Summary

We kick off this episode with a terrifying update on Luka Magnotta, and then read some letters from listeners who've met people with even worse names than X Æ A-12 Musk. Then we finally get into this week's episode: the kidnapping of Sherri Papini. In 2016, the California "super-mom" was abducted while out jogging (pro tip: this is why we never jog), only to be abruptly released a few weeks later. But some of the details of her disappearance don't quite add up. Danny, Sara, & Casey discuss the abduction, the sketchy aspects, and a few possible theories of what really happened. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/sherri-papini-case-3-years-150153693.html https://people.com/crime/sherri-papini-investigation-still-open-more-than-3-years-after-calif-moms-alleged-abduction/ https://www.redding.com/story/news/local/2018/11/22/sherri-papini-kidnapping-update-2018-case-unsolved/2060192002/ https://www.sacbee.com/article118614788.html https://abcnews.go.com/US/mother-super-mom-sherri-papini-told-police-daughter/story?id=46477176 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3980270/Sheriff-s-office-investigating-bizarre-blog-spewing-hatred-against-Latinos-purportedly-written-kidnapped-mom-two-Sherri-Papini-ex-husband-says-malicious-prank-isn-t-racist.html https://people.com/crime/sherri-papini-missing-racist-letter-online/ https://www.ajc.com/news/national/woman-bizarre-thanksgiving-abduction-story-doubt-after-new-video-surfaces/xEPl7hvXnqVFUlsZUuLDzM/ https://heavy.com/news/2016/11/sherri-papini-kidnapped-abducted-hoax-mexicans-truth-lie-fake-publicity-redding-california-facebook-photos-police-reward-gofundme/ Learn more about your ad choices.
