Abducted jogger had message burned in her skin

The California mom who was kidnapped, tortured and starved had a message burned into her skin by her abductors and her hair chopped off to “humiliate her,” police said Wednesday.

Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko would not describe the content of the message seared into Sherri Papini, 34, who survived the harrowing three-week ordeal.

“I would think that that was some sort of either an exertion of power and control and/or maybe some type of message that the brand contained. It is not a symbol, but it was a message,” Bosenko told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Wednesday morning.

“Obviously, a very sick person who may have wanted to not only to cut it off to change her physical appearance, but also as to humiliate them, wear her down,” Bosenko added.

Keith Papini, Sherri’s husband, issued a statement Tuesday detailing the horror of seeing his wife in the hospital for the first time after her release by her kidnappers.

“Obviously, a very sick person who may have wanted to not only to cut it off to change her physical appearance, but also as to humiliate them, wear her down,” Bosenko added.
