Parking FROM PAGE 1 something out of the movie "Gone Girl." Her husband, Keith Pap- ini, has condemned the ru- mors as "exhausting and disgusting," and police have said they have no rea- son to doubt his wife's har- rowing account. But they have a multitude of ques- tions, among them: Who are these women? Where did they keep her? Was she selected at random or tar- geted? And, most of all, why? No ransom demand was ever received, and neither the Papinis nor their fam- ilies are wealthy, according to Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko. She is a stay- at-home mom, he a Best Buy store employee. Detectives are track- ing hundreds of leads but haven't elicited much in- formation from Papini and have only the sketchiest description from her of her captors, who were said to be Hispanic. Authorities have not divulged the message burned into her skin, and she hasn't been seen pub- licly since she was found. "Sherri did her best that she could in providing the descriptions, but she was not able to provide a de- tailed description due to the suspects covering their faces, and at times Sher- ri's head was covered," the sheriff said. He noted also that victims of traumatic experiences sometimes suf- fer memory loss. Among the leads detec- tives are following up on is a 13-year-old blog post on a white supremacist site signed by someone using Papini's maiden name. The post claimed she and her family had white suprema- cist beliefs and disliked La- tinos. "We do not know that it has any relevance to this case or not," Bosenko said Wednesday. Papini's former hus- band, David Dreyfus, de- fended her, saying it must have been written by some- one else. "People are bullies, and it's easy to poke at people online," Dreyfus told The Sacramento Bee. "With as diverse of a friends group as she and I had, that's not her." Papinisaidshewasseized about mile from her rural home outside Redding, 215 miles north of San Fran- cisco. She was found in Yolo County, about 140 miles from home, telling authori- ties that her captors shoved her out of an SUV near In- terstate 5 with a bag over her head. Her hands were bound to a chain around her waist. Keith Papini said his wife's nose was broken and she was emaciated, weighing 87 pounds, or 13 pounds less than her nor- mal weight. As for her hair, "obviously, a very sick per- son who may have wanted to not only to cut it off to change her physical appear- ance but also as to humili- ate them, wear her down," Bosenko told ABC. She said her kidnap- pers spoke mostly Span- ish. She said one was older, with straight dark hair and thick eyebrows, while the younger one had long curly hair and pierced ears. Another curious part of the story has been the role played by a self-described "international kidnap and ransom consultant" named Cameron Gamble. Gam- ble posted a video offering an undisclosed amount of money as a "ransom" for Papini's safe return. Then, when he got no re- sponse, Gamble posted an- other video offering the money as a reward for in- formation leading to the kidnappers. He said the sum was put up by a con- cerned person who wanted to remain anonymous. Papini turned up free the next morning, with Gam- ble claiming that his re- ward had put pressure on the kidnappers. Police said they don't believe it had anything to with her re- lease. Papini's husband was considered a suspect until he passed a polygraph test, the sheriff said, and friends and family have described her as happily married and a devoted mother of two. Still, police have been up- set by some of the husband's actions, including contact- ing Gamble for help and di- vulging details of her inju- ries to the media. Bosenko said the release of the de- tails could compromise the investigation and the ran- som offer could hinder it by bringing out scam artists. Keith Papini, for his part, lashed out at the "rumors, assumptions, lies and hate" that have circulating, say- ing: "Those people should be ashamed of their mali- cious, subhuman behavior."
