The Federal Bureau of Investigation charged the 38-year-old with kidnapping and extortion on June 29 and is now searching for other potential victims. The one-page complaint and accompanying 56-page affidavit were unsealed today.

Quinn had told Vallejo police officials that the two were forcibly drugged on March 23, after which Huskins was taken to an unknown location in Quinn’s vehicle by the kidnapper, CNN reported.

Two days later, Huskins turned up in Huntington Beach, where she said her kidnappers had dropped her off. The ransom, Quinn’s attorneys said, was never paid.

FBI Special Agent Jason Walter revealed in the affidavit that recently discovered evidence suggests that Muller was indeed involved in the two-day March kidnapping of Huskins, as well as a similar case that occurred in June, according to The Associated Press.

Alameda County Sheriff’s Office detectives found Muller as they investigated a June 5 home invasion burglary in Dublin, which was similar to the Vallejo kidnapping 10 weeks earlier.

“Nearly four months ago, we told you that Denise Huskins was right”, her attorney said.

Matthew Muller, 38, was arrested in South Lake Tahoe following a home invasion robbery with similarities to the alleged kidnapping of Denise Huskins, 29. He said he suffered from psychosis and in 2008 was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, according to the affidavit.

Muller had been admitted to the California Bar in 2011, but was disbarred in 2015, according to the affidavit. He told investigators the thieves then kidnapped Huskins and stole his auto. The car’s navigation system had logged an address in Huntington Beach – Huskins’ hometown, where she reappeared.

The letter described why the group asked for $8,500 in ransom.

Muller’s license was suspended in 2013 for failing to pay annual dues, records show. He was transported to a hospital in South Lake Tahoe.

Her lawyer was equally vocal in her defense: “She’s distraught, like any woman would respond when they’re a victim of a violent assault and then revictimized by officers who were quick to judge”, said Douglas Rappaport, a San Francisco-based lawyer, who said his client had lived through a horrific ordeal over several days. The women were not injured, police said. The incident was at one time called an “orchestrated event and not a kidnapping” by investigators.

Based on the FBI’s descriptions of the kidnapping – which closely matches the account given by Huskins and Quinn – a man and woman had fallen asleep in their master bedroom in Vallejo.

Attorney Daniel Russo says Vallejo Police detectives rushed to judgment. “The individual or individuals who committed this offense were at liberty to continue on their crime spree, and in fact, did”.

During that investigation, police found a similar case had happened shortly before in Mountain View.

Huskins and Quinn remained adamant the case was not a hoax. “Go out, find out if there’s other guys, get them in custody as soon as possible”, and make sure next time they think before they talk, Russo said. His attorney, Thomas Johnson, said in a statement he will plead not guilty to the kidnapping charges.

The FBI said the investigation is ongoing, however Vallejo Police Department refused to comment.
