Koester’s younger sister, Sherri Papini, vanished on November 2, 2016, while jogging near her home in Redding, CA. 3 weeks later (on November 24), she was found restrained along a road 150 miles away. Her case gained media attention due to doubts raised by law enforcement. It was later uncovered that Sherri Papini had faked her abduction, staying with an ex-boyfriend and injuring herself to support her lies. She received over $30K in victim funds before her arrest in March 2022. Six weeks later, she confessed to the hoax and pleaded guilty to mail fraud and lying. In September 2022, she was sentenced to 18 months in prison and 3 years of supervised release, and she was ordered to repay $300K.
