A two part series from Criminal, the podcast. Hear directly from these real life victims of a robbery/kidnapping/rape/extortion scheme and how the Vallejo police turned on them in a surreally horrifying twist.
The gist of the story is that in 2015, a couple was awakened in the night, bound, drugged and threatened. The woman, Denise Huskins, was kidnapped, raped and held before being release alive by the kidnapper. Her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, was left behind with instructions to not contact police and that he would soon receive information on how to transfer money for her release. Unfortunately, on the advice of his FBI agent brother, he called the police and things went from absolutely terrible to worse.
They’ve recently published a book about their ordeal titled Victim F and the media continues to (disgustingly, IMO) refer to their story with the clickbaity ‘Gone Girl’ narrative in their headlines. This was no ‘Gone Girl’ story. There are still many questions unanswered.
