They didn’t feel safe, and for that reason, we will endeavor to protect their identity for as long as possible as we pursue the prosecution of Muller.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, prosecutors in Santa Clara County also filed two felony charges against Muller for home invasions and sexual assault committed near the Stanford University campus in Palo Alto and Mountain View in 2009. In those cases — in which Muller also faces life in prison — he allegedly broke into women’s homes, bound and drugged them, and either sexually assaulted them or threatened to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller is currently being held in Santa Clara County, where he’s scheduled to make a plea on those charges on Jan. 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities allege \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12020200/gone-girl-kidnapping-victims-advocacy-helps-solve-2009-silicon-valley-attacks-prosecutors-say\">Muller confessed to his various crimes\u003c/a> in signed affidavits and interviews as part of a recent correspondence with Seaside Police Chief Nick Borges, who reached out to Muller after watching the Netflix documentary and inviting Huskins and her husband, Aaron Quinn, to speak at a police training last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 2015, Vallejo police initially rejected claims made by Huskins and Quinn — her boyfriend at the time — that the two had been drugged, bound and blindfolded by masked intruders, dismissing it as a hoax and declining to follow up on any leads, comparing it to the movie \u003cem>Gone Girl\u003c/em>.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12020200,news_12020062\"]But the couple’s claims were validated after a Dublin police detective connected Muller to a similar type of attack at a Dublin home months later. That discovery, in turn, came after authorities raided Muller’s South Lake Tahoe home and found a blonde hair sticking to a pair of blacked-out swim goggles, which Huskins told police her kidnapper had put on her before she was driven away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huskins’ claims that she was then held captive for two days and raped twice were subsequently corroborated in the case that led to Muller’s conviction. The city of Vallejo later settled a lawsuit with Huskins and Quinn for $2.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference Tuesday in Seaside, near Monterey, Huskins said she spoke to one of Muller’s other victims after learning of the newly announced criminal charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She just said, ‘I didn’t know how much I needed this,’” said Huskins, who along with Quinn, has become an advocate for victims’ rights, and been applauded by law enforcement for helping other victims find closure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller also recently confessed to committing his first kidnapping and sexual assault in 1993, when he was 16, authorities said, but declined to provide further details on that investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s two decades of this mindset that he was living in by the time our case came about,” Huskins said, adding investigators found storage units filled with equipment he used “to facilitate terrorism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s something that he’s crafted and perfected over a long period of time, and then now to find out, two weeks after our kidnapping, he attacked again,” she said. “This man had all the markers of the serial predator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

That case received national attention after Vallejo police dismissed the case as an orchestrated hoax, comparing it to the movie \u003cem>Gone Girl\u003c/em>, in which a woman fakes her own abduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Huskins and her now-husband Aaron Quinn have become advocates for crime victims, speaking to law enforcement across the country, \u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/617482/victim-f-by-denise-huskins-and-aaron-quinn-with-nicole-weisensee-egan/\">writing a book\u003c/a> and starring in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.netflix.com/title/81620852\">hit Netflix docuseries, \u003cem>American Nightmare\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, released a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, Quinn and Huskins spoke at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C49S_KevwSV/?hl=en&img_index=1\">training session for police officers\u003c/a> across the state, hosted by Seaside Police Chief Nick Borges, who reached out to the couple after watching the Netflix show. That month, Borges allegedly started corresponding through letters with 47-year-old Muller, who allegedly confessed to unsolved home invasions in Mountain View and Palo Alto in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller, who is serving a 40-year federal prison sentence for kidnapping Huskins, allegedly wrote to Borges in a signed declaration dated May 6 that he developed the “idea to raid a home and rape a woman” in the fall of 2009 while “in a manic state,” according to police reports prosecutors provided to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian King, Deputy Santa Clara County District Attorney in the sexual assault unit, said Huskins and Quinn’s advocacy for crime victims directly contributed to his office charging Muller with the attacks near Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was because of that collaboration between those Vallejo victims and Chief Borges that new evidence was developed, which led to us retesting the DNA,” King said. “That’s how I like to think about this case: It took a situation that was awful in Vallejo, which gave impetus to an effort to train law enforcement, which then led to a new break in this case, which has led to us being able to file charges and get justice for these victims.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email to KQED this week, Borges thanked the hard work of law enforcement agencies, including the El Dorado District Attorney’s Office, which has jurisdiction over South Lake Tahoe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We expect developments in the next several days,” he wrote, declining to comment further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020205\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12020205\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1408507029.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1408507029.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1408507029-800x571.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1408507029-1020x728.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1408507029-160x114.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn (right) walk into a news conference with attorney Doug Rappaport in San Francisco on Sept. 29, 2016. \u003ccite>(Paul Chinn/The San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>The 2009 attacks\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This week, prosecutors charged Muller with two new felonies — both sexual assault and burglary-related — that carry mandatory life imprisonment with the possibility of parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to police reports, the newly filed cases share many details similar to Huskins’ kidnapping, including a suspect dressed in all black entering a woman’s residence, drugging them with Nyquil, and tying up the victims before stating he was going to sexually assault them. In one other case besides Huskins, the attacker gathered bank account numbers, PINs, and email passwords. In both Silicon Valley cases, Muller allegedly gave his victims crime prevention advice, like getting a dog, before leaving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller lived in Menlo Park in 2009 and \u003ca href=\"https://magazine.atavist.com/a-crime-beyond-belief-vallejo-kidnapping-gone-girl-hoax/\">liked to hike the Stanford Dish\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“During that time, he started to go on prowling expeditions near the Stanford campus,” King said. “As part of that, he formed the idea to break in and rape women in the area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first incident on Sept. 29, 2009, Muller allegedly broke into a Mountain View home, where a woman in her 30s — who appeared in the Netflix documentary — was drugged, bound and blindfolded with a pair of swim goggles. The man in black assaulting her said he “had to” rape her, but she was able to persuade him not to. That investigation stalled out in 2011, reports show.[aside postID=news_12020062 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/AP24366030679039-1020x795.jpg']Police had stopped Muller while he was walking in the area four days prior, telling them he was there past midnight because he was a visiting Stanford professor seeing a friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the second Silicon Valley case, Muller allegedly committed a similar break-in and attack at a home in Palo Alto’s College Terrace neighborhood on Oct. 18, 2009. Bound by Velcro straps, a Stanford student convinced her attacker to stop sexually assaulting her. The victim told police she had attended an event Muller organized at Harvard the year prior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palo Alto police named Muller as a suspect in the College Terrace attack five days later. When contacted by police over the phone, Muller allegedly said that “he knew what it was about as he had read the story about the College Terrace incident,” and he would “cooperate with anything” police needed, according to police reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Muller “abruptly” fled to Utah in November 2009, leaving a note for his then-wife that he was “going completely off the grid” as it was “the least extreme thing” he could do to avoid exposing people “to criminal liability,” according to his 2015 plea agreement with federal prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller returned to California soon after and, in 2011, was \u003ca href=\"https://apps.calbar.ca.gov/attorney/Licensee/Detail/275832\">admitted to the California bar\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King said police collected a DNA sample from Muller in 2009, but analysis at the time was inconclusive. Over the next 15 years, the technology improved and a recent and more sensitive DNA test by the Santa Clara County Crime Laboratory of the Velcro straps used to detain the victim in the Palo Alto case “turned up as a match for Mr. Muller,” King said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The ‘Gone Girl’ kidnapping\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The home invasion, kidnapping and rape of Huskins in 2015 was a strange, detailed plot that involved sending letters to a \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> reporter purporting to be “a group of elite criminals who were perfecting their kidnapping-for-ransom tactics” and conducting surveillance on potential victims, according to the Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While several victims in cases Muller has been charged with say they believe there were multiple people involved, authorities found audio files on Muller’s computer of people talking softly to one another, which they believe were played to make it seem like there were more people there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no evidence before us that would lead us to be able to say that there were other people involved,” King said, adding they can’t “say definitively that there were or were not multiple people involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 2015, Muller broke into Quinn’s Mare Island home, where he was asleep with Huskins, and threatened them with a stun gun and a water pistol spray-painted black with a laser pointer attached to it. He bound and drugged them before taking Huskins — blindfolded with blacked-out swim goggles — to South Lake Tahoe, where he raped her twice, claiming he was making a blackmail video his associates wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Quinn was interrogated at the Vallejo Police Department for 18 hours, mainly by Det. Mat Mustard, who told Quinn he didn’t believe his “elaborate” story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m a puzzle-maker, and I put a lot of puzzles together,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.vallejosun.com/what-happened-to-mat-mustard-the-lead-vallejo-detective-in-american-nightmare/\">Mustard told Quinn\u003c/a>, as shown on \u003cem>American Nightmare\u003c/em>. “So now I get out my puzzle pieces, and I start figuring out, ‘Okay, how do I make it so you look like a monster?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two days after the kidnapping, Muller drove Huskins down to her parents’ home in Huntington Beach despite Quinn not paying the $17,000 ransom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huskins didn’t want to speak with Vallejo police. In return, then-Chief Andrew Bidou \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/vallejo-gone-girl-kidnapping-case-denise-huskins-police-misconduct/6339403/\">allegedly told\u003c/a> department spokesperson Lt. Kenny Park to “burn that bitch” at a press conference where Park said Huskins participated in “an orchestrated event and not a kidnapping.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller sent anonymous emails to the \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em> saying that Huskins’ kidnapping was real and chastised police for not believing her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12020204\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1321865676.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1321865676.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1321865676-800x538.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1321865676-1020x686.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1321865676-160x108.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Attorney Thomas Johnson speaks to the media about his client Matthew Muller, the suspect in the Vallejo kidnapping of Denise Huskins, following an appearance by Muller before a Superior Court judge in Pleasanton on Sept. 2, 2015. \u003ccite>(Michael Macor/The San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Muller is arrested\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Muller was finally arrested following a June 2015 home invasion in Dublin where a masked suspect broke into a home, but the father of a 22-year-old woman fended him off. The suspect left a cell phone behind, which Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies traced to Muller’s South Lake Tahoe home, where they found evidence from the Vallejo kidnapping, including a single strand of Huskins’ hair on a pair of blacked-out swim goggles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Muller was taken into custody, Dublin Police Detective Sgt. Misty Carausu was investigating the source of the yet-to-be-identified blonde hair on the goggles and soon learned from \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/detective-who-cracked-vallejo-hoax-kidnap-case-is-a-bulldog-police/82047/\">Palo Alto police\u003c/a> that Muller was a suspect in the 2009 attack there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2015, the FBI obtained an arrest warrant for Muller related to Huskins’ kidnapping, saying in an announcement that “Muller may have committed similar crimes elsewhere.” Palo Alto and Mountain View police were \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Vallejo-kidnap-suspect-s-journey-from-Harvard-6382969.php\">still looking at Muller for those attacks\u003c/a>, as middle-of-the-night home invasions where victims are restrained and blindfolded are rare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huskins and Quinn sued the city of Vallejo in 2016 for defamation, saying “VPD took its cues from Hollywood” by spreading its \u003cem>Gone Girl\u003c/em> theory instead of investigating the crime. The city settled the lawsuit for $2.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/usao-edca/pr/vallejo-kidnapping-defendant-pleads-guilty\">pleaded guilty to a federal kidnapping charge\u003c/a> and was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 2017. The Mountain View and Palo Alto attacks were mentioned in his plea agreement with federal prosecutors. So was another home invasion attack in Palo Alto in 2012, but DNA on “bump keys” — or those made to open any door by the same manufacturer — left at the scene “was not related to Muller,” although detectives at the time said “Muller may be responsible for this incident,” according to reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2022, after being found competent to stand trial, Muller pleaded no-contest in Solano County to charges including rape, robbery, kidnapping and false imprisonment and was \u003ca href=\"https://www.ktvu.com/news/matthew-muller-sentenced-for-raping-woman-he-kidnapped-in-vallejo-case-once-deemed-hoax\">sentenced to 31 years\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Muller confessed to being involved in the 2009 attacks, Seaside Police’s Borges contacted Palo Alto police, who had the 2009 DNA samples retested, something King said may not have happened if it weren’t for Borges’ relationship with Quinn and Huskins and their training with law enforcement about how to treat victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those trainings were aimed with the goal of making sure what happened to those victims in Vallejo never happens again,” King said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller allegedly wrote to Borges that his willingness to cooperate wasn’t from his newfound remorse or being a born-again Christian “but instead of a common goal of [protecting] victims and strengthening laws for future potential victims.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borges told Palo Alto police that he believed that Muller would talk with detectives about his past crimes, as he “was remorseful and wants to confess [to] all his past crimes,” according to police reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller was extradited this week from federal prison in Tucson, Arizona, to make his first court appearance on Monday in Santa Clara County, where he is set to remain while facing the new charges.

That month, Borges allegedly started corresponding through letters with 47-year-old Muller, who allegedly confessed to unsolved home invasions in Mountain View and Palo Alto in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller, who is serving a 40-year federal prison sentence for kidnapping Huskins, allegedly wrote to Borges in a signed declaration dated May 6 that he developed the “idea to raid a home and rape a woman” in the fall of 2009 while “in a manic state,” according to police reports prosecutors provided to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian King, Deputy Santa Clara County District Attorney in the sexual assault unit, said Huskins and Quinn’s advocacy for crime victims directly contributed to his office charging Muller with the attacks near Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was because of that collaboration between those Vallejo victims and Chief Borges that new evidence was developed, which led to us retesting the DNA,” King said. “That’s how I like to think about this case: It took a situation that was awful in Vallejo, which gave impetus to an effort to train law enforcement, which then led to a new break in this case, which has led to us being able to file charges and get justice for these victims.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email to KQED this week, Borges thanked the hard work of law enforcement agencies, including the El Dorado District Attorney’s Office, which has jurisdiction over South Lake Tahoe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We expect developments in the next several days,” he wrote, declining to comment further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12020205\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12020205\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1408507029.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1408507029.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1408507029-800x571.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1408507029-1020x728.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/GettyImages-1408507029-160x114.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn (right) walk into a news conference with attorney Doug Rappaport in San Francisco on Sept. 29, 2016. \u003ccite>(Paul Chinn/The San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>The 2009 attacks\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This week, prosecutors charged Muller with two new felonies — both sexual assault and burglary-related — that carry mandatory life imprisonment with the possibility of parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to police reports, the newly filed cases share many details similar to Huskins’ kidnapping, including a suspect dressed in all black entering a woman’s residence, drugging them with Nyquil, and tying up the victims before stating he was going to sexually assault them. In one other case besides Huskins, the attacker gathered bank account numbers, PINs, and email passwords.

Bound by Velcro straps, a Stanford student convinced her attacker to stop sexually assaulting her. The victim told police she had attended an event Muller organized at Harvard the year prior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palo Alto police named Muller as a suspect in the College Terrace attack five days later. When contacted by police over the phone, Muller allegedly said that “he knew what it was about as he had read the story about the College Terrace incident,” and he would “cooperate with anything” police needed, according to police reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Muller “abruptly” fled to Utah in November 2009, leaving a note for his then-wife that he was “going completely off the grid” as it was “the least extreme thing” he could do to avoid exposing people “to criminal liability,” according to his 2015 plea agreement with federal prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller returned to California soon after and, in 2011, was \u003ca href=\"https://apps.calbar.ca.gov/attorney/Licensee/Detail/275832\">admitted to the California bar\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King said police collected a DNA sample from Muller in 2009, but analysis at the time was inconclusive. Over the next 15 years, the technology improved and a recent and more sensitive DNA test by the Santa Clara County Crime Laboratory of the Velcro straps used to detain the victim in the Palo Alto case “turned up as a match for Mr. Muller,” King said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The ‘Gone Girl’ kidnapping\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The home invasion, kidnapping and rape of Huskins in 2015 was a strange, detailed plot that involved sending letters to a \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> reporter purporting to be “a group of elite criminals who were perfecting their kidnapping-for-ransom tactics” and conducting surveillance on potential victims, according to the Department of Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While several victims in cases Muller has been charged with say they believe there were multiple people involved, authorities found audio files on Muller’s computer of people talking softly to one another, which they believe were played to make it seem like there were more people there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no evidence before us that would lead us to be able to say that there were other people involved,” King said, adding they can’t “say definitively that there were or were not multiple people involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 2015, Muller broke into Quinn’s Mare Island home, where he was asleep with Huskins, and threatened them with a stun gun and a water pistol spray-painted black with a laser pointer attached to it. He bound and drugged them before taking Huskins — blindfolded with blacked-out swim goggles — to South Lake Tahoe, where he raped her twice, claiming he was making a blackmail video his associates wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Quinn was interrogated at the Vallejo Police Department for 18 hours, mainly by Det. Mat Mustard, who told Quinn he didn’t believe his “elaborate” story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m a puzzle-maker, and I put a lot of puzzles together,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.vallejosun.com/what-happened-to-mat-mustard-the-lead-vallejo-detective-in-american-nightmare/\">Mustard told Quinn\u003c/a>, as shown on \u003cem>American Nightmare\u003c/em>. “So now I get out my puzzle pieces, and I start figuring out, ‘Okay, how do I make it so you look like a monster?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two days after the kidnapping, Muller drove Huskins down to her parents’ home in Huntington Beach despite Quinn not paying the $17,000 ransom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huskins didn’t want to speak with Vallejo police. In return, then-Chief Andrew Bidou \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/vallejo-gone-girl-kidnapping-case-denise-huskins-police-misconduct/6339403/\">allegedly told\u003c/a> department spokesperson Lt.

The suspect left a cell phone behind, which Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies traced to Muller’s South Lake Tahoe home, where they found evidence from the Vallejo kidnapping, including a single strand of Huskins’ hair on a pair of blacked-out swim goggles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Muller was taken into custody, Dublin Police Detective Sgt. Misty Carausu was investigating the source of the yet-to-be-identified blonde hair on the goggles and soon learned from \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/detective-who-cracked-vallejo-hoax-kidnap-case-is-a-bulldog-police/82047/\">Palo Alto police\u003c/a> that Muller was a suspect in the 2009 attack there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2015, the FBI obtained an arrest warrant for Muller related to Huskins’ kidnapping, saying in an announcement that “Muller may have committed similar crimes elsewhere.” Palo Alto and Mountain View police were \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Vallejo-kidnap-suspect-s-journey-from-Harvard-6382969.php\">still looking at Muller for those attacks\u003c/a>, as middle-of-the-night home invasions where victims are restrained and blindfolded are rare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huskins and Quinn sued the city of Vallejo in 2016 for defamation, saying “VPD took its cues from Hollywood” by spreading its \u003cem>Gone Girl\u003c/em> theory instead of investigating the crime. The city settled the lawsuit for $2.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/usao-edca/pr/vallejo-kidnapping-defendant-pleads-guilty\">pleaded guilty to a federal kidnapping charge\u003c/a> and was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 2017. The Mountain View and Palo Alto attacks were mentioned in his plea agreement with federal prosecutors. So was another home invasion attack in Palo Alto in 2012, but DNA on “bump keys” — or those made to open any door by the same manufacturer — left at the scene “was not related to Muller,” although detectives at the time said “Muller may be responsible for this incident,” according to reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2022, after being found competent to stand trial, Muller pleaded no-contest in Solano County to charges including rape, robbery, kidnapping and false imprisonment and was \u003ca href=\"https://www.ktvu.com/news/matthew-muller-sentenced-for-raping-woman-he-kidnapped-in-vallejo-case-once-deemed-hoax\">sentenced to 31 years\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Muller confessed to being involved in the 2009 attacks, Seaside Police’s Borges contacted Palo Alto police, who had the 2009 DNA samples retested, something King said may not have happened if it weren’t for Borges’ relationship with Quinn and Huskins and their training with law enforcement about how to treat victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those trainings were aimed with the goal of making sure what happened to those victims in Vallejo never happens again,” King said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller allegedly wrote to Borges that his willingness to cooperate wasn’t from his newfound remorse or being a born-again Christian “but instead of a common goal of [protecting] victims and strengthening laws for future potential victims.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Borges told Palo Alto police that he believed that Muller would talk with detectives about his past crimes, as he “was remorseful and wants to confess [to] all his past crimes,” according to police reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muller was extradited this week from federal prison in Tucson, Arizona, to make his first court appearance on Monday in Santa Clara County, where he is set to remain while facing the new charges. His next court date is set for Jan. 17, when he will be able to enter a plea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Officers could not find the bicyclist, believed to be a Latino man in his 20s, but said they would like to speak with him about the incident, which is being considered an aggravated assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using video footage and other evidence, police hours later believed they had identified the driver as a security guard posted in front of the Dior store, Lazar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 1:30 a.m. Friday, police approached the suspect outside the store and shot him “after an attempt to take the suspect into custody was unsuccessful,” Lazar told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12018833 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFPD-1020x765.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The details of the shooting “are still being figured out,” Lazar said. “We’re still looking at all the evidence.

The driver, who appeared to be chasing a person on a bicycle, struck and injured an 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old girl who were coming out of a Chipotle restaurant, Lazar said.

Those who did were often sent to the solitary housing unit or lost privileges, like those taken from Baker.

If you heard the keys coming, there would be your heart — that kind of a heart attack feeling — and just fear because you’re not safe,” Baker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, shortly after the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11978878/fbi-raids-dublin-womens-prison-plagued-by-sexual-abuse\">FBI raided the prison\u003c/a>, the BOP \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11982014/judge-chooses-top-pick-for-special-master-to-oversee-womens-prison-following-rampant-abuse\">appointed a special master\u003c/a> to oversee \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998682/special-master-slams-conditions-at-fci-dublin-in-report\">operational changes\u003c/a>.

There have been reports that some of the women transferred have \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11990979/biden-administration-seeks-to-dismiss-lawsuit-over-bay-area-womens-prison-abuses\">faced similar abuse\u003c/a>, and many aren’t receiving the resources they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to have a safe place to try to begin to heal, and inside the confines of a prison like that, you’re not safe,” Baker told KQED. “The women who went to other prisons when the facility was closed in April, they’re still suffering sexual trauma, and they don’t have a safe place to try to heal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that the settlement agreement reached last week on behalf of nearly 500 incarcerated women who were transferred from FCI Dublin in April includes a two-year consent decree meant to protect and oversee their care. That will be subject to approval by a judge in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the coming months, attorney Pride expects that 50 to 100 more civil cases will be filed against the BOP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The bottom line is that when we’ve accepted responsibility for our crimes, accepted plea agreements, the punishment does not include rape and sexual assault within the prison confines,” Baker said. “We weren’t sentenced to that particular punishment, and nobody should have to experience that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/dcronin\">\u003cem>Dana Cronin\u003c/em>\u003c/a> \u003cem>contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

There have been reports that some of the women transferred have \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11990979/biden-administration-seeks-to-dismiss-lawsuit-over-bay-area-womens-prison-abuses\">faced similar abuse\u003c/a>, and many aren’t receiving the resources they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to have a safe place to try to begin to heal, and inside the confines of a prison like that, you’re not safe,” Baker told KQED. “The women who went to other prisons when the facility was closed in April, they’re still suffering sexual trauma, and they don’t have a safe place to try to heal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that the settlement agreement reached last week on behalf of nearly 500 incarcerated women who were transferred from FCI Dublin in April includes a two-year consent decree meant to protect and oversee their care. That will be subject to approval by a judge in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the coming months, attorney Pride expects that 50 to 100 more civil cases will be filed against the BOP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The bottom line is that when we’ve accepted responsibility for our crimes, accepted plea agreements, the punishment does not include rape and sexual assault within the prison confines,” Baker said. “We weren’t sentenced to that particular punishment, and nobody should have to experience that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/dcronin\">\u003cem>Dana Cronin\u003c/em>\u003c/a> \u003cem>contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
