Lead Stories:

  1. The so-called California "supermom" is behind bars on suspicion of faking her own kidnapping that made global headlines over five years ago. Sherri Papini was reported missing by her husband in November of 2016, prompting a massive FBI search. Papini was found weeks later over 100 miles from her home north of San Francisco, with chains on her body and a brand on her shoulder. She told police officers she was held against her will by two Mexican women, but investigators now say she was staying with an ex-boyfriend and hurt herself to make her story more believable. Papini received $30,000 from the California victim compensation fund.
  2. This morning Highway 50 is closed in both directions in the Sierra. Crews are working to break up a bolder in the road. US-50 is shut down in both directions due to massive boulder in the middle of the highway Eastbound US-50 closed at Sly Park Rd. & westbound US-50 closed at SR-89 Jct. Caltrans is estimating a time of reopening for this afternoon around 2pm. Snow and rain is also expected in the area this afternoon.
