Denise Huskins is that chick that got abducted by some weird creep out near San Fransisco and when the police heard the her story, they thought it was a hoax.
Information Timeline
While this timeline shows what happened in an orderly fashion, it does not reveal any of the actual facts involved with the case. It is a boring news account of the wishy-washy minutia that was sensationalized by the media to make the cops look good. Oh yeah, and to make a young couple look like villains.
Monday, March 23
- A 29-year-old Vallejo woman and her live-in boyfriend say kidnappers entered their house in the middle of the night last week, abducted the woman and held her for ransom before releasing her two days later. Police are skeptical.
- At about 2 p.m., Aaron Quinn, 30, calls police to report that his girlfriend has been abducted from their Mare Island home -- in the 500 block of Kirkland Avenue -- in the pre-dawn hours. Quinn's lawyers say he awoke to a bright light in his face, and two kidnappers who bound and drugged him.
- The strangers then take Denise Huskins from the couple's house and demand an $8,500 ransom by noon Wednesday, according to Quinn and his attorney, Dan Russo.
Tuesday, March 24
- A search initiated by police continues, focusing especially on Mare Island. More than 100 search-and-rescue team members comb the Vallejo waterfront.
- Search dogs key in on a certain area of water, and officials use sonar equipment, as well. Divers will come up empty handed.
- Tuesday is when the San Francisco Chronicle -- KCRA 3's Hearst Television content sharing partner -- receives an email from an anonymous person claiming to be holding Huskins.
- The email included an audio file of a woman identifying herself as Huskins.
- The audio file says: "My name is Denise Huskins. I am kidnapped -- otherwise, I'm fine. Earlier today, there was a plane crash in Alps and 158 people died. And one thing that people know about me is that I went to my first concert, me and my mom, to Blink 182 (last word is inaudible)."
- Mike Huskins confirms the voice in the file was his daughter's
Wednesday, March 25
- Denise Huskins turns up in the morning hours in her hometown of Huntington Beach -- about 400 miles away. She calls her father and says she was dropped off at her mother's home, found no one there, and walked 12 blocks to her dad's apartment.
- Hours after Huskins calls her father, Vallejo police reveal they've found no proof of a kidnapping and believe it was a hoax. Quinn's delay in contacting authorities aroused suspicion, police spokesman Kenny Park says.
- A news conference is then held by Vallejo police, saying there's no evidence to support the abduction claims.
Thursday, March 26
- Denise Huskins meets with Vallejo detectives for several hours "with the hope of clearing her name because she is absolutely, unequivocally, 100 percent, positively a victim," her lawyer, Doug Rappaport, says.
- Russo says Quinn is in "terrible shape" after the ordeal and is "exhausted both mentally and physically." Quinn also talks at length with police, Russo said.
- Russo says police question Quinn for 17 hours. He adds, his client has not been in contact with Huskins and is staying with family. "He consented to DNA," Russo says. "He consented to a blood draw."
Friday, March 27
- In a Friday report, Russo says investigators have tested Quinn's blood, but they haven't revealed the results yet.
- Russo declines to release other details about how the alleged kidnapping unfolded, saying he doesn't want to impede on the investigation.
Tuesday, March 31
- The Chronicle receives emails yet again, from people claiming to be the kidnappers -- demanding an apology to Denise Huskins and saying police were wrong to call the incident a hoax.
- The series of emails sent to the newspaper elaborate a plan to kidnap Huskins and force her boyfriend to stay quiet. The kidnapping, however, was a case of mistaken identity and Huskins was let go, according to the emails.
- The emails warn that police have until noon Tuesday -- which has come and passed at this writing -- to apologize to Huskins, or there will be consequences to the department, and specifically to police spokesman Park.
- One lengthy email says the kidnappers used plastic squirt guns with strobe flashlights and laser pointers duct-taped to them to mimic firearms when they broke into Huskins' home.
- The emails say the crew chose $8,500 for the ransom because it's less than $10,000, the amount at which cash withdrawals much be reported to the federal government.
- The Los Angeles Times also reports it received an anonymous email about the case. The sender wrote, "The Mare Island kidnapping was a training mission to test means and methods that would be used on higher net worth targets."
