When you're 19, you think you know where you're going to end up, but then life has a way of taking its own
00:00:11
turns. Back in 1993, this young couple was camping. In the middle of the night, we were
00:00:21
awakened to someone hitting the back of our tent. They were ordered out of their tent by a
00:00:26
stranger with a gun. A towel was put over my head, and my hands and feet were tied up, and then my
00:00:32
boyfriend was tied up. The suspect then carried the female away. He brought her down to this bridge?
00:00:40
>> Yes. You were fighting him as best you could. Yeah. I was trying to squirm away, and then I
00:00:47
was actually assaulted. In the middle of what he was trying to do, he said that he saw a light, and said he
00:00:56
had to go. My boyfriend got me untied. We called the police. I told them what happened, and it very
00:01:04
much seemed like they maybe didn't believe me. I reached out to them many times trying
00:01:11
to find out, "Have you guys found anything? You know, do you know who did this?" And nothing.
00:01:17
She's worried for the last 30-plus years that he was out there, and he was going
00:01:22
to return. In March of 2015, there was this really high-profile kidnapping coming out of
00:01:31
Vallejo, California. Denise Huskins went missing from her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn's home.
00:01:38
Kidnappers stormed into Quinn's Vallejo house, bound and drugged him. We could hear what sounded like other
00:01:44
people downstairs. I was told that I was going to be taken. I'm told that there was a ransom demand
00:01:51
to get Denise back. For the next 48 hours, I was held captive and continuously drugged, and I
00:01:59
was raped twice. To my surprise, in the middle of the night, he woke me up and said that he
00:02:07
was going to release me. Relief and joy after Denise Huskins arrived home in Southern California.
00:02:13
I get my life back, only to have it all completely blown apart by the false accusations of law enforcement. Vallejo
00:02:22
police believed Denise Huskins and her boyfriend staged assault, sending their department on a wild and expensive goose
00:02:28
chase. Things like this never happen. So, therefore, we can't believe you. This was a massive story. For months,
00:02:37
the world believed that this was a hoax, and then suddenly there's another attack, and that's what finally leads to
00:02:43
an arrest. He was a Marine, then a Harvard law student, then a practicing attorney. Now, Matthew Muller is accused
00:02:51
of being a monster. Our hope was, now that one person's caught, they would continue to
00:02:56
investigate. There were still so many questions that were left unanswered. Was anyone else involved? And what other
00:03:04
victims are still out there? My name is Nick Borges. I did not investigate this case, but I
00:03:13
wanted to give Denise and Aaron answers. I told them, "I've always believed you guys, and words are not enough. I'm an
00:03:20
action guy, so I started writing letters to Matthew Muller." "Dear Mr. Muller, I
00:03:25
have followed and come to learn quite a bit about the Vallejo case involving Ms.
00:03:29
Huskins and Mr. Quinn." He ended up responding. This is incredible. I did not expect him
00:03:36
to start confessing.
