Sherri Papini, a California woman who faked her own kidnapping in 2016, attended the same high school as 16-year-old Tera Smith, who disappeared in 1998.
A California woman's plan to fake her own kidnapping in 2016 has brought some renewed attention to the unsolved disappearance of 16-year-old Tera Smith, who vanished from a run nearly 26 years ago.
It really felt like a slap in the face in hindsight for her to come over and put on a big act for us when we really did lose our daughter,' Marilyn said. Despite the odd connection between the two cases — if one can call it a connection — the Smith family is grateful for the renewed attention two documentaries about the Papini case have brought to their daughter's unsolved disappearance. 'We do have hopes that there will be an arrest.
Zink, who could not be reached for comment, also claimed that at the time of Tera's disappearance, he was in a remote location in the mountains praying. Smith's family recently discovered that witnesses, however, saw Tera and Zink riding in the same truck the evening of Aug. 22. One witness even said he made eye contact with Tera through the passenger seat window as they drove past, and she mouthed, 'Help me,' according to Marilyn.
