Last week, Papini, 40, owned up to her lies pleading guilty to one count of making false statements and one count of mail fraud. She was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, double the amount of time requested by federal prosecutors.

After her return investigators collected Papini's clothing so that it could be tested for any biological material.

Police also began to question Papini's friends and an ex-husband who spoke about her tendency to lie and run away. Investigators made little progress in the case until 2020, when, with the help of genetic genealogy, that DNA was finally matched to James Reyes, an ex-boyfriend of Sherri Papini. "She was trying to get away from her husband," Reyes told investigators, unaware that Sherri's allegations against Keith were unfounded.Reyes added that he didn't know anything about the two Hispanic women who Sherri Papini said held her at gunpoint.

Reyes said things changed on Thanksgiving, when Sherri Papini told Reyes that she missed her kids, and wanted to go home.
