Harvard Law School graduate Matthew Muller’s career as a tech-savvy immigration attorney in San Francisco had collapsed under the weight of financial and mental health problems years before he was accused last month in a criminal complaint of kidnapping a California woman in a plot likened to the film “Gone Girl.”
On July 19, Muller, 38, was disbarred after federal prosecutors brought a criminal complaint alleging he kidnapped 29-year-old Denise Huskins from her boyfriend’s Vallejo, California, home. Federal prosecutors allege that several suspects entered the home on the night of March 23, drugged the couple and forced them to wear swim goggles.
The boyfriend, although bound with zip ties, managed to call police but said he didn’t know Huskins’ whereabouts. Two days later, she was dropped off at her mother’s house in Huntington Beach.
