Kidnapping survivor, once dismissed as a liar, now retrains police to help victims

Denise Huskins, who was accused of lying after surviving a home invasion and kidnapping, has now found herself teaming up with law enforcement.

The California woman, featured in the Netflix true-crime docuseries “American Nightmare,” is now being asked to speak with officers aiming to transform their interrogation training methods.

At 40, she recently appeared on a true crime podcast by PAVE Studios, “Clues,” hosted by Morgan Absher and Kaelyn Moore. This weekly series seeks to delve into some of “the world’s most infamous crimes where a single clue can crack a case wide open.”

“Who I really am – the core of my being, my values, my worth – I wasn’t going to let anyone dictate that,” she added.
