Sherri Papini, a Northern California woman who faked her own 2016 kidnapping, has agreed to a plea deal with authorities confessing that her story was a hoax.
"I am deeply ashamed of myself for my behavior and so sorry for the pain I’ve caused my family, my friends, all the good people who needlessly suffered because of my story and those who worked so hard to try to help me," she said in a statement to the media on Tuesday. "I will work the rest of my life to make amends for what I have done."
