- 0:30Speaker 1: was kidnapped, despite serving jail time for her elaborate hopes
- 0:37Speaker 1: so she could go snug up with the next boyfriend.
- 0:40Speaker 2: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I want to thank you for being with us.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Thought anyone want to work to see what you reporting.
- 0:52Speaker 4: I saw a person on the side of the road
- 0:55Speaker 4: waving a shirt and I'm getting there in trouble, and.
- 0:58Speaker 5: I'm wanting you or I stop rating all the great
- 1:02Speaker 5: way by a line email.
- 1:08Speaker 6: There's a lady on the Feather Road and meeting Hall.
- 1:12Speaker 1: That lady is a liar, and that liar is the
- 1:16Speaker 1: original Gone Girl, Sherry Peppini. It all starts right here
- 1:22Speaker 1: with a nine one one call.
- 1:24Speaker 4: Listen sure, Yeah, So I just got home from work
- 1:28Speaker 4: and uh, my wife wasn't there, which is unusual, and
- 1:32Speaker 4: my kids should have been there by now from like daycare.
- 1:34Speaker 4: So I was like oh, maybe she went on a walk.
- 1:36Speaker 4: I couldn't find her, so I called the daycare to
- 1:38Speaker 4: see what time she picked up the kids. The kids
- 1:40Speaker 4: were never picked up.
- 1:41Speaker 7: So I got freaked out.
- 1:42Speaker 4: So I hit like to find my phone app thing
- 1:45Speaker 4: and it said that her. It showed her phone like
- 1:47Speaker 4: at our end of our driveway.
- 1:48Speaker 7: We don't have really good service.
- 1:50Speaker 4: Okay, not the end of our driveway, at the end
- 1:52Speaker 4: of our street, but just drove down there and I
- 1:53Speaker 4: saw her phone with their headphones because she started running again.
- 1:56Speaker 4: And it's her down on her phone and it's got
- 1:58Speaker 4: like hair ripped out of it, like in the headphones.
- 2:01Speaker 4: So I'm like totally freaking out, thinking like somebody like,
- 2:04Speaker 4: what's her grabber?
- 2:05Speaker 1: I will never forget when Chery Peppini, so called super Mom,
- 2:11Speaker 1: a very loving mom, seemingly vanishes into thin air, someone
- 2:18Speaker 1: apparently snatching her off the street near her home as
- 2:23Speaker 1: she goes jogging. Her husband distraught, it was a nightmare.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Joining me an all star panel to make sense of
- 2:31Speaker 1: what we know now as Cherri Peppini, the original Gone Girl,
- 2:36Speaker 1: takes a bizarre U turn. Now this is after she
- 2:41Speaker 1: does jail time for pulling off the hoax of the
- 2:44Speaker 1: century that she had really been kidnapped, when actually she
- 2:46Speaker 1: was snugged up with her boyfriend the whole time. Now
- 2:49Speaker 1: she says, Okay, erase, erase, Jurassic Erase. I really was kidnapped,
- 2:55Speaker 1: and I pled to lying because I was pressed too.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear this joining me.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Sheriff Michael Johnson, superstar in the law enforcement community, Sheriff
- 3:09Speaker 1: Shasta County. That department originally investigated the original Sharry Peppinie case. Okay,
- 3:16Speaker 1: Sheriff Johnson, your department faced with a missing mom snatched
- 3:20Speaker 1: in broad daylight at the beginning, what did law enforcement think?
- 3:26Speaker 8: Yeah, well, at first, everybody took it very seriously. We thought, yeah,
- 3:31Speaker 8: we had a missing girl. And just for clarification, Nancy,
- 3:34Speaker 8: I inherited this mess. I came into it, and I
- 3:37Speaker 8: call it my favorite waste of time, because that's all
- 3:40Speaker 8: Sherry did with anybody, was waste everybody's time. We get
- 3:44Speaker 8: the report of and you heard the nine one one
- 3:46Speaker 8: of a woman missing and suspicious circumstances. But right from
- 3:50Speaker 8: the beginning, the headphones and the phone that you hear
- 3:55Speaker 8: about this laying on the ground with hair tangled, and
- 3:58Speaker 8: it was kind of coiled neatly and so side. It
- 4:00Speaker 8: didn't look at all like an abduction as is reported.
- 4:05Speaker 8: But nevertheless, everybody took it very seriously and allocated a
- 4:09Speaker 8: whole lot of time, a whole lot of effort. Allied agencies,
- 4:13Speaker 8: every public safety, search and rescue, everybody got involved in
- 4:17Speaker 8: the beginning to find this missing woman.
- 4:19Speaker 1: You know, Sheriff Johnson, at the very beginning, I said
- 4:22Speaker 1: the same thing about her phone. I've handled a lot
- 4:25Speaker 1: of investigations, prosecutions, and then covered cases as well. Just
- 4:29Speaker 1: for instance, Maggie Murdog, you know Alex Murdog, the South
- 4:34Speaker 1: Carolina lawyer that murdered his wife and son. Her phone
- 4:38Speaker 1: was thrown out of a car window and found on the.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Side of the road in the weeds.
- 4:43Speaker 1: And it struck me the dichotomy of Shery Papinie's hair
- 4:47Speaker 1: being found in the wires of the earpiece like it
- 4:51Speaker 1: had been snatched out, but yet it was all coiled
- 4:53Speaker 1: up and set away, so it wouldn't be run over.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Now, if that jild had really been snatched away.
- 4:59Speaker 1: From her, it would have been thrown somewhere and probably
- 5:01Speaker 1: run over in the middle of the road.
- 5:02Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, or ditched or he would have broken, thrown
- 5:06Speaker 8: in the water or something to get rid of it.
- 5:08Speaker 8: He wouldn't just leave it there, and it definitely wouldn't
- 5:11Speaker 8: have been in the condition it was. Obviously we know
- 5:13Speaker 8: that now. But yeah, from the beginning, things were not
- 5:17Speaker 8: adding up. And that is a person Johnson.
- 5:21Speaker 1: I don't want to disbelieve what a victim says, because
- 5:25Speaker 1: victims in our country are so often maligned that I
- 5:28Speaker 1: thought there must be some innocent explanation as to how
- 5:31Speaker 1: that phone was found neatly tucked away. But that said,
- 5:35Speaker 1: this is what the then sheriff had to say, Tomasinka.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Listen.
- 5:38Speaker 9: Last night, at about ten minutes to six pm, Keith
- 5:44Speaker 9: Peppeni reported his wife, Sherry, as a missing person with
- 5:49Speaker 9: suspicious circumstances. When he returned home, he found that his
- 5:54Speaker 9: wife was not home and the children had not been
- 5:57Speaker 9: picked up from their daycare.
- 6:00Speaker 1: The reading record searchlight and the search was on to
- 6:05Speaker 1: Kelly som joining US anchor Action News Now, the CBS
- 6:09Speaker 1: and NBC affiliate in reading, Kelly, thank you for being
- 6:13Speaker 1: with us. Tell me about the massive search. Now you
- 6:18Speaker 1: heard Sheriff Johnson describing it as his favorite waste of
- 6:21Speaker 1: time but let me throw a technical legal term at you.
- 6:25Speaker 1: There was a crap ton of man hours, money, resources,
- 6:33Speaker 1: and emotion poured in to the search for Sherry Peppini.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Describe.
- 6:40Speaker 10: So we get a lot of missing person reports in
- 6:42Speaker 10: the newsroom, but people have a right to disappear if
- 6:46Speaker 10: they want, and this one quickly took on a life
- 6:49Speaker 10: of its own. We were getting inundated with friends and
- 6:52Speaker 10: family members setting us all these pictures you're showing on
- 6:55Speaker 10: the screen, and it really painted a compelling tale. Within
- 6:58Speaker 10: the first day, it wasn't just law enforcement. There was
- 7:01Speaker 10: this uprising of community concern, Strangers volunteering their time to
- 7:07Speaker 10: go search for Sherry Peppini, a woman they never met,
- 7:11Speaker 10: because it seemed so unusual, according to the story being
- 7:15Speaker 10: shared by her loved ones, for her to disappear like
- 7:17Speaker 10: this without a trace. So it really did take on
- 7:20Speaker 10: a life of its own. It was within hours, all
- 7:23Speaker 10: over social media, people sharing and sharing, and that's why
- 7:26Speaker 10: it became a national story so quickly.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Yeah, very very curious, Kelly. She was ultimately sound, she
- 7:37Speaker 1: was found, how did she re emerge after she was kidnapped?
- 7:41Speaker 1: And what was her story?
- 7:42Speaker 10: So it was twenty two days later Thanksgiving morning, I
- 7:47Speaker 10: do the early morning news. So as we were wrapping
- 7:49Speaker 10: up our show, we were getting the word that in
- 7:52Speaker 10: the pre dawn hours, she had been found along Interstate five,
- 7:56Speaker 10: about one hundred and fifty miles south of Reading. She
- 8:00Speaker 10: was almost darting into traffic, waving frantically to get driver's attention.
- 8:05Speaker 10: She had a chain around her waist, she had zip
- 8:08Speaker 10: tized around her wrist. She looked like she's been battered
- 8:12Speaker 10: and bruised. She had rashes on her arm and legs,
- 8:16Speaker 10: and she had been branded. She actually there's some photos
- 8:20Speaker 10: where they show her lifting up her shirt and you
- 8:23Speaker 10: can see the brand. These are the first photos of
- 8:26Speaker 10: her being branded at that time, we thought by her captor.
- 8:31Speaker 10: And so it was this dramatic story unfolding, and it
- 8:34Speaker 10: was unfolding on Thanksgiving morning when the entire community had
- 8:39Speaker 10: gathered to release balloons, yellow balloons in honor of Sherry
- 8:43Speaker 10: Peppini as a signal to the heavens, we're looking for
- 8:46Speaker 10: your Sherry.
- 8:47Speaker 2: And then it seemed like Pat, how I just got
- 8:51Speaker 2: to stop you, Kelly. Let me let this just marinate
- 8:54Speaker 2: for a moment.
- 8:57Speaker 1: The community had gathered to release balloonans to Heaven in
- 9:01Speaker 1: a request like a direct balloon Ograham.
- 9:04Speaker 2: To God plays up was fine, Sherry.
- 9:06Speaker 10: This is correct.
- 9:07Speaker 2: It happened.
- 9:08Speaker 10: There was a turkey trot that morning, and in conjunction
- 9:12Speaker 10: with that, people were going to use the opportunity to
- 9:15Speaker 10: release balloons. Now, the first sign that she had been
- 9:19Speaker 10: found with the family did not show up for the
- 9:21Speaker 10: balloon release that they had organized. The closest family members, Keith,
- 9:25Speaker 10: did not show up, and so behind the scenes there
- 9:28Speaker 10: were a lot of phone calls happening again early morning
- 9:32Speaker 10: hours four three am that she had been found, and
- 9:35Speaker 10: then we would get the news confirmed later that day.
- 9:37Speaker 1: I mean, haul John Kelly, I got to go to
- 9:39Speaker 1: Shriff Michael Johnson a balloon release, really really.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Begging, pleading with God.
- 9:47Speaker 1: And the whole time she's snugged up at our ex
- 9:50Speaker 1: boyfriend's place.
- 9:52Speaker 2: The balloon release, I did not know that.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I mean, the point is, I'm not mocking a balloon release.
- 9:59Speaker 1: I've done balloon releases. I've gathered and had prayer circles
- 10:04Speaker 1: and prayed for someone to be found. We recently did
- 10:08Speaker 1: one for Susanne. More few that somehow there would be justice.
- 10:12Speaker 2: In that case, that the truth would come out whatever
- 10:15Speaker 2: that may be.
- 10:17Speaker 1: And I believe in prayer, but that she would manipulate
- 10:24Speaker 1: the community, law enforcement and her family, her children, Oh
- 10:29Speaker 1: my stars thinking Mommy's gone and may never come home.
- 10:34Speaker 1: A balloon release my rear end. I mean, when you
- 10:38Speaker 1: look back and you think about what all everyone went through,
- 10:43Speaker 1: the blood, the sweat, the tears to find this woman
- 10:46Speaker 1: who then tried to blame some She says, three unknown Hispanics.
- 10:51Speaker 1: What if there had been an arrest of people that
- 10:53Speaker 1: matched her pretty accurate description.
- 10:56Speaker 2: She gave a detailed description.
- 10:58Speaker 1: What if someone had actually been and arrested for Pete's sake?
- 11:02Speaker 8: Well, as a matter of fact, the officers from various
- 11:06Speaker 8: agencies were pulling over vehicles and anybody that remotely matched
- 11:12Speaker 8: the descriptions and the suspects that she alleged had kidnapped her.
- 11:17Speaker 8: Because we're looking for clues and we're looking for suspects,
- 11:20Speaker 8: and we're trying to do our job, and it's all
- 11:22Speaker 8: this hoax and painted picture by a self serving and
- 11:27Speaker 8: narcissistic personality that just doesn't care, only cares about herself.
- 11:31Speaker 1: So in the bottom line, Sheriff Johnson, what was her story?
- 11:35Speaker 1: Who does she claim kidnapped her, starved her, beat her,
- 11:41Speaker 1: broke her nose, and branded her with a hot branding iron.
- 11:45Speaker 8: Who did she blame, Well, she's blaming her boyfriend now,
- 11:48Speaker 8: But who did she blame before a company?
- 11:50Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I don't mean this iteration, Sheriff. I mean
- 11:54Speaker 1: the old kidnappers. Oh, there they are.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Who did she blame the get go, Sheriff Johnson?
- 12:00Speaker 8: Who she blamed those Hispanic women that kidnapped her? And
- 12:03Speaker 8: she'd been held captive by a third person, and she
- 12:08Speaker 8: was making it up as she went, and it, just
- 12:11Speaker 8: as you heard, it became a community interest story in
- 12:16Speaker 8: a nationwide interest story because of the circumstances involved, and
- 12:21Speaker 8: it just became this perfect storm of lies. And once
- 12:24Speaker 8: we got her back, once she was found, which was
- 12:28Speaker 8: her getting dropped off on the side of the road
- 12:30Speaker 8: and continuing her hopes. Once we started that investigation, we
- 12:35Speaker 8: had her and interviewed her, we knew that she had
- 12:39Speaker 8: fabricated this.
- 12:40Speaker 3: We had.
- 12:41Speaker 8: The problem was you have to build the case and
- 12:44Speaker 8: make absolutely sure that you have all the evidence before
- 12:48Speaker 8: you come out and tell the public that she's in
- 12:50Speaker 8: fact a liar. And in that meantime, she's out there
- 12:55Speaker 8: meeting with other families. We have an unsolved case of
- 12:58Speaker 8: a young girl who went missing and ready years ago.
- 13:01Speaker 8: She went and met with that family and tried to
- 13:04Speaker 8: sympathize with them and tell them how much they had
- 13:06Speaker 8: in common and how she had been abducted as well
- 13:10Speaker 8: as just her her narcissism just is sickening.
- 13:16Speaker 1: She went to another kidnapped girls family and tried to
- 13:20Speaker 1: empathize with them.
- 13:22Speaker 8: Yes, unsolved.
- 13:24Speaker 2: She did not.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Get enough jail time for this. I'm just putting that
- 13:27Speaker 1: out there.
- 13:27Speaker 9: We need to.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Rethink that now. Joining me is a special guest Doctor
- 13:32Speaker 1: Stephen M. Diggs, Cherry Pepenis Therapist. He is a licensed
- 13:38Speaker 1: psychologist and owner director of the NYSA Therapy. He's the
- 13:43Speaker 1: author of Secondhand Girl from Foster careacter Borderline Personality to Peace.
- 13:49Speaker 1: His website nysatherapy dot com.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Doctor Diggs, thank you for being with us.
- 13:58Speaker 11: You're welcome.
- 13:59Speaker 1: You believe that your client, Sherry Pepini, was in fact kidnapped.
- 14:06Speaker 2: I do bye who by James the boyfriend? The boyfriend?
- 14:10Speaker 2: Why well?
- 14:12Speaker 11: Because even though Sheriff Johnson says she's narcissistic, I'm a
- 14:18Speaker 11: specialist in personality disorder and she is not narcissistic. She
- 14:23Speaker 11: has another condition which I've gone into at least in
- 14:25Speaker 11: other places. But the real question is what condition would
- 14:30Speaker 11: that be? She has self defeating personality disorder. Self defeating
- 14:35Speaker 11: personality disorder. Now the real question isn't.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Could it possibly be the I want attention from men,
- 14:43Speaker 1: various men, no matter what I have to do to
- 14:45Speaker 1: get it, and I have my life.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Fed to me on a silver spoon. Blah blah blah blah.
- 14:51Speaker 1: I mean, didn't her family have issues with her violent
- 14:55Speaker 1: outbursts before any of this happened.
- 14:57Speaker 11: The question shouldn't be Nancy, why do I believe Sherry?
- 15:02Speaker 11: The question should be why do I not believe James?
- 15:06Speaker 11: It is even simplussed to kind all of you to
- 15:10Speaker 11: believe James when there hasn't been enough scrutiny placed upon him.
- 15:14Speaker 11: And I can apply that scrutiny now, if you'd like
- 15:16Speaker 11: to help me do it.
- 15:17Speaker 1: The original Gone Girl Sherry Peppini, After doing hard jail
- 15:21Speaker 1: time for a huge kidnap hoax, she now claims that
- 15:26Speaker 1: she is quote setting the record straight. Sherry Peppini is
- 15:30Speaker 1: setting the record straight on what really happened to her
- 15:33Speaker 1: and why she says the lie she told about being
- 15:36Speaker 1: kidnapped by two Hispanic women was really supposed to be
- 15:39Speaker 1: a tip for law enforcement as to the identity of
- 15:42Speaker 1: her real kidnapper, even though she admitted a law enforcement
- 15:46Speaker 1: her disappearance was a hoax she orchestrated. Peppini says, she
- 15:50Speaker 1: really was kidnapped, and she's the victim of two men,
- 15:53Speaker 1: the ex boyfriend who really abducted her and the ex
- 15:56Speaker 1: husband who emotionally abused her and made her miserable.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Let's try to make sense of what we know now.
- 16:03Speaker 1: This is what I know, what she told police after
- 16:09Speaker 1: she was discovered in a chain and zip ties.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Let's go straight to her police interrogation.
- 16:18Speaker 12: Listen, if you want Keith to.
- 16:19Speaker 13: Leave, I'll ask Keith nicely to leave.
- 16:22Speaker 12: If you don't want Keith to leave, then he can
- 16:24Speaker 12: sit oud of the stress and we'll move on to
- 16:28Speaker 12: the next stages. But I want to give you that
- 16:32Speaker 12: opportunity first.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Can you see those little wheels turning right there? They're
- 16:42Speaker 1: asking h because they're onto her line that three Hispanic
- 16:47Speaker 1: people did not kid two Hispanic women did not kidnap her.
- 16:51Speaker 1: There are two many inconsistencies. This is very, very wrong,
- 16:55Speaker 1: and unbeknownst to her at this time, they have already
- 16:59Speaker 1: interviewed and pollyed the boyfriend, who has never been charged
- 17:03Speaker 1: and is still not charged, and who cooperated. They've talked
- 17:07Speaker 1: to his brother, his mother, they have thoroughly examined the
- 17:12Speaker 1: scene and they know that she's lying. Okay, now they ask, hey,
- 17:19Speaker 1: do you want us to make your husband leave? Joining
- 17:22Speaker 1: me right now is a very special guest, a renowned
- 17:26Speaker 1: body language expert, author of How to Detect Li's Fraud
- 17:30Speaker 1: and Identity Theft at body languagetrader dot Com is Tracy Brown. Tracy,
- 17:36Speaker 1: I want you, doctor Diggs, doctor John Delatorre, another shrink
- 17:42Speaker 1: joining us in Darryl Cohen to watch her during her
- 17:46Speaker 1: police interview. Now, did you see the way she looked
- 17:50Speaker 1: at the investigator when he said you want your husband
- 17:52Speaker 1: to leave? That she looks at him and she's all
- 17:54Speaker 1: curled up.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Now, I'm going to save you.
- 17:56Speaker 1: What happens for the next five to eight minutes where
- 17:59Speaker 1: she won't answer does she want them to leave? Should
- 18:02Speaker 1: I stay or should I go? Nobody can decide. Okay,
- 18:07Speaker 1: she doesn't say no, I want him here. This goes
- 18:09Speaker 1: on and on and on, but I want to hear
- 18:11Speaker 1: from you, Tracy, what you think about her body language.
- 18:14Speaker 14: Whenever someone shrinks, they are not confident in what they're saying.
- 18:20Speaker 14: And so we see we see her lean over, she's
- 18:23Speaker 14: got her hand here on her chin. She's trying to
- 18:27Speaker 14: explain things that maybe didn't really happen. And so she
- 18:33Speaker 14: goes from being pretty still to all of a sudden
- 18:35Speaker 14: really animated and bringing this in.
- 18:40Speaker 10: But then again we see her shrink, and so.
- 18:43Speaker 14: Those dichotomies tell us, wait a minute, there's there's inconsistency
- 18:50Speaker 14: in her and in her thoughts, and it shows with
- 18:54Speaker 14: her body language.
- 18:55Speaker 1: The cops leave, and then she and her husband whisper
- 19:00Speaker 1: furiously and.
- 19:01Speaker 2: This goes on.
- 19:02Speaker 1: But I could hear what they're saying, and she's saying,
- 19:05Speaker 1: I don't want them to find her. I don't want
- 19:07Speaker 1: them to find her. Who is her one of the
- 19:11Speaker 1: Hispanic women that kidnapped her, beat her and branded her
- 19:15Speaker 1: and broke her nose and starved her. Okay, now we're
- 19:19Speaker 1: going to hear, after furious whispering with her husband, how
- 19:22Speaker 1: shery Peppini doesn't want her kidnappers to be caught after
- 19:28Speaker 1: they beat her, branded her, broke her nose and starved her.
- 19:34Speaker 1: She doesn't want them caught because they don't exist.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Listen, I don't.
- 19:40Speaker 10: Want them to find her.
- 19:41Speaker 2: If you're how listening to me, because she seemed to.
- 19:45Speaker 7: Be life, what do you want.
- 19:49Speaker 4: I don't want her to get in trouble.
- 19:52Speaker 3: She's not going to get in trouble.
- 19:53Speaker 13: So the DNA came back to James Race, Indiana. It
- 20:00Speaker 13: was on you Belong jams.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Race, Okay.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Daryl Cohen with me, veteran trial lawyer, former felony prosecutor
- 20:09Speaker 1: in the same office where I prosecuted Inner City Atlanta, Fulton, DA,
- 20:13Speaker 1: now private attorney at Cohen Cooper EASTEP and Allen.
- 20:20Speaker 2: How do you think that husband's feeling about right now?
- 20:23Speaker 15: Well now, and.
- 20:24Speaker 1: They say, hey, the DNA like all over you is
- 20:27Speaker 1: your ex boyfriend not an Hispanic female and he's like truth, Bob.
- 20:33Speaker 15: Well, so you can start with the fact this is
- 20:35Speaker 15: not Sherrie. Sherry maybe from the Four Seasons. This is
- 20:38Speaker 15: Sherry who may or may not be narcissistic, but she
- 20:41Speaker 15: is clearly liassisting. When you have all of that DNA
- 20:46Speaker 15: from an ex boyfriend, it didn't just get there, It
- 20:49Speaker 15: didn't fly in from the sky, and it didn't just arrive.
- 20:54Speaker 15: She cannot tell the truth, and because she can't, she lies.
- 20:59Speaker 15: And what happens when you lie You have to remember
- 21:02Speaker 15: what you said, and you have to be consistent. She
- 21:05Speaker 15: was not smart enough to keep her story simple. She
- 21:09Speaker 15: kept it complicated and confusing, and the more confusing she got,
- 21:13Speaker 15: the more she had to remember, and the more difficult
- 21:17Speaker 15: it was for her to be consistent. She is Shary
- 21:21Speaker 15: the liar who deserved much more incarceration time because of
- 21:26Speaker 15: the fact that she wasted law enforcement's time and effort
- 21:30Speaker 15: as she ruined the public. Because when people actually do
- 21:34Speaker 15: get kidnapped, we want the public to be good. We
- 21:37Speaker 15: want them to look for them. What we don't want
- 21:40Speaker 15: is someone like Sharry the Liar to ruin it for
- 21:44Speaker 15: the people who actually are honest victims.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 21:58Speaker 1: About the PolyGram to Sheriff Michael Johnson, who inherited this case.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Sheriff Johnson.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Sherry Peppini's private therapist, a renowned therapist, doctor Stephen M. Diggs,
- 22:13Speaker 1: states that she passed a Polly first I heard of it.
- 22:17Speaker 1: Did she pass a Polly?
- 22:18Speaker 12: No?
- 22:19Speaker 8: She got two questions right on a Polly that's it.
- 22:22Speaker 8: Two questions. That doesn't make her passing a polly. And
- 22:25Speaker 8: I got to go back to something else about you know,
- 22:27Speaker 8: I've always I always wondered how people can even still
- 22:32Speaker 8: sympathize with Sherry and believe her. And I just heard
- 22:35Speaker 8: the doctor that believes her. Actually James came up the
- 22:38Speaker 8: day before she went missing. So she went missing on
- 22:42Speaker 8: November tewod He came up November first, by her plan,
- 22:47Speaker 8: rented a car as she told him to, was supposed
- 22:50Speaker 8: to go missing that evening didn't work out. Plans didn't
- 22:53Speaker 8: work out. He spent the night in his car in
- 22:56Speaker 8: a parking lot and waited till the next day, till
- 22:58Speaker 8: they could orchestrate this plan. How you could say that
- 23:03Speaker 8: that she was actually kidnapped now and blame James and
- 23:07Speaker 8: and one other thing. I will agree with the doctor.
- 23:10Speaker 8: She definitely has a personality disorder. I don't know what
- 23:13Speaker 8: that technical disorder is, but I agree whether your prosecutor
- 23:17Speaker 8: a liar is the best the best one, I could say,
- 23:20Speaker 8: proven convicted liar, Doctor Diggs.
- 23:23Speaker 1: Did you know that fact that the boyfriend James, who
- 23:27Speaker 1: has never been charged with anything and fully cooperated along
- 23:32Speaker 1: with his brother and his mother and others that Shaw
- 23:35Speaker 1: saw Sherry.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Pepinie in his apartment.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Did you know he had come up the day before
- 23:40Speaker 1: and rented a car, pursue it to her request and
- 23:44Speaker 1: ended up staying overnight.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Yes, to leave with her the next day.
- 23:49Speaker 11: Well, I mean, what I believe is that she wanted
- 23:54Speaker 11: to have a hotel room or a parking lot and
- 23:58Speaker 11: then get back home as quick as quickly as possible,
- 24:01Speaker 11: But that the plan to go and leave for twenty
- 24:03Speaker 11: two days was his. She did not have that plan.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Well, then why the rental car?
- 24:08Speaker 11: Well, because he wanted to get around in town, I suppose,
- 24:13Speaker 11: I mean, he needed a way to drive around.
- 24:15Speaker 2: She told him to get the rental car.
- 24:17Speaker 11: Perhaps I don't know about that detail.
- 24:19Speaker 13: I don't know.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Well, I mean we're telling you they have evidence that
- 24:22Speaker 1: she told him to get a rental car and to
- 24:25Speaker 1: come under the day before.
- 24:26Speaker 10: Right.
- 24:27Speaker 11: Well, she is, she has been. She's doing better through therapy.
- 24:31Speaker 11: But she is a hardcore liar. That is true. What
- 24:34Speaker 11: I'm saying is it takes critical thinking her, folks, to
- 24:37Speaker 11: separate lying from abduction. Her crime was lying, But she
- 24:42Speaker 11: was abducted. And if you look at the film she
- 24:44Speaker 11: made her polygraph. Person says, both things can be true.
- 24:49Speaker 11: She can be lying and she could have been abducted.
- 24:52Speaker 11: They can be true.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I agree with that.
- 24:55Speaker 1: I mean, doctor DELATOORI is joining me another amazing shrink,
- 25:01Speaker 1: and I mean that in a loving and caring way.
- 25:04Speaker 1: A psychologist mediator specializing in forensic psychology. I'm consultant to
- 25:10Speaker 1: Project Absence, which is a nonprofit to help find missing people.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Doctor Tellatory, thank you. I certainly think two things can
- 25:20Speaker 1: be true to seemingly inconsistent things. Hey, I know she's lying,
- 25:25Speaker 1: but be I don't think it's possible that she was
- 25:28Speaker 1: kidnapped based on the hard evidence.
- 25:32Speaker 2: So the fact that she claims to have passed.
- 25:35Speaker 1: A polygraph, and I know for a fact she did
- 25:37Speaker 1: not pass a polygraph, the fact that she told someone
- 25:41Speaker 1: to come ahead of time in a rental car, driving
- 25:44Speaker 1: almost one thousand miles round trip to get her and
- 25:47Speaker 1: take her away, there's got to be there's got to
- 25:52Speaker 1: be something in the DSM to describe this woman insane.
- 25:57Speaker 2: It ain't okay, because.
- 25:59Speaker 1: That's a defense under the law. She knew what she
- 26:01Speaker 1: was doing, deleatorill.
- 26:02Speaker 7: She absolutely knew what she was doing.
- 26:04Speaker 3: I think there's an element of an impression management type presentation,
- 26:10Speaker 3: meaning there are some individuals who need to come across a.
- 26:14Speaker 7: Certain way to the world, to society, to the community.
- 26:18Speaker 3: Whoever, either as a hero or as a victim, these
- 26:22Speaker 3: individuals will say and do anything in order to keep
- 26:26Speaker 3: that kind of presentation going. I think there are elements
- 26:31Speaker 3: maybe of history on it, personality disorder, if we were
- 26:34Speaker 3: to really kind of boil down what exactly it is
- 26:37Speaker 3: that's going on. Uncomfortable in situations in which she's not
- 26:40Speaker 3: the center of attention, shallow affects, there are a lot
- 26:43Speaker 3: of elements in which she's trying to control a narrative
- 26:47Speaker 3: in order to make herself seem like a victim. Now
- 26:50Speaker 3: with histrionic unfortunately, these people tend to be more suggestible,
- 26:54Speaker 3: where Sherry Kippini seems to come across as.
- 26:57Speaker 7: More proactive and in telling whatever falsehood she thinks is
- 27:04Speaker 7: going to fit the situation that she finds herself in.
- 27:07Speaker 7: And that's where we get the two things can be
- 27:09Speaker 7: true at the same time, which is she's a liar
- 27:12Speaker 7: but believes that everything happened the way that she described it.
- 27:18Speaker 7: A lot really only works at.
- 27:19Speaker 1: The life in the delatory, which time the first time
- 27:23Speaker 1: when it was the fake Hispanic kidnappers, or this time
- 27:26Speaker 1: when it's a boyfriend. And did you notice Sheriff Michael Johnson,
- 27:30Speaker 1: who has clarified that she did not poss a past
- 27:33Speaker 1: a polygraph. Did you notice when you guys are getting
- 27:37Speaker 1: to go arrest, find and arrest to female Hispanic women,
- 27:41Speaker 1: She's like, wait, I don't want them arrested because they
- 27:45Speaker 1: let me go. They saved my life by letting me go. Translation,
- 27:50Speaker 1: that's all a big fat line. I don't want you
- 27:52Speaker 1: to find out.
- 27:53Speaker 8: That's exactly what it was. Everybody knows it. And now suddenly,
- 27:57Speaker 8: because she's in a court battle and wants custody of
- 28:02Speaker 8: her kids, she's got a new story. And that's that's
- 28:05Speaker 8: all this is. Is she's looking for more attention. She
- 28:08Speaker 8: wants to win a case, she wants sympathy, she wants
- 28:11Speaker 8: some custody of her kids. And this is her next
- 28:14Speaker 8: ditch effort to try to create more drama.
- 28:17Speaker 12: Toil agreements, phone into the carbonsil agreements. We have everything
- 28:24Speaker 12: that says that he said, he.
- 28:26Speaker 13: Told that's James product diseased.
- 28:29Speaker 12: Nick, So everything you told us, so many truths in
- 28:35Speaker 12: this situation. The reason why you can describe the rooms
- 28:39Speaker 12: is because you stayed in the room in the dark
- 28:41Speaker 12: for hours, for days on end. The reason why you
- 28:45Speaker 12: lost so much weight is because you stopped eating. The
- 28:48Speaker 12: reason why you got a rash on your farm is
- 28:50Speaker 12: because he cleaned his house.
- 28:52Speaker 13: The reason why the brand is because.
- 28:55Speaker 8: He went to the store and bought the brand mantols
- 28:57Speaker 8: and branded you.
- 28:58Speaker 13: The reason why your nose is because of the hearts.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Wow to Kelly som joining US anchor Action News now
- 29:06Speaker 1: CBS and NBC affiliate in Redding.
- 29:09Speaker 2: That's a lot of evidence.
- 29:11Speaker 1: The rental agreement, the phone rental, the car rental, everything, DNA,
- 29:17Speaker 1: blonde hair.
- 29:19Speaker 2: The works.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Now that brings to light the fact that Sherry Pepini
- 29:25Speaker 1: was using a burner phone and when she described the
- 29:29Speaker 1: home of the female Hispanic kidnappers, she actually described the
- 29:34Speaker 1: home of the boyfriend, James Rayis down.
- 29:37Speaker 2: To a photo in his room of his dead brother.
- 29:41Speaker 10: I think what the investigation revealed is she was able
- 29:44Speaker 10: to give the very detailed misrepresentation so they found believable,
- 29:50Speaker 10: but then later when you go to confirm them, they
- 29:53Speaker 10: don't match up with reality. Some of the other details
- 29:56Speaker 10: she shared with that she felt cold and where she
- 29:59Speaker 10: s as she was kept it rained almost every night.
- 30:03Speaker 10: That there was a windy road and she felt like
- 30:05Speaker 10: she was being taken up in elevation. Is up into
- 30:08Speaker 10: the mountains. That does not describe the boyfriend's apartment in Coastamasa, California.
- 30:14Speaker 10: It did not rain every night. It was definitely not
- 30:16Speaker 10: cold there. So parts of the story were true, and
- 30:21Speaker 10: then parts of them were not. It was a very
- 30:24Speaker 10: detailed lie. And in that interview where they confronted her
- 30:27Speaker 10: with the fact, they gave her an opportunity to say,
- 30:31Speaker 10: isn't he a problem with your husband, Keith Peppini, she said, no,
- 30:35Speaker 10: I love my husband. I don't want to leave him.
- 30:37Speaker 10: I'm a terrible person for community communicating with former boyfriends.
- 30:42Speaker 10: They gave her an opportunity to finger and point the
- 30:45Speaker 10: finger at James rage and she said, no, James loves me,
- 30:49Speaker 10: he's my friend. He wouldn't do anything like this. So
- 30:52Speaker 10: they were in essence bending over backwards, giving her an
- 30:55Speaker 10: opportunity to tell the story. She waited another five years
- 30:59Speaker 10: to tell.
- 31:00Speaker 1: There's more but the fact that she was using a
- 31:04Speaker 1: burner phone shareff Michael Michael Johnson is with us. The
- 31:09Speaker 1: only people that I know that use burner phones are
- 31:11Speaker 1: dope dealers and felons. I mean, why do you need
- 31:16Speaker 1: a burner phone?
- 31:17Speaker 8: Because you want to create distance, You don't want a
- 31:20Speaker 8: law enforcement to find you, you don't want other people
- 31:22Speaker 8: to find you. There's a number of reasons, right. Burner
- 31:25Speaker 8: phones are the tool of the trade for criminal activity,
- 31:29Speaker 8: and she's no different she. Let's not forget she's proven
- 31:35Speaker 8: convicted liar. The whole thing's a hoax.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Guys, there's more.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Listen to the interrogation and watch your body language and
- 31:41Speaker 1: how she reacts.
- 31:44Speaker 13: I rented a car for a look and picked her up.
- 31:49Speaker 13: He passed the polygraph test.
- 31:50Speaker 5: Here.
- 31:51Speaker 13: If that's not what happened, what did happen here?
- 31:55Speaker 2: No, there's no.
- 31:58Speaker 13: Way is change away. Ay d doesn't like his DNA
- 32:04Speaker 13: is his DNA was on me.
- 32:06Speaker 2: There's no way.
- 32:08Speaker 13: Robert saw you in the house while you were down there.
- 32:12Speaker 1: Yeah, the boyfriend, James Ray's brother, Robert saw Peppini in
- 32:16Speaker 1: the house and everything was fine. Nobody was being held
- 32:20Speaker 1: against their will. But that's her story. Now, in a
- 32:23Speaker 1: bizarre you turn the ultimate the original gone girl says, Okay, yes,
- 32:29Speaker 1: maybe I wasn't kidnapped by two Hispanic females and beaten starved,
- 32:33Speaker 1: but I was kidnapped by my old boyfriend. Crime Stories
- 32:44Speaker 1: with Nancy Grace, Okay, DEARYLD Cohen, another truth bomb is
- 32:51Speaker 1: dropped on the husband. You knows how she's looking down
- 32:53Speaker 1: and she won't look at the husband when they say, yeah,
- 32:57Speaker 1: your ex boyfriend's DNA is all over you.
- 32:59Speaker 15: Woman, Oh, it's wonderful, Nancy. She is digging and digging.
- 33:03Speaker 15: She's not just using a little shovel, She's using a
- 33:06Speaker 15: ditch digger, because that is what she is doing. Piece
- 33:10Speaker 15: by piece by piece. She's putting the story together that
- 33:15Speaker 15: she cannot even fathom her husband, who apparently is a
- 33:19Speaker 15: good person.
- 33:20Speaker 2: And Tracy jumping off what Darryl Cohen is saying.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Do you notice how she won't she does her face
- 33:26Speaker 1: like this and won't even look at her husband when
- 33:28Speaker 1: the cops keep taking sheriffs keep talking about your ex boyfriend,
- 33:32Speaker 1: James Rayes, DNA is all over you.
- 33:34Speaker 2: His brother saw you, his mother knew you were there.
- 33:37Speaker 1: I mean, she won't look at her husband, and she
- 33:41Speaker 1: just keeps saying, it's not him, it's not him.
- 33:43Speaker 2: But guess what today, she says it is him.
- 33:45Speaker 14: Well, there's that, And here's what I notice off of
- 33:47Speaker 14: that is there's no tears.
- 33:49Speaker 2: She's not like she's trying to cry.
- 33:52Speaker 14: But when people cry, they'll they'll poll at themselves, and
- 33:57Speaker 14: she's not doing any of that. But if you listen
- 33:59Speaker 14: to her tong that's where she's trying to go. So
- 34:03Speaker 14: sake tears right there.
- 34:05Speaker 12: You used a burner phone to call another burner phone
- 34:08Speaker 12: for James to come and get you.
- 34:10Speaker 13: You're saying, since you're married, you haven't called James.
- 34:13Speaker 6: I have called James because earlier he is then you
- 34:16Speaker 6: had contacted James.
- 34:20Speaker 13: As phone records. Story that you do, you did, the
- 34:24Speaker 13: phone's don't lie, the DNA doesn't my share. You can
- 34:26Speaker 13: go a couple of different directions.
- 34:27Speaker 6: Now his story, I've already told you lying to me
- 34:30Speaker 6: as a crime, So you walk out the story.
- 34:31Speaker 13: We're telling lies and that's a crime.
- 34:35Speaker 1: I think we need any.
- 34:36Speaker 2: Later with me.
- 34:37Speaker 1: In addition to our other incredible guest is Sherry Peppinie's psychologist,
- 34:43Speaker 1: her therapist, California psychologist at NYSA Therapy, doctor Stephen Diggs.
- 34:50Speaker 1: So is there a rational explanation from peppinie as to
- 34:55Speaker 1: why she was using a burner phone to call James
- 34:59Speaker 1: Rays her phone?
- 35:00Speaker 2: Why did they both need burner phones?
- 35:03Speaker 5: She was trying to have him to share with him,
- 35:05Speaker 5: That's what she says.
- 35:07Speaker 2: Then why did he need a burner phone?
- 35:08Speaker 5: I don't know that.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Well, that's a hard question.
- 35:14Speaker 1: To answer, but I think I have a pretty good
- 35:19Speaker 1: idea about why it could not be revealed that she
- 35:25Speaker 1: was snugged up with her ex boyfriend talking to other.
- 35:29Speaker 2: Guys that got me here?
- 35:34Speaker 13: So are you what I aspect?
- 35:36Speaker 12: Are you saying, how did how does some other people
- 35:38Speaker 12: get here what you got?
- 35:45Speaker 6: Obviously you've heard questions, so you can read through some
- 35:48Speaker 6: of those. And I understand you've seen some of the photos,
- 35:51Speaker 6: so you know some of the investing. Yeah, but you
- 35:56Speaker 6: can also know as your reaction compared to her reaction.
- 35:59Speaker 7: Yeah, no percent, That's what I'm saying from my side.
- 36:02Speaker 2: But now now you're telling me, Okay, you guys go.
- 36:03Speaker 13: Home elf whole.
- 36:05Speaker 3: I want her anywhere around my kids or around me
- 36:07Speaker 3: at all at this point.
- 36:08Speaker 1: Isn't it true Kelly Sam that after a previous incident
- 36:13Speaker 1: of cheating, that Sherry Peppini signed a post nup after
- 36:18Speaker 1: the marriage, stating that she would lose custody if she
- 36:22Speaker 1: cheated again, and that's why she couldn't admit that she
- 36:27Speaker 1: was at her ex boyfriend's plaicing covered in his DNA
- 36:30Speaker 1: correct About.
- 36:31Speaker 10: A year into their marriage, Keith had Sherry sign that
- 36:35Speaker 10: post nuptial agreement saying, if I catch you cheating again,
- 36:40Speaker 10: you're pretty much going to lose everything, and you're going
- 36:42Speaker 10: to lose the kids and the money. And that was
- 36:45Speaker 10: in the back of her mind, very very fearful of
- 36:48Speaker 10: losing her children, and so that's what prompted the false
- 36:53Speaker 10: story coming back that No, I wasn't cheating, I wasn't communicating,
- 36:58Speaker 10: I was hiding these communications with burner phones so I
- 37:01Speaker 10: wouldn't be discovered and I wouldn't lose my children.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Okay, to doctor Stephen Diggs, were you aware of the
- 37:08Speaker 1: posting up that if she cheated again she would lose
- 37:11Speaker 1: custody of the children and all the money.
- 37:13Speaker 5: Yeah, she's a liar and the cheater, and she's got
- 37:17Speaker 5: self defeating personality disorder, and as the other psychologist said,
- 37:20Speaker 5: she's got history onic features too. These are all common
- 37:24Speaker 5: activities and people with that diagnosis.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Okay, you know to me, Doctor Delatory, that posting up
- 37:31Speaker 1: that she would lose the children and the money if
- 37:34Speaker 1: she cheated again.
- 37:38Speaker 2: To me, that says it all.
- 37:39Speaker 1: That explains why she has to say that she was
- 37:43Speaker 1: kidnapped by the ex boyfriend James Reyes, because if she
- 37:48Speaker 1: can prove she was kidnapped, that means she wasn't cheating,
- 37:52Speaker 1: and therefore she can get money and children.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Am I being clear, Doctor Delatory?
- 37:58Speaker 7: Absolutely, it's a catalyst.
- 38:00Speaker 3: Right, So her husband already knew that this was a
- 38:03Speaker 3: behavior that she could likely do again, and once she
- 38:07Speaker 3: felt compelled to engage in that behavior right have the affair,
- 38:10Speaker 3: she knew that she was going to have to find
- 38:12Speaker 3: a way to skirt around this post nuptial agreement. I mean,
- 38:17Speaker 3: I can't see how the kidnapping could be legitimate, as
- 38:21Speaker 3: then it's like she was legitimately kidnapped when she has
- 38:25Speaker 3: every reason to lie and has done so in order
- 38:29Speaker 3: to skirt around what is known going to be a consequence,
- 38:33Speaker 3: which is losing everything that she had ever won.
- 38:35Speaker 1: I don't understand what the end game is now, Sheriff
- 38:38Speaker 1: Michael Johnson with us, you and doctor Diggs know this
- 38:42Speaker 1: better than any of US Sheriff Johnson. Why the IDA
- 38:47Speaker 1: Discovery special. I guess to further perception that she, okay,
- 38:55Speaker 1: first of all, wasn't kidnapped, that she lied about that,
- 38:58Speaker 1: that she lied about the two Hispanic females kidnapping her
- 39:02Speaker 1: for what. They didn't molest her, they didn't get any money,
- 39:05Speaker 1: and then they just said, oh, yeah, you know what,
- 39:06Speaker 1: forget it. I'm just going to throw it out on
- 39:08Speaker 1: the street. That was a lie, she says. But now
- 39:13Speaker 1: she's saying that she lied again. She's now saying that
- 39:18Speaker 1: she was kidnapped, although you see her and all these
- 39:22Speaker 1: confession tapes saying it wasn't him, it wasn't.
- 39:25Speaker 2: Him, blah blah, blah blah. I mean, what's the end
- 39:28Speaker 2: game here?
- 39:29Speaker 8: I think the end game it's just like doctor Delatry said,
- 39:34Speaker 8: this is her last stitch effort to try to get
- 39:38Speaker 8: custody of her kids, to try to get some sort
- 39:41Speaker 8: of stability, with monetary stability back in her life. And
- 39:46Speaker 8: probably because of her disorder and because of who she is,
- 39:51Speaker 8: she's still starving for her attention and she wants to
- 39:53Speaker 8: be in the limelight and I can't. Yeah, I mean,
- 39:56Speaker 8: you've covered a lot of it. There's so much evidence
- 39:59Speaker 8: over evidence that she has lied and created this whole thing,
- 40:04Speaker 8: and she in fact did not get kidnapped that it's
- 40:09Speaker 8: just ridiculous to me that we're even talking about this
- 40:12Speaker 8: because she's come up with a new life.
- 40:14Speaker 1: What do you think is the strongest evidence a sheriff
- 40:17Speaker 1: that she was not kidnapped by the ex boyfriend.
- 40:21Speaker 2: In addition to what.
- 40:22Speaker 1: His mother says, his brother says, they're both using burner phones.
- 40:27Speaker 1: And by the way, that was a nine hundred mile
- 40:30Speaker 1: round trip he took, okay just to get her.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Really is she worth that?
- 40:35Speaker 15: In her direction?
- 40:36Speaker 13: All right?
- 40:37Speaker 2: But says she was in the car for four hundred
- 40:39Speaker 2: and fifty miles.
- 40:40Speaker 1: She couldn't jump out or use one of her burner
- 40:42Speaker 1: phones to get away.
- 40:43Speaker 8: Oh, they stopped at it. They stopped and let her
- 40:45Speaker 8: use the restroom on the way after she was picked
- 40:48Speaker 8: up on the way back to his place in Coast Amazon.
- 40:51Speaker 8: If she really wanted to get away and she was
- 40:53Speaker 8: really abducted and kidnapped, she had opportunity not to be
- 40:58Speaker 8: held by her captive at all, and there is I
- 41:01Speaker 8: don't know, when you say what's the most compelling evidence,
- 41:05Speaker 8: I don't know. That there is one thing. It's a
- 41:07Speaker 8: conglomeration of all these facts put together that make such
- 41:12Speaker 8: a strong case, which is why she confessed, which is
- 41:16Speaker 8: why she did prison time, which is why she agreed
- 41:19Speaker 8: to restitution payments for the time and money she wasted
- 41:23Speaker 8: on everybody. Now, this is just another Sherry peppini lie.
- 41:27Speaker 2: I want you to hear something else, everybody, And of
- 41:29Speaker 2: course I'm no shrink. We can all agree on that.
- 41:32Speaker 2: I'm just a JD. But I want you to hear this.
- 41:35Speaker 13: James said you.
- 41:36Speaker 12: Had your job broking by him, and that's why I
- 41:38Speaker 12: came and got you, because you're an inducive relationship.
- 41:43Speaker 2: Too.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Darryl Cohen is joining me, longtime colleague. We prosecuted in
- 41:47Speaker 1: the same offs together. Darryl, you've met my husband David
- 41:50Speaker 1: many many times and the twins. When I see you
- 41:53Speaker 1: or talk to you, do I immediately say I love
- 41:56Speaker 1: my husband Nancy? And Shakespeare said me thinks thou doth
- 42:00Speaker 1: protest too much? Why does she keep saying.
- 42:02Speaker 2: I love my husband? Because she's busted with her ex boyfriend.
- 42:08Speaker 16: Because she's been caught and she doesn't know what to do.
- 42:11Speaker 16: She's been so caught. No, when I run into you.
- 42:14Speaker 16: Your body language, the way you and your husband are together,
- 42:18Speaker 16: tells me everything. And I may not be a certified
- 42:22Speaker 16: body language expert, but I look at facial expressions, I
- 42:25Speaker 16: look at body language. I watch what's going on, and
- 42:29Speaker 16: that tells me a lot. No, you don't overly say
- 42:33Speaker 16: oh I love my husband, but it's what you do
- 42:37Speaker 16: that makes it all worthwhile. It's how you do it.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Let's go to an expert. Tracy Brown Darryl Cohen hit
- 42:44Speaker 1: it on the head. What does that mean that she
- 42:46Speaker 1: keeps saying And that was just one tiny tidbit. I've
- 42:48Speaker 1: watched the whole thing at nauseum and she keeps saying
- 42:51Speaker 1: I love and trying to cry. But what does that
- 42:55Speaker 1: mean when you keep asserting that nobody asked her?
- 42:58Speaker 14: That's exactly what I was going to say. Hey, nobody
- 43:00Speaker 14: asked her at all. And so this is what she
- 43:03Speaker 14: wants you to believe. At all times. Whenever anybody is
- 43:09Speaker 14: asking any kind of important question, you got to ask
- 43:11Speaker 14: yourself what do they want you to believe about them?
- 43:15Speaker 14: And that's in this case number one, that she loves
- 43:19Speaker 14: her husband even though nobody asks, nobody probably cares. But
- 43:24Speaker 14: this tells us something about what she wants us to
- 43:28Speaker 14: believe about her relationship and how she operates in the world.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Sadly, Cherry Peppini cannot be prosecuted for lying to Discovery
- 43:36Speaker 1: ID or else she'd be facing another slew of charges.
- 43:41Speaker 1: Let's stop and remember an American hero officer Agian Lopez
- 43:44Speaker 1: White Mountain Apache PD shot in the line of duty,
- 43:48Speaker 1: leaving behind a grieving wife, Lushawna, and two children. American
