted with her. I'd be utterly blown away too and not know what to think, but I would be angry, confused, disappointed and disgusted and he probably was all that and much more. Then as the story came together, I was like "wow, this just gets more messed up by the second". What a wild, wild tale indeed.
Was excited when told Trump won the 2016 election ("That's so awesome!") and blamed "two Spanish speaking women" for kidnapping and torturing her. Not surprising behavior for a Trump supporter. Crazy AND racist.
Keith was a victim of his wife’s abuse. She had been manipulating him and gaslighting him for years to get what she wanted. His 1st interview with police showed how he doubted his own emotions and he blocked out his gut feelings. He describe how she abused him, even though he didn’t recognize it as abuse. The cops should have notice. I feel like the cops were also victims of her manipulating.
Of course the police were manipulated. She's an absolute doll, and knows exactly how to use it. this is a cautionary example for all men. there's many women who will absolutely use every advantage they can, and never see consequences because of how they look and what they have learned that trait is useful for.
Yes! I agree. Keith was a victim of manipulation and emotional abuse but did not realize it for years. During the last part when he was rejoicing thinking the kidnappers would be finally caught she told him to calm down and he said sorry for not doing anything wrong. When he asked why not press the charges, she lied but instead told him that you're not listening. These are clear signs of an emotional abuse. I just hope Keith finds the right woman and does well with his life with his kids.
I was with someone for 16 years and every few years shed dissappear for a few months. Destroyed my mental health. This woman makes me so freaking angry.
I'm shocked she got such a light sentence. You get 13 years for credit card fraud and less than 2 for faking an entire kidnapping, assault and battery.
@@Dominicgetdown meh she got almost half the max sentence even after pleading guilty. I am not trying to lessen her actions but they didn’t go easy on her.
Look, I don't know if this is the editors at EWU doing this, but if it is, I want to thank them so so so so so much for suppressing the white noise when people aren't talking in the interrogation footage. It's just a small detail that makes the quality of the video skyrocket by doing something that people won't always notice.
Everyone, take note: There is always ONE FRIEND who can see through bs. Every friend group has one. Trust me. Sheri's childhood friend described her hunch in a simple, matter-of-fact way. Her statement was almost scary.
@@cobainzlady Hellllo,,, what kind of answer is that?? did you watch this whole episode?? The childhood friend expressly depicted her character and demeanor as to being a runaway prank type,,, do you realize how arduous of a task this was for the law enforcement to extrapolate all her bs and figure it out over time?? Sherri apparently is a complexed mentally disturbed woman sugar coating things, and presuming she could outsmart the system with her distasteful slouchy feminine charm , where she was busted,,, and lastly where did you come up with whether her friend was a close friend or not, like Police needs your opinion to determine the credibility of a witness ?? ,,,, you sound just like Sherri 😆😆
Kudos to the husband and the detectives for being able to listen to her talk for more than 10 mins without busting out laughing in her face at how stupid she sounds telling this story
The change in demeanor from the detectives is so satisfying. I cannot imagine spending four years of my life trying to help an "innocent" person just to find out they were manipulating me the entire time. They seemed so angry, and rightfully so.
Also the fact that she made the police hunt for the imaginary latina women who 'kidnapped' her is kinda scary cuz who knows if innocent women who fit the description could have been a target of a vigilante or be looked at suspiciously by the police.
And rightfully so. A lot of people were looking for her including volunteers taking time off from their jobs or families. It costs a lot of money for these searches especially since there were police officers taking time out of their family time to look for someone who was scamming everyone. All sorts of people from various jobs volunteered. I’m sure they also used helicopters as well and that costs a lot of money.
@@jasonvoorhees5640 I'm not talking about killing necessarily, I'm talking about getting cops called on innocent people. There have been cases where innocent folks have been imprisoned based on false accusations. A woman was wrongly ambushed in her car because of a mistaken identity. There recently was a vigilante killing btw of a man who was falsely accused of abusing his kids by his ex wife (google Bradley Lyons & Peter Bick).
I'm scarred everytime I remember she voluntarily broke her nose and burnt her skin in order to manipulate her husband. That's another level of messup, she's probably not just a narcissist, she's a psychopath
Psychopath isn't a word to be tossed around, she is definitely not a psychopath but she is certainly a damn froot loop. I have no clue how that timestamp got into the comment.
u might be correct but u mightve missed the part where she/they wanted the kids to get ready for preschool and get some experience being away from home
@@aviertoofye At what point do we stop "getting ready for?" The point of preschool is to get ready for actual kindergarten, head start, or early childhood by providing a classroom-like environment and a way for the children to get used to being away from home/their parents. If we keep preparing for the preparation of the preparation, the kids aren't even going to have object permanence yet.
I feel horrible for Keith. It breaks my heart. He was living his life, being a supportive, providing husband and this lady came with the BS. Of course I don’t know him personally, but the fact she was a stay at home mom and he still paid for childcare tells you he was trying to make her happy.
Those text messages & neighbors hearing screaming & glass breaking tells me it was a very toxic marriage. I've been there! That's not the way to get out. Not great for the kids! Period! They marry for money & it all goes to hell in a basket. 🤑😲😲🤑🤑
Of course all of her friends are like “oh she would never leave her kids, this is uncharacteristic, her husbands an asshole”, meanwhile her coworkers and neighbors of hers growing up are like, “yea she ran away a couple times, slept with a lot of men, she was really mean and we used to call her crazy”
Not only that but she was a STAY AT HOME "MOM" and put her kids into daycare so they could "LEARN". As a loving and devoted mother, you teach your children their ABC's etc and not send them to daycare, at such a young and early age, and not be their Mom. She did this so she could f around with men and have some "single" time, doing what she pleased. As her husband, whom she cheated on multiple times, vilified, and emotionally abused and traumatized, financially supported her. This woman is despicable! She deserves more time than 1.5 years.
I am was abused a lot. I have PTSD and the thought of talking and reliving it, I would shut down, cry uncontrollably, and shake. Sherri is just talking like she was it was just a normal day ,speaking clearly, crying little but talking normally in seconds. How can she chuckle or laugh through this interview???
Yeah, I think a part of him had a feeling, but also its extremely hard to believe, and he gave her the benefit of the doubt, after all who beats and chains them self to cheat? I think a part of that celebration was "Thank god my wife isnt crazy and faked a kidnapping!!!"
When Sherri is telling her story to investigators, and Keith is looking detached, I'm certain it's because he's seen how she acts and speaks when she's lying through her teeth. What slays me is the 911 call. The guy said she was dropped off out of her boyfriend's car, and she instantly freaked and screamed "NO!" then kept yelling about calling her husband.
The detective’s uno reverse on Sheri and telling her the truth about what happened to her is priceless. Her glass house built of lies finally shattered into a million pieces. I just hope that her ex-husband and children can heal from everything that they had to endure.
Very satisfying to watch... I'm hispanic, so I'm biased. But a white supremacist being confronted is the sweetest of music. Her family is probably racist too, but I do hope they're healing from this experience and maybe re-evaluating their belief system.
My heart really goes out to Keith, it's awful how all his kindness and trust for people just got destroyed because Sherri wanted more attention. Hope he always has full custody of their kids, I would never want any child to be subjected to Sherri's manipulation
Lying about anything is just too draining. The extensiveness of keeping the lie alive rather than just telling the truth and letting chips fall where they will is much easier.
It’s disgusting that she pretended to go through this trauma when there are people who HAVE gone through this trauma. What a slap in the face to all the victims that have lifelong mental anguish from being kidnapped. She truly should be ashamed of herself. Keith, I hope you and your kids are doing well and absolutely thriving now.
"It’s disgusting that she pretended to go through this trauma", is sufficient. Even if noone had ever gone through any trauma like this or similar, it's disgusting to pretend something like this happened to her.
@@elmallocYou're misunderstanding what he was trying to say. Yes it's disgusting because of the people who actually have real trauma. But even if no one had trauma like that, it's STILL disgusting. THAT'S how disgusting it is. He was actually saying it's disgusting on a deeper level.
Nailed it 😂 so true thats funny! Every part of her story was just painful to listen to because it was so obvious that she was lying. All the “crying” with no tears in ever. What a piece of work. She had a loving husband and two beautiful kids and decided that the life she had wasn’t enough. So she WENT BACK TO AN EX 🤦♀️ And all the self inflicted injuries? Disgusting. Those poor children. They are going to grow up and know that their mother had destroyed their family, and for what?? Sad
Absolutely. I went in completely blind and had no idea where this whole story was going (which made the whole video so engaging to watch btw) but I noticed myself getting increasingly frustrated with her during that part. I had to pause the video multiple times because it was so difficult and exhausting to listen to her. It was so clear she was just speaking out of her ass and making things up on the spot. My first thought was also that Keiths behaviour wasn't sociopathy but just characteristic of someone who knows that their partner is full of shit but has to sit through it and listen to that crap. Guy was probably playing candy crush to cope
This was one of the most infuriating videos ever, she is just the WORST!! I'm just glad her children are able to learn who she really is, rather than her gaslighting them..
worst guy u coud ever have ... he blindly bealived her wife now he blindly bealives the police , he dosnt know that the only reason he is there is they wanted to lock him aswell... but sadly they had no evidance ...
Her final interview with the detectives is heartbreaking for her loyal and loving husband and HIS children. Sherri should have gotten 18 years not 18 months in prison.
@@BrejetyKirbyTHIS. 309K in debt with a horrible rap sheet for a job to pay it off and no husband to help basically makes that debt unpayable and she’ll basically live the rest of her life as a peasant
Any husband who found journals like that would be angry. It’s not petty. She was cheating on him. Evil woman. Remind me of my ex wife, manipulative, selfish, self entitled. Toxic
Sorry to say but her place is in jail no walking free to can hurt more people, mental trauma for her husband/kid's/family and friends is to much for anyone. If your spouse will do something like this will you let him/her running free?🙏
Guaranteed when she gets out, she's going to be allowed some kind of dual custody or at least visitations to the kids, which is very unfortunate for Keith. She's a huge narcissist, and she's going to pretend she's sorry for sympathy and work her ways with the kids, wouldn't even surprise me if she eventually started implanting lies about Keith to them too. Wish she got longer in jail
The amount of self-harm she inflicted upon on herself just so she could have an affair with some scruffy guy is literally insane. She’s a deeply troubled and scary person.
I really don't think that's what happened. it seems like she just wanted to run away, and started by trying to make it appear she'd been roadside abducted, immediately regretted it once she'd gone through with it, realised there was no way she could just go home and resume her life with things as they were, and then spent the rest of her stay coming up with ways to make it look like she'd actually been kidnapped. Not trying to make excuses for her actions which clearly hurt a lot of people, but she seems like a deeply traumatised and disturbed person and I hope she gets the support she clearly needs. There's no way someone would do the things she did totally pre-meditated, it seems more like she got in over her head trying to run away from a life she felt (probably irrationally) trapped in, then once she'd done it couldn't bear to be away from her kids any longer. It definitely wasn't some scheme she came up with to have an affair, that much is clear. People underestimate how much being abused as a child can destroy you and make you act in ways that seem totally unfathomable to other adults.
James wasn't a scruffy guy...you are wrong to judge him that way...a full beard is not scruffy. He is a victim of this crazy woman just like her hubby and kids...who l hope never get involved with her when they grow up.
@@catrionamacfarlane4949 nothing as extreme as this case but I've seen how childhood trauma can follow a person around through their life and distort their view of everything.
Poor Keith. What a horrible woman. If I were Keith, I would’ve stood up, walked out and called a divorce attorney while she explained to the cops why she’s been lying and leading everyone on for over 4 years
Yay to the judge for taking into account everyone that was impacted by her actions and lies. She’s a despicable to put her family, particularly her kids, through that trauma. Hope she never gets custody of her kids when she’s released and only permitted supervised visitation, if any.
knowing has one sided the courts are to the womans side, bet she easily gets access to the kids and no doubt end up getting custody again. Poor husband will then have t start paying her for having the kids. Men are second class in family court what ever the womans done the same case in the US as well as the UK which is just as one sided too
Can you imagine the audacity when she said “don’t speak to me like that” imagine lying to her husband, children, authorities, and letting it linger for years while wasting everyone’s time and hurting people and when finally trying to manipulate even more
And diverting police resources away from an ACTUAL missing persons case in the same area at the same time. That woman, Stacey Smart, was never found, and who knows if more police time and resources being put towards THAT case might have actually saved a life.
Crazy how you can see all of the friends were trying to bring up Keith in a way to make him sound like he was the reason she went missing. All except the one girl who didn’t lie, “family oriented” yet can’t stay with her own kids and cheats on her husband incredibly often🤦🏻♂️
Definitely sick that all of her friends and family threw him under the bus! Hope they now feel horrible that they were so judgmental of the man who had done absolutely nothing wrong! Shame on them!
Geez!! I know a female who's married into our family who went missing for like a week. She said black guys kidnapped her from the mall and raped her for days. Little does she know that I knew where she was at 2 days before she returned. Other family members took pictures of her eating dinner with them. She was normal in the pics but when she was found she had bruises on her face and body. The person she was with found out they had a missing report and told her she needed to go back home. He dropped her off and said she was fine. It was crazy, terrible and sad that she would go to this type of extent to say and lie about things just to cover up her having an affair.
Im actually heartbroken for the husband. I dated a girl and she would cheat on me by telling guys i was abusing her and theyd pick her up and take her out while i was working. Ive never put my hands on her, we barely even fought. I whole heartedly believed it was the healthiest relationship ive ever been in. Until i was watching a video on her phone one night and a text came through, went through the entire phone. Found 15+ guys in it and she still swears i was abusive and she never cheated. Some women are absolute monsters with no soul or empathy for others. (No, im not gonna change it from "some women" to "some people" because everyone talks about how men are terrible, but nobody ever talks about how terrible women are)
My ex-wife accused me of rape (no evidence, not taking it further than just telling the police and that's it) just to qualify for a free solicitor (lawyer). And here in the UK, that's enough apparently. Meanwhile I'm disabled due to mental illness and I don't qualify for legal aid, I had to do it all myself, without help. I was trying to get back into my son's life, after she had taken him out of mine. She also made lots of ridiculous accusations in court, but got caught in a lie, and the judge didn't buy it and could see she was just trying to keep me out of my son's life. So I'm lucky, I could be in jail right now just from the ridiculous accusations. If she was a more capable liar, she'd be dangerous. My son isn't actually my biological son (but, I was still able to apply in court for contact because: 1) I was married to her at the time of his birth, and 2) I was believed to be the father at the time of birth), because of course she was also a cheater. I'm very confident she was cheating throughout the relationship. But I don't have evidence because she hid it, easily because I'm very trusting.
Man that's deep I look for information like this I'm starting to have feelings again ,im feeling something for you I dont Know what it is,I think it's sympathy I never feel that ever I'm heartless ,because I'm from Chicago I feel like you been thru something real ,damb bro.
@@DayQ85you’re not heartless because you’re from Chicago brother. Open your heart up with people and friends close to you. You have empathy and goodness within you my man.
@@demeter-the-great I know but forreal I'm not like everybody I usually laugh when people get they heartbroken or even die,as sick as that sounds ,I'm just different but I'm changing
My jaw dropped listening to Sherri’s friend absolutely calling what really happened. Insane that a friend can be that insightful. What a shame that close of a friendship was wasted…
The victim of this case is Keith. He thought his wife was gone and had to explain to his son, when asked if mommy was dead. Imagine hearing that from your son. Keith was under suspicion for months, he refused to give up on her. He wanted her found. That day when his life collapsed he honestly thought her kidnappers were found. You could see his excitement quickly change to realizing his wife set this up. So he's the victim here and put up with her crap for years and I'm glad he immediately believed the police. He worked with them for years, he knows they know their stuff and has every reason to believe them. She was accused of lying numerous times and he always defended her until this very moment. The fact he mentioned his grans bathroom tile that she had a bad reaction to because it was similar to the kidnappers. My god she played him with this story for years. I'm glad he divorced her and went for custody of the kids. She's not fit to look after a dog. She should have got more prison time and I’m glad they judge gave her double what the prosecutor asked for. She admits it now to the judge but she still claims she had no idea and her family treat her like she’s the victim still. It’s despicable to know she manipulated the poor guy James who still cared about her and listening to his interview it was easy to see how she manipulated him, and managed to rope him in to this. Yes he didn’t have to but she’s so manipulative such that he rented two cars. To go out of his way to pick her up in Redding and drive her back to his. To let her stay at his house as he picked up the tab and even agreed to help bruise and burn her. He thought her abusive husband would get the jail, she claimed Keith broke her jaw. but those who were more lies, but he did agree to help bruise her thinking the husband would be held to account. All injuries were self inflicted by her and she got him to shoot pucks off her legs she’s sick! She wasted 30,000 of ptsd trauma counseling funds. Not to mention all the police resources wasted that could have went on a woman who actually went missing the same day as Sherri and is still missing to this day. She went to the back burner because she wasn’t young and blonde and pretty like Sherri. She should apologize to the family of that missing woman from Redding since all resources were used on her. How pathetic that she claims she flirted with other men like that explains her supposed kidnapping. She should have admitted it then and there in the face of overwhelming evidence of her involvement and treated her husband and police with some respect! 😡
Great take. James and Keith had no idea, and most people can't see a narcissist at work, let alone one with antisocial PD. Her flirting with other men is just her testing to see how easy they'll be to manipulate. The best thing that came of this is getting her away from their kid, ASPD parents can do very evil things.
She should have gotten in such worse trouble than she did.. she literally faked a kidnapping and used YEARS of these officers time and energy on a LIE. It’s people like her who make it harder for actual victims to be taken seriously. Shame on her!
"People who tell you to have a nice day may be a display of psychopathic traits and indicates the ability to lie and manipulate without feeling remorse."
“I don’t want you to find her.” “Well we’re not going to find her.” Even after knowing the twist in this case that little interaction still hits hard. I cannot imagine being Keith in that moment. I hope he and his kids find happiness away from this woman. And that she is forever a laughing stock for wasting everyone’s time and traumatizing her family. Stacy Smart is still missing after 5 years and there could’ve been more coverage of her if Sherri didn’t go “missing”. This is a key example of why faking crimes and allegations is so dangerous.
I love the way those detectives gave a clever warm welcome like saying your presence here is voluntarily, we appreciate it, you can go at anytime before bursting the case open in her face. 😁 Felt really bad for that young father Keith. I sincerely hope he has moved on with such an emotional abusive relationship and doing well with his kids. He deserves someone better.
Now do you believe? The woman who accused Emitt Till has the same deadly spirit. On her death bed, she apologized and gave herself up... But will it bring him back?
Keith was a true ride or die loyal, loving husband. Sherri destroyed him 😢 He's probably gonna have some major trust issues bc of her. She had everything but it wasn't enough. She wanted people falling at her feet and calling her a hero. I'm so happy her parent in crime told the truth and exposed her lies!
When they were left alone and she was like look at me, fucking look at me. She wears the pants in that house, she sounds abusive and controlling, not to mention a lying freak.
You just got to love the hubris of these people who lie to dummies all day and think they can get away with it in front of trained investigators, endless entertainment..
If she hadn't been blonde and "attractive", don't you think she would have gotten more than 18 month's!?! Pretty privilidge. She should have gotten 18 year's.
