Matthew Muller, serving a 40-year sentence for the 2015 kidnapping of Denise Huskins, pleaded guilty on Friday to charges related to two home invasion sexual assaults in Mountain View and Palo Alto dating back to 2008. The case gained renewed attention due to the 2024 Netflix documentary 'American Nightmare' which detailed Huskins' kidnapping and criticized the Vallejo police's handling of the investigation. Muller is scheduled to be sentenced for the new charges on February 21.
Matthew Muller , who is currently serving a 40-year sentence for the kidnapping of Denise Huskins , pled guilty Friday in Santa Clara County court to new charges stemming from a pair of home invasion sexual assault s. Muller, a Sacramento-area native, was convicted in the kidnapping of Huskins in Vallejo, California, in 2015. He's serving his sentence in Arizona for rape and false imprisonment in what police initially thought was a hoax.
The Netflix documentary 'American Nightmare' detailed the case, bringing renewed interest to it in 2024. The documentary led to criticism of Vallejo police for their handling of the kidnapping. In December, the Santa Clara County district attorney brought forth new charges, claiming Muller broke into the homes of women in Mountain View and Palo Alto 15 years ago and was suspected of medicating and then sexually assaulting both women.
