The Kidnapping of Denise Huskins

On September 2015, Huskins stepped forward and admitted to being kidnapped, sexually assaulted and held for three days.

When she was freed, police publicly cast doubt on her story.

They imply the whole thing may have been a hoax.

Huskins filed a claim against the city and three police officers.

According to the document.

When Aaron Quinn, her boyfriend, alerted police for help, they did not believe his story of the kidnapping to be true.

Instead, the police went ahead and cut off contact between Quinn and the alleged kidnappers allowing Denise's life to be endangered.

The kidnappers had said they'd be in touch with him about ransom demands, the claim said.

Denise was returned to her family in Huntington Beach, California three days after her kidnapping.

Months after Vallejo Police Department deemed the event as a hoax, federal investigators found Muller to be a prime suspect in the kidnapping.

On June 2015, the Federal Bureau Investigation obtained a warrant for his arrest due to two previous home invasions in Dublin, California.

They arrested Muller in Lake Tahoe, and had found laptop similar to the ones Quinn owned, and goggles similar to the ones that Quinn and Denise were forced to wear.

Muller pleaded not guilty to the kidnapping.

On September 29th, 2016, Muller pleaded guilty.
