Sherri Papini’s web of lies is exposed in the new Hulu documentary series Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini . In 2016, Sherri claimed she was abducted by two Hispanic women while out jogging near her home in Redding, California. Her disappearance caused a media frenzy and prompted a massive search to find the married mother-of-two.
Twenty-two days later, Sherri resurfaced and alleged she had been beaten and branded by her captors. Eventually, Sherri’s lies caught up with her. She faked her own kidnapping and had been staying at her former boyfriend’s house more than 600 miles away.
While Sherri’s former husband, Keith Papini, speaks out in the documentary series, Sherri is remaining silent. So, where is Sherri today? Scroll down to get updates about Sherri’s life after faking her own kidnapping, how Keith is doing now, and more.
