A remarkable story unfolds as Denise Huskins, once questioned after being a victim of a home invasion and kidnapping, turns her traumatic experience into a powerful tool for change within law enforcement.
Featured in the Netflix docuseries “American Nightmare,” Huskins and her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, faced unreal skepticism following a brutal incident in 2015, where Matthew Muller invaded their home, assaulted Huskins, and abducted her for two days. Initially branded as liars, their narrative took a turn after they challenged the assumptions of law enforcement and filed a lawsuit, ultimately reaching a $2.5 million settlement in 2018.
Now, Huskins is working with police agencies, sharing insights on effective, science-based interviewing techniques to improve their interactions with victims. In a recent podcast, “Clues,” hosted by PAVE Studios, she expressed a newfound sense of hope in collaborating with officers, despite ongoing resistance. The support and apologies from some former skeptics have only fueled her determination.
By transforming her pain into advocacy, Huskins is fostering awareness and education around the importance of proper victim treatment in investigations. This endeavor reflects her belief in correcting the narrative about her case and shedding light on the larger issues surrounding victims of violent crimes.
