'American Nightmare' Docuseries Reignites Scrutiny of 2015 Huskins Kidnapping Case

The series, featuring interviews with Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn, criticizes the handling of the case by Vallejo police and the FBI.

Netflix's 'American Nightmare' docuseries, which explores the 2015 kidnapping of Denise Huskins and the botched response by Vallejo police, has sparked renewed attention to the case.
The series features interviews with Huskins and her now-husband, Aaron Quinn, who narrate the events of the abduction and criticize the local law enforcement and the FBI for their handling of the case.
Vallejo police initially dismissed the kidnapping as a hoax, leading to public scrutiny and derogatory social media posts about Huskins.
Matthew Muller, a disbarred Harvard-educated attorney, was eventually identified as the main suspect and was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the kidnapping and two counts of forcible rape of Huskins.
Huskins and Quinn, who have since married and have two children, settled a defamation lawsuit with the city of Vallejo for $2.5 million in 2018.
