Alleged Kidnapping for Ransom of Huntington Beach Woman Was ‘Orchestrated': Police

In a bizarre twist, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday that people who identified themselves as the kidnappers had contacted them.

In an email to the newspaper on Tuesday, they wrote that Huskins “will be returned safely (Wednesday). We will send a link to her location after she has been dropped off. She will be in good health and safe while she waits. Any advance on us or our associates will create a dangerous situation for Denise. Wait until she is recovered and then proceed how you will. We will be ready.”

The email included an audio recording of Huskins, who mentioned Tuesday’s deadly plane crash in France to demonstrate she was alive that day, as well as personal information to prove she was, in fact, the person speaking, the Chronicle reported.

She’s a nut or something.

From the story:

A relative told the L.A. Times that Huskins had left a voicemail that said: “Daddy, I’m OK. They dropped me off at mom’s house, but she’s not there so I’m walking to your house.”

After Huskins spoke with detectives in the building where her father lives, news video showed her being escorted into a police vehicle and driven away.

She was expected to be transported by family members to Vallejo and interviewed by police investigators there.

Local detectives and the FBI arranged for a jet to fly Huskins back to Northern California for an interview, according to a news release from the Vallejo Police department.

But as of 9 p.m., police had been unable to contact Huskins or members of her family.

She had retained an attorney, the release stated, and detectives were unaware of her location.

Police said at this point there was no evidence to support the claims that this was an abduction. Given the facts, police said the incident appears to be an orchestrated event.
