THE REAL LIFE GONE GIRL

SOMETIMES THE TRUTH REALLY THAN FICTION IS STRANGER

It was an experience so horrifying you'd struggle to make it up. But after 37-year-old Denise Huskins survived a nightmarish kidnapping, she had a new problem the police didn't believe her.

Her story is now the subject of a hit Netflix documentary American Nightmare. It's been touted as the real-life version of the book and movie, Gone Girl.

Denise, who even looks eerily like the film's star Rosamund Pike, was having issues with her partner Aaron Quinn at the time of the ordeal.

It's one of the reasons he became the prime suspect when on March 23, 2015, Denise was mysteriously kidnapped from her home in Vallejo, California.

Aaron's recount of the abduction seemed farfetched. He relayed to police the couple were woken by a bright light, bound, blindfolded and sedated, with Denise whisked away in the kidnapper's car.
