Hulu Set To Release Docu-Series On Sherri Papini Later This Month

A three part docu-series about Sherri Papini that premieres in a couple of weeks was filmed partially right here in the same building where KQMS is located. In November of 2016 the mother of two vanished while jogging near her Mountain Gate home. More than 3 weeks later she reappeared in Yolo County. Her wrists were bound, her nose was broken, and she was covered in bruises, burns, rashes and chain marks. She claimed she had been abducted at gunpoint by two Hispanic women, but she actually had been staying with an ex-boyfriend in Costa Mesa and had harmed herself to support her story. Four years later Papini still stood by her story, even when an FBI Agent and a sheriff’s detective showed her contradictory evidence. In April of 2022 Papini took a plea deal and admitted to the fraud. Sherri’s husband Keith had stood by her, but when the truth was revealed he filed for divorce and won sole custody of their two children. The series is called “The Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini”. It will air on Hulu starting June 20th. Our upstairs offices here at Stephens Media Group were rented for use as representing the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit.
