Real Life Gone Girl? From Crime Victims to Suspects


Listen Later

It's been six years since Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn were awakened in the middle of the night, told they were being robbed, and then were zip-tied and blinded with swim goggles covered in duct tape. Huskins was taken from the home and kidnapped, while Quinn was sedated. The story that follows has been called a real life "Gone Girl" case, and sounds so unbelievable that if it were a novel, readers would have a hard time believing it was true. Huskins and Quinn have had to be silent for years on their experience due to legal reasons, but the couple is now ready and able to open up and share all the details.    Jonathan talks with the couple from their Bay Area home as they open up about the night of the abduction, the brutal and at times soul crushing nature of their interrogation, and how they still found one of the perpetrators, Matthew Muller, despite most of the media and their police calling the case a hoax. Denise and Aaron talk about the writing process behind their new book Victim F: From Crime Victims to Suspects to Survivors, co-written with investigative journalist Nicole Weisensee Egan, and how it's helping them heal and move forward to focus on family and helping protect others from revictimization.
