After breaking into her home and taking her hostage while leaving her boyfriend tied up, Muller assaulted her repeatedly before releasing her.

Matthew Muller, a Harvard-trained lawyer and former marine, was sentenced to life without parole for a 2015 kidnapping incident that involved holding three victims for ransom and multiple sexual assaults.
The Vallejo police initially dismissed Denise Huskins' kidnapping as a hoax, treating her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, like a suspect instead of recognizing them as victims of a serious crime.
Muller has confessed to a series of similar crimes extending back to 1993, linking him to numerous abductions and assaults that reveal a chilling pattern of premeditated violence.
The incident led to the publication of a book named 'Victim-F' and a Netflix series, 'American Nightmare,' which recount Huskins and Quinn's harrowing experience.
