"Netflix Documentary Exonerates California Couple in Alleged Kidnapping Hoax"

A California couple, Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn, were vindicated after being accused of staging their own kidnapping, reminiscent of the movie "Gone Girl." The Vallejo Police Department initially dismissed their 2015 abduction as an orchestrated event, leading to months of public scrutiny. However, their attacker, Matthew Muller, was eventually captured, and evidence linked him to the crime. He pleaded guilty to federal kidnapping and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Despite the ordeal, the couple married in 2018, released a book about their experience, and welcomed daughters in 2020 and 2022.
