"I think it would be irresponsible to clear your hands of this and say it was a hoax without clearly laying out the details." "The thing is that they had to take this story as true and investigate it even though they were misled," Ryan said. Ken Ryan, a law enforcement expert, who worked 25 in the industry and now teaches criminology at California State University, said he was "amazed by the coincidences" and thinks the story is most likely false, but at this point police don't have enough evidence to completely prove it. "It is just weird."Īnother inconsistency: Papini claims to have cut her foot while fighting off one of her captors, but hospital workers couldn't find any trace of an injury. "It's one of those little pieces that's just a weird anomaly of information that I can't explain," Jackson said. The male sample did not match her husband's DNA. The DNA found on Papini's clothing and skin tested as male and female-a curious detail since Papini said she was only with two women. The Shasta County Sheriff released a three-page update in the case last week, which deepened the mystery further and showed details of the case simply weren't adding up, including Papini's claim that it was two women who took her and held her captive. ![]() The questions intensified after police calls surfaced showing she had several run-ins with authorities, including one call where her mother said Papini was harming herself and trying to blame her for it.

She's afraid of the media, which still stalk her like a celebrity, occasionally snapping photographs of her very rare outings. On occasion, they'll see her husband, Keith, who initially reported her missing, driving down the rural road past the rows of homes in Redding, Calif., a midsized city in northern California.
