A California woman and her boyfriend have filed a claim against the City of Vallejo after members of the police department called her disappearance last March a hoax.
As we previously reported, Denise Huskins was reported missing by her boyfriend in Northern California and mysteriously surfaced hundreds of miles away in Southern California two days later.
Huskins’ boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, told law enforcement that kidnappers broke into the couple’s home, drugged him and took his girlfriend, but when she turned up safe police called the whole thing a hoax. Officials said that they had been sent on a “wild goose chase.”
The story doesn’t end there though. It took another odd turn on Friday when as NBC News noted, Huskins and Quinn filed a claim for "false and unfair accusations,” alleging that police "waged a vicious and shocking attack on two victims of a terrifying home invasion, kidnapping and rape."
Authorities have previously said that they found no evidence to support Huskins’ claims that she was abducted and being held for ransom. However, in June, a Harvard-educated attorney named Matthew Muller, 38, was arrested and charged in connection with the kidnapping. His lawyer says he plans to plead not guilty.
Vallejo has six months to respond to the claim filed.
