Matthew Muller is being charged for the kidnapping, originally believed to be a hoax, of Denise Huskins, according to an FBI report released July 13. 

The FBI report stated Muller, a Harvard-educated former lawyer, was involved in a home invasion on March 23. Aaron Quinn had called Vallejo police and said someone had broken in during the night and drugged him and his girlfriend, Denise Huskins, then stole his car to kidnap Huskins.

The suspected kidnapper requested a ransom of $8,500 for Huskins' safety, prompting dozens of officers to search areas around Vallejo and Northern California. However, Huskins was found later on March 25. She had reportedly called her father and said "they" dropped her off.

According to CBS News, Muller had retrieved Quinn's bank account information from his stolen laptop. Quinn said he was bound and placed on a couch. A while after Muller left, Quinn fell asleep and, when he woke up, was able to free himself and contact police, despite the intruder's warning that cameras were watching him.

He was able to locate his cell phone, which contained a voicemail with the financial demand and instructions to tell those who inquired about his transactions to say the funds were to purchase a ski boat.

The police originally thought the incident was a hoax.

"There is no evidence to support the claims that this was a stranger abduction, or an abduction at all," said Kenny Park, spokesman of the Vallejo Police Department. "Given the facts that have been presented thus far, this event appears to be an orchestrated event and not a kidnapping."

However, on June 5, Alameda County sheriffs responded to a home-invasion robbery. Investigators determined that Muller was involved in that robbery, connecting it to the Huskins incident after searching Muller's home on June 8.

Investigators believe Muller has committed crimes before and is asking the public about possible incidents.
