A California mother, who has been missing for days now, has not been found yet and clues pointing to her whereabouts or what happened to her during that afternoon jog have been scarce. Her husband recently pleaded for the safe return of his wife, noting that she would never leave them and believing she was forcibly taken.
The mother, identified as Sherri Papini, failed to pick up her children from day care and never returned home. Strands of her hair and her earbuds were found in the area where her husband, Keith Papini, recovered her iPhone.
In a recent interview with People, Keith said that he just wants his wife back and he wants her safe. He pleaded to anyone who knows where his wife is to just bring her home. The 34-year-old mother-of-two from Redding was last seen wearing a pink jogging attire. Authorities have not named any suspects in the case.
The Shasta County sheriff said in a statement recently that abduction was possible but they still have no solid evidence to conclude that. They were also determining if Sherri went missing voluntarily or involuntarily. Her family believes that the disappearance was not voluntary because it would be unlike her.
Sherri's husband added that he believes his wife was snuck up on or maybe two or more people carried out the attack. He added, "My gut says it is a person unknown to myself and Sherri. My gut tells me it is just low-life people."
Search teams including their family members and friends have been searching multiple areas since her disappearance. A Help Find Sherri Papini Facebook page and a GoFundMe page were set up in order to raise money and awareness.
The GoFundMe page has received more than $42,000, which will be used in the search efforts to look for Sherri. The Papini family also offered a $40,000 reward for anyone who would lead to Sherri's safe return, Los Angeles Times reported.
Officers also debunked the reports that Keith was behind the disappearance of his wife. A spokesman for the department handling the case said that there was no physical evidence suggesting he was involved in any way.
