DISTURBING

Mother of Two Feared Abducted in Northern California

Family offering $50,000 for her safe return.

The family of a 34-year-old mother of two who vanished while jogging in Northern California last week is offering a $50,000 reward for her return. Keith Papini, the husband of Sherri Papini, says he thinks his wife was abducted while out for a run in Mountain Gate, north of Redding. After learning that his wife had not picked the couple’s kids up from daycare last Wednesday, Papini used an iPhone app to locate her phone, discovering that it had been abandoned on the side of a road. Police have since scoured the area using helicopters and police dogs, but there was no sign of Sherri Papini. The family has now appealed to the public for help in locating her. “Bring her home,” Keith Papini told local media. “Bring her home safe.” Police say the missing mother of two does not suffer from any medical or mental health issues. She was last seen on Sunset Drive wearing a pink running jacket.
