The death of Denise Huskins was a great pain to many, as many wondered who his killer would be.
In 2015 Matthew Muller shocked the world, who is reported to be a brilliant but mentally ill guy who went untreated, and whose paranoia drove him to plan intricate home invasion heists.
Huskins went missing in March 2015, his own bizarre “manifesto,” which he delivered to the San Francisco Chronicle, investigators jumped to the early conclusion that it was all a fabrication concocted by Huskins and/or her partner for attention.
The suspect, Matthew Muller, was a Harvard-educated lawyer who was out on Mare Island, near Vallejo, performing “practice” operations for bigger crimes, was actually the culprit of the crime.
Matthew Muller in fact was the one behind the kidnapping and raping of Denise Huskins. Even though he initially spiraled the case to be considered a hoax, the truth later came out and he was found guilty.
Authorities said a guy kidnapped and raped a lady in Northern California in a peculiar incident that police initially mistook for a hoax.
She was taken from her home in what police initially thought was a prank for grabbing the attention of her boyfriend.
Matthew Muller was sentenced in Solano County Superior Court after pleading no contest to two charges of forced rape of Denise Huskins, who was pulled from her Vallejo house in 2015.
Muller is already serving a 40-year term for federal crimes. Now, 31 more years will be added to his punishment book.
Matthew Muller was a Harvard-educated lawyer, proving once again that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
Muller was sentenced to 31 years in a state prison in March 2022. He will serve this term simultaneously with the 40-year sentence he obtained in September 2016 in a federal prosecution against him.
Muller pleaded “no contest to two charges of forceful rape of Denise Huskins” during the state’s recent trial in Solano County Superior Court. He also admitted to “Robbery of an inhabited dwelling, domestic burglary, and false detention,”.
The state filed charges in March 2018, but the trial was postponed because Muller was taken to Napa State Hospital and ordered to take antipsychotic medication until he was declared mentally competent to stand trial.
He is currently serving his trial and is also subjected to bipolar treatment in a mental hospital.
Matthew Muller has kept his wife’s identity a closely guarded secret.
It is said that he has a family consisting of a wife and two children, however, none of the details have been made known to the public. There were a few sightings of his wife during his case hearing, but the identity was not disclosed there too.
Little about him is known, but it was mentioned somewhere that he had been living with his wife and children in their house in California before the incident occurred.
