Netflix has a wild new true crime about a kidnap police claimed was a hoax coming this month

In March 2015, Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn said they were awoken in the night by someone inside their house. Denise was kidnapped by men who were said to be dressed in scuba suites, who had bound and tied her and her boyfriend and forced them into a closet.

Denise and Aaron said they were drugged and blindfolded, and told the invaders were part of a well-organised, highly-trained group that collected debt. When Denise was taken, it was believed the plan had been for the group to return her after Aaron paid a ransom. Denise said she was taken to a remote location and sexually assaulted before being returned two days later.

However, police didn’t believe the story. Instead, they believed the victims were in fact suspects. In a press conference, police said the story didn’t make sense, and the case was dubbed “Gone Girl” in real life. It was claimed the couple’s recounting of the events was too far-fetched for anyone to believe.

The Netflix synopsis for the show reads: “After a home invasion and abduction, a young couple’s recounting of the events is too far fetched for the police to believe. Why did the victims seem so calm? Was it all a hoax?

“From the filmmakers behind The Tinder Swindler, this three-part docuseries unravels the consequences of our cultural rush to judgment, and the damage done when law enforcement decides the truth can’t possibly be true.”
