near County Road 17, out- side the town of Yolo, four miles north of Woodland. "She had been left by the side of the freeway," Prieto said. He didn't know the ex- act time she was found but said it was before the sun was up, probably between 5 and 6 a.m. He said his office was notified around 7:30 or 8 a.m. Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said at an af- ternoon press conference, that Papini was found safe around 4:30 a.m. after flag- ging down a driver on In- terstate 5. She was bound with restraints when she was found, according to Bosenko. "We are ecstatic to re- port that Sherri has been located and has been re- united with her family on this day of Thanksgiving," Bosenko said at a press con- ference. "All of us were elated that she was found," Pri- eto added. "This was a hor- rible situation that turned out positive. I don't know what she went through but it was a very special mo- ment for us." Prieto noted that he, like others, feared the worst be- cause so much time had passed. Regarding Pap- ini's discovery, Prieto said the trucker "pulled over and called 911, who called the CHP. The CHP was first on the scene and contacted us and then when we knew who she was we set up a crime scene." A statewide BOLO — be on the lookout — bulletin has been put out for a dark- colored SUV and two Lati- nas, Prieto said. Prieto said other infor- mation was being provided by the Shasta County Sher- iff's Office. A spokesman for the Woodland-area CHP confirmed one its of- ficers was first on the scene Thursday, but reiterated Prieto's comments that all other information was be- ing provided by Shasta County officials. Bosenko said Papini had no further description of the van or the two suspects. He did note, however, that both were armed with at least one handgun and that they are considered danger- ous. Bosenko also reported that after Papini was found and being treated for inju- ries, a phone call was made to her husband who imme- diately left home to meet with her and authorities. Keith Papini reported his wife missing when she didn't arrive to pick up their two young children from day care on Nov. 5. Police and dozens of vol- unteers previously searched an area around Mountain Gate, an unincorporated community near Redding. A private group working with Papini's family had re- leased a new video only a day before, Wednesday, of- fering up $100,000 to any- one with information lead- ing to the safe return of Papini, according to NBC affiliate KNVN. The group vowed that law enforcement would not be involved in the exchange and that there would be no questions asked. "We don't care if you're a convicted felon, if you're a person with a warrant out for your arrest or a drug addict," a man in the video said. "You lead us to Sherri, we give you more money than you can spend." A family spokesman thanked law enforcement officers for their work and residents for support and prayers that were answered, according to the Record- Searchlight. "This is a Thanksgiving beyond belief for all of us," Rod Rodriguez posted on the Facebook group Red- ding Crime 2.0. "Although I have no details yet we are joyous that Sherri is alive and Keith is reunited with her at the hospital." Bosenko said his depart- ment is continuing to fol- low investigative leads and warned people that "until we identify the suspect, the public should remain cau- tious," but that "details of this investigation point to this being an isolated inci- dent." Bosenko also said that because the case is still ac- tive some "sensitive" details are being withheld. He said a "new chapter" has now opened in the investigation. Developments in the case came about two hours af- ter friends, family and sup- porters gathered at Diestel- horst Landing in Redding for a somber balloon re- lease to bring awareness that she was missing and to keep hope alive in find- ing her. The same group offered a $50,000 reward last week and set a deadline of 115 hours, which came and passed, so the group upped its reward. Although detectives ini- tially focused their atten- tion on Keith Papini, he passed a lie-detector test, and officers confirmed his story that he was at work when she went missing, according to the Shasta County Sheriff's Office. Investigators received more than 100 tips in the case. Found FROMPAGE1 Dean Cofer, of the Mo- lino Lodge, said he was very happy the groups could get together and get involve in the project. Steve Engler and the Ves- per Lodge made a chal- lenge out of it, saying they would match whatever funding the Masons came up with. The Molino Ma- sons gave $1,000 to the program. Cofer joked that the Eastern Stars met next and "messed all of them up" be- cause they gave more than expected, $3,000. The Ves- per Lodge met next and gave what they thought they were going to match, which was $1,000, for both the Molino Masons and Eastern Stars, giving a to- tal of $2,000 to the cause. Cofer said he was pleased to see the groups participated in the fund- raiser. Fears has said the pur- chase of a K-9 for the de- partment would cost $10,000 for the dog and $10,000 for the police training. Fears spoke about how appreciative he was of the efforts made by the com- munity and the Corning Patriots members to bring another police K-9 to the department, since the re- tirement of his K-9 Osa. Lequia said everyone has chipped in and the project has been so good for the community. The Corning Patriots started the Corn- ing K-9 fund with a do- nation of $500 and it has grown so much since then. Lequia said he has seen so many people come out from the community and the council to support the Patriots and the fundraiser.

TheAssociatedPress SAN JOSE Four inmates cut their way through the bars of a second-story win- dow and rappelled down the side of a California jail using a makeshift rope of bedding and clothing be- fore making their way clear of the facility, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's of- fice said Thursday. Two of the men were re- captured just outside the jail after the Wednesday night escape, but the other two, Rogelio Chavez and Lanon Campbell, remained on the lam early Thursday, Sgt. Rich Glennon said. Crime scene detectives were working to figure out how the men were able to cut through the window's bars. A deputy patrolling the jail's perimeter spot- ted the men as they made their escape. "He kind of thought he saw some movement in the shadows looked up and saw some bedding in the win- dow," Glennon told The As- sociated Press. Both Chavez and Camp- bell were facing false im- prisonment and weap- ons charges, among other counts, when they made their escape. Several local agencies are searching for the men, with help from dogs and a helicopter us- ing thermal imaging. The men were last seen in their jail clothing, con- sisting of an orange top over gray bottoms. Chavez has a distinctive face tat- too that resembles an inky gash going through his left eye. The recaptured men, whose names are not be- ing released, are expected to face charges for the es- cape. Glennon warned the public off approaching the men if they see them, but is asking people in the area to remain vigilant. "We definitely don't want the community to approach these individu- als, but be aware of any- thing suspicious," he said. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Two jail inmates recaptured a er rappelling from 2nd story window By Morgan Lee The Associated Press SANTA FE, N.M. The telege- nic Hispanic mayor of the nation's oldest state capital has become a public face of "sanctuary cities" follow- ing Donald Trump's presi- dential victory. Javier Gonzales sat down with Fox and CNN anchors last week to denounce Trump's renewed vows to deport millions of immi- grants and his campaign promises to withhold fed- eral funding from sanctu- ary cities that defy immi- gration authorities. Gon- zales happened to be in New York for a conference on mental health care and scored a national media platform. Santa Fe isn't the typical U.S. sanctuary city. Its pop- ulation is about 70,000, and its immigrant communities are dwarfed by those in ma- jor cities with sanctuary- like policies, like Los Ange- les and Chicago. It also has a unique immigration his- tory, dating to the Spanish conquest in the 1500s and 1600s. "Where we're unique is that Mexican and the Central American and the South American immi- gration have been part of Santa Fe's story for those 400 years," said Gonzales, whose father also was a Santa Fe mayor. That story remains the source of public pride and pageantry in Santa Fe dur- ing an annual costumed re- enactment of the Spanish re-conquest of the city af- ter a Native American re- volt in 1680. The proces- sion depicts a peaceful, al- most welcome return of the Spanish — despite in- creasingly disruptive pro- tests and recriminations in recent years based on the early suffering of Na- tive Americans. Gonzales as a young man played the lead role of con- quistador Don Diego de Varga. As mayor, Gonzales has had to referee public objections by Native Amer- icans and others who con- tend the re-conquest was brutal and the modern fes- tival is offensive and hurt- ful. Santa Fe's embrace of sanctuary-city status dates to the 1999 adoption of an ordinance that says "no mu- nicipal resources will be used to identify or appre- hend any non-citizen resi- dent solely on the basis of immigration status, unless otherwise lawfully required to do so." That means local police do not enforce noncrimi- nal warrants from U.S. Im- migration and Customs En- forcement or so-called de- tainer requests to delay the release of immigrants ar- rested on minor offenses, city spokesman Matt Ross said. The municipal police de- partment has a written pol- icy of not making arrests based solely on immigra- tion status, but officers are allowed to share informa- tion on other arrests with federal immigration agen- cies. No other New Mex- ico city has similar sanc- tuary provisions, and most county sheriff's offices coop- erate closely with immigra- tion enforcement. That type of assistance from small cities and rural counties is important to federal immigration offi- cials, said Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigra- tion Studies, which calls for lower U.S. immigration lev- els. Federal authorities of- ten have fewer resources in those areas and rely on county jails and sheriff's departments to detain or delay the release of immi- grants flagged for viola- tions, Vaughan said. She estimates about 300 juris- dictions nationwide have sanctuary-style policies.
