She was branded with some kind of message (not a symbol, according to the Sheriff), but there was no mention of cigarette burns.
There's a lot of speculation that Sherri Papini was nabbed by sex traffickers who let her go when the publicity got to be too much (or when then they secretly accepted the anonymous donor's ransom via the private negotiator).
That could be the case. But, I lean more towards it being personal, not random. I think Sherri Papini is probably the central clue to what happened to her.
Anyway, after Keith Papini released that statement about his wife's condition and condemning 'sub humans on the internet', the Sheriff's office admitted that they'd been blindsided by it.
LE had wanted to withhold key details from the public (like the branding), as they almost always do before they've arrested and charged someone. That makes it easier for LE to weed out bad tips and false confessions, to verify true confessions, and to trick suspects into revealing details not released publicly.
But, Keith Papini took it upon himself to release those details anyway (apparently to quash 'hoax' suspicions expressed by internet posters). I hope he didn't compromise the investigation in any significant way in so doing.
Sheriff Bosenko indicated yesterday that he may hold a press conference today with more information.
