OXYGEN TRUE CRIME'S "SHERRI PAPINI: LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES" PREMIERES SATURDAY, DEC. 17 AT 9 P.M. ET/PT
90-Minute Special Features Recently Released Interrogation Footage and Illustrates How a Seemingly Innocent Housewife Was Convicted After Faking Her Own Abduction and Assault
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - Dec. 8, 2022 - Oxygen True Crime, the home of high-quality true-crime programming, NBC News Studios, and the producers of "Dateline," examine the disturbing deceptions of a Northern California housewife, Sherri Papini. Premiering on Saturday, Dec. 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the 90-minute special showcases just-released investigative footage, including previously unseen interviews with Papini, as well as interviews with investigators, journalists and community members who were all at some point taken in by Papini's untruths.
In 2016, Sherri Papini - wife and mother of two small children - went missing while on a jog near her home. Her entire community mobilized to find her as everyone feared the worst. After 22 days, Papini reappeared, battered and bruised, relaying a horrifying tale of being kidnapped with the intention of being sold into sex slavery. In hellish detail, she described what she endured. It was a story so awful you couldn't make it up, except that Papini did. As investigators worked the case, they found the evidence pointed not to two women Papini claimed abducted her, but back to Papini herself. The special takes viewers on an up-close-and-personal journey through her scam before she was publicly revealed to be a master manipulator who held everyone hostage with her lies.
"Sherri Papini: Lies, Lies and More Lies" is produced by NBC News Studios. Alexa Danner, Joe Delmonico, Andy Berg and Elizabeth Fischer executive produce.
