Controversy ______ around Papini since November 2016, when her husband ______ her missing after she failed to pick up their children from day care, triggering a massive search effort.

Three weeks later, she ______ on the side of a road, battered and bruised and with restraints on her waist and wrists. Police said she had also been branded and her hair had been cut.

After an exhaustive hunt for her alleged captors, the FBI announced in March this year that it found she ______ the whole affair.
