Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn’s lives were turned upside down when Matthew Muller broke into their home on March 22, 2015, and kidnapped Denise. Their story is explored in the new Netflix docuseries American Nightmare. When Aaron awoke after being drugged by Matthew, he went to the Vallejo police to explain what happened. Instead of believing Aaron’s claim that Denise had been kidnapped, police assumed that Aaron had something to do with Denise’s disappearance.
Denise was held captive by Matthew in South Lake Tahoe and raped twice. When Denise resurfaced after being released by Matthew, police still didn’t believe her story and assumed it was all a hoax. It wasn’t until Matthew got arrested for another home invasion that there was a break in Denise’s case.

He was sentenced to 40 years on a federal kidnapping charge and then got 31 additional years for two counts of forcible rape and other charges. But what happened to Denise and Aaron? Are they still together? Let’s break down where they are today.
