Sherri Papini could not describe her abductors as they hid their faces from the 34-year-old when her head wasn't covered, authorities reportedly said. The investigation into Papini's kidnapping has made no progress so far, but police say the case is still "a top priority."

Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko told local KRCR-TV this week there was no sketch ready of the kidnappers as the California mother could not describe them. Bosenko told the TV station that Papini's head was covered most of the time. He also revealed authorities were waiting for the Department of Justice to process evidence, according to the Daily Mail.

Papini disappeared Nov. 2 while out jogging near her home in Redding, California. Her husband Keith filed a missing complaint after she failed to pick up her children from daycare. She was found heavily battered on Thanksgiving morning after being spotted by a motorist on Interstate 5 in Woodland, more than 150 miles from her home.

Bosenko reportedly said there was no reason to doubt the mother of two was kidnapped and tortured.

Police are still searching for the suspects in the case, believed to be two Hispanic women — one with curly hair, and the other with straight hair — who had covered their faces and spoke mostly Spanish.

Last week, serial killer profiler John Kelly told People magazine he wasn’t convinced that two armed women kidnapped Papini. Kelly said the people involved in the kidnapping terrified Papini into lying about her abductor’s real identity.

“This is a sadistic situation, and she somehow was able to convince them to let her go,” Kelly told People in last week’s issue.

“She somehow got them to believe she would not squeal on them,” he said reportedly. “It’s only by an act of God that they let her go. I have a hard time understanding that as sadistic as these [people] are — and I’ve hunted many of them — would let someone live.”
