Will the new year have as much revealed in the Sherri Papini case as 2017 did?

The suspects haven’t been caught, but 2017 was still a year of major revelations in the Sherri Papini case.

Papini, then 34, disappeared Nov. 2, 2016, and reappeared on the side of a road in Yolo County that Thanksgiving morning. She told officials two Hispanic women abducted her, beat her and held her captive in a basement until one of them decided to dump her on the side of a lonely road in Yolo County.

The confounding nature of Papini’s disappearance captured an international audience, with a dedicated community of Internet sleuths who still regularly analyze news stories and exchange theories about what happened for the 22 days she was gone — and why.

But they didn't have much to go off until late 2017. While Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko held a press conference describing Papini's alleged captors a few days after she reappeared, their sketches weren’t ready for release until late October of this year.

And that wasn't all that came out in 2017

Sheriff’s deputies used the release of the sketches to share more details on the investigation, including that Papini had been texting a man in Michigan later ruled out as a suspect, mysterious male DNA was on her clothes, and she described a fight she had with one of the women who allegedly abducted her, they said.

Adding more mystery to the case, investigators said the male DNA didn't belong to any offenders from a database or Papini's husband, Keith Papini. And while investigators said she told them the fight with one of her captors resulted in a cut on her foot, "when she was being processed at the hospital ... no evidence of a cut was seen in the photographs," a sheriff's report said.

The sketches also seemed to raise more questions than they answered, investigators said.

"Detectives and investigators reviewed the sketches and compared the sketches with known witnesses or contacts identified during the investigation to see if the sketches matched any known parties. No matches were made with case file information," they wrote at the time.

The Sheriff's Office also released surveillance footage of Papini running around a church parking lot moments after her release, apparently looking for help.

Investigators shed more light on Papini's physical condition when she was found, too. Sgt. Brian Jackson said at the time that Papini had bruises indicating she was assaulted multiple times, her hair was cut to shoulder-length and she had a brand on her right shoulder that investigators still couldn't make out because of its "obscure letters" and poor quality.

But depending on whether deputies think releasing any new details they may uncover would help them solve the case, it might be a landmark year compared to the coming one, too.

“We’re still reviewing stuff with the case, and then, obviously, if appropriate and it’s going to help identify the suspects, then we’ll release more information. But we have no plans for anything (to be released) in the coming months," Jackson said in December. "We're still working the case and will hopefully get these suspects identified and get some closure and get things going. That's our goal."
