Matthew Muller, the convicted kidnapper of Denise Huskins in the notorious ‘Gone Girl’ kidnapping case, has confessed to committing additional crimes against women across the San Francisco Bay Area before the Huskins incident. His shocking revelations were detailed in court documents, according to a report by KRON4.

Muller, 47, who is currently serving a prison sentence, admitted to these crimes in letters he sent from prison in 2024. The letters, reviewed by the Palo Alto Police Department and filed in Santa Clara County court, reveal Muller’s involvement in targeting several women. He also provided details about his motivations and methods, shedding light on a series of crimes that had previously remained unsolved.

Denise Huskins’ 2015 kidnapping gained widespread attention due to its initial dismissal by law enforcement as a hoax, a perception fueled by the bizarre circumstances of the case. Muller later pleaded guilty to her abduction and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. His confession to additional crimes has now reopened discussions about his criminal history and the extent of his actions.

Matthew Muller Faces New Charges

Muller, currently serving 40 years for the 2015 kidnapping of Denise Huskins, has been linked to two earlier assaults in 2009 through DNA evidence. In September 2009, Muller allegedly attacked a Mountain View woman, forcing her to drink a medicated beverage and tying her up before she convinced him to stop. Weeks later, he reportedly committed a similar assault on a Palo Alto woman, forcing her to drink Nyquil and tying her up, but again halted his attack after persuasion. Muller’s actions have now led to additional charges that could result in life imprisonment.

Muller was featured in the Netflix documentary American Nightmare, which detailed his 2015 kidnapping of Denise Huskins. Muller abducted Huskins from her Vallejo home, holding her for two days in his South Lake Tahoe cabin before releasing her in Southern California. Vallejo police initially accused Huskins of staging her own kidnapping as a ‘Gone Girl”-style hoax, a claim later proven false.
