The man who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and sexually assaulting a California woman in a case that became known nationwide as the “Gone Girl” kidnapping has now been charged with other break-ins and assaults from years earlier, prosecutors announced on Monday.
Matthew Muller — who pleaded guilty in 2016 to kidnapping Denise Huskins and in 2022 to sexually assaulting her — has now been charged in connection with two other home invasions from 2009, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office said.
In 2015, Huskins was kidnapped and her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, was a suspect. When Huskins reappeared, the couple was accused of a hoax, and the case set off a media firestorm fueled by suggestions that the case mirrored the book and movie “Gone Girl.”
