Sherri Papini was arrested and charged Thursday after allegedly faking her own kidnapping.
Sherri Papini was charged after faking her kidnapping, lying to law enforcement officers, and being involved in mail fraud by defrauding the state's victim compensation board after she claimed she was kidnapped by two Hispanic women for 22 days in November 2016. She was found on Thanksgiving with various bindings and injuries, including a"brand" on her right shoulder, officials said.
“When a young mother went missing in broad daylight, a community was filled with fear and concern,” U.S. Attorney Phillip Talbert said, according to the DOJ. “Ultimately, the investigation revealed that there was no kidnapping and that time and resources that could have been used to investigate actual crime, protect the community, and provide resources to victims were wasted."
The mother of two has a history as"an attention-hungry person who told stories to try to get people's attention," one man who dated Papini in the early 2000s told officials.
