I actually think the husband was skeptical from the beginning (hence the awkward 911 call) but not part of it. Living with and being in love with a narcissist had him confused and maybe even brainwashed to an extent. He knew deep down there was a possibility that she could have run off with someone else. I think the insincerity that people are seeing in the husband is that doubt in the back of his own mind that is telling him she is capable of hurting him and his children, but he doesn’t necessarily want to paint her in that light to the public. I also have a feeling that when he made that initial call, he had no idea how big this was going to get or how far she was going to let this go until it was too late.

Because many people who pull this crap will often use a minority usually black but sometimes Latino as the perpetrator. Same incident happened when a woman killed her kids.

I’m livid that she blamed the Hispanics for this ! 😢 😡

[@angnonymousj7721]

I need a full psychological breakdown on Ms. Sherri . The fact that she would go to such great lengths to fake a kidnapping shows she’s not in her right mind. Broken nose, branding? Crazy. How did she get people to go along with this. She’s definitely not right in the head.

[@TheKleptix]

This. I can't believe I was leaning towards believing her cause of the scope of her injuries and the fact she faked them is legit insane.

[@christinabrogdon4800]

But people with personality disorders are not insane. They know exactly what they’re doing and use people around them as their pawns. They will do anything it takes to get their way and the attention they want.

[@eveofwonder]

Agreed! Sometimes I’ll email my professors and tell them I can’t take a test because I’m “sick,” but kidnapped?! That’s a whole other level of evil.

Just like some of the other viewers mentioned, this hurts legitimate victims. Imagine how many other real families that money could have helped.

She really told the sketch artist “gold hoops and chola eyebrows” like it was an SNL skit

[@hollib3900]

And her blond hair and blue eyes contributed greatly to the "urgency" behind her being found. I say that because I can point to tens of cases where missing women do not hold those attributes and the police have every reason as to why it's their own fault they are gone. Sad. And of course, she'll cry and get away with it.

[@zappababe8577]

I very much doubt she's going to get away with it. Police don't like to be deceived. More likely they'll throw the book at her.

[@heathernikki5734]

I was with you til you said tears would get her out of it

[@MilkyBootss]

With the way the justice system is I wouldn't be surprised if she sheds crocodiles tears and gets less than a slap on the wrist. I mean look at the Skylar Richardson case of course a rich almost perfect white blonde girl is not going to be charged with murder when she knew damn well what she was doing and what she did. But guess what? She got a slap on the wrist. Honestly this can go both ways but the fact her getting away scotch free without any punishments is a high possibility says a lot about the American justice system.

[@CocoAvalon]

Another woman named Stacey Smart went missing from the same area around the same time, but barely got any news coverage. She also had blonde hair and blue eyes. Just sayin...

[@Youtube-Is-Trash]

People who think hair and eye color contribute to why some people get more coverage than others are just as unhinged as Sherri. Which seems to be an unsettling amount considering how many people liked Holli B's idiotic comment.

Well, sure, there is something like that...the thing is, there's no money in it. As a matter of fact it _costs_ a lot of money. Faking your own abduction, on the other hand, apparently pays quite well.
