Keith Papini Reveals Troubling Lies by Wife Sherri Before Kidnapping Hoax: ‘Something Wasn’t Adding Up’
Keith Papini, the husband of Sherri Papini, has opened up about the troubling lies his wife told long before her infamous kidnapping hoax. Sherri Papini, who was once regarded as a devoted mother and wife, shocked the nation when she disappeared in 2016, only to be found 22 days later with a harrowing tale of abduction and torture.
Keith’s initial reaction to Sherri’s disappearance was one of panic. In a newly-released 911 call, he can be heard telling the operator that he found Sherri’s phone with strands of her hair attached, leading him to fear the worst. Despite his immediate concerns, Keith now reveals that there were signs something was amiss long before the alleged kidnapping.
In an exclusive interview, Keith shared that Sherri had been deceitful about various aspects of her life. He recounted how he had made her sign a postnuptial agreement after discovering she had been in contact with another man. This revelation, coupled with reports of loud arguments and a past incident where Sherri received a black eye during a video game-related accident, painted a picture of a troubled marriage.
Despite these red flags, Keith stood by Sherri during the initial investigation and the subsequent media frenzy. Sherri claimed she had been abducted by two Hispanic women who tortured her, but her story began to unravel over time. The investigation took a decisive turn in 2020 when a DNA match led authorities to James Reyes, Sherri’s ex-boyfriend, who admitted to being her accomplice in the hoax.
Keith’s faith in Sherri was further shattered when he learned from their children that Sherri had been making them sniff rubbing alcohol, a behavior reminiscent of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. This revelation, coupled with the mounting evidence against Sherri, led Keith to cut ties with her.
While the exact motives behind Sherri’s actions remain unclear, Keith believes she was driven by a desperate need for attention and validation. The case of Sherri Papini continues to baffle those who knew her, leaving many to wonder why she risked everything for such an elaborate and damaging lie.
