Surprisingly, Denise had escaped, and she came home the next morning.

The case attracted the attention of national media.

However, she had to undergo extensive media criticism and accusations of staging the whole ordeal on top of all those issues.

Misty Carausu, a detective who was working in another town subtly observed the similarities between Huskins’ case.

The investigation of Carausu linked the facts to Matthew Muller.
