Currently at the top of Netflix’s audiences, this series tells an incredible news story that captivates the streaming platform’s subscribers.
After The Tinder Scammer, a new documentary inspired by an incredible but true news story fascinates Netflix subscribers. This three-episode mini-series was put online on January 17, 2024 and was a hit on the streaming platform, taking over, in a few days, at the top of the site’s series audiences. Internet users are captivated by this crazy story told in just three episodes (and less than three hours).
In The kidnapped truth: from dream to American nightmare, Netflix takes subscribers back into the story of Aaron Quinn and Denise Huskins. In 2015, the first reported the disappearance of his girlfriend when men broke into their home and presumably kidnapped her.
In the first hours following the kidnapping, Aaron Quinn is quickly considered a potential culprit by the police… And even more so when Denise Huskins reappears two days later, to everyone’s surprise. She is then accused of having orchestrated a prank to take revenge for her boyfriend’s affair. Denise Huskins, however, continues to assert that she was indeed kidnapped.
The kidnapped truth: from dream to American nightmare is one of Netflix’s many “true crime” documentary series, in which the streaming platform returns to an often sordid news story to decipher its inner workings.
Thus, it is likely that Aaron Quinn and Denise Huskins unfortunately suffered the unintended consequences of the film Gone Girl, by David Fincher. Released a few months earlier, this feature film tells how a woman fakes her own kidnapping to frame her unfaithful husband. Through The kidnapped truth : from dream to American nightmareit is more precisely the judicial, police and media system of the United States which is criticized, particularly while the words of women victims of abuse still remain flouted.
Eventually, the couple will end up being considered, finally, by the authorities. A suspect will be arrested, while Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn will file a complaint against the investigators in charge of the investigation for defamation, wrongful arrest and imprisonment intentionally causing emotional distress.
Today, the couple says they are still traumatized by the tragedy they experienced in 2015. However, these ordeals will not have broken them, on the contrary. Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn are now parents to two children. You can discover their story in the three-episode miniseries available on Netflix.
