The Sherri Papini case continues to fascinate and confound. In 2016, Papini disappeared, only to reappear weeks later with a bizarre story of abduction. Now, in a new Investigation Discovery documentary, “Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie,” Papini herself speaks out, offering her version of events.
In the premiere episode, “Chapter 1: Exodus,” airing this Monday, Papini recounts her experience, giving the audience a glimpse of her thought processes. The documentary promises to be more than just a rehash of the headlines. The episode airs on both Monday, May 26 and Tuesday, May 27 at 9:00 PM ET.
“Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie” represents a unique opportunity to hear directly from the woman at the center of the storm. This special looks at the official investigation and examines the evidence that ultimately led to Papini’s conviction for making false statements to a federal law enforcement officer and mail fraud. Whether she seeks redemption or merely aims to clarify her story, one thing is sure: this documentary is bound to generate discussion.
