41: CASE | The 'Gone Girl' Kidnapping

Avery Ross
About this episode
In the early morning hours on March 2015, a California couple Denise Huskins & her boyfriend Aaron Quinn awoke to an intruder standing over their bed in a wetsuit.

Denise was kidnapped and taken hostage for 48 hours. Unexpectedly, the intruder dropped her off in Huntington Beach, CA.

Upon her return, police didn't believe Denise & Aarons account of the crime. Shockingly, the accused them of making the entire thing up. A hoax, like the plot of 'Gone Girl'

But months later, another similar home invasion in California would flip the entire case on its head
