Matthew Muller Faces New Kidnapping Charges

Matthew Muller, who is currently serving a 40-year sentence for the 2015 kidnapping and rape of Denise Huskins in Vallejo, California, faces new charges linked to an unreported kidnapping and ransom case from the same year in San Ramon. The Contra Costa District Attorney's Office has filed a felony complaint against Muller, alleging he unlawfully held two men and one woman for ransom, demanding that one withdraw tens of thousands of dollars. This information emerged during communications between Muller and law enforcement, where he confessed to multiple crimes across Northern California. Despite the notoriety of the Huskins case, law enforcement initially dismissed it as a hoax, leading to a lack of investigation into Muller's other alleged crimes. The Netflix documentary 'American Nightmare' has reignited interest in the case, prompting further investigations into Muller's past actions. Prosecutors believe Muller's criminal behavior may extend beyond what has been uncovered so far.
