The detectives who worked on the case of Sherri Papini, the woman who pleaded guilty Monday to faking her own kidnapping and lying to the FBI about it, said it was her over-the-top theatrics that tipped them off to her lies.
, said it was her over-the-top theatrics that tipped them off to her lies.
A tuft of Papini's hair was found with her phone near the spot where she said she had been abducted. She told detectives she purposefully pulled it out when her captors took her at gunpoint so her husband would be able to know where she was taken from."Yet when you look at just the hair alone, hindsight, it was theatrical and not really what fit what she said in her story," Wallace said.
The former boyfriend told investigators what he knew. He told them Papini asked him to hit her — he would not, but he agreed to hold a hockey stick for her to run into and to pelt her with hockey pucks. He also branded her when she asked him to. "A lot of the lies that she told us had a lot of truth to it. So it’s really hard to decipher," Wallace said.
Papini, meanwhile, was charged with mail fraud and lying to a law enforcement officer — the charges stem not from her faked abduction but from the deception, she continued after she returned.
