Found 30 Year Old, Denise Huskins, Forcibly Taken From Home

This one was a wild ride from start to finish. I remember following very closely when it happened.
 
At @Muriel Schwenck 's link (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...dubbed-Gone-Girl-hoaxer-describes-ordeal.html), there are statements from both the kidnapped girl and from her mother. Here's the victim's statement:

Matthew Muller. The voice has a face, it has a name. Now we finally meet, face to face, eye to eye. I am Denise Huskins, the woman behind the blindfold. The woman you drugged, tortured, raped and attempted to manipulate; the woman you repeatedly apologized to, repeatedly complimented for the strength in dealing with this life‐threatening situation that you helped inflict upon.

Remember the times you acknowledged and said to me that you could see that Aaron and I were good people, and we didn’t deserve this. Before you put me in the trunk of Aaron’s car, taking me captive, you told me that this wasn’t meant for me, and you named Aaron’s ex by her first and last name.

You promised not to “dehumanize” me any more than you had to, yet, for the next two days you treated me like an object, a toy, an animal to fulfill you and your associates’ selfish, evil needs.

I had also struggled in my young adulthood. You know that. I shared that with you. I told you about being molested as a child, how that impacted me and that it had been hard to heal, but therapy helped. I shared that most personal information with you after you claimed to be suffering from PTSD and insomnia. I was trying to connect with this voice who was hardly human, in hopes it would spare me from more torture, spare my body, spare my life.

After sharing that, you still made the decision to rape me, and not just violating my body, but forcing me to perform, act, and have it recorded. I was heavily sedated for a 48‐hour period. You and your associates did an excellent job at making your threats clear. I saw flashes of lights and heard the electric shocks of tasers. I felt the sharp edge of a knife as it grazed my skin when you cut off the zipties. I was outnumbered, you were armed, you were trained, I was helpless, defenseless. If I fought or not, the rapes would still happen. So, I lessened the blow and complied. And of course, it didn’t just happen once, but twice.

The second time you forced me to kiss you and say things to make it seem like we were a legitimate couple. You couldn’t just take my physical body and let me be detached from it, like I was in the first rape as you flopped me around the bed like a rag doll. This second time, you made me perform, “let’s pretend like we are with other people, the people we love, to get us through it”, as if this were happening to the both of us. I saw right through all of this, but knew I had to appease you. The only way I got through it was to picture that it was Aaron that I was with, and that will haunt me for the rest of my life. I know you did that on purpose, to leave your mark on me in the most special and intimate moments of my life.

You expressed your belief in how I was handling all of this. Why was I not acting hysterically, begging and pleading for you to spare my life, spare my body? I didn’t react that way because I knew that’s what you wanted, what you were looking for, what thrilled you, motivated you. You wanted to have that type of power over another being’s life. That’s why you had practiced and prepared, planned these types of scenarios for as far back as 2009, your conduct escalating until you finally succeeded in taking me.

If I were to die, if this was my last moment, hour, day on this Earth I would not live it screaming, panicking, crying in terror. I would go out proud and grateful for the life I lived, the family and friends I have, the grievances I have overcome, the amazing career that I loved, the patients and colleagues I had worked with, the loves I had experienced, especially in finding the love of my life, Aaron. I didn’t know what was to come, but I did know that I had all those people there with me, their love and energy, to give me strength to survive. I wouldn’t let myself see the terror, all I focused on was them. That is how I survived.



Within an hour of my release, the police questioning began and I very quickly learned that they did not believe me. I was a suspect accused of making this up and then publicly shamed after a press conference by an officer from the Vallejo Police Department who stated that I owed the public an apology. I had to retain a criminal defense attorney to fight for my innocence, I lost my job and I lost my health insurance at a time when I most needed care.

When speaking with law enforcement, there were two things the voice warned me that I could not discuss: That he was former military and that he had sex with me. If I were to disclose either of these pieces of information, he would come after my family, and I believed him.

When I was 12 years old, I was molested. It took over a decade for me to tell my mother. Years after that man molested me, he molested another little girl, and was caught. Had I told my mother at the time, the horror that little girl had gone through could have been prevented. I lived with shame and guilt because of that most of my life, and am still forgiving myself.

So, despite the threat to my family, I needed to tell the police about the rapes. A sexual assault exam is the most vulnerable thing a woman can do so soon after a being assaulted, but you go through it in hopes that the information they collect could help find the perpetrator and prevent other women from this horrific experience.

The nurses examined my body, noting and taking pictures of the bruising on the left side of my back where Muller had dropped me when trying to pull me out of the trunk. They surveyed my naked body with a black light, swabbed my bare chest, neck, stomach and groin where Muller put his lips and tongue on me. They examined me internally, noting and taking pictures of comparatively small lesions in my cervix. I wasn’t sure if this information would only be used against me and confirm to the police and FBI that I was lying. And here I was, the victim of a kidnaping and rapes, completely exposed with no loved ones nearby, wishing that I had put up more of a fight, was beaten more, was torn into more so the police would be more likely to believe me.

Every day I am grateful to be alive. Despite the many hopeless moments Aaron and I have overcome thus far, I still manage to hold out some hope for the future. Because of the aftermath of the kidnapping, and because of the kidnapping itself, it has been a long hard struggle to pick up the pieces of our lives. We fortunately have an amazing support system from both of our friends and families. We have moved cities, started new jobs.

I still have nightmares every night. For over a year if I came home alone, I would grab a knife and looking behind every door, in every corner. I have a hammer by my bed that I reach for in the worst of my nightmares. Sleep is not rest for me, it is a trigger.

There’s not a moment in the day that I don’t remember this. It’s not that I want to focus on it, but the depth of the terror is so deep, I have had to learn how to live side by side with it. I am humbled in that reality, this new reality. I am at that point in my life where Aaron and I talk about marriage and a family. But I am so scared of bringing a child into this world after the horror Muller has put me through, put my family through.

Above all, I am so grateful for Aaron, standing by my side and giving me strength and support as I continue to struggle. We both still have difficulties, but he had returned to work quickly, selflessly to support us and allow us to move forward with our lives. He knows exactly how to calm me, care for me, how to hold me in the midst of my nightmares. The thought of returning to his arms during those 48 hours helped get me through it, and I never want him to let me go. He gives me peace, love, laughter and hope in humanity.

I still can’t make sense of any of this, and I accept that I will never know. But what I do know, is that Matthew Muller willingly, thoughtfully, participated in this hell we have survived. He had every opportunity in that 48 hours to do something different, but chose not to. He said he was remorseful and would never do it again, yet two short months later, he still attacked another family.

I have no doubt that this man should not be free to walk amongst the rest of us. I don’t say that because I believe in revenge, in “eye for an eye,” but because of my experiences with him I know, without doubt or hesitation, that as long as he walks free, there will be more victims.

@spiff, thanks for adding the great details. I couldn't do that with my phone.
Also note the defense attorney made a snarky remark to the judge about how the harsh sentence marginalized the poor defendant's mental illness. Ah, too bad.

Vallejo police have since apologized. Huskins is suing the city and two police officers, accusing them of defamation and inflicting emotional distress.

Quinn described Thursday how the home he once loved "turned into a prison" and how his young nieces still check under their beds each night.

"They're not checking for a bogeyman," he told Muller directly. "They're checking for you."

Muller, a former Marine, was admitted to practice law in California in 2011, and his state bar profile says he attended Harvard Law School. He lost his law license in 2015 in an unrelated incident.

Who are his "associates" she mentioned?

And she mentions another family he attacked. Don't think i remember reading about that.

The police dept involved shoulda fired every inept officer responsible for the fuckup and media attacks on these poor victims a long time ago. Shows where their priorities are. Hope the lawsuit hurts the dept real bad.

Well done on that one members of Dreamindemon! Fucking idiot assholes. Just think, while most of you were posting your intense criticism and tasteless, bottom feeding insults of this poor woman, she was undergoing dehumanizing rape kits and struggling to rebuild her entire fucking life after the harrowing crime she went through. Nice.

I again, never doubted the victims story.

Pathetically light sentence for this guy. Hopefully the state pursues the rape charge and hits him with life/no parole.

I hope they include a little montage highlighting the public shaming that went on, specifically online. Maybe dreamindemon could even get some mainstream exposure in such a scene, i imagine the footage might look something like this...

with the shitstains patting themselves on the back as they smugly play detective on an internet crime forum, as they hit "like" ,"funny", "awesome response" on all their sick, baseless (and completely WRONG), vitriol filled vomited out comments aimed at these poor victims.

As part of his scare tactics, he pretended he had associates, even used recordings to convince them.

That was the crime he was arrested for. Then police searched his storage unit and found evidence of the Huskins kidnapping.

Awesome. I feel like lawsuit outcomes are the most rare updates in crime/police wrongdoing/etc. type situations here.

Oh and again, you idiots on this site are fucking ignorant dipshit scum and i am fucking brilliant and always right.

I read the State did bring its own charges in Jan 2019. There is a lot of shit from a year+ ago of him possibly representing himself and questioning the victim in court. I cant find anything up to date though, not sure if the trial hasnt happened yet or what.

Matthew Muller, the man who abducted Denise Huskins in Vallejo, sparking a case in which police initially accused her of staging her own kidnapping, was sentenced to 31 years in prison for raping her during her ordeal.

"What is your plea?" asked Judge Daniel Healy of Solano County Superior Court.

"No contest, your honor, replied Muller, a former attorney and Marine.

Muller pleaded no contest to two counts of rape, admitting that he had sexually assaulted her.

Vallejo police had initially accused Huskins of faking her own kidnappings, which Solano County prosecutor Sharon Henry lamented.

"It’s a travesty of justice, and mistakes were made," Henry said.

Vallejo police investigators had concluded that Huskins and her boyfriend had made up a story about being blindfolded and drugged by a stranger in a wetsuit before she was taken away. She showed up days later near her father's home in Southern California.

In reality, it was Muller who kidnapped Huskins, held her captive and raped her in a Lake Tahoe cabin and drove her across the state to Orange County, where he let her go.

Back in 2017, Muller was sentenced to 40 years in prison on a federal kidnapping charge. But "full justice was not achieved," said Henry, a chief deputy district attorney.

She said Muller was never held accountable for raping Huskins or terrorizing her boyfriend Aaron Quinn, until now.

"He deserved justice, and Denise Huskins Quinn also deserved justice related to the sexual assault crimes that were committed against her," Henry said.

Attorney Dan Russo, who had previously represented Aaron Quinn (the boyfriend) when police had viewed him with suspicion said, "Muller, I believe, is a psychopath."

Russo said he’s worried if Muller ever gets paroled.

"That’s why I'm appalled at the resolution. But I’ve got to respect my clients. They didn’t want to go through a trial with that lunatic," Russo said.
