‘Gone Girl’ kidnapper faces new charges tied to 2009 home invasions of Calif. women

“Gone Girl” kidnapper Matthew Muller was hit with fresh charges on Monday in two home invasions that took place nearly 15 years ago — and six years before his infamous abduction of Vallejo woman Denise Huskins, California prosecutors said.

Muller, who is already serving a 40-year prison term for the 2015 kidnapping and sexual assault of Huskins that cops initially believed was a hoax, is accused of breaking into two other women’s homes less than a month apart in 2009.

Muller, an Ivy League-educated Marine, allegedly barged into one victim’s Mountain View home predawn on Sept. 29 where he tied her up and forced her to drink a cocktail of medications before telling her he was going to rape her, according to Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office, which is prosecuting the new cases.

The woman, in her 30s, was able to convince him not to carry out his sick crime, leading Muller to tell the victim to get a dog before fleeing, prosecutors alleged.

Then on Oct. 18 of that year, Muller broke into a Palo Alto home where he allegedly bound and gagged a woman and made her drink Nyquil. The victim, also in her 30s, got him to stop mid-assault, prosecutors said.

Muller allegedly gave her crime prevention advice and then fled, according to the district attorney’s office.

“The details of this person’s violent crime spree seem scripted for Hollywood, but they are tragically real,” Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a statement.

“Our goal is to make sure this defendant is held accountable and will never hurt or terrorize anyone ever again. Our hope is that this nightmare is over.”

Both cases went unsolved even though he was initially suspected in the Palo Alto case, CBS News reported at the time.

The cases were eventually revived with the help of advanced DNA testing. The Harvard grad’s DNA was found on straps he used to tie up one of his victims, which spurred the renewed attention on the cases, according to prosecutors.

Muller gained infamy – and is even the subject of a Netflix documentary series called “American Nightmare” — after he drugged Huskins and her beau, Aaron Quinn, inside their Vallejo home before dragging her to a Lake Tahoe cabin and sexually assaulting her in March 2015.

He let her go two days later after dropping her off in Southern California. Police at first believed her boyfriend carried out a fake kidnapping that was referred to as a real-life “Gone Girl” case in reference to the book and also hit 2014 movie starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.

But cops arrested Muller that June after he became a suspect in another home invasion in Dublin, California.

“I still have nightmares every night,” Haskins told Muller at his sentencing. “Sleep is not rest for me. It is a trigger.”

The sicko pleaded guilty to the kidnapping and sexual assault of Huskins and is currently in federal custody.

He now faces a pair of felony sexual assault charges for the 2009 cases and could spend the rest of his life locked up if convicted.
