Three years after Denise’s ordeal, Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn got married on September 29, 2018. In the same year, they won their lawsuit against the Vallejo city police and received a $2.5 million settlement, as revealed in Netflix's American Nightmare. Despite their triumph, the police refused to issue a public apology to the couple for their trouble for six years after the ordeal.

Less than two years after their marriage, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Olivia, in March 2020. They proceeded to have another daughter in 2022. As mentioned before, Denise told American Nightmare that she felt her family was complete and that she wanted her daughters to know their value. Quinn, on the other hand, is supportive of the women in his life and wants his daughters to turn out like their mother.

The couple have also come out with a book in 2022, detailing their ordeal. They have co-authored the book with Nicole Weisensee Egan, a former senior writer at PEOPLE.

What is the American Nightmare case of Denise Huskins?

As presented in the Netflix docuseries American Nightmare, Denise Huskins faced an ordeal similar to the Gillian Flynn book Gone Girl and the movie based on it, released in 2014, a year before Denise’s kidnapping.

When Denise went missing in March 2015, Aaron was late in raising the alarm. Besides, the police found his description of the kidnapping too sensational to believe. Two days later, when Denise returned, she was dazed and terrified to report. However, when she did, the authorities found the case very similar to the Gone Girl movie. They believed that the couple was trying to draw attention by staging the incident.

The other thing that complicated Denise’s case with the Vallejo police was the statements from Aaron’s ex-fiancée, Andrea Roberts. Roberts was engaged to Aaron before he got together with Denise. However, she claimed that he was interested in getting back with her.

It was revealed in the documentary that Denise had indeed read some of the messages that Aaron had written to Andrea. Believing that their relationship was falling apart, Denise met Aaron the day before her kidnapping.

As she told in American Nightmare, Denise remembered the kidnapper telling her how she looked similar to Andrea and that she was to be the target. However, the culprit, Matthew Muller, has not disclosed why he wanted to target Andrea.

Muller was caught when he left his wallet while fleeing the scene of another similar incident. After getting caught, he pleaded guilty to Denise’s abduction and r*pe. While he was charged with kidnapping, r*pe, and false imprisonment of Denise under federal and state courts, Denise and Aaron filed a defamation lawsuit against the Vallejo Police Department in 2016.

Denise and Aaron continue to live with their daughters in California, as does Andrea. However, the police department and Andrea Roberts did not participate in the documentary series.
