Alleged kidnapping faker Sherri Papini to be released on $120K bond, judge rules

Sherri Papini, the blue-eyed “supermom” who prosecutors say faked her own abduction, will be released from a Sacramento jail on a $120,000 bond, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. 

Papini, 39, has been held at the Sacramento County Jail since Thursday after federal investigators arrested her on mail fraud charges and for making false statements to law enforcement. 

She’s accused of concocting a “sophisticated and elaborate” scheme to fake her own kidnapping in 2016 by getting an ex-boyfriend to pick her up near her Redding, California home and hold her in his home for three weeks amid a nationwide manhunt.
