California Woman Suspected of Kidnapping Hoax
A woman from Vallejo, California has gone missing for the second time this week. The first time her boyfriend called the police and said she was forcibly taken from his home and soon after a ransom demand had been sent to him. The police were skeptical but they soon brought in the FBI to help with the case. The missing woman Denise Huskins showed up at her mother’s home two days later. She had also contacted her father by phone and left a voicemail detailing her whereabouts.
Police and the FBI during those two days had come to think the boyfriend’s story was not very believable. When Ms. Huskins reappeared they were very interested to speak with her. They had already been frustrated in trying to prove what they were being told by her boyfriend who by now is being thought of mare as an accomplice to an elaborate hoax. A lot of police time was spent with a search being conducted throughout the neighborhood and other activities that seem to have all been a big waste of time.
The woman has again disappeared. She never boarded a plane that was to take her to an interview with the FBI. Police have not been able to contact others in her family either. There is word that the victim has retained an attorney. That is a good thing because either way she will need an informed lawyer to handle any fallout from her disappearance whether the story is true or not.
A California defense attorney will have to use all their skills to get the best result for this client. The police will not take the wasted time and effort too kindly. If she is charged the best chance for making her side of the story heard will be with the help of a California defense attorney with trial experience.
