Police called it a hoax, while the victims said it was a traumatic ordeal — and on Monday, federal agents said the bizarre springtime kidnapping-for-ransom of Denise Huskins was indeed for real.

Harvard Law School graduate and embattled attorney Matthew Muller, 38, of Sacramento County is suspected of the home invasion, kidnapping and sexual attack on the 29-year-old Vallejo woman, according to a federal criminal complaint unsealed Monday.

The case, as unusual as it is sensational, captured national attention as details of the saga — which included the kidnapping, a drugging of the boyfriend, and a paltry $8,500 ransom — slowly unfolded.

I grew up in Vallejo but moved to Texas in 1991. My parents worked at Mare Island Naval Shipyard and they still live in there.

Your dad wasn’t the Zodiac was he? Have to ask. Seems everyone is writing books on their father being the Zodiac.

Vallejo is not what it once was, there is very little America there, now except in history.

Standard Liberal Socialist city problems throughout government and employees.

I was very surprised to hear a radio news report last night about this - that the kidnapping is now considered real and not a hoax.

It sure seemed fake when first reported

We lived in Vallejo in 1967-68. My dad also worked at Mare Island. We were just kids but would play all over town and we always thought about the zodiac killer when were out.

How could ya'll miss this little gem:

"A speedboat sat in the driveway of the neatly kept home, and a campaign poster for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders hung in the window."
