Episode notes

In this chapter, the speaker recounts the aftermath of their case and how people started questioning their credibility. They discuss the negative online comments, death threats, and the betrayal of friends. They also mention the dismissal of emails claiming responsibility for the kidnapping and the difficulties in being reunited due to being considered suspects.

This episode picks up where 48 Hours, Part 1 left off. We suggest you listen to them in order.

When Aaron Quinn called the Vallejo police to report that his girlfriend Denise Huskins had been kidnapped, and went into the station for questioning, a detective told Aaron that he didn't believe him. When Denise was released after being held captive for about 48 hours, police didn't believe her either. It soon became clear that the police viewed Denise and Aaron as suspects, not victims.

Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn’s book is Victim F.
