Three more women have disappeared in the area of where a mother of two disappeared in Northern California late last year.
Sherri Papini, 34, disappeared in early November and was later discovered on Thanksgiving Day on the side of a highway 150 miles away from her home. The story made national headlines and led to intense speculation as to what happened to her. Police said that evidence shows she was kidnapped—possibly by two Hispanic women, according to her description—and she showed signs that she was abused and tortured.
Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko had mostly shot down rumors related to suspicions over her story. But for the past several weeks, there has been virtually no new information provided to the press through his office, although Bosenko told a local media outlet that her case is a priority.
Three more women have since disappeared in the same region where Papini went missing. Amy Snow, 25, Jessica Roggenkamp, 44 and Stacey Smart, 52, went missing in the past two months from small Northern Californian towns and cities—less than a three-hour drive from Redding, where Papini was kidnapped.
Authorities have not linked the case to one another, News.com.au reported, adding that the women all have blonde hair and blue eyes. They’ve also been subjected to intense speculation in local newspapers and on social media.
