As Episode 1 of "Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini" (2024 release; 3 ranging from 53 to 62 min each) opens, it is "November 2, 2016: and we hear a frantic 911 call from a guy who says that his wife Sherri is missing. The family lives is Redding, CA, a remote area close to the Oregon border. It isn't long before the local cops are zeroing in on the husband as a suspect... At this point we are 10 minutes into Episode 1.

Couple of comments: let me state upfront that I had not heard of this particular true crime case before. Perhaps I heard about it in 2016 when this broke, but I don't recall. In any event, this is another great true crime documentary, and yet more proof (if any further was needed) that facts are stranger than fiction. Of course, I'm not going to spoil what happened. At just 3 episodes, this flies by in no time (I saw the whole thing in a single setting). The production team does a nice job pacing and editing this.

"Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini" recently started streaming on Hulu, where I caught it the other night. If you are a fin of true crime documentaries, I'd readily suggest you check this out and draw your own conclusion.
